waS an unusual exhibit of religious
faith for an invalid to be immersed in

1t was less an exhibition of faiththan
of bad judgment on the part of the

perpetrated. Sense is as desirable in
religion as in anything else.

securing the State Breeders meeting

GATED
There are several instances in this
county where farmers were Sc anxious
to get out of debt that they decided
their farms to the mOrtgagor for their
debt sometimes a little bit over and
then rented the farm from the new
owner. In some cases the crop this
year from the farm was sufficient to
pay off the entire debt and keep the
farmer for one year. We have heard
of two such cases, where the farmer
tried to buy his farm back again, but
could not do it.-[Minneapols Messen-

BURNED TO THE GROUND.
o. L. Thisler's Handsome Barn East
Of Detroit DESTROYED.

Word was brought today of a serious
fire on the fine stockfarm of Otis L.
Thisler east of Detroit, by which the
large and well appointed barn was des-
troyed, together with most of its
contents. The origin of the fire is not
known but it is supposed to have been
due to the Union Pacific trains which
pass close to the buildings of the farm.
The barn contained besides a large
amount of farming implements, etc.,
three thoroughbred shOrthorn COWS,
2CG0 bushels of wheat and several tons
of hay, all of which was destroyed.
The barn itself cost about $500 and
the total insurance was only g, 400.
The amount of the loss will be heavy.
Mr.. Thisler had the barn and contents
insured in the Kansas Farmers and
the company sent down to adjust the
loss today, when more definite facts
will be known.
Mr.. Thisler's many friends will SYM
pathize with him in his loss. He is
one of the county's leading stockmen
and most successful farmers.

DR.. Adams was called to the witness
stand, after the denomination Of
Timothy Loehr, the facts Of which are
given above. DR.. Adams practically
substan.iated the testimony given BY
DR.. Jennings. but upon inquiry a. to
the cause Of Krinkler's death he stated
that it was only a question Of time be-
fore the second operation, when death
would ensue from the clots in the
brain formed after the blow was given.
He alsostated that the second opera
ton without doubt fastened death.
This fact was known to Krinkler, but
he Insisted on having it performed. DR..
Yutzy also substantiated the testimony
Of Drs. Jennings and Adams and
stated that on several occasions the de-
eased had urged an operation.
Sheriff Clifford then testified to the
fact of his making the arrests Of Par
ker and Bates, giving the main facts
in his capture Of them. He testified
that the defendants had confessed to
HIM on several occasions to being
Krenkler's assailants, and had in their
letters to parents stated that they ex-
pected to Ego over the road"

amined, stated that before the opera
ton on Thursday last that Krenkler
was about the house, walked up town,
had a good appetite and ate with the
rest of the boarders and appeared quite
we'll but could not speak. He seemed
conscious and laughed heartily and
frequently, but suffered without much
complaint. After last operation he
gradually declined until his death, but
appeared conscious almost to the last,
His appetite failed him and he was
confined to his bed, growing weaker all
the time.
The testimony being all in, the jury
retired and about six o'clock ret urned

Before the testimony was half over,
the jury were given an opportunity to
view the body Of deceased. after which
it was buried in the city cemetery.
The deceased was a young man
about 80, and of foreign birth. He
had been a member Of the regular
army of the United States and had
been stationed at Fl. Meade for five
years, we understand. In his satchel
were found his discharge papers, show
ing that he had been dismissed
from actual service. From letters
found it was also ascertained that his
parents were residents Of Kentucky,
but no word was received from them.
Since the assault upon him he has suf-
fered most terribly, but bore up under
it with great fortitude. His case is
a sad one, and every attention has
been paid him by citizens to make
his affection as light as possible.
