L. T. MICHENER EXPLAINS
THE PRESIDENCY LETTERS

In reference TO The statement that the
name Of Mr.. Fairbanks was put In the
letter, as an afterthought. is a mistake
IN the original copy or draft Of the let
ter submitted 10 his typwriter. Mr.
MicheneT says he included Senator Fair
banks name. BY accident the typcwrit-
CT omitted il from the first five or six
copies In these Mr.. Michencr says nc
inserted Senator Fairbanks name with
a pen. In Tire other letters sent out. IN
all about thirty, he says the Senator S
name is typewriter.
Continuing. Mr.. Michener said:
Just after the election in November.
and entirely on my own notion. / wrote
about thirty friends Of mine in Indiana
for the purpose of ascertaining what the
sentiment was concerning the President.
Mr. Fairbanks. and Mr.. Hanna I did so
because / had heard statements made
here that l did not think were quite ex-
act. I received about twenty-five an
swers TO my letters.
Favor Senator Fairbanks.
These answers show that. with the cx-
ception Of Oliver p. Morton. 10 Repub-
lican has ever had such a hold on the
respect and affection OF the Republicans
Of Indiana as that now possessed by Mr.
Fairbanks. The State Is his and he can
do as he likes with it,
If he should be a candidate in 1904
he will have the loyal earnest and ag-
gressive support Of the Republicans OF
indiana. These letters state. also. that
IL Mr.. Fairbanks should not be a candi-
cate in 1904. and II Mr. Hanna and the
President should be opposing candidates
for the nomination. there would be a
very sharp struggle for he Indiana dele
cation, with the result In doubt
Both Nr. Hanna and the President
have the confidence OF the Republicans
OF that State, and either would be an ac-
ceptable candidate. so these letters as
scrt.

brothers, three sisters and mother
and father to mourn his loss. Fred
was great reader Of daily papers and
kept himself posted on matters of the
day and occurrences Of the world He,
when not travelling, was great ad-
mirer of home and could be found there
engaged in making home pleasant for
his mother and other members of his
family.
For several years he travelled with
company of musicians, chiefly gentle
men of his long acquaintance. His tray
elling took him over the greater part
of the United States. One feature that
he often remarked about In his travels
was his trip through California and the
Golden Gate. He was an admirer of the
different scenic effects, as he was quick
to comprehend anything of natures
works.

| band and Star Orchestra at time OF his
| death. Was-a member of the Benevo-
lent and Protective Order of Elks, be-
longing to this organization at Eugene,
| Oregon.
Fred was brave, courageous and con-
scientious In every manner. Was very
consideratc in all his dolngs. Always
exercised thought before acting. He
was mannerly and gentlemanly at all
times. Was always humorous and view
ed the bright side Of life, which made
him favorite with all.
The family Of the deceased were all
attentive to him in his last hours, the
brothers remaining at his bedside in
the trying ordeal till the last and sad
moments.
Fred was not a professed christian, but
belieyed in Supreme Being aud "a re-
specter of the word of God.
A short funeral service was held at
the house at 1000 Il. m, Monday, con-
Quoted by Rev. A. j. Meek, Phi. D.,
pastor of Baptist church. The service

James II. Zeigler, a travelling sales
man OF this place. reached town last
evening after passing through thrill
ing experience few miles from town.
On the Reynoldsville road he was set
upon by three men, beaten, gagged and
robbed of $l60, and, according to his
own story, narrowly escaped with his
life.
The affair took place quite early in
the evening and was at lonely place
along the road. The men jumped from
the side of the road, grabbed the horse
and fred several shots at Mr.. Zeigler,
one OF which grazed the side of his face
and burned his hair. Unable to cope
with the unequal forces, he was obliged
to submit to a gagging and hands and
feet tieing operation.
The robbers went through his pockets
and secured every bit Of money he had,
sum stated by Mr.. Zeigler to be not
far from $l60. The horses head was
turned in the direction of home and on
reaching town, from the South Brady
street entrance, he attracted the atten-
tion of Harry S. Crissman and Constable
Davis and was released from his uncom-
