Small Roy of the Period.

Where the road between MERGED
and smelling crosses the MERGED river
that stream is about two hundred
yards in width, and even at this sea-
son of the year, when the water is
quite low, it looks like dangerous
and deep stream to cross. Last
Thursday a patent medicine agent,
travelling on horseback through this
section, came to the river and hesitat-
ed about attempting to ford it as he
saw the wide expansc of rushing water.
There is no bridge anywhere along
there. and after some indecision he
concluded to swim his horse across.
Spying boy fishing in small punt
tied to the bank, he said:
Hello, bubr'
Hello, yourself IF-S!
Can I get you to take my clothes
across the river in your boat?'
L rekin you kin, if you've got any
soap
"All right, I'll give you quarter to
take over my clothes and this carpet
sack to the opposite shore.
| To this the boy nodded assent, the
stranger disrobcd, turned over the
| carpet sack and habiliments to the
juvenile, who padded out into the
stream, and mounted his horse, pre-
pared to swim the river and enjoy the
luxury of a bath. With a splash al
every moment the horse stepped into
the stream and walked across-the
water was nowhere more than eighteen
inches deep! To say that that medi
cine man, perched on the back of hi:
horse, was man Of iniquity for ths
space Of half an hour would hardly dc
justic to the occasion. There were
enough dams" along the MERGED tina
afternoon to supply hundred mil
sites.-Stockton (CaD Gazette.

A terrible disaster occurred on the
10Th, on the east shore of Lake Michi-
gan, during the fearful gale which
visited that coast. The steamer Iron
sides, of the Milwaukee and Grand
Haven line, went down some miles
from the latter place, and became "a
total wreck. The passengers and crew
took to the boats and a part were
saved, but it is supposed that fifteen
to twenty persisted. Eighteen bodies
have been already recovered. The
Ironsides was regarded as one of the
staunchest steamers on the lakes, and
the disaster shows that the tempest
which wrecked her must have been of
almost unprecedented violence.
About twenty-five vessels of the
Chicago lumber feet are ashore on
the east coast, and several larger
craft crippled or wrecked on the is
lands at the foot of the lake.
The Underwriters estimate the loss
by the recent storm at 100000.

UUAR&ITHs Ind, Sept~16, 1919. $50
Correspondence Richmond Palladium:
In our Circuit Court, yesterday, be-
fore Judge Mellett. the case of the
State vs.. r. NJ. Laughlin, an appeal
from the Knightstown court, where
the defendant was charged, and con-
victed under the temperance law, of
keeping nuisance in the shape Of a
liquor saloon, was argued and decided.
The defendant was elected to have a
jury, and accepted the regular panel.
Messrs. J. & J. Brown appeared for
the defence, and made a labored ar
gument for their client. The point
of law specially involved was the ex-
tent Of criminal responsibility, for the
acts of apparent clerks occupying his
premises, and doing, in his absence,
an illegal business. 1t was, however,
proven that Laughlin, in person, had
few times violated the law by selling
liquor, which, if not to be drank, was
however drank in the room, and be-
fore his face; also, by selling to those
in the habit Of becoming intoxicated
The court held that defendants "di.
rcction, knowledge or consent to such
sales must be proven, but might be
proven by circumstances.
The prosecution was conducted by
E. n. Smith Candidate for Prosecut
ing Attorney and NJ. Forkner. The
case was closed by Mr.. Smith in &
calm, logical speech. He confined
himself mainly to the evidence in thu
case, declaring that he desired to have
the case decidedsstriotly on principles
governing ordinary criminal cases. Ii
his argument he conceded the gentle
manly conduct of defendant, but de
clared that it was his ruinous and de
testible business that was being prose
cuted by the law abiding citizens 0
| KniChtstown.
The jury, after short absence, re
turned verdict Of guilty, with fin.
assessed at forty dollars. So THU
gem" of a saloon is doomed to b.
/ closed, and its lustre hereafter hi,
from mortal gaze.
In conclusion, Mr.. Editor, we woul,
! like to see reports of similar actor
having been taken in "Old Wayne.
Long has she looked to us as pho
neer, in education and civilization
Let us hear Of her having taken a for
ward step against the accursed traffi
