The Fire Alarm.

Last Monday night the fire
alarm was again sounded, calling
out the fire department. Seeing no
reflection upon the sky, the Leople
soon returned to their disturbed
slumbers.
The next morning our people
were much surprised to learn that
there had been two efforts made to
start q blaze. One was At the resi-
dence Of Mr.. Henry Crews and the
other was in the Fontelieu block on
Main street. Fortunately both
were discovered ID time.

A Terrible
Death.
Crushed Beneath Car Wheels.
Left Home Hale and
Hearty in the Early Morn
ing. A Little
Later the Mangled Remains
Were Returned.

The people of this place were
shocked on last Thursday morning
at learning of the terrible death
which overlook the venerable
Mr.. Felecian AucOin At an early
hour in the morning his mangled
remains were discovered upon the
Southern Pacific Railroad track,
near the corner Of Washington
and COrinne streets He had been
run over by train.
There is very little that could be
learned of the affair; there seems
to have been no witnesses to the
tragedy.
Mr.. AucOin left his home early
in the morning at a few minutes
before 5 o'clock and evidently pro
ceeded at once towards the
Blanchet & Roy lumber yards. He
must have attempted to cross the
tracks ahead Of a train, possibly
in the uncertain light stumbled
and fell, and before he could re-
gain his feet the train was upon
him. The wheels passed over his
upper chest, severing his head
from his body. His remains were
discovered shortly after the acci-
dent and were taken to his home.
1t was a terrible shock to the
family, they having had no
warning.
Mr.. Aucoin came to this section
many years ago from the La
fourche country, and made his
home here. He was a contractor
and builder and was widely
known. He was an active and
energetic man and showed but lit
tie waning of his powers, notwith-
standing the weight Of many years
upon his shoulders.
The sympathies of this commu-
nifty go forth to the family in their

Nelson Hayes Shot.
The Fugitive Returned to
Meet Death.

Last Sunday morning Nelson
Hayes was shot and killed by
Link Boutte in a personal en-
counter in the back of town loon
of Viators. Both parties are
cOlOred.
It seems that Hayes, who had a
generally bad reputation, was
arrested some time ago by the
police and was brought up before
the Mayor for violation Of town
ordinances. He was sentenced to
work upon the streets. Before
completing his sentence he made
his escape and became a fugetive.
Recently he petitioned through
friends and relatives permission tC
return, promising to be "good.'
The paroellial authorities, who
were petitioned, announced that
they had no objections to hii
returning /; accordingly he returned
on the early morning train las
Sunday. He repaired at once t.
the saloon, as above mentioned
and there became involved in {
difficulty with Link Boutte. HI
attempted to draw his revolver
but Boutte was quicker. Tht
bullet entered the jaw, a little Il
one side of the chin, infiicting
mortal wound in the neck.
The wounded man died before b,
reached home-within two hour
Of his return to this place.
Boutte surrendered to tin
authorities, and at this writing i
incarcerated in Jail awaiting
preliminary hearing.

There were three names presented to

Rorick, DR.. o. S. Wood, of Pomeroy,
and DR.. McDougal, of Athens, were be-
fore the board. In the afternoon the
trustees called on the governor in a
body and on their return to the Neil

many ballots were taken or how the
vote stood, none Of the members would
say. Dr. Rorick was appointed to the
position under the administration of
Governor Bushnell.
While the steward of the institution
is not appointed for specified term,
but holds Office during the pleasure of
the board, resolution was adopted
unanimously complimenting Frank c.

Ex-Governor Taylor at Ma
CARA.

Philadelphia, Pa, June 25.-Broken
in health and spirits, Ex-Governor
William S. Taylor, of Kentucky,
started for Niagara Falls tonight. He
was accompanied by Mrs. Taylor and
four detectives followed close at their
heels. Two of the officers represented
the state of Kentucky and bear war
rants for the arrest of Mr.. Taylor up
on charges growing out of the assas-
sination of Governor Goebel The
other two are employed by Mr.. Taylor
to- guard his person.
His stay in this city was devoid of
personal pleasure. He accepted but
one invitation and denied himself to
everybody who called upon him at the
hotel, where he made his headquarters
He came here to attend the Repub-
lican national convention as a dele
gate-at-large only after having been
assured that no requisition calling fol-
his enforced return to Kentucky would
be honored.
The strain is telling on both Cover
nor and Mrs. Taylor. All the time they
were in the city their rooms were
closely guarded and Mrs. Taylor per-
sonally answered every rap on the
door. She denied herself to all call
ers and was on the verge of collapse
several times.
1t is understood that Mr.. Taylor
will not be surrendered to the Ken
lucky authorities by Governor Roose-
welt, and that he will be immune from
arrest until he shall return to Indiana
where he is now making his home, ol
until such time as he shall return t.
Kentucky of his own volition.

Garry Hermann, Charles Chrlsty
Norman Keenan, and Billy Bodemer
They have been enjoying the tour and

Cox will really have little to do and
little prominence on the national com
mittee. The position is largely hon
orary at most. Four years from now
he will call to order the next Ohio del
egation to the national convention.
and will have large quota OF con-
yentiOn tickets.
Governor Bushnell did not attend

came on here in time to join many OF
his old Ohio friends at the Waldorf
He had talks with Kurtz and Cox
and Charles Gerrish and Jerry Bliss,
OF Columbus, who are here to confer
with Kurtz before he sails for Europe
on Thursday. Kurtz is tranquil and
remarks that when he returns he will
do all he can for the election of Nc
Klnley and Roosevelt. Kurtz has not
given up hopes OF again figuring ex-
tensively in Ohio affairs. He had no
meeting with Hanna at Philadelphia
They will probably never be friends,
but Kurtz and Dick were ON friendly
terms during the convention.
