Rev. t. j. Snodgrass stopped at Cash

friends, and while there gave the an
nual address at the Odd Fellows an
niyersary, Of which the Cashton Rec
ord has this to say:
"The annual address was given by
Rev. Il. j. Snodgrass, and every Odd
Fellow who knew him In the past
years knew there was a great treat In
store, and every one who did not know
him found it a pleasure to listen to
him. He talked less than an hour
but it was all meat and while he kept
the audience In a happy spirit by his
humor, yet he represented the true
principles of the order and gave all
something to carry home with them
and think about"

Following is the program of the de-
clamatory contest in the nj. u. church

said about this SO that our people al
ready understand what il is. and the
advantage or having a good home
representation in the audience. The

Falls, Eau Claire, Hudson, Rice Lake
and River Falls, and as they are the
PICK of their respective leagues. a
splendid contest is assured. A special

1t is sincerely to be hoped that all
of our people will take especial pains
to show the guests from abroad at the
contest tomorrow night the utmost
politeness and consideration. Such
treatment is their due and our duty
10 give with most cordial generosity.
The people of Hudson treated us with
the greatest courtesy at the league
contest, received us with hearty
greeting, reserved for us ample cppor-
tunity for seats in the body of their
hall, invited us to generous banquet
and gave us throughout every consid-
GRAFTON we could desire. There is no
fear that our people will fail to give
TO these honored guests the most lib
eral hospitality. The only apprehen-
sion is that the boys in excess Of zeal
may forget to observe the courtesies
due TO these guests, and SO an appeal
is made TO them not To act thought
lessly but with deliberate intention
to show especial honor TO their guests.

thought they had something to say

When the dust cleared away after the
last inning River Falls was one score
to the good. 1t was very good game
and showed that we have team that
can do some good work. They have
now won two games and they give
fair promise of winning several more

Runaway Traction Engine.

ROCHESTER,, Ind, Dec. IL
Joshua Bunch, a ell-known
farmer and thresherman, lost
his life last Saturday in pecul-
lar manner. He was using his
thrasher engine in shredding
corn, and went out in the ad-
vance of his men at the noon
hour to tighten the drive belt.
When the other men came they
found Mr.. Bunch on the ground,
crushed to death, having been
run over by the traction engine,
which was zigzagging around in
an adjoining field, running back
ward. 1t is thought that he at
tempted to tighten the belt by
running the engine backward
and that he lost control, and IN
passing through a wire fence he
was dragged off underneath the
ponderous weight. Mr.. Bunch
was fifty years old and a we'll.
known citizen.

SwindlinS Under Game Laws.

WINAMAC, Ind, Dec. 11-Con-
fidence men have discovered a
way to use the Indiana game
law to fleece unwary farmers.
James Mortimer, a farmer of
this vicinity, was the victim of
two men who represented them
selves to be Chicago bankers.
They were well posted on the
state'game law, and they request
ed him to grant them written
permit to hunt on his farm. They
wrote out a permit for three
days of sport for S., which they
paid, and one day last week this
permit turned up at one of the
banks as promissory note tor
$500, which had been sold to an
innocent purchaser. Ten other
farmers near North Judson, Ind,
have been swindled in the same
way.

Governor Van SAINT may call a

governors to assemble in Mon
tana, for consideration of the so
called merger of the Northern

lington railways. No official an
nouncement has been made to
this effect, but the governor is
so much pleased with the replies

ernors to whom he addressed let.

lieved that this course will be
pursued. Attorney General
Douglass has about finished the
preparation OF his case against

old trunk lines, as well as by
new companies, who want our
traffic. The fruit crop, of which
little is said, is one of the best.
The jobbers are now using our
peaches to compete with the best
California brands. The prospect
of the next wheat crop is very
promising, and thousands of
cattle are being wintered on the
wheat lands. The opening of
the Kiowa and Comanche coun-
try has given great impetus to
the development of these rich
lands, and oil and gas have al
ready been discovered.
Il shall advocate that all future
lands shall be opened to settle
ment in the same manner as were
the last lands opened. Under
the present management by the
interior department, the settlers
are guaranteed freedom from
blackmail and contest, while the
counties are guaranteed freedom
from Indebtedness by the sale of
lots in the county seat towns,
and the proceeds used for i'm
provements.
Just think of three county
seats containing 800 acres in
what was a wilderness on the
9th of August last, bringing
within twenty days thereafter
about $3.50. 900 from the sale of
lots, the money to be expended
for improvements in the counties
in which they are located. And
we still have several Indian
reservations of several million
acres of public lands, which can
be entered in 160-acre tracts
under the homestead law.
"Our people have the greatest
personal admiration for Presi-
dentRoosevelt, as they think he is

making Oklahoma state we will
love him all the more"

PASTOR MURDERED
Justice of the Peace in Alabama Fires
Fatal Shot.

