are said to have been killed. II
seems the negroes became angered be.
cause they were forced to ride IN the
colored apartment and as they neAred
their home station they made rush
to get into the coach for white
people. This frightened the women
and timid men. who ran through
the train. At this Deputy
United States Marshal Moses Bull

train, met the negroes and attempted
to quiet them. The negroes then be-

white men emptied all their guns into
the negroes who were punched on the
platform. No one on the train was

Where Is Lott:

Attorney Edward p. Lott, of Iron
River, has departed for parts unknown,
according to the statement of his son, Ed.
Lott. Jr., who was in Crystal Falls dur
ing the fore part Of the week, attempt
ing TO dispose of certain Of his fathers
effects to local attornies. Young Lott
states that he has been appraised Of his
fathers whereabouts, but refuses to dis
close them and says that he will not reg
turn. IN
The queer express money package
episode in which Lott figured with Rush
Culver, late receiver of the Marquette
land office, is said to have been the cause
of Lofts disappearance. Two home
steaders, brothers, Rankin by name, who
live on claims in the township OF Atkin :
son, gave Lott Si24 with which tso e.
cure patents on their claims, Lott hold
ing the office of United States court
commissioner for this district. Lott
claimed to have RENTED the amount by
American Express, TO the receiver Of the
land office. When Receiver Culver
opened the package, however, in the
presence Of witnesses, it contained moth
ing but a quantity of newspaper clip
pings. Trouble followed and Mr.. Lott
made hurried visit TO Marquette. How
the matter was adjusted between Messrs.
Culver ana Lott has not been announced,
but the Rankin brothers subsequently,
discovered that their money had been
lost.
After repeated requests to make good
the amount, Lott stated that he would
leave Iron River and raise the money.
He accordingly departed on Wednesday
OF last week and has not since been
heard from. In the meantime. the home
steaders have sworn out O warrant for
Lofts arrest on charge Of larceny

of Cardinal Gibbons at the cathedral

and the more influence she gains in publio.,ife
the more she will lose in private life While
men are the sovereigns Of the country, thor
wives command them, and. therefore, exert a
controlling power Above oil things take caro-

Attempted Suicide.

Friday Mr.. Claude Wheeler a well
known young man of this place, at
tempted suicide, and but for the
,rompt work of physicians would
probably have succeeded. Friday
afternoon he went to the drug store
and called for a box of rough-on-rats,
stating that those rodents were numer-
Gus at his house. He procured the
box and stepped behind the prescrip-
ton case at Ormes; just then Mr.. John
Boar, whom young Wheeler had told
of his purpose, came up and he and
d.. Orme Undertook to take the box
from Wheeler, but the latter escaped
out of the rear door, and swallowed a
dose of the deadly poison. Doctors
were soon giving him emetics, and in
S, few hours he was on. OF danger, and
Dday he Was on tbe street again.
What determined him to take sucn a
rash step is not known. His friends
are Of course gratifed that the results
were no more serious than what they
were.

| cation of the CRITTENDEN PRESS.
III first issue was five column, pat
ont outside, and it appeared without
creating a single round of applause.
The few people who saw it were kind
enough to predict briei career, a
premature death, and an unlamented
funeral. No one who has not nursed
a country newspaper through the
teething period could appreciate the
early struggles of the Press to ge;
foothold in the county. But some
how the publisher had an abiding faith
in the future of Crittenden county,
and instinctively felt that, by and by,
the people would appreciate a local
newspaper. Fifteen years have come
and gone since then. From a five
column patent outside the paper grew
to a seven column patent, and then to
an eight column all home print. TIE
first few years the subscription list
ranged from 200 to 500; for the last
eight years it has run from 400 to
1900. Like the growth of the county
the growth of the PRESS has been
slow but constant. and to fully appre-
ciate the improvement, it is only nee.
essary to compare this edition with
the first number.
Th editor of the Press was, like
every other native ofthe county, borc
on farm, because at that time there
was no where else to be born in This
county. This occurred Nov. II. 1857.
He lived on the farm, near FOrds
Ferry, until fourteen years old, when
his father moved to Marion. He at
tended the Academy and later began
business for himself as publisher and
editor of the Press.
