Wildwood, a small place ii miles north
of here, last night, and in the melee
that followed, Mrs. Rose Hudson, wife
of the bartender, was instantly killed,
her head being completely blown off.
William Webb, one OF the raiders, was
shot in the arm, and two or three 9TH
ers were slightly hurt. One hundred
shots were fired. The town is in a
fever of excitement, and further trou.
BILE is expected.
The saloon was run by Mrs. Michael
Lochner. She had been warned to
close the place by Monday, but refused.
At 10 O'Clock last night 20 men, all
armed and wearing handkerchiefs for
masks, approached the saloon. Two of
the number entered and ordered drinks.
Bartender. Hudson had scarcely set the
glasses on the bar when the men gave
the signal. Immediately the door was
burst open and the masked men rushed
into the place. Half dozen shotguns
were raised to the ceiling and fired,
apparently to warn the saloon keeper
that they meant business, while two
men approached Hudson with leveled
guns. Hudson grabbed the barrels of
both guns for All instant and then fell
to the floor. The guns were discharged

During the shooting william Webb,
one OF the raiders, was accidentally

more shots were fired, but the mob,
alarmed at the killing OF Mrs. Hudson,
quickly left the place without stopping
to destroy the liquors and fixtures.
Anticipating the attack, Hudson had
gathered about him 10 armed men.
They. however, taken by surprise, were
stampeded, and this fact and the kill.

Kicking i:Orse =.

Many years ago we We're run away

older person would not trust us to har-

so close that he hit his heels. Some
horses would have kicked the sleigh to
pieces, but we were able to guide him
for two or three miles without any
greater damage than bruising the
horses legs n little. Since then we
have seen a colt that would allow the
whifietree to hit his heels without any
protest excepting to come down to a
walk and step carefully, while another
horse we owned would stop so short as
to almost throw us over the dasher
whenever strap gave way. 1t was all
matter of early training. and while
every one should see before starting out
that the harness is In good condition,
those who raise the colts can easily
