city, but who made Columbus his home
for several years created scene at the
United Brethren church during the
funeral services of his wife. Amos has
not lived with his wife for some time

mise until the hour for the funeral was
almost at hand, and he was twenty
five miles away. This did not deter
him but only added fuel to his desire
to outwit his enemies. Hastily hitch
ing UP his horse he came to this city as
fast as it could bring him. and spread ter
ror as he passed down Court street and
into Main with his horse at a full gal

the minister was bringing his discourse

kiss Mary once more His wild ap-
pearance and violent gestures Sc
wrought upon the minds of the ccngre-
cation that almost panic was created
and it required considerable persuasion

men would be mounted on horseback?
It Is a very pertinent inquiry. for 1t
requires from three to six months
training to make a cavalryman, and

contingents to the national guard have
not a single troop Of horses. II there
