LAST EDITION
BLOOOSHED!
Those Who Died Will be Re-
garded as Martyrs.


CINCINNATI, o., Oct. 1S.-The Cormer.
cial Gazette dispatch from Washington
court house starts out as follows: Blood
has been spilled at Washington Court
House, and it will rest with an investiga-
tion to determine whether or not the
troops were authorized to resort to this
last step in the discharge OF duty.
Whatever may be the result OF this
finding, 1t is doubtful IL the people of
Fayette county will ever regard those
who died last night at the hands OF the
militia as other than martyrs in a
righteous cause, although some OF them
at least, were, when they received their
death wounds, engaged in unlawful acts.
In the case of the negro William Jas
per, or Colby, the usually conservatives
and law-abiding citizens of this county
lost all sight of the legal aspects of the
Gaze, and could sec but the scoun-
drel and the gray-haired woman
who was mis- victim. Each
had in his own mind decreed death as tho
punishment of the guilty wretch, and To
enforce that judgment he came hero
armed to resist and empower, if need be,
all the authorities created and maintained
by himself.

Safe In the Penitentiary.


COLUMBUS, o., Oct. 1S.-Jasper Dolby,
the negro sentenced at Washington Court
House to 20 years imprisonment for
criminal assault on most ostimable
white woman, an old lady, was landed
in the penitentiary att o'clock
this morning. He was brought
by Sheriff Cook and Deputy Busick, who
were accompanied on the train by the
Columbus companies of the Ohio National
Guard. The prisoner was taken from the
train at Dennison avenue, not coming
into the Union Station. and walked
to the prison, one wall OF which
is on the avenue. The military re-
NAMED in the cars and werc carried
to the union station. All troops have left
Washington c. IL. A Columbus Dispatch
reporter, who came up with the train,
states that after midnight things at the
Court House quieted down very much.
The citizens had nearly all gone home.
Yet many persons stood on the neighbor-
ing corners until much later hour, dis
cussing the affair, as may readily be inn
agined in connection with such terrible
sensation as the killing of three men
and the wounding of IL Others by the
militia. Some of these people who were
round about the court house, We're sup
posed to be in plot to blow no the
building with dynamite. There had been
so much talk about possible occurrences
of that kind, based upon what seemed to
be reliable evidence, that the vigilance Of
the guard was not relaxed in the least.
When Jasper was called up to plead he
had to be assisted to his feet. He made
repeated attempts to speek, and finally
whispered guilty" in barely audible
tone

A Wife and Mother Taken,

At lO;45 Sunday morning, at hci
home corner Seventh and Olive, aftel
many years of battle against disease
the wife Of Elder II. Davidson, editor
of the Evangelical Visitor, sank int
rest. For the past two months sh'
has been waveling between life and
death and for 4S hours she has been
unconscious. Although realizing
that the end was near she met IL with
a stout heart, calm in the faith that
had so long sustained her.
Her maiden name was Fannie L.
Rice, daughter of Rev. and Mrs. Sam
uel Rice. She was born at Penns-
vile, Fayette county, Pa, Jan. II,
1881; died Oct. II, 1891, aged 6S
years, y months, three days. She
was married to Henry Davidson April
10, 1855. They moved to Michigan
and three years ago came to Abilene.
For nearly 30 years she has been
afflicted with cancer, making her life
almost martyrdom. The husband
and eight children mourn the decease
Of devoted wife and loving, tender
mother. Four children reside in the
East. The others-Frances, Lydia,
Albert and lda--are here. For 80
years Mrs. Davidson has been mem
Der Of the River Brethren church and
her life and Christian experience have
been imbued with the true Christian
faith, the hope and strength that fade
not away. The sympathy of a wide
circle of friends will be extended the
family in its sorrow.

High School Notes.

ings and view the stars through a
telescope. So II you hear a student
speak Of having seen stars don't i'm
agine that anything dreadful has hap
pened to him.
The teacher in local government
was somewhat startled when a pupil
told him that scholar might be ex-
PEELED from school for immortality
meaning immortality.
Our high school is nothing II not
progressive. There are three literary
societies in full blast and one, the
Kappas, in sort Of half blast. There
is also lrst-class orchestra which
assists in the morning exercises. 1t
is composed Of Glenn Raub, Chas.
Johntz, Herbert Howard and Harold
and Clarke Baker.
The Senimore society recently dis
cussed the following question; "Re-
solved, that the recent strike in the
United States was detrimental to this
country" The rumor that several
statesmen were coming for pointers on
the question proved false.
Two new literary societies were re-
Gently organized in the high school.
One, the Senimore, is composed of the
Seniors and Sophomores, and the
other the Victorian OF the Freshmen
and Juniors. Miss Lois Mutt is pres
ident of the Senimore and D. c. Lott
of the Victorian. Attendance and
participation in the program is com
pulsory. Special attention is given
to the study Of parliamentary law and
the societies no doubt will be Of great
benefit TO the students.

will not use any cheap, claptrap non
sense in his arguments, but will argue
the questions from grave and digni-
fled standpoint-in amanner belitting
a man capable of being the chief ex-
ecutive Of probably the most enlight-
ened commonwealth under the stars
and stripes He will tell the truth,
the whole truth and nothing but the
truth, and his hearers will depart a
thinking people and not a horde Of
anarchists ready to cut the throat of
their country and pull down and de-
stroy its institutions. What he will
have to say will do them good and
they will depart with a better opinion
of the State.
Mr.. Calderhead is also man with
something to say and all will want to

THE CHURCH HIs PRIDE,
Uncle Thomas Goodwin Dies at the
Age Of Eighty.
From Saturdays Daily.]

lrrom SATURDAY DAILY
Peacefully as a child falls ASLEEP
there died this morning well known
character of this vicinity, "Uncle'
Thomas Goodwin. For years he was
familiar to all attendants Of the NJ. Il.
church Of this city, whose amen cor
ner was his especial place every Sun
day. Growing age has increased his
feebleness recently but'his death was
not looked for. A week ago he took
cold and sank rapidly to the end. His
death took place at the home Of his
nephew, John Goodwin, a prominent
farmer Of Hayes township.
Mr. Goodwin was born in England
in January, 1914, thus being nearly
81 years Of age. He came to Amer
lea in 1919 settling in Illinois and to
Dickinson county in 1870. He first
lived on his farm in Hayes township
This he sold and moved to Abilene
where he remained until year ago
when he went to live with his nephew,
his only relative in this country.
"Uncle Tommy as everybody
knew him, never married, but he was
the friend Of all. He never did any
man harm and he took the chief de-
light of his life in his religion, being
a member of the Methodist church
since young manhood. He never
missed u meeting or service and three
years ago he gave the bulk Of his
property, consisting of $1,000 in cash,
to the Methodist church of this place
on condition Of his being paid
interest on it until his death, when it
was to become the church's property.
The money paid of a debt on the par
sonage. His was one Of those quiet,
unassuming lives, that hoard not
neither do they urge their gifts on
Others but are content togo on happy
in their own possession.
Funeral services will be held in the
River Brethren church, Hayes town
ship, and the burial in the cemetery
adjoining by the request of the de-
ceased. Rev. Il. Il. Tarbill will Off
ciate. Services at 1890 a. m. tomor-
