WOULDN'T
HEAR 1T.
Judge Owen Declines the Motion
for a Madamus.
Mr.. 0reathouse Will Put JoIIy's
Name Under The Log Cabin.

The motion of W. T. Fowler, Of Hop
kinsville, against N s. Greathouse, coun-
ty clerk Of Hancock county, for writ Of
mandamus to compel him to place the
name OF w. T. Fowler on the official
, allot under the log cabin as the Repub-
lican nominee for Congress in this dis
trict, came no for hearing at Greensboro.
Friday morning, shortly before ten
o'clock, before Judge Owen. Mr.. Fowler
was present, with his attorneys, Captain
Ellis, and Eugene O. Vance, Of Halves.
vile. Mr.. Vance arose and told the
court that he desired to make motion,
and thereupon read the notice served
upon n. s Greathouse, stating that he
would move the court for writ of man
damus. After Mr.. Vance had finished
reading the notice he stated to the court
that he desired to make motion, and
read the petition to the court. Judge
Owen then said, al have no doubt Of
the authority given this court under the
section OF the statute. as cited in the no.
tice to grant any appropriate temporary
order of this kind Recently suit was
instituted in this court by Mr.. Geo. w.
Jolly g,inst Fowler and others asking
for restraining order, and for reasons
affecting Mr. Jolly and myself, and other
reasons amply sufficient to myself de-
clined then and refused to hear the mo-
ton The motion was heard before.
Judge Dorsey, at Henderson, and after
wards heard before one of the judges OF
the court OF appeals, the result of which
is known to everyone. The matters at
issue in this notice affect Mr.. Jolly, and
he is personally interested, although he
is not defendant in this action. The
reasons that l assigned for not hearing
the restraining order, still continue in
my mind, and with all due respect to the
attorneys and litigants, l most earnestly
and respectfully decline and refuse to
hear any motion in this matter, and
without making any suggestion as to any
other mode of procedure"
Capt Ellis asked Judge Owen to put
in writing his reasons for refusing to hear
the case. Judge Morrison, one Of the
attorneys for Greathouse, desiring to re-
lieve the court Of as many burdens as
possible, objected, because he said there
was no authority and he was not COM
PEELED to do 80 under the law.
Capt. Ellis was seen after the matter
had been determined. He said he could
not say what would be done, but added
that the reporter might say that what
ever happened the name Of W. 7 Fowler
would be on the ballot in Hancock coun-
ty, and that it would lie under the log
cabin In closing his remarks he said
significantly, "For further particulars see
E. @, Vance & Co., on the day Of the
day of the election"

green background, and are very distinct.
There is some talk Of growing the melons
for educational purposes. They eau be
used to great advantage in the primary
schools, as farmers children would pre-
fer to learn their lessons in the "a, b, c's'
from a pie melon rather than from g

The people OF Pellville have long been
opposed to the American Book Trust
and they will not rest content until thew
will be able to produce melons that will
supplant all text books used in the
schools, from First Reader to the Latin
Grammar.
This may be fairy story, but it comes
from Pellville, where all things are prob
able.

MIRACULOUS
ESCAPE.
Miss Bessie HambletOn Falls
Into a Well.
Her Cries For Assistance Brought No
Replies.
After a Terrible Effort She Succeeds In
Climbing Out Of Thlrty-Foot
Hole.
A THRILLING EXPERIENCE.

On last Wednesday evening Miss
Bessie Hambleton met with an accident,
that, but for her presence Of mind, and
an almost miraculous combination Of
circumstances, would have caused her
death in most shocking manner.
About four o'clock in the evening, she
went to the rear Of the Presbyterian
church, OF which she is member, to
put some things in order
She was ignorant of the fact that there
was an abandoned we'll back of the
church. and, as sue stepped on the de-
cayed planks that had been placed over
, the top Of the we'll as cover, they gave
way, and she fell into the well. The
fact that there was about seven feet OF
water in the hole saved her from break
ing her limbs.
AS she was falling the thought came
into her mind that the air in the well
was poisonous, and she RETAINED from
breathing. This undoubtedly gave her
body buoyancy and prevented her from
sinking in the water.
When she fell she had presence of
mind enough TO grasp some protruding
stones in the wall, and she held onto
these while she called for assistance.
After calling at the top OF her voice for
quite a while, and receiving no replies,
she determined to climb out. This she
accomplished after long and difficult
struggle.
Unlike most girls, when she reached
the top she did not faint or go into hys-
terics. She Immediately went to the
home OF her aunt, Mrs. d. r. Murray,
where she obtained change OF raiment
and then returned to her home at the
Fisher place.
The we'll was fully thirty feet in depth
and it seems miraculous that she escaped
alive. aI..l
Miss Bessie has established the factthat
abe has the GOODNESS, presence Of mind,
and the self reliance that characteriEes
heroines

DISASTROUS FIRE,

Many Of readers will be sorry to
learn Of the misfortune that has be-
fallen the Roderick Lean Manufactur-
ing Company, of Mansfield, Ohio. On
Sunday morning, Oct. 17Ch, their large
warehouse was entirely destroyed by
fire, entailing q very serious loss. This
firm will be remembered by u read
ers IS the manufacturers Of the Cele-
brated Lean AlLsteel HarroWs, and at
the time Of the fire the warehouse was
completely filed with finished harrows
and parts OF harrows ready to be as
sembled. Much of this stock was al
ready packed for shipment and the
fire could not have occurred at a more
inopportune time.
The Lean people are no whit dis
couraged, however, for while their
buildings were still burning they were
making arrangements to rebuild and
to place themselves in position to take
care Of their increasing orders and Che
whole seasons trade. In addition to
the burning Of the warehouse, the fac
tory suffered to a considerable extent,
and they now have a large force of
men at work rebuilding and enIarging
the same. With the increased room
which this will give them, they will
add to their working force and ma
chinery so that those of our readers
who have placed their orders for Lean
harrows will not be disappointed; all
will receive their harrows in time for
spring use.
The Lean people assure US that their
loss on material is complete, and that
they shall have to buy new steel
throughout for the building Of this
seasons supply Of harrows. Our read.
ers need have no hesitancy in placing
their orders, as everything viii be in
readiness to supply the demand long
before the time for using harroWs has
arrived.
