They are telling good joke on
one of our young bloods who had
his best girl out driving down the
Cove the other day. One arm en-
circling the maiden's waist not
being entirely sufficient to satisfy
the eXuberance of his youthful
heart, he placed the other, and
with his hands locked was nearly
squeezing the life out of his fair
companion, when, "Mornin" fell
on his ears, and heglanced around
only to see a farmer sitting on the
fence, who had politely greeted
him with the time of day. An
noyed by the untimely Interrupt
tion, he squeaked, "Rubber! Rub
ber!" But the old man on the
fence quietly replied, Grub 'er
yourself. you durn fool, you are
the one that's got hold of her."

A Direct Suggestion.

While the unloaded pistol goes
on staying it's thousands and the
ever loaded oil can it's ten of thous-
ands, there is something else that
appears equally as innocent and
unassuming that claims victims
every year and causes much finan-
cial loss and exquisite suffering
among men and animals. The in
strument of death and suffering
referred to is the upturned rusty
nail so common around the aver
age farm and in the backyards of
country stores. 1t may seem a
very small and simple act to stop
and break off or turn down nail,
but that small and simple service
may be the means of saving life,
or preventing the most acute suf-
fering the human body can en-
dure. Farm and Home.

Leg Broken.

Our old teacher friend John A.
Myers of Knobsville, with his son
Roy, was working in the lumber
camp of Kalbach and Spangler
last Saturday forenoon. They
were crosscutting a log, and when
nearly off, it began to pinch
Driving IN the usual wedge to re-
lieve the saw, the log suddenly
came loose, and as the tree was
lying across some lin bs, the log
fell forward striking Mr.. Myers
and breaking one of his legs be-
low the knee. John has been
somewhat unfortunate in that
way. One day several years ago,
when younger than he is now,
there was circus in McConnells
burg. With anumber of the boys
of his age, he became enthusiastic
over the acrobatic performances,
and after the show had gone, the
boys were having a performance
of. their own. John was among
the most successful in the lot, but

An exchange warns the resi-
dents of the rural districts to be
on the lookout for the men who
are operating a new graft. The
scheme is to call on farmers at
their home and offer for sale a
new method for making butter,
with a county agency attached.
When once their names have been
secured to bind the contract, the
experience is more expensive
than to buy a carload of steam
pumps or lot of lightning rods.
Farmers in the northern part Of
the state were bled for thousands
of dollars by this scheme.

There is much carelessness on
the part of a few assessors in
making up the list of school chill
dren. They are required to write
the name of each child in full, but
in many cases only initials are
used, hence it is not possible from
the list to tell whether j. Peck
means John Peck, or Jane, Josh
ua, Julia, Job, Jemima, or Jede-
kiah. Hence we would hardly be
willing to swear to the correct
ness of the classification by sex.

Death OF Glenn Stndebaker.

Farmers and teamsters through.
out the United States and many
in foreign countries knew the
name of Glenn Studebaker, who
died at his home in South Bend,
Indiana, recently;for mostof them

Enoch Hart Dead.

Enoch Hart, one OF this cOun-
ty's most highly respected citi-
zens, died at his home at Need
more last Friday, December 6,
1901, aged 72 years, 2 months,
and 4 days.
About two months ago, he had
light attack of typhoid fever,
which aggravated other compli-
cations that brought about his
death.
Funeral took place on Sunday,
services conducted by Elders
Calvin l.. Funk and Thomas Pal
mer. A large number of friends
assembled at his residence at 9
O'Clock when, after short SER
vice, the remains were taken to
the Tonoloway Baptist church,
where a sermon was preached,
and the body laid to rest in the
graveyard at that place.
The deceased was a son of Will
lam Hart who, with his brother
Nathaniel, owned a large tract of
land lying adjacent to Needmore.
Another brother, Jacob, settled on
the farm now owned by j. w.
Truxel, near the Baptist church
in Thompson township. The
Fulton county Harts are English
stock and came to this county
from Long Island, long before
the Revolutionary War.
April 4, 1858, Enoch Hart was
married to Miss Catherine Flick,
who, now, is the last surviving
member of the Flick family of
this county.
Soon after his marriage, he and
his wife and the late John 7.
Bailey and wife, who was Polly,
a sister of Mrs. Hart, concluded
to try their fortunes in what was
then called the West. Each
couple with a one-horse wagon,
loaded with such baggage as they
could take, made an overland trip
covering twenty-one days, and
settled near Hartford City, Indi-
ana.
That section which is now the
heart of Indiana's gas and oil
belt, dotted with rich manufac,
turing cities, and covered with
most productive farms, was then
a malarial swamp, and few per.
sons going there could withstand
the attacks of ague and fever.
AT the end Of less than three
years, Mrs. Bahoy died, the
rest of the original quartet of
pioneers had ague, and they were
all glad to return to Fulton coun-
ty. Enoch Hart purchased the
old homestead, and on it spent
the remainder of his days.
A man of sterling integrity, he
was frequently entrusted with
the management Of local public
affairs, serving in nearly all the
township Offices, was elected cor
oner of the county in 1869, and
served as county commissioner
with George w. Kesselring and
Thomas r. Palmer during the
years '76, N and rs.
Mr.. Hart was aconsistent mem
Der of the Primitive Baptist
church, and during his last hours
gave evidence of that peace and
resignation that belong only to
those who have implicit trust in
their Redeemer.
He is survived by his wife,
one son-W. f. Hart, and one
daughter - Mrs. Emmanue ell
Sharp, both of Needmore; also,
by brother-Abner, of Okloho-
ma, and sister-Mrs. Ahimaaz
Runyan, of Needmore.

