Ell Reno, Okla, Dec: 13.-
When the grand jury made its re-
port yesterday its finding did not
suit Judge Tarsney by long way, ,
as many things to which he had
called its attention had been over
looked. He did not say a word
however, but directed the clerk to
discharge the jurors, and in al
most the same breath ordered him
to summon a new grand jury.
The judge has determined to have
some things about this town regu-
lated if it requires the empaneling
of half dozen grand juries

Victim of sensational Circumstances.

w. H. Vance dropped dead in a
saloon in Paris Monday. Vance
was known all over the United
States about seven years ago in
connection with mob's execution
by burning of the negro, Henry
Smith, for the raping and muI der
ing of 3-year-old Myrtle Vance.
The torture of Smith was of the
most cruel character. He was
chained alive to a stake, and bon
fire was then built around him.
Iron rods were heated to a white
heat and then Vance was made to
thrust them into various parts of
of his body, burning out his eyes,
tongue and other organs. Smith
confessed to the crime charged
against him, his victim being
Vance's daughter.
Vance has been mentally affected
ever since, and has periodically
suffered with nervous excitement.
He was in this condition today
when he dropped dead.

1t is sometimes an easy matter to fool
the public, but you MT keep it up very
long. They are sure to find you out at

another skeptic is made. Skepticism is
allowable when reading in a home news
paper about some incident occurring in
San Francisco or Iowa, but the circum-
stances are entirely different when it re-

the back OF Doan's Kidney Pills-home
statements by home people, and the
astonishing local work they have been
doing has caused more talk among our
citizens than the doings of any other

hanged him to a tree by the roadside,
where he was found Monday morning
by farmers going into town. On his
body was pinned piece Of paper, upon
which was scrawled: "Justice to

Last Saturday night a number of
cowboys came into Tecumseh and got
drunk. AS they were leaving town they
passed Dave Fitch. tough negro char
acter The cowboys commenced shoot
ing at him and he returned their fire.
All of them then opened upon him and
perforated his body With bullets. No
attempt was made by Judge Prouty to
prosecute the murderers and the negroes
sent a note of warning threatening to
lynch him unless he took immediate
action in the case. Judge Prouty still
refused to act. The whites came to his
rescue and told him to stand firm and
they would brighten the negroes out Of
the country

lutely without foundation in fact, and

WENT OUT IN GLOOM.
The Life of One of the Most Brilliant Jur-
lists of the Age.

Ann Arbor, Mich, Sept. 13.-Three
months ago Michigan's distinguished
jurist, Thomas NJ. Cooley, was brought
to his home here from a sanitarium;
early yesterday he died. Mental weak
ness had afflicted the venerable judge
for some time, and ne was fully aware
Of that weakness and frequently ex-
pressed his desire for death. At the
time of his death he had been uncon-
seriousness comatose - for several
weeks, and during that whole time ut
tered but one ineligible sentence, being
an inquiry for his eldest son. At no
time with the past six weeks would his
death have come as a surprise
Thomas McIntyre Cooley, who stood
for years among the foremost members
of the American bench and bar, was
born at Utica, N. Y, Jan. 6, 1924. He
came of a family which settled in Con-
necticut in 1910, but his father was a
Massachusetts, farmer, who moved to
New York state in 1904. The son was
given an academic education and was
teaching before he was 10 years old.
Like many of the young men of the day
he used the school as a step to the
study Of the law, which he pursued
first at Palmyra and later at Adrian,
Mich. He was admitted to practice in
January, 1916. At the beginning he
gave no promise of the great future
that was in store for him.

The Filipinos objected and nearly pre-
cipitated hostilities. ordering the Amer

They issued ammunition and inter-

Finally General Hale ordered all the
Pennsylvanians to advance and the

this correspondent that the Filipino who
made the trouble merely pretended TO
be an officer and is entirely unconnected
with the insurgent army.
But That's Another Story.
The whole interview conveyed the i'm

of the Americans here as accomplished,
and expects their withdrawal, lust as
the French with Lafayette withdrew

of independence, a war Of humanity"
