A PREACHER ARRESTED.


Someryille, n. j., Sept. 17.-Jacob
johnson, a colored preacher, has been
placed under arrest charged with the
murder of Annie Beekman, whose life
less body was found in the bushes along
the Raritan river Sunday. When the
officers went after johnson he was found
in little shanty which he calls his
home, and where in one of the two
rooms the body of the girl he is accused
of numbering lay in a pine coffin. From
the first the county officials have not be
lieved Johnson story. Several persons
have said that they saw him with the
girl as late as II o'clock on Saturday
night. Sunday morning, at the coroner's
request, johnson swore that the girl, in
company with two white men, left him
on the depot platform at half past l0
O'Clock Coroner Brady and Prosecutor
DUNCAN have investigated further and
learned that James German, employed by
the Central railroad as night switchman
at the Bridge street crossing, saw the
couple together as late as 1890 o'clock
on Sunday morning. All the members
of Johnson's family tell different stories
as to what time he arrived home on
Saturday night. johnson said he got
home at II O'Clock, his wife said at / 1870
and his sister insisted that he had got
there at 10:30 o'clock. Johnson's counsel
claim that at the proper time he will be
able to establish his innocence.

UP YOUR MINDs."

which wasn't any grayer than itself,
lonely as the ocean, sir, and infinitely
more silent Not sound or move
ment, except that of the locomotive
whisking off at full speed.
''In came the cowboys head with
volley of hard swearing, and there
stood Lloyd in the doorway, cooler
than / am this instant, holding n six
shooter.
"'You have just five minutes to make
up your minds" he said, and his voice
was as steady as his eyes. "Will you
pay your fares like honest men or get
out and tramp to the next settlement,
forty miles from here? Our engineer
IS waiting within hail of us, and he
will not come back unless | give him
the order Oh, you may murder me if
you choose! he cried, stepping further
into the car, as half a dozen pistols
were grabbed. But can shoot as
straight as any of you-I don't mean
to die alonc-and at the sound of the
first shot our engineer will be off to
bismarck
''For one long moment the prairie
cited humanity. If Lloyd had even
blinlied Thank Cod, he didn't Then
big follow broke into a laugh, took
his pistols from his belt, and laying
them on a seat walked toward Lloyd,
holding out his empty fists.
'Shaller he said. That was lone
hand And pluclsily you played it!'
From Lloyd's side he faced the lot
of them.
Boys, he cried, "a chap who can
look straight down the muzzles of so
doing his duty, that chap will make
the kind of partner most of us want to
yoke with, ii he will let us, eh?'
Lloyd smiled, slipped his pistol
into his pocket and gave his slim
fingers to the others brawny grasp
well, sir, all crowds are alike,
whether cattle or men-thcy follow
n leader There was cheering pres
emily which astonishcd the waiting
engineer. Then the fares were pail
as fast as Lloyd could take them, And
that is the end of this story"
The ranchman paused, and began
carefully to rclight his pipe, which
had died out
"Where is Lloyd now? In Helena,
state senator from - county" he
answered an eager questioner when
the pipe was again in working order
"Where is the fellow who stood by
him?" he laughed jovially. Neither
he nor his whereabouts point the
moral of this tale But, when Lloyd
runs for governor, as he will next
year, he shall have my vote, for he
runs to win in any race he enters. And
that is my creed of life, boys-'the

