prised CT many republicans, democrats and
popullsts listened to Ex-Governor Altged OF
Illinois. A curiecity to the man was
the chief reason for the large attendance.
When Ex-Governor Holcamb spoke here
therc we're leso than seventy-fve people to
hear him. Atgeld devoted about five m!u-
utcs to the silver question and sang the
same old tune that with 16 to l farmers
would get s1.25 for their wheat As his
audience was not in sympathy with the
speaker he dropped the silver question and
for half an hour spoke on the tariff ques-
tion, asserting that high tariff did not pre-
vent the crash in 1898, but he was careful
not to reveal what did cause the panic. He
called attention to the high price OF nails,
barbed wire, etc., that the farmers were
obliged to pay and suggested free trade to
lower prices on goods which the farmers
bought and free silver to raise the prices
of the products which they had to sell. The
speaker dwelt at length on the Philippine
question and vigorously attacked the ad-
minlstration and denounced President Nc
Kinley.

1897 when, by habeas corpus proceef fings
Charles Mupdt was removed from Britts

This all came about through Mundt losing

which left him entirely at the mercy CT those
who got him.
A short time after Mundt was brought to
Hastings he died and then there was mere
trouble over the estate The trouble wac
taken into the courts and was finally de-
cded against Britt who had spent his ready
money and had mortgaged his farm to figat
the case
On March 2S, 1894, Britt received through
the mail n letter containing MANILA card
with hangman's moose tied on one end.
He was advised to leave his farm. This
seemed more than Britt could stand, as he
had committed no crime, so he decided to
stay. On the night of April 1, 1894 a
woman drove. to Michael Britt's house at
midnight and advised Mrs. Britt to leave at
once, for should they continue to live on
their homestead there would be another

Britt turned over to them what little money
he had and went to Spear Fish. s. D.,
where he labOred for small wages.
But he was soon called back to Doniphan
on account of sickness in the family.
1t was but short time until Britt was
without dollar and more trouble in store,
for his wife had brought suit for a di-
vorce.
Two weeks age Michael Britt wandered
back to his old homestead on the banks OF
the Little Blue and there he stood with
tears coursing down his bronzed cheeks.
Here he lived silently and alone and
every evening as the sun sank from sight
Michael Britt could be seen standing with
