IN eAO FIX
Judges are Without a Salary.

Judges are WITHOUT SaIaFy.
Parkersburg, w. Va, Jan. THE
discovery has been made that the re-
Gently adopted constitutional amend
ment has left the judges of every
state court in West Virginia without
a salary. Before the adoption of the
amendment salaries of the judges were
fixed by the constitution. The amend
ment repealed that section of the con-
stitution and provided that all the sal
aries of the judges should be fixed by
the legislature.
u 1t is held now that the former con-
stitntional provision having been re-
pealed and the legislature not having
fixed the salaries under the new
amendment to the constitution, every
Judge in the state is without a salary.

UNKNOWN MAN WAS
KILLED BY A TRAIN
NEAR LOUISVILLE
MangIed Body Found
Along Ira ack Has Not
Been Identified.
new CORONER CALLED IN FIRST Case

The mangled body Of an unknown
man was found by track walker
Tuesday evening between and 6
o'clock on the Pennsylvania tracks
about two and a half miles east Of
Louisville. Both legs were cut off and
the skull badly crushed indicating
that the man had been run down by
a fast train. The body was taken to
Louisville and Coroner Schlitz was
summoned to hold an examination.
There were no papers on the dead
mans person to give the least clue as
to who he was or where he was from.
He had a case of needles with him and
the coroner is Of the opinion that he
was a peddler. A gang of section men
in the Canton yards of the Ft Wayne
railroad state that they saw the man
in Canton Tuesday and that he was
intoxicated. 1t is thought that he was
under the influence of liquor when he
was struck by the train.
The body will be held for several
days while an effort is being made by
the coroner TO establish Identification.
In case he fails the body will be turn
ed over to the township trustees who
will look after the burial. This was
Coroner Schlitz's first call since he
took the office of Coroner On January
1. He was assisted in the investiga-
ton of the the case by DIR. 7. C. Nc
Quate, who was coroner before DR..
Schuffell who resigned from the Of
fee in January.
The officials of the railroad do not
know by which train the man was
struck, but think it was probably one
of the trains which pass through
Louisville shortly after o'clock The

termining whether or not a man Is

had some years ago out west" said q
MAJ who once made an educational
tour Of the west, to the New Orleans
Times Democrat, land the same little
experience convinced me that the In
dams system along this line Is by no
means bad one.
"Stories had been told which brought
about a clash between the Indian and
a white man. The two men originally
had nothing against each other. The
Indian had a bad reputation-that is.
he had the reputation Of being a bad
man, a desperate, dangerous fellow,
who would fight buzzsaw at the drop
of hat. He was proud Of the dis
tinction and whenever an opportunity
arose he was more than delighted to
sustain the reputation. The white
man, who blew into the section,
in some way gained a similar reputa-
ton. He was said to be a dangerous
character and a man who had never
been whipped. We concluded that we
would have some fun. We met the In
dian and told him long story about
his new rival and reminded him that
his laurels were in danger. We told
him all kinds of stories about the white
man and succeeded in getting his pride
stirred and his Indian blood was soon
up to the fighting point. Soon after
this we met the white man and we fill
ed him up with the same kind OF talk.
He said he would take care Of the In
dian all right in due time and, in short,
would make him take to the woods.
Shortly we met the Indian again and
told him the desperate white man was
after his scalp. He smiled and shook
his head.
"a few days later we were talking
to the white man when the Indian came
up to join the group. He had spotted
the stranger and knew him by sight.
Without saying word he walked up
to within arms length and struck the
white man in the face with a rough
heavy glove. He paused few seconds
and hit him again. 'Ugh!' he exclaim-
ed, as he wheeled around and walked
away. The white man looked at the
Indian in amazement, but made no
show of resentment. Later In the day
when we asked the Indian why it was
that he did not follow up the insult
with blows, he told US the white man
was a coward. In explaining how he
knew it he said the mans jaw
dropped when he struck him in the
face the second time with the glove,
and that this, with the Indian, was an
unfailing sign of cowardice, and he said

A BATTLEFIELD JOKE.
Why Capt. Hayes Knew Fitzhush Lee
Would Get Well.

Why Capt. Hayes Know Fitzhush Lee
Would Get Well.
To look at General Jack Hayes 1t
seems almost incredible that he could
have served for forty eight years in the
United States army, because he doesn't
seem hardly older than that. A won
derful career he has had and 1t Is bet
ter than reading an historical novel to
hear him tell Of the old days when, on
the mosquito covered plains Of Texas,
he fought the savage Comanches under
Captain Earl Van Dorm and Lieutenant
Fitzhugh Lee, though he afterward OPP
posed these same men who were des-
tined to rise to high rank in the Con-
federate army, and for both Of them he
cherishes as warm a regard as In that
heroic era when they fought side by
side. In narrating some Of his expe-
riences General Hayes said the other
day to a Washington reporter:
II was in a hot fight with the In
dams out in western Texas, In 1853, in
which Fitzhugh Lee received an arrow
in his side from the bow of Comanche
chief. Not one Of his men who crowd
ed about him expected he would live.
His look was so ghastly, his voice so
faint, that we expected every breath
would be his last. My heart was nearly
broken, for had the same warm lik-
ing for him then I have ever since
cherished.
while we stood in a mournful group
around him one Of the boys remarked,
at the same time exhibiting his hat,
with a bullet hole through the top.
They've got the lieutenant, and If the
bullet that made this, had gone two
inches lower, I'd have been a dead
man too"
"Ae this Fitzhugh Lee opened his eyes
just a fraction, and as the ghost Of a
smile palyed on his pallid face, OBJ
served: Jim, you needn't try to i'm
pose any such yarn as that on us. You
got be hind a tree, and shot that hole
in yorr hat yourself
Then and there knew Fitzhugh Lee
wasn't going to die. A man who had
life enough left to joke was sure to get

No Whit. R.e.h or.s..

"Why Is 1t that we never see q white
racehorse?" asked man who takes
much interest in unusual things. Did
you ever see pure white racehorse?
I venture the assertion that you never
did in all your experience In running
around over the country. No doubt
you have seen an iron gray horse now
and then, or a fiea-bitten gray, but you
have never seen white horse among
the thoroughbreds Of your time. Mind
you, am not saying that there is no
such a thing as white racehorse. I
am simply commenting on fact which
I, have observed, and fact which may
have been noticed BY others:
IT have seen a gray horse now and
then. A few years ago. I remember to
have made small bet on a horse
named Boaz, sort Of flea-bitten gray,
owned by woman, who, by the way
was not redheaded. But during my
experience around race-tracks, which is
not as broad as the experience Of 9TH
ers, the pure white horse, or anything
approaching it nearer than the gray,
has been conspicously absent, and I
have often wondered why. OF course,
there must be some good, deep-rooted
reason for this extraordinary fact.
Bay horses, sorrel horses and black
horses are common enough at the vari-
Gus race courses Of the country and,
they are in all shades, so far as these
colors are concerned. Occasionally one
may find horse bordering on the clay
bank in color, horses with blaze faces,
or with white hind or fore feet, or
sometimes having other distinguished
color marks.
But where is the white horse? He
is not at the race track, where races
are on the card, and they are very
scarce on trotting and pacing tracks.
I have never mentioned the curious fact
to men who are experts when its comes
to blooded horses, but I intend to do
so, and the very first well-posted race
horse man I meet I will ask him why 1t
Is that there are no white race horses,
and the reasons therefor. There must
be some relations between color and
speed.-New Orleans Times-Democrat.
