The question has just re-
solved itself to this to every
voter; On an equal proposition,
which town is best for the
county seat Paw Paw or South
Haven?
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1901-03-29

One little matter connected with the
county seat removal proposition that has
probably been thought of but little by
the voters, is the awkwardness of a
judicial circuit in which court was held
at two places so remote from each other
as Cassopolis and South Haven. 1t is
bad enough with the two county seats at
Cassopolis and Paw Paw, but at South
Haven!

Ferguson and Horn he had been struck
by a bullet intended for some one else.
William Ferguson, one Of the men VINO
did the shooting, took the stand and iden-
titled Wallace Jameson, a fireman of en-
gine No. 29, one of the mob While he
and Horn were going to their work they
saw another fireman go to the door of the
and Eleventh streets and call to some one
inside:
wait minute, want to see the fur" !"
Ferguson testified that he saw Jameson
leave the engine-house and mingle with
the mob just before the advance was
made upon the witness. When the crowd
began to cross the street for the purpose
of attacking the witness and his compan-
ion several stones were thrown and Fer
guSon ordered the men to stand back and
drew his revolver. One of the mob made
tinuing to advance menacingly, the wit
ness fired one shot in the air. This not
having the desired effect he shot into the
crowd
Horn corroborated the testimony Of his
companion.
Detective Sergeant ]. T. Dinan produced
the transcript of a statement made to him
by Lynch shortly after the shooting
Lynch said that the strikers had attacked
the colored men and they had fired their
revolvers and shot Lynch accidentally.
The jury returned the following verdict:
That the said Peter Lynch came to his death
October 20 through septic pneumonia and sep
ucaenlia following gundshot wound of left hip

YEARS Of PERIL
IN ARCTIC SEAS
Schooner Prescott Safe
After Long Battle
With Ice.
Vessel That Sailed From San
Francisco in 1897 Puts
in at Seattle.

SEATTLE. Oct. 23.-After four years of
battling with the ice Of the Arctic Ocean,
the schooner George w. Prescott re-
turned to this port to-day It is an inter
esting tale of mingled hardship and good
fortune that Captain Angus Douglass
tells.
The George w. Prescott is trim little
schooner of 81 tons burden, She left San
Francisco on May 2S, 1887, bound for the
Arctic whale fisheries. Not until to-day
have her captain and crew stepped upon
American soil other than that of Alaska.
For four years the hardy craft has been
fighting with the fierce seas of the Arc
tic Ocean. For weeks at a time she was
locked in the ice. During her wanderings
the schooner cruised as far south as ia
pan and as far north as Cape North;
taken to some Siberian or Alaskan port
and sold The boat would then go for
another cruise. One of the six men in the
crew died and was buried at sea with all
the honors which the rough, seafaring
men could give him. AT one time the crew
nearly perished from starvation. For
eight weeks they were locked in the ice
and unable to get supplies. The1r proy1-
on a biscuit a day and the flesh from a
stray seal that they happened to kill. A
break in the ice enabled them to move
their vessel and a lucky encounter with
a Government cutter saved them from ex-
pected' death.
A year ago the schooner Wintered at
Teller City. The crew deserted and fed
to the gold fields. With the coming Of
spring an entirely new crew had to be en-
gagged.
The Prescott arrived in the harbor to-
day in a leaky condition. Since leaving
Rering Sea the crew have had to keep the
pumps going constantly. She will have to
go on drydock in this place before going
During the time the schooner has been
in the north her owner, John Smith, a
resident of Whatcom, died. Captain
Douglass was making inquiries to-day to
command. He is tired of fishing for
whales and would like to turn the
schooner over to her owners. These can
not be found. Until some one who can
legally claim the boat appears Captain
Douglass will have to remain with her

HALF MILLION
IN THE SMOKE

CHICAGO, Oct. 23.-Fire attacked the
packing house of the G. H. Hammond
Company at Hammond, Ind, tonight and
within an hour gained such headway that
the destruction of the plant was feared.
The Hammond Fire Department and the
private fire corps of the, packing company
were unable to cope with the flames and
an emergency call was sent to Chicago
and South Chicago.
Fire engines from the Chicago depart
ment were loaded upon a special train on
the Fort Wayne road and carried to the
burning district.
The fire began at the south end of the
plant in an old frame house. In an hour
the car shops, oiling rooms, beef-killing
department and blacksmith shops were
destroyed 1t then seemed that the fire
had burned itself out, but in a few min
utes the four-story brick building con-
tanning the cooling rooms, one of the COM
pany's largest buildings of the plant, was
burning.
o'clock after four departments of the
plant had been destroyed. The loss Is
$500. 900.
The packing company's plant covers fif-
teen acres Eighteen hundred men are
employed in the cooling department. The
company has branches in South Omaha,
ST. Joseph, Mo-, and Kansas City.