BROOKSIDE, Ala, Dec. 9-The
Rev. Bradford, Methodist minis
ter at this place, was shot by R.
D. Coffman, justice of the peace,
Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock,
and died two hours later. Coff-
man was standing in Bradford's
doorway and fired two shots,
both taking effect in the head.
There were no witnesses to the
tragedy.
The Rev. Mr.. Bradford had re-
turned here as the Methodist
minister for another year.
While at Sundays school this
morning the Rev. Mr.. Bradford
called attention to this fact, and
remarked that he hoped all the
relations between himself and
his congregation would be pleas
ant, adding, it is alleged, that
their relations would be pleasant
if they coulo sscr sc,, such men as
Coffman from lying about him
and the church. Coffman was
once a member of the Rev. Brad
ford's church, but had been ex-
PEELED on some charge, and for
this reason there had been some
bitter feeling between him and
Bradford.
Coffman Immediately after the
shooting surrendered to Deputy
Sheriff Armstrong. A warrant
has been sworn out before JUS
tice j. T. Sellers, charging Coff-
man with murder.

LAFAYETTE, Ind, Dec. st.
B. Walters, representing the N.
D. Dodge & Bliss Shoe Manufac-
turing company, of Newbury-
port, Mass, and whose home is
in Toledo, was killed at 8 o'clock
Sunday morning by falling from
a third floor window of the Lahr
House to the cement sidewalk on
the Fifth-street side. No one
saw him fall, but the dead body
was found a moment afterward,
with the neck and both legs
broken. He was about forty
eight years old, was well known
to shoe merchants here and had
been making regular visits to
the city for nearly fifteen years.
There is no way of accounting
for the death. In the room, next
the window, was sample table
four feet wide, and It was neceS-
sary to cross this b,tore he could
fall. Friends with whom he
spent the evening until 10 o'clock
say he was not drinking and that
they can imagine no cause for
suicide.

II BOLD hTTEMPT FIT RESCUE
Berry, Howard Indicted for GOebe Murder Taken to Frankfort After
Year in Hiding Brave TrdNmen Foil MOuntdIneers.

Langan told the man who remain
ed and still covered him that it
would take all three men to COM
pei the conductor to back the
train, as he and the brakeman
were both armed. The last man
left the engine and started for
the rear of the train.
Engineer Langan was looking
for his chance, and the moment
the third man had swung clear
of the engine and started to the
rear he opened his throttle wide
and started his heavy train as
rapidly as possible, and without
waiting for the conductors sig
nal to go ahead.
Meantime a highly exciting
scene was taking place on the
station platform. AS Sheriff
Broughton and his deputies at
tempted to step aboard with the
prisoner he waved back the
crowd and declared he would
take his prisoner to Frankfort,
if he lived. His bold defiance of
the desperate men enabled him
to get Howard aboard the train,
and then the crowd surrounded
Doody and commanded him to
back the train to Middlesboro.
He answered that he could not,
on account of a freight train
closely following. The noun
taineers said to him. as they had
said to Engineer Langan.
"Damn the passengers, back
her up"
No" thundered Doody.
"You may kill me if you wish,
but shall never back this train, %
and he swung his lantern, clear
! of the train as a signal to go
ahead. The train had already
started.
He was brought here yester-
day morning and lodged in Jail
by Sheriff Broughton and. a
guard of ten men.
Howard protests that he is
innocent of the charge, and says
he would have surrendered when
the indictment was returned in
the spring term in 1900, but that
he did not want to lie in Jail. 1t
is not believed that he will ask
for an examining trial, and his
case Will be called at the January
term, together with the case OF
Jim Howard.

FRANKFORT, KY, Dec. g.
Friends of Berry Howard. the
noted mountain feud leader,
made an attempt to rescue How
ard Saturday night as he was be-
ing taken to Frankfort to ans
wer an Indictment charging him
with complicity in the murder of
VIM. Gobel, and for which he
had been arrested by Sheriff
Broughton and his deputy, who
got the drop on Howard and his
body guard, who had been lured
to Pineville. AS soon as How
ard had been arrested Saturday
afternoon his friends, who had
protected him for nearly two
years, swore that he should never
be taken to Frankfort and a
guard of twenty-five armed men
was maintained over the prisoner
while here and ten men accom-
panied Sheriff Broughton and
the prisoner to Frankfort.
When the train reached Pine
vile Sheriff Broughton and his
posse boarded the train with the
prisoner end were given one OF
the coaches, which was locked
at both ends. At the same time
three men, friends of Howard,
boarded the engine. They cover
ed Engineer John Langan with
pistols and commanded him to
back the train to Middlesboro,
the intention being to rescue How
ard where his friends are great
est and where the mountains af-
forded quick escape.
Engineer Langan with q pistol
pressed against his heart, main
tanned his composure. He de-
cIared it was impossible for him
to back the train as a freight
train was closely following and
a collision with great loss of life
to passengers would inevitably
result.
Damn the passengers and the
freight trainr' said one of the
men. ''Back this train to Mid
dlesboro.
Engineer Langan parleyed
with the men. He told them he
did not have charge OF the train,
and would only back the train if
given a signal to do so by the
conductor. Thereupon, two of
the men got off the engine to
compel Conductor Doody to order
the train backed Engineer
