swltehmen Quit Work.

The switchmen, we learn, quit work
here last Saturday night, and the only
work being done now is performed by
Hardmaster Clark
A switchman told us that the cause
of the men quitting was on account of
the Santa Fe raising the wages of con.
ductors and switchmen at some places
on the road and not raising it at 9th
ers.
We understand the Switchmen's Mu-
tual Aid Association will take the
matter up with the Brotherhood of
Railway Trainmen and unless a uni
form scale can be maintained there
may be considerable trouble.

Yesterday afternoon Officer Ledbet-
ter arrested young man by the name
of j. ID. Hendrick, charging him with
fast riding Hendricks is a young
man and lives in the Choctaw Nation.
and is here alone and without friends
Sam Weeks, taking these things
into consideration, took an interest in
the young man and proffered to de-
fend him.
Sam demanded a jury which was
duly empaneled and the case went to
trial.
The preponderance of testimony
went to show that the young man was
trotting up Main street and struck a
lope; that the speed at which he was
travelling was not an unusual rate of
speed; that Officer Ledbettec went out
to detain him and reached for han, but
failed to catch him, when the young
man put spurs to his horse and tried
to get away; that the officer mounted
horse and overlook him.
Mr. Weeks offered his argument in
low tone, increasing his voice as he
proceeded, and made frst-rate
speech. closing with the usual with
these remarks | will leave the case
with you, knowing you will do your
duty and return a verdict ~ not
guilty and allow the young man to
GO"
The jury retired and was out only
a few minutes when they filed back
into the courtroom and returned YER
dict of mot guilty" and the whole
mouse cheered.

BLoCKToN MINISTER'S NERVE.
Rev. l.. Flemmlng. of Blocton,
Writes a Roasting Obituary
on Deserving Subject.

The following is a, very peculiar yet a
very appropriate obituary for the case
in hand, and as the sentiment Of d
charater that ought to be given pub.
licity, we reprint the article in full as it
appeared in the Blockton News, and it
comes home with force in every com,
'munlty, Leon being no exception: y
Miss Stella jenkins died July l, 1902,
at three O'Clock. Miss jenkins was Is
years, 6months and II days old. She
leaves to mourn her loss a father, moth
er, three brothers, one sister and a little
child, who will need the kindness and
love OF christians everywhere.
Fathers, what are you doing to right
inns terrible sin? Are you trying to estab.
lish characterin the lives of your boys,
Aie you trying to down the saloon, and
put Tobacco in every form out of their
hearts? Do you teach them that char
acter IS better than gold or silver?
ha'hefs' beware, for what you SOW is
"hae you Will reap. If you sowi.vile
s'ofies' you will reaplslang phrases.
oo~ cards and you will reap gamblers.
SOW whiskey and you will reap drunk
afds. Sow lust andl you will reap adul-
terry. Sow a character and::-you will
reap a destiny.
b author of this child's sorrow
ought to be tied up by the feet and
Whlpped..to death with acat-o.nine tails.
l do not see what mothers are thinking
about to let their girls 90 with boys at
twelve years of age, without a father,
mother or older sister with them. And
yet, you do and seem to think it smart
that your girl, twelve years old has a
beau. Where are your girls at night?
Are they on the bridge, or in the park?
Are they standing at the gate in the
shade OF a tree, or areithey in the par.
lor until the break of day? Stop and
think. Pride goeth before destruction,
and a naughty spirit before a fall. AS a
Jewel in a swihe's snout, so is a fair
man or woman who is without discretion.

MIR. II. West brought to our office On
Wednesday last an old Indian relic that
in years gone by was probably used as a
stone to mark the grave of the Indian
chief Red Bull. This stone was plowed
up on his farm east of town and thrown
in a fence corner where it laid until some
writing was noticed on it when it was
taken by his son and secured of and
the writing and marks are very plain to
the naked eye. 1t is a common sand
stone, irregular in shape and about
SKIP. On one side is the following:
"Red Bull, Chief of Snake, died 1914"
Below this is a rough sketch of a person.
On the reverse side in capital letters is
"W A ~" also a rough sketch of what
looks to be the lower part of an Indian.
The upper part Of this picture is gone
and it looks as though the stone might
have been broken off, but if so all APP
p%earances of a break are gone, This
relic has every appearance of being gen
uine and may be seen by calling at this
office. -Corydon Times-Republican.
