Burnett and Tom Deakin became
convinced each that the others fam
lily was probably more to blame over
the fence, clothesline and garbage
box issues.
Alice Burnett started to run
across the street one day in front of
delivery wagon. She fell, scram-
bled to her feet again, and the
horses knee struck her in the back.
She fell on the block pavement and
lay quiet.
Mrs. Deakin saw it all from her
front window. She ran into the
street and gathered the muddy child
in her arms. The frightened driver
had left his wagon, and he followed
her timidly to the front door of the
Burnett house.
Mrs. Burnett screamed and then
began TO cry.
run for q doctor, you loony"
said Mrs. Deakin to the driver as
she placed the limp little body on n
bed and then ran for cold water and
cloths.
When the girl opened her eyes she
found her mother on one side, Mrs
Deakin on the other, while n reas-
surfing physician smiled at her over
the footboard
"She's little jolted up and
bumped her head when she fell, but
it was mostly shock" he said.
Law me-" gasped Mrs. Dcakin,
"when | saw that child fall my heart
just went into my throat Don't
cry. Allie; you amt bit hurt. The
doctor says l can put some more
poultice on your bad old bump"
"1'll get it," said Mrs. Burnett.
"No; you sit still. You are rs
pale as ghost"
That is how it happened that
Frank Burnett, coming home from
the works by the back way, found
in his kitchen the hated vixen, the
trainer of criminals, the woman
without character-Mrs.D eakin.
She told him what had happened
and begged him not to brighten his
wife, as there wasn't any real dan
ger.
Mr.. Deakin was likewise surprised
upon arriving home. Supper was
not ready, and his wife had gone
over to the enemy He went after
her and was taken in.
Mrs. Dcnkin told him she couldn't
come home because Mrs. Burnett
was all upset, and some one would
have to take care of the child SO
Mr.. Deakin and his two boys ate a
cold lunch with Mr.. Burnett and his
boy.
Mr.. Burnett sent Morton out to
get two cigars, and while the women
sat by the bed in the front room the
men sat in the back room and
smoked, while the three boys, awed
by the revolution, kept very quiet
of Morton ever bothers you, Mr..
Deakin," said Mr.. Burnett, you
just let me know, and I'll tend to
him"

that Larry's apt to be too gay now
and then, and if | ever hear of him

A,.,, 10. - -
In the front room Mrs. Burnett
was thanking Mrs. Deakin, who was
hoping that her children had never
bothered Mrs. Burnett very much.
The little girl went to sleep, and the
Deakin family went home.
That WAS the end of the feud. In
each household there was general
order that in case of a neighborhood
riot punishment should be visited
upon those nearest at hand
Those two houses, side by side,
became the peace center of the west
division.
The Deakin children were at lib
erty to go over and thump on the
Burnett cottage organ.

PETERSBURG, Ind, April 26-The trial
of Howard Tate for the murder of John
Hodges, at Hutingburg, last December, be-
gan at 100 o'clock to-day, when the after
noon session of the court called. There
was some delay in the procedure, owing to
the defense filing a motion for continuance
on affidavit of the defendant that some wit
nesses were absent whose testimony was
material to the defense. Two of the witnesses
whose homes are in Kentucky could not
be located. The fight for continuance was
of short duration, as Judge E. A Ely
overruled the motion and ordered the trial
to proceed.
Coroner John F. Menker was the first
witness. He identified the victims clothing
and the revolver that was used in killing
The bullet that pierced Hodges's body was
also introduced and identified by witness
A chart of the premises was introduced
and the witness explained in full details
of the position of the two men when Hodges
was shot. Six minor witnesses were intro
duced, but their evidence did not add any,
thing to the States case. Seven witnesses
were all that were examined by the State

RUSSIAN FORCES
NOW CONCENTRATED

ST. PETERSBURG, April 26.-Advices
from Mukden indicate that the Russians
have completed the concentration of their
forces on the Mukden-Liao-Yan Railroad
and Mukden- Nieu-Chwang Railroad. Forty
thousand men are occupying fortified posi-
lions along the Yalu river, and twenty
thousand are posted at Taku-Shan, at the
head of Korea bay, where the Japanese
have threatened to make a landing. The
Russians also occupy the banks of the
Tumen river from the Russo-Korean from
tier to Lake Tai-Tji (Paik-Tou-San), on the
Manchu- Korean frontier, near the source
of the Yalu. Detachments of Russian cav
airy and light artillery hold the towns of
Kiao-Lin, Musan and Zunduyan, along the
river, and points on the east coast of Ko-
rea Offering facilities for landing.

SUBMARINE BOATS
Nay WORRY JAPANESE

ST. PETERSBURG, April 26-The en-
trance into the service Of four submarine
boats at Port Arthur means the addition of
new and formidable weapons for the de-
Tense of that stronghold. The dispatch of
the boats in sections over the railroad has
been shrouded in secrecy, and even to-day
many in St. Petersburg are inclined to
doubt the report by officials of their pres
ence at Port Arthur or to accept the infor-
nation as trustworthy.
An effort now to close or blockade Port
Arthur will. be dangerous, ii is thought
for Vice Admiral Togo to attempt. The
defenders of the port will be able TO guard
against japanese submarine vessels enter
ing the harbor and attacking the Russian
ships at anchor.
The officials here are not certain that the
Japanese have submarine boats as they
possessed none before the war, but since
the beginning of hostilities they undoubt-
eddy have laid down a number of them.
The Russian submarine boats may soon
have an opportunity to demonstrate the
value of their type in war, as the Japanese
fleet is reported at Che-Foo and the interval
of time it is usually absent from Port Ar
thur has about expired.

WASHINGTON. April 2S.-Admiral Dew
ey placed himself on record in favor Of
the general board plan OF Secretary moody
before the House committee on naval af-
fairs to-day. The present naval board, the
admiral said. was too large. Its sessions
were like town meetings" The proposed
board, he said would have jurisdiction over
measures and plans for fleet formation in
time of war and peace. The recommended
lions OF the board were to be purely in the
nature of expert advice for the guidance of
the secretary. He did not favor giving the
board executive authority
Admiral Dewey was outspoken in his dis
approval OF the army general staff as
model. and said he would not favor a dupli-
cate OF that organization for the navy. He
was opposed TO any organization which
would take power away from the secretary
The pending bill was not Objectionable in
this respect. He would not have retired
ofncers assigned TO membership ON the
board; the assignment should be made

ly examined by the Russian authorities,
the two Japanese servants who came into
