The Old Settlers.

The old settlers meeting held at the
auditorium last Thursday was the larg-
est and most successful In the history
of the organization. People came FROM
all over the country to renew old &C
quaintances and make new ones.
They laughed and talked over old
times and made the day enjoyable In
spite Of the terrible heat.
The house was called to order by A,
NJ, Switzer, and Rev. u, NJ Moore, our
oldest minister settler, offered prayer.
The minutes of the last meeting were
read and the treasurer reported cash
balance Of ninety cents. The consti-
tuition was amended so AS to admit to
membership anyone having resided In
Kansas eighteen years and in Reno
county Ave years. II, Whiteside was
elected historian and the report
on neurology was read by Rev. Moore.
After q pi mic dinner, OF the truly
picD sort, the afternoon WAS occupied
In story telling by the old settlers The
only Trouble In making this success
was the difficulty Of the speakers to
make themselves heard. A number

A bad Row.

A preliminary hearing was given
Monday at the court house to the case
of u man named Hodge, Of Medford
township, charged with assault with
intent to kill. The assault was made
on the morning Of the oath Of July
upon a man named Burgess, but 1t
seems the particulars Of the affair
never reached the reporters. No tes-
timony was offered by the defense.
But as shown by the State, the facts
were about as follows: Hodge had
rented a farm and suhrented the house
and a truck patch to Burgess and his
wife with whom he was to board.
Burgess had some small pigs which
were allowed to run at large. Hodge
had some large ones which he turned
loose roofing up Burgess garden and
eating Mrs Burgess chickens. Bur
CESS ran them in pen and nailed a
board up at the opening where they
wen: in The morning of the fracas
Hodge went out and tore the board
off Burgess came up and they had
some words about it, BURGESS threaten
ing to use the law on him IL he didn't
KEEP the hogs shut up. Thereupon
Hodge became frantic and drew q razor
Burgess ran for piece Of board near
by, but while STOPPING to pick it mp,
Hodge, who had put away the raz or
commenced beating him over the head
with neckyoEe he had picked up.
The first blow knocked him to his
knees. The second struck him across
the arms. Then Mrs. Burgess came
up crying, you are killing him, you
are killing him. he Is almost dead
now" Several m ore blows we're given
and she interposDd herself between
the man with the neckyoke and her
husband. He struck her across the
chest and one arm with the n0ckyOke
and knocked her down across her hus-
band on the ground. Then the two
got up and Hodge followed them to
the house. Burgess claims he did not
know anything after the second blow,
though his wife says he tried to hit
Hodge with the board. Their evidence
is coroborated to q certain extent by
a man who was sleeping in the house
and had not got up but who could hear
her crying "dOnt kill him." etc., but
could not see them.

tween the new cup defender Columbia
and the old one. Defender, sailed today
over triangular courss of 80 miles. 10
miles TO q leg, IL has been plainly demon
strnted that no matter how skilfully con-
structed a yacht may be. her sailing and
ability TO 20 to windward may be killed
BY imperfectly setting sails. The Colum-
bia won the race by margin OF three
minutes. seconds (unofficial time. !
There isno doubt she would have won
by larger margin II her sails had fitted
rs we'll as the Defenders.
In the windward work, while the wind
was strong, Columbia was unable. eth.
or to outfoot or outpo.ns the Defender
chiefly on account of the bad set OF her
club topsail, jib topsail and forestaysall.
She covered the first leg Of ten miles to
windward three minutes faster than the
Defender, but one minute of that gain
was made when the wind became light
and less than two miles from the turning
point.
On the second leg Columbia gained 81
seconds. 1t was o rsach, both yachts car
rying large (not balloon) jib topsails. On
the last leg, close hauled work In light
breeze, Columbia lost five seconds to the
Defender, probably by reason OF shift
OF wind which favored the Defender.

spa tch Wednesday night from Calves

My informant shows appalling con-
ditions from flood, with continued rise
and spread of waters until probably 25,-
600 square miles are under water south
OF Calvert. Relief should be immediate
and l fear on a more extensive scale
than private subscriptions, no matter
how generous ly provided. Under the cir
cumstances deem it expedisnt to make
the situation know to the secretary of war
and ask that relief boats now in Gal
vest on be permitted to ascend the river
and ct the points inaccessible to use their
launches and yawl boats and at the same
time arrange for the distribution OF 10. 600
rations. If you concur, l have the honor
to suggest that you wire the secretary
of war accordingly. i await your action
