LIN A QUANDARY.
1t Was No Wonder That the Man was
Anxious for Some Good
Advice.

/ was sitting in the shade in front of
the Big Mountain Lumber company's
store one morning in June when / saw
a man and woman riding heavy
farm horse coming down the mountain
road, where it almost hung over the
Cumberland river. The woman rode
behind the man, and their feet swung
loose at the sport of the wind, for the
horse was saddleless. i spoke as they
passed on to the hitching rack, and as
they came back to go into the store
recognized the man as foxy specimen
of mountaineer who had done some
logging for me the year before. A few
minutes after he had gone into the
store with the woman, who was of the
stalwart type, he came out alone and
approached me with an evident pur-
pose.
81 reckon y'ain't forgot me, have you,
colonel?" he said, taking a seat on a
log.
'Oh. no." I replied, assuringly, but
I didn't recognize you when you rode
up. / didn't know you We're married y

"Well. colonel, what mostly need is

"Anybody can give you that. have
it in any quantity. How much and
what kind do you want?"
He came over closer and hunched
down on the ground by my side, where
he could talk confdentially to me, and
at the same time keep his eye on the
store door.
''You see, colonel" he went on in a
voice scarcely above whisper. I'm on
my way to git coupled right this min

The day was cold-very cold, in fact

the stove in his easy chaig before he had
read half the postcards, says Pear

aside of the reed curtain that served

hat stood before him, calmly majestic.

JULIA BARTON DEAD.
Was Cousin to Clara Barton
of Red Cross Fame and
an Aged Oxford Lady.

Oxford, July 14.-Mrs. Julia A. NJ.
Barton died suddenly of heart trouble
this morning, aged sc years, 5 months,
q days. Mrs. Barton was the widow of
Capt. David Barton and was the sis
ter-in-law and also a cousin of Miss
Clara Barton, the Red Cross heroine.
Since the death of her husband, she
has made her home with her daughter.
Mrs. John II. Stafford. She had been
in failing health for some time, but
had seemed rather better for the last
day or two. This morning, Mrs. STAFF
ford took breakfast to her and then
left her for a few moments to attend
to some work. When she returned she
found her mother lying dead on the
floor.
She had evidently fallen dead while
trying to cross the room. Mrs. Barton
leaves four children: Mrs. Chas. M =.
Clark of Webster, Mass, Ida Riccius
of Worcester, Mrs. John H. Stafford
of this town and stephen E. Barton,
who is associated with his aunt, Miss
Clara Barton, in the work of the Red
Cross society Mrs. Barton was res
ident of this town for many years and
leaves a large circle of relatives and
friends to mourn her loss.
The school committee, who inspected
the school houses yesterday, found
them in good condition.

snake near his store this afternoon.

Some small boys were having a nice
time last night bothering Coon Wing,

arrival of officer H B. Gates on the
scene, put a stop to the fun, how

out motive, apparently. This wagon is
buiit like market wagon. 1t is closed
behind, and boot shelters the interior
from view, at the front.
Richters traffic has not been con =
hned to Clinton, evidently. His trade in
TINS and other towns has been supplied,
the police believe, from this wagon
Beneath the shelter it affords he has
taken beer from the railroad station
TO be stored after the unique fashion
ne has adopted. Richter came here
from Northboro. He is said to locate
IN the neighborhood of large public
works, and make a business of supply
ing the laborers. He is a shrewd feI-
low, but if the police are right, his IT,
tie game conducted on large scale is
ended in this town. Richter's method
or doing business differs in another re-
spect from the methods of his class. He
puys his beer direct from the brewers
at bottom figures. Most of the dealers
BUY of local wholesalers. .In-this way
they are likely to find a friend when
1t gets to question of bail. There is
probably no dealer in Clinton that will
be enough a friend to Richter to take
MIN out of durance. Richter's wife, a
not unpleasant looking woman, has
been trying all the afternoon to secure
a bond for him. He is about As years
old and she about the same age Tween
ty kegs of beer billed to Richter are

"Scrappy' Joyce figures that he is
on top of the heap. When he was
brought before Associate Justice Jon
athan D. Smith, this morning, to be
heard on the charge of assaulting his
father, the old gentleman, Patrick, ac-
knowledged satisfaction, and that let
"Scrappy" out. He might have gone
scot free if the court had not raked
up case on file, and given him $40
on that. Some months ago "Scrappy''
was arrested for disturbing the pes, ,e.
He was allowed to leave the court
room on probation. The assault upon
his father was committed within the
probation period. This time Scrappy
was not able to raise $40 and he has
gone over for 20 days. He expected
at least four months. That is why he
20 days find him in an enviable frame
of mind.
James Munroe of Beacon street was
reprieved for a month, after pleading
guilty to not supporting his wife. If
he takes care of her as he should he
will doubtless be discharged when the
month is up. Munroe told the court
that drink was the whole of the trou-
BILE.
Everybody here takes an interest in
the meeting of the national democratic
committee, which will take place at
Chicago next week. The committee Will
decide if the seat of John w. Corcoran
on the committee is forfeited. Judge
Corcorans friends here expect that the
committee will take just that action.
Judge Corcoran was not Bryan mar
in the last campaign, but a gold man
He said when the state convention
passed resolutions declaring him nc
longer a member of the national COM
mittee, that it was all the same to
him.