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, Oct. 2S.-Ad-
vices received here from La Guira, Vene-
zuela. under date of Monday. October 21,
say that the first consignment of arms
and ammunition, consisting Of 1900 rifles
and 4OO. 900 cartridges, on board schoon-
er towed by the Venezuelan gunboat on
the 23d of May end in charge of the Ven
ezuelan generals, Pedro Rodriguez ana

pedition. which was sent by the Vene-
zuelan Government, departed openly, Iol-
lowing plans arranged in Caracas.
General Uribe-Uribe, after several Gays
delav. passed from Venezuela into the Co.
1ombian district of Las Grias Saturday
at the head of about 1000 men, whether
thew were all Colombians or partly Vene-
zuelans it is impossible definitely to ascer-
tain. 1t is believed that General Urlbe-
Tribe intends trying to join the detach-
ment commanded by Marin, the Colon
HAN Liberal leader at Garcia Bovera.
General Uribe-Uribe will try to evade % %ac-
tion with the Conservatives near the
frontier. and, If he succeeds In so doing,
will attack the Conservatives at some
distance beyond the frontier.
In the meantime the Venezuelan troops
stationed at Tachira have been or are
maneuvering for the purpose Of distract
ing the ColombianS attention from Cen
eral Uribe-Uribe's movements. PresloenC
Castro is anxiously awaiting news OF
General be-JJribe'S success.
President Castro will probably issue at
about the end OF October an of1clal state
ment to the effect that Venezuela enjoys
internal peace.

sitions in the department. The rule mas

to the nearest schools because there is no
room at the John SWEET School.
Many Children Shut Out.
Some of the principals stated that they
had never asked for the formation OF ad-
ditionai classes, but the reports generally
supported superintendent webster s
charge that many pupils are denied school
facilities.
President Kincaid reported that she had
formed two primary classes in the Hearst
School, for which outside rooms have been
rented. A first grade-class has also been
formed in the Fremont School and two

GUIDES RUNAWAY HORSE
ALONG CROWDED STREETS
Young Woman's Remarkable Grit
and Presence of Mind Saves
Her Life
Her Life

SAN JOSE. Oct. 2S.-Miss Kitty Smell
Of San Francisco, at one time a member
of theatrical company there, had a
thrilling experience in a runaway here
this afternoon, and but for her presence
of mind she would have been killed or
badly injured. The young lady was being
driven in a closed coupe on Third street,
near St. James. A piece of broken har-
ness frightened the horse and he became
unmanageable, the driver being thrown to
the ground. The horse then ran up ST
James to First street and along First at
6 breakrneck pace.
Miss Smell displayed great grit and
presence of mind. Reaching out of the
window, she seized the lines. For three
blocks on First street, which was crowd
ed with rigs, she skillfully guided the
horse. That collisions were avoided
seemed almost miraculous Every one
expected to see Miss Smell killed.
In turning from First on to San Fer
nando street the rig crashed into a pea
nut stand on the corner, entirely de-
molishing it. The horse was then
stopped.
Aside from having her hair disarranged
and a silk waist torn, Miss Smell suffered
damage
Miss Smell formerly lived here, but
several years ago went to San Fran
cisco to study for the stage and for some
time was member of a stock company
in one of the theaters. She was reared
on her fathers cattle ranch near Mount
Hamilton, and the knowledge of horses
she then gained probably saved her life

CAPTAIN NEv|LLS
PLANS REVENGE

STOCKTON, Oct. 23.-Captain W. A.
Nevills, the mining magnate, whose inter
ests in and about jamestown run into the
millions, has sworn enmity to the Sierra
Railroad and proposes to make his anti
pathy Of a kind that will count against
the mountain line. He will this, week put
on big line of freighters between Oak
dale and Jamestown and contract to haul
all goods offered him at 81 or more ton
less than the railroad schedule. Further
than this, he announces that he will meet
every cut the road makes and will give a
rapid and satisfactory service.
The people in the mountain districts af-
fected are said to hail with delight re-
turn to old-time conditions, when the big
freighters dotted every trail and the crews
made money fly in the roadhouses.
Back of Nevills' fight there is story.
Revenge enters into his plans. 1t is said
that he had a"distinct understanding with
the projectors of the line that the noun
tain terminal should be Jamestown. Act
ing on this agreement. the mining man
put S500,000 into a palatal hotel and as
much more into other improvements. His
Rawhide mine backed up the town and
times became livelier there than for
twenty years previously. But when the
road pushed on to Sonora and Carriers,
Jamestown was injured and Nevills' hotel
became a white elephant" He is now
free from litigation over his mining prop
erty and has money in plenty. He has
doubled the forces in his Rawhide and
App mines and is booming all of his enter
prises.
1t is said that many of the merchants
are not enthusiastic over the coming of
the mountain railroad and will ack
Nevills in his fight for return to old
time methods Of transportation. Nevills
believes he can make the railroad regret
it's go-by Of jamestown and is prepared
for a stubborn fight The railroad peo-
ple's side of the story is not obtainable

CUTS
VICTIM s THROAT

VANCOUVER, Oct. 2s.-For the third
time within six months Charles Suto. 4
New Westminster hotel proprietor, has
been attacked by an unknown assassin.
who appears to be relentless in his deter
mination to end Suto's life. Sutos throat
was cut by the would-be murderer last
night, and the wound may cause his
death.
Suto lives alone in the rear of the depot
hotel. He went home at about midnight.
AS soon as he opened the front door he
heard a noise which convinced him that
some one was in the ROOM He spoke, but
received no answer. He went toward his
bedroom to light lamp, and he was fol-
lowed by the assassin, who attacked him
Just as he entered the door of his sleeping
room. The man jumped upon Suto from
behind and threw him to the floor, and
Immediately drew a -azor-edged knife
across Suto's throat. infiicting a deep
cash extending almost from ear to ear.
Suto raised an outcry and the assassin
made off with all possible speed. He was
seen to disappear through the doorway b !,
his victim who was lying prostrate on
the floor and unable to follow him. A
few seconds later Officers McKercher and
johnson arrived on the scene and Suto
was removed to the hospital. The off,
GERS instituted a search for the criminal,
but without avail.
Owing to the darkness Suto did not get
a good look at his assailant and does nor
even know whether he was japanese or
white man. He says he has no bitter
enemies that he is aware of and does not
know of any reason why he should have
been attacked.
