"Our paper is two days late
this week." writes a Nebraska
editor, lowing to an accident to
our press. When we started to
run the edition on Wednesday
night, as usual, one of the guy
ropes gave away, allowing . the
forward gilderfiuke to fall and
break as it struck the hunker-
Hopper. This, of course, as any
one who knows anything about a
press will readily understand,
left the gang-plank with only the
fiip-fap to support it, which also
dropped and broke off the wapper-
choke. This loosened the fluking
between the ramrod and the
fibber-snatcher which also caused
trouble. The report that the
trouble was caused by over-in-
diligence in Intoxicating stimu-
lants by ourself is q tissue OF
falschoods, the peeled appearance
of our right eye being caused by

HE is BETRAYED BY HIS RELATIVES
Captured by a Posse, He Is Hanged to q
Tree and His Dangling Body Is
Riddied by IL Fusilade
of Bullets.

Columbia, S. c., Jan. 9.-Simon Coop
er, who killed four persons in the vicin-
ity of Sumter Thursday, betrayed by
his half-brother and uncle, was located
in his uncle's house, five miles from
Sumter early Friday morning and the
building surrounded by a posse of 20
men under Sheriff Pierson, of Sumter.
Cooper kept the men at safe distance
with Winchester rifle; none dared. to
rush on what seemed certain death.
The sheriff telegraphed the conditions
to the governor and asked that cannon
with solid shot and supply of long
range rifles be sent to him on q special
train. Gov. Evans replied that no cam
non was available, and ordered Cooper's
capture dead or alive. Baked in this,
the sheriff got cannon in Sumter. but
while it was being conveyed to the seat
of war Cooper was killed.
1t seems that under protection of an
other house some members of the posse
got within short distance of where
Cooper was and kept up hot fire. He
hailed them and offered to talk. One
of their members told him it would be
pSSo W SANS hlAsCll UP, Uue NC UldS-
phemed the suggestion. He was told
that if he came out unarmed with hands
up he would not be killed. Finally
Cooper came out. One member of the
posse, keeping him covered, walked up
and took hold of him. The others then
surrounded the negro, who began to re-
sist. Then he was shot in the head
with a pistol and afterwards with rifle.
He fell, but rcgained consciousness and
kept up his cursing. It was suggested
to burn him, but the half dead man was
started for Sumter On the road the
posse, which had assumed the proper
tons of mob, tied the officers of the
law, hauled Cooper out of the cart in
which he was and strung him up to a
tree, riddling him with bullets. A cor
oner's inquest, held on the spot, result
ed in a verdict that the killing had been
done by persons unknown to the jury.
Cooper's body was carted through the
streets of Sumter and viewed by large
crowd. The negroes seemed joyous
over the killing of Cooper, who was
dreaded by them. The desperado's last
wish was that he might have chance
to kill the brother who betrayed him.

Charges Werc True.
London, Jan. 9. - The Old Bailey
courtroom was crowded Friday morn
ing when Lady Selma Scott John
Cockerton and William Aylott, who
Thursday pleaded guilty of having
crimipally libeled Earl Russell, Lady
SCOTS son-in. law, were brought up for
sentence. Lady Scott entered the court.
room accompanied by her daughter
Countess Russell. When the prisoners
were called to the bar for sentence, Mr.
John Lawson Walton, NJ. P, solicitor
for Lady Scott, addressed the court in
behalf of his client saying that her
!adyship pledged herself not to repub-
fish any of the libels she had uttered
against Earl Russell. Solicitor Hall
speaking of Cockerton and Aylott, said
that his clients did not withdraw q
single word they had said or any state.
ment that they had made concerning
Earl Russell, having told nothing but
the truth about him.
The judge then pronounced sentence
upon the prisoners, condemning each Of
them to eight months Imprisonment
without hard labor. Lady Scott, on
account of her delicate health, will be
treated as a frst-class misdemeanant
but Cockerton and Aylott will be treat
I'd as ordinary prisoners.
AS Lady Scott was leaving the pris-
cner's deck after the Judge had sen.
fenced her she turned and said:. "Every
word uttered against my daughters

1t is reported to us by those who
profess to knaw that there are thirty
five government licenses to traffic in
intoxicating liquors issued to persons
in Cresco. These licenses cost $25. 90
each, the round sum of 1915. There
are but four drug stores in town which
have government license to handle
liquors under the pharmacy law, thus
if there are thirty-five licences issued
we have thirty-one intending law
breakers, who pay 1915 for the privi-
lege.
The so-called prohibitionists amuse
themselves and hope to delude the
public with the idea that we have
prohibitory law upon our statute
books. Such is not the fact. Ali that
has thus far been done in the name of
prohibition is an attempt to
regulate the traffic by placing it in
the hands of the drug stores. This
means has been found impracticable,
yet all the drunkenness that exists in
our community is charged to those
who have property to the value of
thousands OF dollars invested in their
business and any infraction of the law
would involve its loss, through fines
and penalties. The writer and editor
of the PLAIN DEALER is a practical
and personal prohibitionist and has
been during the more than 20 years OF
his life, and as such would infinitely
prefer to see the people who are
habitual users of strong drink inbib-
ing light wines or beer than the in
famous stuff sold and peddled by the
throng of bootleggers which infest
over the state. A decent law regula-
ting the sale of liquors under proper
restrictions would drive the bootleg
gers out of their nefarious business,
and instead of being tax
upon the public would at least pay the
expense it causes the state. This
making people pious, virtuous, moral
and good by law, has never been q
success in any age or cline, and prob
ably never will be. And when people
resort to these methods of reform
they trust the law to do what should
be done by example, persuasion and
the force of education. The young
should be instructed upon the effects
of the use of intoxicants upon life and
health; they should also have il
strongly impressed upon them that no
man Of incorporate habits car
hope or expect honorable employment
in the stores, shops or offices to which
every ambitious boy aspires. In othel
words, make it business principle
to be temperate in habits and practice

