An Historic Elm Tree.

GORDON, Sept. L-Corydon boasts an
historic elm tree under whose spreading
branches tradition has 1T that a session of
the Indiana Territorial Legislature was
held. 1t is known that an extra session of
the Legislature was held at Corydon dur
ing a summer while Indiana was a Terri
tory. 1t is also believed that the tree was
then large enough to shelter such a body,
and as it stood upon q cool. messy bank
near a spring and only q short distance
from the Capitol, it is quite probable that
the members of tho Legislature would
leave a warm, crowded room and repair to
such a cool spot. A convention was held
at Corydon in June, 1916, for the purpose of
1t has been reported that this convention
was held under the famous tree. 1t is o
known fact that in a later day the grand
jury for the Harrison Circuit Court held
sessions under the tree. Many visitors on
reaching this place ask to see the historical
tree. and are referred to this spreading
elm, whose body measures thirteen feet
three inches in circumference, and between
the tips OF the limbs is q distance of lis
feet.
The teachers of Harrison county, who
were assembled in an institute last
week, believing in the tradition of this
tree. gathered under its boughs and held
concentrating exercises. such as deliver
ing o%rations, singing patriotic songs, etc.
Miss Dye, of indianapolis, had prepared
souvenirs for the occasion. which were
distributed among the teachers. These
keepsakes consisted of folio cards, upon
which were pinned leaves from the tree,
and upon which were written appropriate
quotations from thep poet Lowell.

True to Her wouId-Be Murderer.

JEFFERsoNvILLE, Sept. 1.-Frank Shank,
sent to the Prison South, from Germantown,
for SIX years, for attempting to cut the
throat of his sweetheart, is lying danger
ously illof malarial fever. Before the death
of his father, Shank was n most exemplary
young man, but soon fell into dissolute
ways, and it was only three months after
the death of his parent that he committed
the crime for which he now suffers the
penalty. His degradation became so low
that he felt himself unworthy of the affec-
tions of a pure-minded woman, and he made
the attempt to take her life because she in
sisted upon becoming his bride, she saying
that she could reform him and make him a
God-fearing and law-respecting man. He
determined to take Der life, and suffer the
death penalty of the law. Providence in
terfered, and the girl recovered, and, al
though she bears a deep scar upon her neck,
she still remains true to him, and vows she
will wed him as soon as he is released from
prison. The indications are now that he
will hardly live to see the expiration of his
sentence, his health being almost DESTROYED.
Shank declares that he would rather die in
prison than have people say of his faithful
love that she married a man who had served
a term in the penitentiary.

bers of the executive committee OF the

faction as opposed to the nationalist fac.
ton. have issued call for convention 81
all the camps in the country. The call is
signed by Luke A. Dillon and O'Meagher
Condor OF this city, James Tierney of New
York, and Mortimer ScaDlan of Chicago.
There are nine members of the executive
committee, five of whom are nationalists,
who therefore have control. These five
have come out in counter circular for
bidding the camps to send dele
gates to the proposed convention, as
the call is unauthorized and illegal.
The purpose OF the convention called by
Dillon, Condor, Seaman and Tierney is
stated to be the reorganizing OF the order.
The circular calls for one delegate from
each camp and blanks are enclosed for fill
ing in the same with the name of the dele
gate and alternate elected, which are to be
forwarded as well as other communications
to E. Kemper, box 56S, Philadelphia post
Office. It is claimed the name of Kemper
is not the real name of any one connected
with the movement, but it is assumed.
The circular goes on to say that upon re-
ceipt of these names and credentials pass
words and time OF the convention will be
sent in return. Luke Dillon has been desig-
mated as the presiding officer.

Terrible Beating.

Prominent St. Louis Citizen Receives a
Terrible Beating.
ST. LOUIS, October 7.-Captain D. P.
Slattery, president OF the Merchants EIeva-
tor company, AID a prominent and
wealthy citize of st. Louis, lies at his
home unconscious from the effects OF g.
brutal beating received early this morning,
near the corner OF Jefferson and Cass ave-
nues. Those implicated in the affair tell a.
most peculiar story. Edward Klosterman
keeps grocery and saloon at the corner
named, and claims that at o'clock this
morning his wife was awakened by a noise
and saw a man walking toward her bed
without shoes, hat or coat. She
screamed, and Klosterman and his bar
fender came mn staira Alnxa nAar HINT
them and told KIosterman to turn the
man over to him. This was done and Hunt
beat the stranger, who proves to have been
Captain Slattery, most brutally, winding
up by throwing him down stairs. They
then followed him out on the street and
beat him in terrible manner there and
when they had pounded him sufficiently,
took him to the police station, where a
sergeant Immediately recognized him and
sent for physicians, who pronounced his
injuries very dangerous. All parties con-
cerned are under arrest.
The assailants claim that Slattery never
spoke, even before Hunt began to beat him.
Slattery's missing clothes were brought
home this morning, Klosterman claiming
to have found them in the street. A
diamond ring and pin valued at $500
are missing. The affair has created intense
excitement.