1--WE amt going to tell your loss, if
you keep quietr
"Lloyd's shining eyes turned from
one to another of the twenty tall fel-
lows lounging around him, SO sure of
the trumps they held that they were
in no hurry to finish the game.
There is a greed for torn menting
animals which disfigures most human
nature from Spanish bull ba.ters to
those rat-fghters down east. We are
not without touch of it here in Mon
tana. And that the tormented animal
belongs to our own kind adds keener
relish to the fun, when the party do
ing the tormenting has swallowed as
much bad whisky as the cowboys had
that morning. So those bright eyes of
Lloyd's didn't meet any more encour-
agement than did Father Noah's the
first time he took squint at the
food through one of the portfolios of
the ark.
without speaking, he stood, very
pale and still for n moment, looking
at the open pocletbook in his hand,
while they all stared at him, grinning
and jecring. There was a frmness
about his mouth that didn't suggest
unconditional surrender to two or
three who watched him closely and
who were much surprised when sud-
denly the color rushed back over his
face, and, shutting his book with
snap, he went out of the car.
''lIe was followed by roars of laugh
ter and facetious yells
Then the crowd returned to poker
playing, some of them just a bit dis.
contented with their victory and NUT
tering that twenty to one was too big
odds for any chap, specially slim
little chap with fists which couldn't
hold their own against kid"
The story teller interrupted himself
with chuckle.
They counted fists, you see, and
forgot to take stock of brains. How
should they guess that the man they
had put to proof carried more brains
inside his handsome head than fur
nished the twenty Of them, though
they were not fools, either?
"A quarter of an hour later the train
stopped, not gradually, but with jerk
which sent poker chips flying. There
was a cowboy half out of every window
in the car quicker than you could have
cooked pistol, for stations were sell
dom within hundred miles of each
other in those days, and they all knew
that this sop wasn't regular.
behind and before them the track
stretched as far as they could see,

among the big, brown, brawny ro oughs,
who left their card-playing to swarm
into the aisle, or lean over the seats
nearest those of their comrades who
had answered to his request for tick
cts that they had none.
The company will take money for
fares Also said Lloyd, without
glancing at the gathering crowd.
When the company can get it, ;
somebody chuckled.
Invariably Lloyd asserted, or
the passenger who refuses to pay it is
put off the train

Lloyd listened to these expressions
of general determination until they
came to an end. Then he was consid-
orably paler, but his eyes had grown
uncommonly bright.

REV. DIR. WAKEFIELD DEAD.
Probably tho Oldest Mason and
Preacher in tho World

Pittsburg, Sept. lathe Rev. Dr.
Samuel Wakefield, the veteran Metho-
dist minister, died yesterday at West
Newton. DR.. Wakefield was said to be
the oldest Mason and the oldest pastor
of the Methodist Episcopal church, and
possibly the oldest of any denomination
in the world. He had been a member
of the Masonic fraternity for seventy
five years His career as Methodist
minister is part of the history of western
Pennsylvania. He preached occasion
ally in latter years and had fairly good
health until recently, when he was broken
somewhat by the death of his wife. His
grandmother, Mary Wade, was a
preacher, having been ordained in the
ministry by John Calvert. He was or
dained in 1917, and published several
books on theology and music when he
was comparatively young which made
him widely known. His principal theo-
logical work, "Wakefeld's Theology"
has become a classic.

CAPT. SUMNER SUSPENDED.
Retired for Six Months for Care
lessIY Docking the Colu m bia.

Washington, Sept 14.-The navy de-
partment has made public its action in
the case of Capt. George w. Sumner,
lately in command of the United States
cruiser Columbia, who was tried recently
by court martial at the Brooklyn navy
yard on the charges growing out of the
injuries sustained by his vessel in dock
ing at Southampton in July last. The
first charge was culpable inetficiency in
the performance of duty. The court
found him guilty in a less degree than
charged, in that he did not fully perform
his duty in having the proper prepara-
tions made for the docking and seeing
that supporting blocks were in proper
condition for receiving and sustaining
her weight The court ignored that por-
tion of the charge alleging that as IA con-
sequence of that failure the boat was
subjected to severe strains, causing dam
age to her hull, and necessitating re-
pairs costing about $1,000.
Guilty of Two Charges.
r The captain was found guilty of the
second charge, of suffering II vessel of
the navy to be hazarded in violation
of navy regulations He was found
guilty of the third charge, neglect of
duty, and the specification under that
charge was proved, namely, that he paid
the charge of docking without protest.
The sentence of the court is as follows:
"To be suspended from duty only for n
period of six months on waiting orders
pay, and to be reprimanded by the hon
orable secretary of the navy" The ac-
tion of the department has been stated
to Capt. Sumner, with copy of the pro-
ceedings, findings and sentence of the
court. He is informed that the publica-
tion of this general order is regarded as
sufficient compliance with that portion
of the sentence calling for reprimand
by the secretary of the navy.
