sixteen years of age, when he was grant
ed Il teachers certificate and taught
school for several years. Later he at
tended the State Normal school for two
years and began the study OF law in the
Office of John Bashiord at Hudson, Wis. ;
being admitted to the bar in 1880. In
the same year he was married to the
daughter OF Rev. ,. S. benedict, pastor
OF the Nj. +. church at Iazel Green,
Wis. and continued the practice OF law
in his native state until 1889, when he
came to Washington and located at
Aberdeen, where he set his stakes and
made his home.
Since coming to this state Mr.. Mason
has been engaged in contracting and
building and during the last few wears
has become quite well known us one of
the attorneys OF this county, having been
admitted to the bar OF this state in 1898,
and is at present a valued member OF
the city council.
Mr. Mason is what is termed Lincoln
republican, and always trained with that
party until it was captured by the money
sharks and corporations, when he joined
the populists, OF which party he has been
an earnest and hard working member.
lie is chairman of the peoples party
central committee an, when selected to
take place on the ticket, made vacant
by the resignation Of U. W. Chalderman,
of Porter, was chairman OF the fusion
campaign committee. The plain people

in sending |. W. Mason to the legis-
lature.

RUDOLPH DI~TLEk.

Fusion candidate for assessor was born
in Germany in 1897. Coming To the
United States quite young he and others
formed Il colony ut Denver, Colorado, in
1883 to locate in Washington. Distler
was chosen leader OF the first contingent
which arrived at Olympia in March, 1883.
Selecting Chehais county rs promising
region for the settler, he located on land
near Cosmopols, where he has ever
since resided and where he conducts a
small but modern dairy.
He organized the famous Settlers
League, which was OF great benefit to the
county and state by forcing the railroad
company to pay taxes on large tracts OF
land held by it, but which had not there
toiore been assessed.
Distler was deputy assessor ior Cos
mopolis and adjacent country for the past
two years and received credit for making
just and equitable assessment fair to
the county and taxpayer alike, and was
complmented by the county auditor up
on his returns, which did not require a
single correction.

d. r. CREECI.

ID. Il. Creech, candidate on the Peoples
Party ticket for reelection to the office of
sheriff, was born in Lucas county, Iowa.
in 1860, and moved with his parents 10
Kansas in 1871, where he resided until
coming to Washington i'll 1890, settling

conducted mercantile business in Strong
City, Kansas, for several years. Since his
arrival IN this county he was associated
with his brothers in the firm Of Creech
Bros, the well known contractors Of
Aberdeen, until elected sheriff two years
ago.
Under the administration OF Mr. Crcech
the sheriff's Office has been honestly and
economically conducted, and his well
known feariessness and impartialty in
the discharge Of the responsible duties OF
his office will, beyond Il doubt, greatly
aid in his reelection by largely in
creased majority. y

Fourth Of July Casualties.

If the glorious Fourth did bring glad
tidings from Cuba, it carried bad It'd
ings into good many homes. Casu-
alti9s at Hutchinson were many and
severe.
One of the worst cases Is that Of Mrs.
Lueck who lives on Eleventh street.
While witnessing the Dire works in the
evening she was struck In the right
arm by the head Of rocket as large
as a giant fire cracker which tore clear
through the muscles of her arm laying
the bone bare. The artery WAS cut,
she bled profusely and the wound was
very badly burned. 1t was thought at
first that the arm would have to be
amputAted but ut last accounts 1t was
doing we'll
Rev. W. II. Manary of Peabody,
who was brought here to deliver an ad-
dress tor the Woodmen, will probably
loose an eye by some e,-he thinks a
small boy, throwing a giant fire
cracker in his face. Doctor Hutchin'
son, who dressed the wound, thinks
here is little show for recovering his
sight though he may not loose the eye
.ball. However II is not all certain hi
will not loose that. His expenses here
will all be betrayed by the Woodmen
The little son Of 9. W. Hills, posta
clerk on the Rock Island, was injured
in the eyes by fire cracker though il
is hoped not very seriously
Mr.. Labrue who lives about eight
miles northwest Of town was cut in
the neck by a rocket, a piece of flesh
about twice or three times the size OF
a silver dollar, being torn up.
Hayden King, son of II. King, ant
about fourteen or fifteen years old
! was very severely burned early in the
Hutchinson gazette. [volume] (Hutchinson, Kan.) 1895-1902, 1898-07-07

