LIFE IMPRISONMENT
These MIscreants Deserving Such =
Sentence.

Some days since, two Greek ln.
dians, Frank Haikey and Amos
Drew, loaded up on Broken Arrow
bitters and conceived the desire to
perpetrate some kind Of deviltry
Purchasing two bottles of peruna,
they started for Drew's ranch,
about three miles east of Broken
Arrow. A white man has been
renting the ranch from Drew for
several years and is still living
there with his family, raising
crop. His name we could not
learn, but he is said to be hard
working, industrious man and a
good tenant. With their courage
REINFORCED by additional attacks
ON the peruna bottles, Haikey and
Drew rode to the front gate ARD
dismounted. The ranchman and
his family saw the condition OF
the brutes and apprehended trouo-
le. But before he could prepare
himself for defense the two lndl-
ans drew their weapons and began
their work. The ranohman was
knocked down and his wife beaten
into insensibility, and when they
regaiDed consciousness they were
driven from the home. The win
dows and furniture were broken
into pieces and demolished. But
their browning act of ferocious
cruelty was the beating nigh unto
death Of the one-year old infant
child of the family. They struck
the little thing on the head and
kicked it out into the yard, leav.
ing it for dead. 1t revived, how
ever, and there ia said to be some
chance of it's recovery.
Officers captured Drew at Co.
weta but at last accounts Hsikey
was at large. The latter has prov
ed himself heretofore to be an
abando and vicious character.
Not long ago he held child over
hot stove until its life was ex-
tinct. and took a, fiendish delight
in the peril rmance. He was gull
~ of the crime and everybody
knew il, but by some hook OF
crook he was acquitted. II caught

The world has been long time in
making a little progress. The delight
with which the public greeted the
slow-going stage coach shows how lit
tie was required to arouse the people
and call forth their astonishment. That
a vehicle which required two days to
make the trip from New York to Phil
adelphia should have been known as
'The Flying Machine" no longer ago
than 1866. seems almost incredible In
this day when we go from New York
to Chicago in half that time. AS a
study of contrasts. before and after the
great awakening which followed the
birth of steam power and the inaugu'
ration Of the locomotive, this chapter
from a hundred years ago is interest
ing. The stage coach was the marve
of a slow age which the world ha'
been centuries in reaching; the loco
motive is the necessity of rapid age
which has not yet celebrated its cen
tennial.-From THE Era Of Stag

Good Roads Convention.

SSSS ANYWAY WV v SSh SsSSdu
The convention was called to order
at about II o'clock by Maj. J. II.
Counts and Mr.. Walter J. McCartha
was chosen to preside over the meet
ing and G. NJ. Harman elected
Secretary. On taking the chair Mr..
McCartha thanked the meeting for
the honor it had conferred upon him
by selecting him as the presiding
officer and then briefly explained the
object of the convention.
In order to get the question clearly
before the convention, Maj. J. Fl.
Counts introduced the following
resolution:
"Resolved, That it is the sense of
this convention that the Legislature
pass bill leaving the communication
tax one dollar or four days work, and
tax on property of one or one and a
quarter mills. Also giving the Su-
pervisor the right to change the road
bed to avoid steep grades; the land
owner having the right to claim
damages as at preseat. The road to
be let out by contract in from three
to five mile sections, after reserving
from thirty to fifty miles of hard
roads to be put in condition to be
worked by the chaipgapg."
TIE resolution was ably and ear
nestly discussed at length by Moi.
j. II. Counts, Jacob W. Dreher, G.
M. E6rd, Esq, W. B. Taylor, Hon.
John Bell Towill, DR.. J. ". Eargle,
DR.. W. 81. Zimmerman, DR.. J. L.
Shuler, J. b. Frick, Esq , MIR. 81. a.
Dreher, Mr.. George W. Reeder, Mr..
G.. A. Guignard, Mr.. John W. Fry,
and J. Brooks Wingard. The senti-
ment of the convention was that the
public roads of Lexington county
should be improved, and that quickly.
It was practically unanimous that
the commutation road tax should be
raised to 81, or in lieu thereof four
days work on the public highways.
At this stage of the discussion it was
deemed best for the interest of good
roads that the convention should bind
itself to no plan or policy and upon
motion of G. M. E6rd, Esq, it was
"Resolved, That the resolutions be-
fore the convention be laid on the
table and that the chair appoint a
committee of three whose duty it
shall be to formulate and present to
the coming Democratic County Con-
vention two systems of road work,
one by taxation and one by the old
system of labor and commutation,
and to ask the convention to permit
a vote on these questions at the COM
ing primary election"
The following persons were ap-
pointed to carry out the instruction
of the above resolutions: CM E6rd,
Esq, J. 81. Counts, and Lee Muller.
There being no other business the
convention adjourned sine die, and
here the fate of the good roads move
ment rests.
