STRANGE CASE.
What Has Happened TO Louis Wells OF
PaIlSinsS

What Has Happened TO Louis Wells of
Perkins.
Yesterday morning Louis D. Wells, a
young farmer who reside es about three
miles from Perkins Station, hitched up
his horse and cart for the purpose of COM
ing into the city to procure some harrow
fixtures.
In the afternoon his mare was found
lying in the ditch near an Italian garden
at twenty eighth and NJ streets. The
animal was unhurt, and the cart cap
sized, but no trace of the driver has been
discovered, although search has been
made throughout the city for him.
Fears are entertained that the young
man has received dangerous injuries and
Is lying in some out-ot-tbe-way place
unable to obtain assistance.

section, 1t was not germane to the matter
and was therefore out OF order.
The Speaker ruled the point of order
TO be well taken.
Bledsoe offered an amendment to Sec
tion 2, reducing the maximum rate from
ten per cent. to eight.
Bettman raised the point of order that
Section had not been read, and called
for its reading, which was ordered, and
he offered an amendment raising the rate
from six per cent. to seven. Lost.
Bledsoe again offered his amendment,
and BeItman offered an amendment to
the amendment, striking out the rate,
which was declared out OF order.
Bledsoe said be would regret to have to
presume that the gentleman had a mort
gage somewhere at two per cent. a month,
and Bettman rose to question of privi-
lege, saying the gentleman had no right
TO presume anything of the sort. He
simply believed that money was worth
what 1t would produce, like any other
commodity.
Bledsoe said he had not said he pre-
sumed so, but that he.would regret to pre-
sumo so.