day. He had been firing toy cannon
and had package of gun-powder In
his pants pocket Some how spark
exploded II and he was severely burned
over large area about the abdomen,
and clear down one leg, the explosion
naturally following the lines Of the
least resistance.
Sam Dana got his thumb and fore
finger badly burned. The finger was
split open nearly the whole length and
may have to be taken off. 1t was
done by the explosion of big fire
cracker, which he says someone lit as
he was carrying II along the street.
Sweets stock of fire works was dis
posed of in very short space OF time
AS the nambeau club was marching
past, lire got among them In his stand
in front OF his store and the entire
stock went off without consent or d.
rection from any body, 1t created a
Settlement among the by ISLANDERS.
Another victim of the cannon
cracker was Harry Koch, baggageman
at the Rock Island depot. Some one
threw 1t and 1t exploded In bis face,
cutting him near the eye and tearing
his upper lip open 80 as to make an ex-
ceedingly ugly wound. The worst
trouble with these wounds is that the
flesh is not only torn and shredded but
Is burned and cooked.
Ed, Niece, one Of the hambeau club,
was hurt on the knee by cannon
cracker thrown under him by someone
on the side walk.
Another gentleman was hurt in the
eyes by rocket sparks though not very
seriously.
Alex Rea, one Of the Aambeau club,
was badly burnt on the hand while
holding the rocket funnel to prevent
1t from getting loose and falling over
Nearly everyone is complaining bit
terly of the police and city administra-
ton for permitting so much looSeness
and license. 1t is very certain that
many of these accidents could have
been avoided IL there had been closer
police regulations. The use OF these
big fire crackers, is becoming menace
to personal safety on such day and
their use should be strictly guarded by
ordinance. 1t is claimed by the fam
beau club that the hoodoos are re-
sponsible for the tipping over of the
rocket funnel Someone threw a
musk mellon from the side walk strike
ing the man who held 1t with that re-
suit. Bad liquor was doubtless respon
sible for many Of the mlshaps, but
somebody was responsible for the
liquor.

An Act Of Cruelty.

On Friday morning Reg. VanGnndy,
pastor of the Avenue +, NJ, l. church
brought his little son, between eleven
and twelve years OF age, into the sher-
ifs office and wanted him sent 10 the
reform school There WAS nothing
wrong about that, but IL was the way
it was done and the treatment accorded
the boy, that RULED the officers, He
was led to the court house from home
by hitch strap wrapped three times
around the boys throat 80 tight that 1t
choked him. Besides this the officers
say he had been held and pushed
around by hand hold in the back
hair, and that large quantities OF 1t
had been pulled out and had dropped
down over his clothing.
The boy was sent to the reform school
from Larned for running away from
home, but made a good record and got
out last December after a years con-
linement. Mr.. VanGundy says be can
do nothing with the boy, and that
Friday, before he brought him to the
court house, instead Of coming TO
breakfast he had taken the pony, rode
1t off and tried to sell it. He may
be a had boy, but such treatment as
the officers say was accorded him, could
not be justified BY anyone, much less
one who is supposed to instruct the
public in the way it should go, and 1t
may be that with kind treatment the
boy would be all right. On the per
mission of the sheriff the father took
the boy to the reform school Friday
night.
The Topeka Capital says that after
arriving in Topeka Mr.. Van Gundy
dragged tue boy down Kansas avenue
with a rope around his neck and his
hands tied behind him. 1t also ayers
that more of his hair was pulled out.
Rev. Van Gundy has made a good
many friends here and AT other places
where he has been and they do not
know how to interpret such actions.

Disappointed in Wheat.

Talking with several farmers more
particularly from the west side of the
county, we learn that there is consid-
cradle disappointment over the wheat
crop. None is threshed yet and it
may turn out better than expected but
we are told that for some unaccount-
able reason, it did not lill as well as ii
should, and while most of the heads
last year contained three grains to the
mash, this year they rarely contain
more than two.

President Z. l.. Meyer of the First
National Bank, tells that his bank has
taken applications for over $4,000 of
the new United States three per cent
bonds, as they had advertised In the
GAZETTE, The largest bond sold, he
said, was $500 and from that they
ranged down to $1,000 the smallest H.
sueG. The Citizens bank was unable
to tell how many applications they
had taken, but said the largest was
for $3 900 and the smallest $4,000. Mr..
Mackay said that he could not tell how
many had been sold for number had
got the blanks, made them out bought
drafts and sent them off themselves.
At any rate it shows the standing Of
the community and it also shows how
eager the people are for some sort of
place where they can invest their say
ings safely. II the denominations Of
the bonds had been as low as $500 or
5000, more of them would have been
taken and they would have largely
gone into circulation as money. Some
of the smaller denominations may
anyhow. The fear is, however, that
they will after little and eventually
drift into the hands Of the larger
banks and sydicates who will hold
on to them.
