A REMARKABLE MAN.
Blind From Birth, He Doesn't Seer
to Need Eyes.

Blind From Birth, He Doesn't Seen
to Need Eyes. u
John Wslther, who lives within two
miles Of Clinton, Ind, has been blind
from birth. Until he reached manhood
John lived on the farm with his father,
and IL was not uncommon to see him driv.
Ing to the city with load Of corn, wheat
or other farm produce. A piece of ground
was given to him, and each year he would
plant and cultivate big garden, which he
would market In Clinton and place the
proceeds to his credit In the bank. He
would buy horses, cattle and hogs. Even
when boy he was regarded as a good
trader.
1t Is now common occurrence for John
to stop in the middle Of the road and trade
horses with some Jockey, and 1t Ia said
that be 10 never worstsd He will 70 to

goes to tho woods and with apparently as
little difficulty as man blessed with two
good eyes selecA his favorits horse from
perhaps dozen Rrazing In the pasture.
He has each season for years made hand
In the harvest field, and the farmers re-
gard him as one Of the fastest and most
relisbls wheat 'shockers" In the neigh
borhood. 1t was three years ago during
harvest that the blind mans brother be-
came entangled In the machinery Of q har-
vester and suffered broken arm. As
soon as the accident occurred John started
on run from the field to the barn and
began hitching team to spring wagon.
He worked rapidly, and when the men
bore the injured man to the house the
blind boy had the team hitched up, driven
out in tho road and ready to start with his
brother to doctor in this CITY He drove
almost at breakneok speed, made tho turns
OF the streets after reaching the city and
brought his horses to a standstill In front
of a doctors Office After assisting the
wounded brother up the stairway into the
office he drew out his watch, slid his index
finger quickly around the dial and with a
sigh remarked: Just half past 10. Twas
only IL minutes driving to town."
There Is no work on the farm that the
blind man cannot do, and during idle
times be builds and repairs fences. He
can lay the worn" for q rail fence as
we'll as any man, and prides himself on
the rapid manner in which he gets along
with the work. He built plank fence
along the gravel road in front Of the Wal
ther house. The line Is perfectly straight,
while the workmanship on the fence and
gates Is not excelled by many men who
can see and who profess to DO carpenters.

At Fort Sheridan cavalry regiment

disabled in any way being recommended
for pension. At sitting Of the exam
lining board q trooper presented himself
who claimed to have become totally deaf.
If he could prove this, it would entitle
him to a neat stipend for the rest OF his
days. The officers asked him various ques-
tions about his deafness, but he apparent
ly failed to hear any of them. They tried
to surprise him into making some remark
which would show that he was shamming,
but they could do nothing Of the kind.

Asssilents Of . white Man ~
Meridian. Miss. Nov. 1s.--Rsports
have reached here that three negroes
were lynched Saturday night about
four miles west OF Meridian. Newton
county farmers are said to be ON the
trail OF others implicated In An as
sault on white man. The young man
came to Meridian on Friday from thu
vicinity Of Chunkey, Newton county.
for the purpose Of selling cotton and
purchasing supplies. After disposing
Of his produce and buying what he
needed he left for home and camped
near Oakatubee river, about four miles
west Of the city. About the time he
was breaking camp Saturday negro
picked a quarrel with him. The New
ton county farmer hitched up his team
and started towards home. doing his
best to avoid the trouble, but the negro
was bent OH row. and was shortly
Joined by four others. They chased the
white man across Oakatubee river,
firing repeated shots. one Of which
lodged In the young mans arm, pro-
ducing a painful wound. After cross
ing the river the blacks gave up the
chase.
The white man went to his home and
notified his friends and neighbors. Sat.
urday night dozen or more white
men boarded the eastbound Alabama
and Vicksburg train at Chunkey and
got of at Lost Gap, six miles west of
Meridian. with the avowed purpose of
killing the negroes implicated In the
assault.
The young man who was assaulted
recognized the blacks, and the white
men started at once to hunt them
down. Sheriff Reed and posse returned
last night from the scene of the trouble,
bringing with them three negro pris-
oners. Early in the day q frightened
negro reported to the sheriff that q
mob Of white people were shooting into
negro houses and threatening to kill
every negro in the community. He
said they fired over q hundred shots
into the house Of the ringleader of Sat-
urday's trouble. The sheriff organized
posse and started for the scene, but
on arrival could find no trace Of tbs
white men or any negro corpses. How
ever, the three negroes concerned in
Saturdays outrage had disappeared"
and 1t is said the Newton county mob
had taken them In charge. The negroes
arrested were relatives of the rioters,
and the sheriff took them into safe
keeping until the trouble subsidies.