Mr.. Holt Nichols, a former resident
of this county, now of Willow City,
N. d., is home for visit of few
days, coming primarily in the interest
of migration to that section Of the
country. He is well and favorably
known to our people and will not mis-
represent N. d., in what he may say
to them of soil, climate. markets and
the opportunities it offers. Howard
county contains a large number of
tenants who can profit themselves im-
mensly by going to North Dakota
where homesteads await them upon
lands of unsurpassed fertility, with
railroads and markets already es-
tablished. Paying the price of a farm
for rent, the entire product being in
adequate therefor, ought to tell them
it is time to go elsewhere.
The Agricultural society reelected
all the old officers for the present
year and voted to pay one half the
& premiums awarded at the last fair.
These officers are G. D. Nichols, pres
ident; B. p. Norton, treasurer, and
&C. Webster, secretary. This was
commendable and for the best interest
of the society. They have done the
society good service at small pay,
and should have been returned il
willing to serve. The decision to pay
half of the premiums at the last fair,
considering the old debts against the
society in consequence of the cyclone
the year previous, and the rain du-
ring the fair. is extremely liberal
and the probabilities are that the Off
GERS of the society must borrow por-
ton Of the money required even to do
this.

Fatal Accident.

William Henry Thayer fell from a
load of hay at his farm in Howard
Center and was instantly killed, Sat-
urday morning. He was engaged
in unloading y;using hay-tork the
trip rope breaking, he seems to have
lost his balance and fell upon the
frozen ground with sufficient violence
to cause instant death. John Miller,
who was in the barn at work, seeing
but one forkfull of hay discharged,
came around to see what was the
trouble, finding Mr.. Thayer as stated
above. The deceased was native
of Illinois, born in 1S42, and with his
parents became one of the earliest
settlers of Howard county, locating
at Howard Center as early as 1856.
He was united in marriage with
Maggie Richards in 1868, who with
two children remain to mourn their
irreparable loss. The eldest, Lille
E., is the wife of Herbert E. Morgan,
and resides adjoining Cresco, where
Mrs. Thayer was when the sad news
came. The younger child. is son in
lis teens. Mr.. Thayer was frugal,
industrious, honest man, without an
enemy in the world. He had by his
industry accumulated hand
some property, two miles from
Bonair. With the family and friends
thus suddenly bereft of husband,
father, brother, in common with the
entire people of the county do, we
deplore their sorrowful affection
The funeral will be from the family
residence to-day.

FOUGHT IN THE DARK.
Desperate Encounter at a Christening
One Man Dead.


. One Man Dead.
Scranton, Pa, Jan. "a Hungarian
christening at Mayfeld, this county,
Thursday had the usual bloody ending
which attends these festivals, for as the
result of the fight with knives one man
is dead, two are dying and five others
are badly carved. Strong liquor flowed
freely. at the christening. and soon
many of the men were mad with drink.
Seven of the participants in the feast
went to the house of Lucetz Krutchas.
Krutchas soon had to resent an insult
to his wife, and then the kniyes.fiashed
out. Mrs. Krutchas dashed out the
light and fled from the room. A fear
full fight followed in the dark. The
drink-maddened men cut and stabbed
each other and rolled together upon the
floor in deadly grapple. Finally con-
stable and posse broke into the house,
and when light was had CHASTITY
picture was presented.
The furniture was battered and
broken and blood was everywhere, and
stretched on the floor were eight APP
parentiy dead and dying men, groaning
and cursing. A physician was hastily
summoned. Krutchas was SO terribly
cut that he died in short while. The
injuries of the other men show the
savage nature of the fight. Peter Guzy
was cut over the heart, left hand sew
cred at the wrist, will die; Wazyl Zubal,
stabbed in the back, lung pierced and
chunk of flesh cut from shoulder, will
probably die; John Turpakone, ear cut
off and numerous slashes on shoulder
and back; Paul Pawlak, face and arms
slashed; John Nester face, head and
breast badly cut; Michael Oleaniz,
stabbed in the face and back; Andrew
Telep, stabs and nose broken. These
men are under guard in the hospital
and an investigation of the affair is
being held.
