Notice of appeal from the decision of
Judge Mcpherson to the United States
Court of Appeals has been fled in the
office Of Il. X. Mason, clerk, in the
bankruptcy case of Minty A. Davidsone
of Garden Grove. This is the first case
in which an appeal will be taken from
Judge McPherson's decision. Sechler
& Company, jobbers in implements and
vehicles, at Moline, Illinois, are the ap.
pellants. They sought to establish
priority of the claims against the
property of Davidson, petitioner in
bankruptcy, on the ground that the
debts to the Tiffin bank, of Garden
Grove, we're contracted by Davidson
while the bank knew that he was in
solvent. The court held that the claims
of the bank were good. .-Des Moines

He supported Eric dS best he could. into Stuart's mind. He was a prisoner with a helpless wounded man at the bottom of a mine 900 feet deep, the en- zine house was on fire or some accident had happened to prevent the lowering of the skip, the pumps had stopped. and the water in the mine was rising rapid. ly. It was half way to his knees now.
 He pulled the lever again anfagain and in his excitement shouted like madman. There was no answer from above. The manhole ladders were still clear. Even as they were, with the broken places, he was strong andtvig- orous and could climb out. But not with the burden of Eric. At that mo- ment charred fragment of wood foat-> ed down the ore shaft and dropped hissing in the water. He realized that he stood in the presence of death. He offered a prayer for help. He supp ported Erie as best he could. The wa ter was now above his knees and rap idly rising.

The charge of non-Support, by Mrs T. Smith against her husband has at tracted quite a number of our citi- zens, and many have been to Winsted, where the trial took place, as witness es. Some of the testimony was quite sensational. Some of the young men took it into their heads q short time ago to go to NIr Smiths and tar and fea afar him, but abandoned the idea when one of their number received q charge of shot. Mrs Smith said that he did not injure her, but compelled her to write d letter, while he held a revolver over her head, saying that if she didn't do as he commanded her he would shoot her. Lawyer O'Neill appeared for MT Smith while Judge Root was counsel for Mrs Smith. It is thought q decision will be rendered some time during the com ing week.

Fries face worked undera pasI2n- ate feeling. Then he said Tine men have right to combine for mutual support. In this instance they feel driven to it by their condition. Why should not labor seek to defend itself as capital does? You-that is, mean the mine owners generally-get togeth CT in a combine and fix wages. Why should not the miners get together and have say about it? We have been working for years at the price set by men at a distance who never saw a mine or a miner, far less went down into the ground to see what. the labor is. These men sit in nice upholstered offices in elegant buildings and make 1t their business to get just as much out of the iron ore as they can. The wages of the men are cut every time ore falls in price. Instead of taking it out of their own large dividends in the years when they have made enormous profits every time there is a depression in the market they cut this end instead of theirs. You know this is the case, Stuart.
 'Three years ago dozen men in the iron industry grew to be millionaires from the profits of this metal which God put in the ground for the common use of man. During that year the min CTS received only fair wages. Since then financial depression and a drop ill the price of ore have followed. What do those men do who have in prosper ouS years made their fortunes? Do they say, We will draw on this re- serve, and in order that the miners may not suffer we will declare smaller dividends and lose something| No; they say at once, Cut down wages, be- cause ore is cheaper. and we cannot af ford to lose.'

How Il Feels to Be hanoed.

A Citizen representative at Santa
Fe yesterday interviewed Jose Glen.
feugos, who alleges that he was
hanged by number of masked men
last Tuesday night. He was accused
OF burglary and he asserts that a mum.
Der OF men, with their faces masked,
took him to a tree near the Denver &
Rio Grande depot in Santa Fe and
hung him up twice to make him con,
fess to the robbery. Jose claims that
he was innocent of the robbery and OF
course could not tell anything about
1t. He says that being hanged is not,
a pleasant sensation. The dread was
really more painful than actually be-
Ing strung up. The first time the mob
strung him up he did not lose con-
sciousness. but the second time he
was choked into insensibility and re.
mained in that condition for more
than an hour. Jose says he knows
who committed the deed and that he
intends to prosecute them to the full
extent OF the law.

| Keystone, w. Va, June 25.-The fol
lowing story is told by an eyewitness

one narrow street and because OF
limited space many houses were built
on piles or walls over the Elkhorn or
close up against the mountains. Fri.
day night at IL o'clock the storm
struck the mountain and for six hours
rain fell in torrents. BY 3 o'clock
a. m. the narrow valley was a raging
torrent. Houses, barns, bridges, mills.
live stock and human beings were
swept away by the mighty current and
dashed on the rocks or trees below.
The loss OF life cannot be estimated.
II Is known that eight lives were lost
at Keystone. All the women were con-
veyed from the hotel to the mountain
side by means OF a life line. Then
the men left as the place was un.
