Streator Free Press: John Martinchick,
Hungarian living near No.3, was brought
10 his home Saturday night in an uncon-
cious condition, DIR Dicus was sent for and
found him dying from the effects of blows
as If administered with club upon his
back and hips. His patient was unable to
say word or indicate in any way how he
came by his misfortune; nothing could be
learned from the neighbors. Martinchick
died Sunday morning about nine o'clock.
All the family knows about the affair is
that he drew his money regularly on Sat
urday afternoon, and after eating supper
he left most of his money at home and went
to a saloon near No. 3, where he drank
more or less beer. This is the last that
was known Of him until couple of his
fellow countrymen carried his bruised and
bleeding body home to Lis Mortified family.
The doctor has no hesitancy in saying it is
his belief that Martinchick was foully dealt
with. The coroner of Livingston county
was telegraphed for, and arrived on the
Wabash train this morning.

A Des Moines paper, in the fullness of

of worms on that corn. The most destruc-

There is nothing that adds more to the
beauty of the well kept grounds and door
yards of a village than the disappearance
of fences and walls High fences and
stone walls give an idea of isolation and
suspicion Of neighbors. In modern times,
where stock laws are enforced in nearly all
we'll. ordered communities, these old-time
necessities should disappear. The ideal
village home of the future will stand lit
tie back from the street, have its grass plat
and flower beds and shade trees, aud In
stead of walls and fences its borders will
be marked by corner stone and Towering
plants along the line, For one-half the
cost of fences and gates, in every village
all the streets could be uncovered with
shade, and the lawns be made lovely to the
eye and the air scented with fragrance, A
few leading citizens in any village could
make wonderful changes tol the better in
these respects
