IN SHOOTING ARRAY
Drunken BrawI at Nevada Results in
One Young Man Being shot-WiIl
Como Before Grand Jury.

Special to Times Republican.
Nevada. Nov. s.-What may yet
prove to be serious shooting ARRAY
took place here Saturday night during
a drunken brawl, and while the man
who is shot is still able to be around,
there is ball from 32-caliber revolt
yer lodged in the back of his neck,
which may give him trouble. Worley
Hardesty. a one legged boy about 81
years OF age, and who has been a
source of considerable trouble to the
city police, went over to Boone satur-
day and came home on No. 6, loaded to
the hrim with booze. In local res
taurant he met Dave Earwicker, an
other young man Of the town, who was
also under the influence of liquor. The
boys left the eating house together
about midnight. and shortly afterwards
three shots were heard, An investiga-
ton by the police showed that Hard
esty had shot Earwicker the ball hav-
ing passed thru the lower part Of his
left ear and lodged in the muscle on the
side of the neck. Hardesty was placed
under Arrest and Monday morning SEN
fenced to serve thirty days In jail for
carrying concealed weapons. The mat
ter will be brought to the attention OF
the grand jury, which convenes here
again Wednesday. and an effort will
be made to have him indicted on a
more serious charge.
Just what occurred from the. time
the boys left the restaurant together
until the shooting occurred there Is IN
considerable doubt, and it Is thought
that Earwicker may possibly refuse to
testify again Hardesty when the tllne
comes, altho as yet he refuses to make
any statement Of the case or to say
what he will do. His wounds do not
appear serious at this time but few
days may develop a more serious as
pect of the affair than is now antici-
pated.

Medical Skill Of Iowa Apparently
BaffIed by the Disease.
Special to Times Republican.
Hampton, Nov. S.-JNhe disease com
monty known aus pink eye has, within
the past year, been the cause Of blind
ing numberless horses in Iowa. No
cause has yet been assigned for the
disease but 1t is apparent that 1t has
baflled medical skill. One farmer In
Franklin county owned horse valued
at $175. The horse was afflicted with
pink eye, became blind and today Is
worth $25. Cases Of this kind are very
numerous.
1t Is estimated that about one third
Of all the horses which are afflicted
with pink eye turn blind. the other two
thirds recover safely. The only bad
effect the disease has upon horse
which does not become blind is tina,
the legs of the animal stock easily and
II left in the barn will swell to twice

CURED lust north of that city last eve

heart resided, he asked her to accom-
pany him to church, she Immediately
refusing. stating he was drunk. He
Jew into rage, threatening her great

WOMAN DIES in BAGGAGE CAR.

While En- Route to Ames.


While En- Route to Amos.
Des Moines. Nov. S.-The last wish
Of Mrs. Hannah Liggett Of Alpha, ILL.,,
came to sudden and unexpected end
last night near Des Moines. For years
she had hoped to visit her daughter,
Mrs. C. N. Nibel, OF Ames, and pass
the few remaining years of her life
with her child. In the pathetic ait
tempt to attain her ambition, Mrs. Lig-
gett died on Rock Island passenger
train while riding between Newton and
Des Moines.
with her was her daughter, Mrs.
Nibel All the tender care Of daugh-
ter was being given to the aged wom-
an. Tenderly wrapped in comforts and
lying in travelling basket. she was
placed In the baggage car Into her
veins an anesthetic was injected to
deaden the pain OF travel. AS the old
woman slept her sleep OF death. the
relatives were planning comforts for
her in the new home just built in
Ames.
Just this side of Newton, Mrs. Nibel
spoke to her mother.
I'VE are nearing Des Moines. moth
er: we Will soon be home.
The mother had already reached
home. A touch to her brow found the
cold CLEANLINESS OF death.
When the death Of her mother was
discovered, Mrs. Nifbei telegraphed to
Des Moines and an undartaker's wagon
met her. The body was removed to l..
+. Shank's undertaking rooms. It will
be shipped to Ames today, and the
funeral win take place from that city
sometime soon.
When Mrs. Liggett was placed on
the train at Geneseo, Ill.,, where she
had been in hospital for three weeks
being treated for fractured hip, she
was given an anesthetic to deaden the
pain. The physician declared that she
would sleep all the way. Mrs. Lggett
fell to sleep shortly after she was
placed on the train and never once
awoke. 1t may be that the overdose Of
the opiate hastened her death.
Mrs. Liggett fell three weeks ago
and fractured her hip. Her condition
has since been serious, and while SO
afflicted formed the opinion that she
wanted to die in the home Of her
DAUGHTER.

lyRGe LAND.LAW REFORMS.
Commission Will Soon Meet to Re.
port to the President.

Washington, Sept. 19.-The public
lands commission, consisting OF Land
Commissioner Richards, Clifford Pin
chott and r. H. Newell, will hold an
early meeting and outline the report
which it will submit to the president
recommending changes in the various
public land laws. The members of
the commission have spent the summer
in the West observing the operation OF
the land laws, and will soon be sup.
piled with reports from their field rep
Iesentatives pointing out the weakness
es of the present laws. After going over
all the data collected, the commission
will draft it's report and submit it to
the president in time to permit him to
incorporate the various recommends
tions in his annual message to congress.
The commission may not be able to
make final report, but will make the
one presented as comprehensive as pos
sible, and will point out the changes
most needed in the public land statutes,
including the necessity fol modifica-
tion, if not actual repeal, of the lieu
land law.
President Roosevelt is depending
upon this commission for strong re-
port, and the indications are that he
will get it, though in some instances
the commission, while showing the
weak spots of the present laws, may
not recommend any definite remedy,
but submit various plans for the con-
sideration of congress. The probabili'
ty, however, is that there will be nc
important land legislation next winter
as it is a short session and there is con-
siderable opposition to changing the
existing laws, especially the lieu lane
law.

TRAIN IN A WRECK.
Chicago Passenger Train piled Up
at Crossing.

Cihcsso, Sept. 20. - A passenger
train on the Lake Shore & Michigan
Southern road was wrecked this after
noon at the crossing of the tracks at
Root street. Accounts of tbe cause
differ, some of the railroad people al
leging that the train ran into an open
switch and others saying the locomotive
jumped the track because of a broken
Aange. Twelve persons were injured
and some of them may die.
The train was going at high rate Of
speed to make up lost time. The
tracks are elevated, and the accident
happened just before the train reached
the viaduct over Root street. The en-
yine plunged to the far side of the VIA
duct, where q rail torn from its fasten-
ings rose up on end and transfxed the
rear of the engine cab and the lore part
of the baggage car. 1t held the wreck
age so firmly that several hours work
with coldchisels was necessary before
the baggage car could be removed. The
four cars behind the baggage car were
piled in heap at the north end of the
viaduct, and all of them badly
smashed. An overturned stove in the
rear car set fire to the wreckage, but it
was extinguished by the fire depart
ment before it had gained much head
way.
