The Madison daily leader. [volume] (Madison, S.D.) 1890-current, 1893-03-31

Easter, which is now proceeded by
Lent, in early days was introduced by
fasting on one day orly, the Friday IN
Passion week, 0 known as Good Fri
day. By and by the time was extended
to forty hours, in token that Christ had
lain that long in the tomb. Some Gen.
turtles later this was extended to forty
days, In commemoration OF the season of
the temptation and fast in the wilderness.
The name Easter is probably derived
from the Teutonic goddess Of spring,
Ostera Or Oestre, whose festival occurs
about the same time as the observance
OF Easter. Lent is derived from the
Anglo Saxon word, ~lencten, which means
'spring," and has NO connection at all
with fasting, as some people imagine.
1t was not until the fourth century
that there was any regularity about the
fixing the date of Easter Sunday. Those

tival on the day prescribed for the
Jewish pasch, the fourteenth day OF the
first month; that is, the lunar month,
OF which the fourteenth day either falls
on or next after the day OF the vernal
equinox.
But most of the Christian churches,
attaching greater Importance to the day
OF Christ's resurrection, held to Easter
being celebrated on the Sunday which
followed the fourteenth day of the o
OF March, the day on which CHRIST
suffered.

BARNES is EASIER.

The General Escapes From His En-
counter With a Few Bruises
About the Head.

The murderous assault made upon Gen.
eral W. Fl. l.. Barnes before his residence,
at SOL Suffer street. last Friday night has
happily had no serious results. The gen.
eral has carefully avoided any unnecessary
excitement since the occurrence and strenu-
ousIy avoids any reference whatever to the
matter. Members of his household de-
clare that his condition is in no way alarm
ing and report a cOmfortab Bile night and day
passed.
The wounds, which are all in the region OF
the head and shoulders, were undoubtedly
inflicted with a sandbag and club and were
not of sufficiently serious a nature to pre-
vent the general from proceeding to the
residence OF his physician. DR.. julius
Rosenstrn, Immediately after the en-
counter to have them dressed. He was also
about town yesterday.
DR.. ROsenstirn says the Injuries consist
Of two severe scalp wounds and large
swelling of blood beneath the skin. One
of the bones in the head was also slightly
fractured.
As far as can be ascertained the facts in
the case are as follows:
In accordance with his usual custom Gen.
eral Barnes on Friday night spent the even
ing at the Bohemian Club, starting for home
shortly after l o'clock. After ascending
the flight Of steps before his residence, the
general pushed open the storm-dOOT, which
is always unlocked at this time OF the year.
and entered the small recess within.
Scarcely had he stepped foot over the
doorsil, when two men who were in waiting
within sprang upon the unsuspecting gem
eral and struck him over the head and
shoulders with club and sandbag. Gen.
eral Barnes, although at disadvantage
from the darkness and the suddenness of
the attack, turned upon his assalants, de-
Tending himself with his cane and fists. The
odds we're greatly against him, however. and
2 fter telling him to the ground the ruffians
fed.
Immediately upon recovering conscious
ness the general went TO DR.. ROsenstrn,
who lives in the next block, and had his
wounds dressed, and then leiSurely returned
home.
No clew as to the identity of the asSassins
has as yet been found. A mask and O re-
YolYer containing four 36-caliber cartridges
were found IN the neighberho0d of the ell
counter and brought to the police headauar-
tiers yesterday.
1t is thought TINT the attack was premed-
tated and made by enemies of the general
who thought they had received some injury
at his hands, All such surmises. however
are mere suspicious, and until more light is
thrown upon the matter must necessarily

A QUEER AFFAIR.
Fight Between Man and Woman on
Main Street.

Fight Between a Man and Woman on
Main Street.
A peculiar little affair took place On Main
street about o'clock last night and at
present is something of mystery. Special
Officer Herlhy heard a pistol shot
near by. and hurrying in the direction of
the sound found a man and a woman scuf-
fling.
The man had smoking revolver in his
hand and was cuTsipg tie woman shock
ingly.
Officer Aitkin also arrived on the scene In
a moment and both were arrested and taken
to the South Harbor station.
The man said the woman had threatened
to shoot him and be had taken the revolver
from her and fired it in the air to attract
the attention of the police.
The woman said the man had assaulted
her on the street and beaten her and would
have killed her but for the arrival of the
officer. Her face was cut and bleeding In
a dozen places and her eyes were both
blackened.
The mans name Is William Mckenzie
and the woman's Mary Fletcher. She put
charge of battery against Mckenzie and
was released so shecould dress her wounds.
The police put in charge of dischargiDg
firearms against him.
The stories of the two people do not seem
to hitch. There is a missing linz. All the
questioning could not make either of them
tell the cause oftlhe trouble. and there were
no witnesses 10 the affair. The chances
are there is good dSal more to il that can