friend of the Fulton County News,
we make note of the follwing.
Hon. d. H. Patterson who was
on the sick list last week, is able
to ambulate the streets once
more.
The following is conversation
which took place between Mr..
Jones "a farmer) and Prof. Loyal,
who had charge of certain coun-
try school:
Good morning, Mr.. Jones. "
"Mornin', Prof"
"Well, Mr.. Jones, how does
this cold snap strike you?"
"All over, sir;all over, sir. Say,
Professor, how do you like your
SCHOOL,"
"Very well, sir. What do you
think about it?"
"O-I--think you are getting
along all right, but / think you
give those big girls little too
much rope"
"Why do you think so, Mr..
Jones? They have no more priv
vilege than the rest of my pupils. "
"O-no-I reckon not but you
know big girls like them, ought
to be held in little"
81 disagree with you sir! |
claim those girls ought to have all
the opportunity to develop their
muscles that is possible for them
to have. Remember, kind sir,
that they sit in this house day
after day. They are good work
ers, they obey me in eve ry partic-
ular, they follow carefully every
rule in the whole category, and if
they were to stay in here during
school hours, and then remain
during play time it would certain
ly be detrimental to their physi-
cal condition. No, I'd rather see
them out playing ball with all
their might-yes, rather, Mr..
Jones, see them walk the top of
that fence, or play leapfrog, than
to see them sit in this house
and dry up in the chape of old
maids. Ah, my friend this is not,
as you suppose, an evidence that
they are not modest young ladies
but positive proof that they are
sound minded, common sensed
people. Every pupil should take
plenty of physical exercise"

A WOMAN ATTEMPTS SUICIDE
After Receiving Beating From a Man
She Swallows Carbolic Acid
She Will Recover.

Katie Lafontise, of No. 10 Little Ter
race, was so badly beaten by male
caller last night, that she tried to de-
part this world of trouble by the car
bolc acid route. She accuses Dick Null
Inns, who was fined for assaulting Will
lam Clark in the NJ. & NJ. saloon yes
terday, of causing her injuries. The po-
licemen patroling the district where Null
Inns is generally seen have orders to
arrest him on sight.
The woman saws that when Mullins
entered her place of abode he accused
her of being the cause Of his arrest. She
denied the accusation and Mullins, she
says, locking the doors so that she could
not escape, gave her merciless beating.
When she would try to get to the door
he would knock her down, she says.
In a fit Of desperation she poured the
carbolc acid into glass of beer and
swallowed it. In her excitement she
spilled a quantity of the acid on her
body and limbs. sizing to her pain.
Soon afterward her tormentor de-
parted and her cries brought women
to her assistance. They gave her guam
titles of black coffee and tried In vain
to find a doctor. The girl is now be-
yond danger, however. Her left eye
is black and swollen and her lips are
cut as a result of the blows she received.
She says her whole frame is sore frO'I

The Butte inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1901-1912, 1901-05-03

Shadville, a young woman portege OF
his, he may have intended that sh .
should reap the reward promised her
from his estate. But a cold-hearted
court in it's decision yesterday, decided
that the paper was not will and that
the estate had no right to pay the pos
thumous bequest.
The will, or note, on which the con-
test was made, was as follows:
January II, 1S99-In case of my
death 1 promise to pay Ida May Shad-
Vile the sum of ten thousand dollars
and authorize my heirs to see that the
same is paid. Signed,
EDWIN j. BARKER
The court holds that the paper even
though it seems to have been issued by
the deceased Baker, does not show value
received, or is not in. the proper form to
be probated. 1t is the first case of the
kind ever brought up in the state, and
has attracted considerable attention.
Ex-Governor r. 3. Smith was counsel
for the plaintiff.
