blue necktie, although he hadn't been wearing a neclztie since the war. The following Sunday at church he stood in the yestry after services and eyed all the unmarried women above 20 years of age.
 The Widow Ferguson, who was q plump and youthful creature of AS, saw the blue necktie and smiled. Then Grandpa Elliott knew that she had sent the valentine.
 Next day he hired two-seated sleigh and took the Widow Ferguson out for ride. When he came after her she was sosurprised she could hardly speak, but she was sensible woman and she knew that Grandpa Elliott owned two sec tions of land, so she went sleighing with him and then invited him to come to her house for tea. Grandpa Elliott discovered that she was a better cook than his ughter-in-law and, besides, his relatives had begun to treat him as though he were an insumbrance around the house, so he came to the conclusion that it would be a good idea to marry again and have home of his own. The widow had confessed in the valentine that she loved him to distraction and that her heart would break if he did not reciprocate, and of course he didn't want to infict any pain on an estim- able lady. Accordingly he proposed

marriage and the widow, who wisely argued that $10O0oo didn't grow on every bush, accepted him with great promptness.
 When the news of the engagement be gan to circulate around town the rela- tives were panic-stricken. The young people went to Grandpa Elliott and ex- plained to him that it was joke, and that they, and not the widow, had sent the valentine to him. He remarked that it was shame to trife with the feelings of an old man in that fashion and it simply proved that he'd better get g. place of his own where he wouldn't be the butt of ridicule Ae-

cordingly he married the widow, who took such good care of him that when he died, year later, he left all of his property to her while his children and grandchildren who had been waiting all their lives for chance to divide up the estate and buy things that they wanted and go to Europe, were com pelled to get out and go to work.

 They seclected a large pink one with red and yellow plumes all over it, fat Cupids hanging in the corners and a picture of heart pierced by an arrow, with drops of blood falling from it. The lines read as follows:

NEGRO BRUTE
IN JAIL HERE.
Will Ables Who Assaulted Mrs,
EdgertOn Brought Down
From Baxley.
STORY OF HIS TERRIBLE CRIME.
More Serious Than First Reported and
Horrible in Detail Judge Bennet 10
Hold Extra Session to try Him,

Mrs. Vicey Edgerton, Of Appling,
county confessed to Solicitor John w.
Bennett, yesterday that Will Ables,
the negro who assaulted her Monday,
full account of which appeared 10
yesterdays issue of The Times. ac-
complished his purpose and when this
information was conveyed to the sheriff
he knew that Appling's jail could not
protect his prisoner another night.
After quick action the negro was
placed on board the southbound
Southern train and brought to Brnns-
wick, arriving here on No. l6 yester-
day afternoon. He is now confined 10
Glynn county jail and was seen there
within few minutes after his arrival
by Times reporter, When looked in
the corridor next to the cage where
the negro lay he arose lszlly from his
dirty couch in response to The Times
reporters calls and ia answer to
questions denied any knowledge Of
the crime with which he is charge d
Tie claims to have been plowing at
the time the assault was mAde and
says his father and mother will be his
witnesses to prove the truth of his
story.
shortly afterwards The Times re-
porter visited Judge Bennet's office
and was present at the conference be
tween Judge Bennet. Court stenog
rapher Gale, Sheriff Cosby and Cap
tain G, M. T. Overstreet, of Apphng,
who OAme down with the prisoner.
Judge Bennet heard the reports Of
these officers and assured them that
he would be in BAxley on Thursday
next to call the court in special ses
sion to try the case Papers have gone
forward to the deputy sheriff to sum
mon jurors and prepare the court for
trial and several lawyers have been
written to arrange for the negro in
accordance with the law governing
cases OF such character. The re-
moyal of the negro to Brunswick has
brought out the story in all its sick
ening details and the recital Of the
facts by Sheriff Cosby are terrible, 1t
seems that the lady concealed the
knowledge Of the facts Of his having
accomplished his purpose at first but
the horror Of the crime was auch a
burden on her mind that she.6nally
decided to tell all aud let the full
measure Of the law be metea out to
the criminal When he was brought
before her for final naturalization her
feelings burst their bounds and she
cried to his captors for gun With
which to kill the brute who had SO
outraged her. The negro was well
known to Mrs. Edgerton and when be
applied for breakfast Monday morn
ing, she gave him good meal at her
kitchen table. She was preparing
dinner at the time and held in her
hand q large knife. When he had
finished his meal the negro walked
over to her side and demanded the
knife. She refused and then a life
and death struggle ensued between
the woman who sought to protect her

Kootenai County Republican. (Rathdrum, Idaho) 1899-1903, 1899-10-20

On the government timber reserve
question. 81 far as ii relates to koOte-
nal county and this state, the Re-
publican stands sqllarely for the set
tiers rights and most liberal modifi-
cation Of the arbitrary system inaugu-
rated by his royal nibs Of calamity
fame, Grover Cleveland. 1t is most
unjust to Idaho to have a single sec
ton OF land suitable for agricultural
purposes closed against the settler.
Government timber reserves are all
right, but they should he confined
strictly to what are at present cOnsid-
cred inaccessible localities and where
the land when cleared Is known To he
valueless for agricultural purposes
and Of this character there Is great
sufliciency OF territory in Idaho Any
other system for the establishment of
permanent government timber re-
serves Is manifestly unjust and should
be streno,sly protested against by the
people OF our young commonwealth.
This is not political question and
any attempt on the part Of pot house
politicians to make 1t such Is an insult
To the manhood and womanhood of
idaho and should be most emphatical-
ly resented.
