Death from Campaign Whisky and al

On election morning a rumor was Cir
culated and soon verified, that Samuel
Faulkner, IL plasterer and stonemason,
had been shot at his home in this city
by his son. The story is substantially
as follows: Faulkner left home on Mon
day evening to hear about election, he
soon struck campaign whisky and be-

the family residence the father became
enrased at the boy and struck him on
the head and threatened to kill him. He
then went out doors after q club when
the boy locked him out. The father
broke i'll, however, and attempted
another assault on the boy, who picked
up a shot gun thinking to brighten him
away. A struggle ensued for the pos
session OF the weapon, during which it
was discharged, the entire charge strik-
ing the man i'll and slightly above the
right groln, mutilating him in a fearful
manner. Faulkner lived about four
hours, and before his death exonerated
the boy ron all blame in the matter.
The case is terribly sad. The deceased

When the prohibition fight was being
was being waged in Rapid City, David
Clark was ourmayor. During the entire
contest he devoted his time and atten-
ton to defeating the measure and abus-
ing the people who were working for it.
No epithet OF contempt was low enough
for him to apply to men who were try
ing to strike down the liquor interest.
He openly declared that law would not
be enforced here if it were adopted: that
he would never pile one brick On top of
another in the id town if it adopted
prohibition. He backed his talk by be-
| ing "a constant patron OF the whisky
mills, and is yet. He has made his CAM
paign; 1T has been made this fall on the
demijohn plan, and at least n man to-
day sleeps the last long sleep OF death as
the direct result OF drinking the fortyrod
whisky furnished him by Clark and his
associates on the republican ticket. Be-
sides the use of whisky, his money was
put in use to buy the votes OF men who
are liable to go hungry before spring.
AS Clark's opponent, the INDEPENDENTS
placed before the people E. F. Doty; a
man who spent four years OF his life on
the nations battleields and today car
ries rebel bullets, and for t%wenty-six
years has been a constant sufferer from
disease contracted during that service.
He has been for years Il consistent, earn
est, hardworking, prohibitionist. For
brains and ability he is as much above
Clark as the sun is above the earth; no
man or paper has been able to discover
a spot on his character as a man and a
citizen. His canvass was made Oh prin-
ciple, no man is any the worse for his
race; no whisky, no brides, no dirt. Yet
we find that in the second ward of this
city, the high toned, prohibition section,
where the spires of the churches pierce
the sky, Clark gets lab votes and Doty
ffty-fve. Comment is unnecessary. The
prohibitionists have again placed party
fealty above principle, money above
worth, corruption above patriotism.

CUT TO PIECES.
A Man Beheaded and Terribly
Mangled.
A Frightful Accident on the r. L. 4
r. Near Milan This Morning---
Frank DEVICES Fate.

Chas. York, of Milan. was walking
along the track of the r. l. & P. road
coming toward Rock Island at 5 o'clock
this morning, and just as he approached
the first bridge he made startling a nd
ghastly discovery. Between the two
tracks lay the headless trunk of a man,
one arm missing, while the body was also
cut in two 10 the middle, and twenty feet
further along the track was the head, on
the side of which was frightful cash.
the evident imprint of the merciless car
wheel. Mr.. York was naturally terror
stricken. and hurrying back to Milan,
summoned friends who accompanied him
to the site of the discovery. while word
was telephoned to Coroner Halves, who
went out on the 6 o'clock freight and
conducted an inquest. summoning as a
jury, Rev. j. II. Kerr. foreman, j. D.
Haislip. Perry Walker. j. D. Lsfferty. Fl.
G. Harris and Geo. D. Brown.
An investigation revealed the identity
of the mangled body to be that of Frank
Devoe. moulder living in this city. His
father, Anthony Devoe. lives on Twelfth
street between Eleventh and Twelfth ave.
nnes. hQt with another son has been
camping on Big Island back of the toll
gate of late. The father and two sons
work at their trade in Moline and last
evening Frank paid visit to his father
and brother at the camp. The last trace
that can be found of him is that he was
seen 10 Milan at about IL o'clock. The
most natural theory is that he attempted
to board freight train No on the r. l.
& P. for Rock Island and which came
through Milan at 2 go this morning and
that he missed his hold or footing, and
fell under the wheels. The train was in
charge of Conductor Whitney and pulled
by engine with Engineer Elberson at
the throttle. None of the crew knew
anything of the accident. the first APP
prisement Of the fatality that they had,
being the announcement this morning.
These were in substance the facts pre-
sented to the coroner's jury who returned
verdict that the deceased cane to his
death by being run over by train No. a
on the r. 1. & P. railroad.
The remains were afterward gathered
up by Undertaken Knox, brought to Rock
Island and prepared for interment. The
right arm is missing entirely and is be-
liered to have been carried by the wheels
and dropped into the river
Devoe was about thirty years of age
and quite we'll known.
The funeral will occur tomorrow morn,

White had felled with q club at Gutten-

taken to the calaboose and Turley to the

that his skull had been fractured. Tur-
ley never recovered his senses after being
struck. He died at Mercy hospital this
