FRANK COZ ST., KILLED |
In Falling from a Load of
Shingles Receives Injuries,
From Which He Dies in a Few
Hours-His Funeral Held
at Hamler Sunday.

Henry county and vicinity was not little
shocked and grieved Friday to learn of the
accident that resulted IN the death Of Frank
Coe Sr.. at Hamler.
No one saw the accident and but little was
ascertained from the unfortunate man when
found, he being in a semi conscious state.
As near as can be found out the following
circumstances surround his death;
Friday morning he started from Hamler
with load of shingles enroute for Mr.. And
rix's in Richfeld township.
He was seated on the front part of the load
and thsroa being very rough it is supposed
that in passing over a rut by the Pittman
school house he was precipitated with one
bunch Of shingles TO the road. The horses,
which we're colts and very fiery, dashed away
but we're stopped after running mile.
Mrs. Willard, residing near, seeing the
runaway, ran out and found Mr.. Coe insen-
sible on the road. Several other females ar.
irving, Mrs. Willard dispatched them for aid
and he was carried to her house.
DIR. Reddin of Hamler was summoned but
his efforts we're futile and the unfortunate
man died at one o'clock. DR.. Garrett of
Deshler was also sent for but did not arrive
until after the death. The body was taken to
his home in Hamler.
An examination by the doctors ELECTED that
Mr.. Coe undoubtedly came to his death by
heart disease, as beyond few slight bruises
on the body no other injuries could be found.
That he was not run over is without doubt.
The fall was high one, and he has long
been a victim of heart disease, hence the
theory that this was the direct cause of his
death, is PLAUSIBLE.
A telegram bearing the sad intelligence
wes Immediately sent to Frank Coe Jr., who
was spending week at Lakeside.
The funeral was held Sunday at Hamler.
Rev. Colgan having charge of the ceremonies
Mr.. Coe was one of Hamler's most solid
citizens, well respected and in the 50th year
of his age. He was well known, having been
hotel keeper for years.

A NOSE FEAST.
JOHN BOGART CHEWS HAM
HAYES PRoBOSCIS AND
"SWIPESn HIM WITH A
TOMAHAWK.
At Peep OF Dawn the Forces Met In
Interuecine Array-Old Play,

Squire Hudson held court Saturday.
Early in the morning of that day Ham
Hayes, of Freedom tp., presented himself
with nose chewed TO pulp and broken
head, and swore out a warrant for the arrest
of John Bogart, charging him with assault
and battery with intent TO kill.
Bogart was arrested and gave bonds for his
appearance in the afternoon.
He appeared at that time and likewise did
a crowd of spectators, who, each and every
one. was laboring under the impression that
justice could not be measured out in any
liberal quantity without their presence. Ten
or fifteen women gave tone (2) to the hear
ing by their dulcifying presence.
As deduced from the testimony the follow
ing is the fracas:
The two belligerents live on adjoining
| farms and it seems that smouldering feel
ing of antipathy has been ranking in the
breast of each for some time. This blazed
forth in flame of sulphur blue when at 3
O'Clock Saturday morning Bogart was
aroused from tranquil slumbers to arrest
the spoilation of his corn field by four of
Hayes horses. He locked them up and sent
his hired boy to Hayes house, notifying him
of his action and asking him to call for his
property.
Accompanied with one Williamson, his
hired hand, Hayes went to the barn but Bo-
gart refused to give them up without the pay
ment of 81, which he alleged was the extent
of the damage done to his corn. Hayes asked
him to specify the damage, which he refused
to do. One word brought on another and,
according to the plaintiff and his witness,
Bogart flashed a revolver within several
inches of his face and threatened to blow his
brains ont. Hayes knocked it aside, where
upon Bogart laid the shooting iron on a
bench and seizing Ratchet rushed upon his
antagonist striking him on the head with the
pole of the tool. They clinched and Bogart
was downed. They both endeavored to gain
possession of the hatchet. Finally through
the dust of battle could be distinguished the
Two men, each hold of the hatchet while Bo-
gart was chewing Hayes nose!
'Let go my nose," the suffering man
sbrieked. "Drop the tomahawk," was the
cold response. A compromise was reached
and the combatants parted. Hayes and his
hired man started for home and as they were
leaving the gate Bogart evidently reconsider
ed the matter and seizing neck yoke struck
the hired man blow over the head, sending
him to grass without more ado. Williamson
struggled to his feet, lar-uped Bogart over
the head with a halter, climbed the fence
and dared him out in the road. The two
then came to town and had Bogart arrested.
Bogart denied having drawn a pistol and
is supported in this by the testimony of
Howard Cramer, his hired boy.
Squire Hudson bound him over to court
placing the bail at $500, which was readily
furnished.
Wednesday morning Bogart retaliated by
swearing out a warrant against both Hayes
and Williamson for assault and battery.
The case was heard before Judge Donnel-
ly, and discharged, there being no cause for
action,

Our Wheat Cron.

The personal property assessors this spring
report 32,207 acres out in wheat in this coun-
ty for this year. Last year there we're a.
1888 acres sown, with yield of 312,936 bush
els, an average of not quite 1925 bushels per
acre. So far as we can learn from those
who have tbreshed their wheat, the average
will not fall far below 25 bushels per acre.
If this average will hold good, and present
indications point that it will, our wheat
crop for this year will be 8O5,175 bushels, or
over double what it was in 1890! This shows
that Henry county is coming forward as one
of the wheat counties of the state. verifying
the statement as has oft been made. that Hen
ry county is one of the best agricultural
counties of the state. Should the farmers
get dollar bushel for their wheat, they
would receive $S05,17 or if the average
would be zoe per bushel, they would pocket
$644, ,140 for their wheat crop of 1891.

win IL Reach One Dollar?

Will wheat reach dollar this fall We
hope it will but there is adiversity of opin-
ion upon the subject. large number of
dealers and farmers think the price must ad-
vance, because the foreign demand for our
wheat is so great, while on the other hand
there are those who believe that notwith-
standing the big demand for our wheat the
crop is so large that from one to two million
bushels will go over until next year. The
farmers of Henry county are inclined to hold
on to their crop in anticipation of higher
nricas.

SHORT BUT SWEET.
The Gravel Road Workers Indulge in
aDay's Strike.

aDay's Strike.
A long procession of teams filed through
Washington ct. Monday morning and brought
up in front of tile town hall. The men all
looked determined and on inquiry we could
only get the one word "strike."
Upon investigation, however, we learned
that they were hired on the Infrmary road to
haul gravel. They we're paid rs cts. per load
and required to haul four loads per day,
which they claimed consumed the entire
tIme.
Monday morning the contractor, Mr.,
Ramus. informed them that hereafter five
trips at sixty cents for each load of IL yd.
would constitute a days work, which
they refused to do and came to Napoleon.
An indignation meeting was held at the
town hall, proposition drawn up and sent to
the contractor in which it was agreed to haul
four loads each day, each load to contain IL
cubic yds. of gravel.
Receiving no answer. another meeting was
held in the evening in which a resolution
was adopted to concede nothing otherwise
than their former terms.
Tuesday morning the proposition was ac-
cepted and the men continued work.
Peace and serenity now exists between en-
ployer and employees.
