Capt. INC" Townsend referred to
in the above story, was for years the
master OF the schooner Charles K.
Buckley and was AN old conner to
Brunswick where he was very popular
with a large number of our people.
The killing of the captain was very
heinous crime, the man Burness
had sailed for a round trip but quit
the vessel before the voyage was ter
minated. He demanded full pay. The
captain refused to- make the payment
and by consent of both parties the
matter was left to be arbitrated by
the Seamens Aid society. After con-
sideration the society decided that
the captain should only pay a portion
of the amount demanded This was
done and Burness left the vessel to- all
appearances satisfied with the matter.
He returned later following the cap
tain to his cabin, locking the door
behind him and proceeded to shoot
him to death in the most cowardly fash
ion, every ball having been fired from
the rear. He then deliberately left
the vessel and the death was mot
discovered until an hour after when
the mate went to call the captain to
supper. The police were notified AMI
a search was made for the murderer
and he was found in his room CON-
fortably smoking his pipe. He was
promptly arrested, acknowledged his
crime with the information that the
killing Of Capt. Townsend was the
third murder to his credit He will
of course be put to death "in the
chair as he expresses it.
The captain was of a genial, sunny
disposition and as stated above, was
highly esteemed by large circle OF
friends in this city.

Bank Wrecker Andrews.
Detroit, Dec 23.-Word was receiv-
ed from Lansing tonight that Governor
Bliss had signed parole for Frank
C. Andrews, former vice president OF
the whecked City Saving bank of De-
|troit. Andrews has been confined in
the state prison at Jackson since No
'vember 10, 1902. He was convicted
On a misappropriation of the funds of
the bank. The technical charge was in

subsequent trial of Andrews, who
was at the time of his arrest police
commissioner Of the city of Detroit,

Prosecutor o. F. Hunt in speaking
of the parole, severely arraigned Gov
ernor Bliss for his action in the mat
| ter.
"The peoples side of the case was
not considered by the governor at all, :"
said Mr.. Hunt 'It seems that if a
man can make a steal big enough he
can get almost anything. think
that this action of Governor Bliss
will do more to bring the admins
tration of justice in this state into
contempt than aything else,
There are three other charges
Ipending against Andrews and l will
Ibegin investigation at once and see
whether or not he can be placed ON
trial on these charges"
The pending charges are for misap-
lplylag of the banks funds and max
ling a false report to the banking com.
missioners.

A "ROAST" ON MISSOURI

1FHERE is good land and poor
u land in Missouri. Iii the south.
eastern section, where ! visited, it is
mostly OF the latter variety. A far
mer who was just moving out told me
no one believes in hell down there,
because they think it would be fool
ish to have two places so much alike.
Sometime ago read Of farmer near
Joplin who decided his farm to the
Lord in regular legal form. At first
thought he was a religious crank,
but since seeing the country l have
concluded he was practical Joker.
Some Of the farmers down there put
im their crops with a ladder and pot
VI glue. They climb up both sides Of
their farm and paste their crops to
it with the glue. Sometimes mans
farm blows over like billboard, and
then he farms it with mule and
double shovel plew. They don't wash
clothes in the crop season, as the
clothesline is in use as harness. Other
farmers plant their crops with hip
boots and harvest them with dredge.
Ireally do not blame the James boys
for turning desperadoes after northern
raiders dragged their father behind q
pillow. Its enough to harrow up any
ones feelings to have ones respected
father dragged over such beastly land.

THE FEAR OF LAUGHTER

NM EN- who fear nothing else shirk
Avn from joke upon themselves.
Soldiers who do not finch before op.
posing guns dread to be made
ridiculous. Woe TO the national hero
who makes one tr fling mistake
which may subject him to clever
caricature! His meritorious career
is henceforth Swallowed by one
eolored illustration. A comic papey
will tip the scales of justice, snatch
victor's prize from his extended palm
and rob the orator Of his choicest
laurels. A brilliant satire will mar
the fortunes OF the greatest statesman;
. laugh will turn the tide Of a politi-
cal convention. Indeed, the joke is
fast becoming mightier than the pen.
The orator has learned its value, and
even the clergyman resorts to it
when lie desires to stir the tagging
interest i'll his flock. 1t furnishes SUI
ficient excuse for the impertinence Of
children and in its name the daily
papers deride the highest national
dignitaries. What is the meaning Of
its steady growth in power and what
results may we predict from its
humorous tyranny? Is there char ce
that our keen relish for fun may pro.
elnee kind Of humorous dyspepsi..
resulting from over-indulgence, I'M
less with epicurean discrimination we
demand quality, not quantity. and
stuhbornly refuse to swallow ether
than that which should appease a
wholesome, nay, cultivated appetite
in Jokes?
