Last Thursday evening Sheriff An

one legged wayfarer, man of perhaps
sixty years, who hobbled into town
in an almost frozen condition and
crayed the protection Of the county
/ bastile's brick walls. The unfortunate
fails from Denver, leaving that place
| in search of work and having only
enough money to carry him as far as
Scranton. From there he came to
Jefferson on foot. The man has been
ian engineer for many years and this
! is the line at which he desires to secure
work. The committee on poor in this
city is looking after his temporary
wants, but it is not improbable that the
county supervisors will send him to the
poor farm until spring.

which befell Stephen Kinney Wednes-

farm five miles south of town. Mr..
Kinney had purchased building of

dinner for the purpose of moving 1T.
In order to facilitate the matter, a
block and tackle had been fastened
from the house to a nearby tree, which
/ for instead of the house moving, as
was expected, the tree, evidently
rather small one, pulled up by the
roots and swinging toward the building
with terrific force struck Mr.. Kinney
full in the face. The force of the blow
was so great that it broke the cheek
bone and jaw, and pealed his lip and
one half Of his face clear back. The
accident occurred at $3.50 p. m. and
while it did not cause immediate death,

consciousness, dying at seven o'clock

A Weak Argument.

The Madison Democrat: Senator
Spooner says we cannot expect to sell
things at a high price unless we pay
high price for what we buy. To the
majority of people who have every
thing to buy and nothing to sell this
is not at all ad captandum.
To the man who has only labor to
sell il is small comfort that he finds
rise OF five or ten per cent. in his
wages and from 20 TO 40 per cent. in
the cost of the necessities of life that
he must buy. To the men who work
on salaries, a class counted by the
what does this argument
TO? They get no increase in
salary and everything they must buy
to live OF is raised in cost by the
trust or the tariff or the tariff and
the trust combined. TO them the
senator's words bring little comfort.
