veranda. DR.. Jones and his wife do not even
eat at the same table.
Papers in the separation suit were served
on DIR. Jones and the action is returnable

According to the complaint Mrs. Jones
makes two specific charges OF cruelty
against her husband. the first being that

PENDANT struck the plaintiff and abused her
without cause or provocation.' In the Sec

STEER RUNS AMUCK
IN YARDS 1T OGDEN

OGDEN, Utah. May 3O.-A long horned,
wild-eyed steer from the ranges of Nevada
created panic at the Ogden stockyards
The animal was from a trainload taken
off here for feeding purposes. No sooner
had he left the car than he appeared to
have gone crazy, believing loudly and gor-
ing the other animals with his horns. He
caused stampede among the cattle in the
yards.
An attempt was made to rope and dehorn
him, but no sooner had the men entered
the pen than the animal made for them like
mad, and one of them escaped only by a
hairs breadth by climbing the side of the
pen. His trousers were torn by one of the
horns.
The Infatuated steer stood on his hind
feet shaking his head at his intended VIC
TIM who stood upon the running board
above out of his reach. A Winchester rife
was then brought into play. and three bull
lets in his brain settled the career of the
mad beast.

Soldiers OF the Rebellion: Yours is a

scendants of all those who in every age
and every CLINE have helped to disenthrall
mankind.
For centuries tyrants tried to crush the
They endeavored TO kill 1t with the sword
IL could not be slain. They tried to shoot II
to death upon aNthousand bloody fields OF
strife-it came forth from every CONNECT
unscathed BY sword and untouched by
flame. Church and state combined to de-
stYoy it-they found il eternal. Ignorance
and superstition sought 10 overwhelm 1t
they found II invincible. 1t has survived the
wreck of peoples and the crash OF nations,
and to-day its radiance fills the whole
horizon of the world.
You abandoned every fond hope; you
forsook every cherished ambition; you left
all you loved In tears. A nation or snop
keepers sneered the king-ridden world /;
yet you in the presence of supreme duty,
forsook every design for gain and wealth,
and. forgetting self and all selfs aims,
plunged into strife that others might, like
you. be free.
Wars have not always been as pregnant
with meaning as your war. No army OF all
time save our revolutionary sires can be
compared with yours In object for which it
fought. for greatness and guilt have too
often been allied in the worlds history.
Vast bodies Of men have too often been
brought together TO contend for plumber,
for spoils. for power for riches, for terri
torial ACKNOWLEDGMENT or to satisfy the am
bilious lust Of one man. Myriads OF men
have gone down TO the tonguelesS silence
of the tomb at the dictates of selfish ty-
rants. But history is dumb as to those
place in her tales, because there was no
vital principle involved. That is the key
that unlocks the gates to Immortality and
insures an enduring place in history.
That Is why honor you to-day. That
Is why we bow our heads at the mention of
these heroes names. And can best
honor them and you to-day and forever by
affirming our undying allegiance to the
principles in whose defense you and they
bled. for this alone Eliminates the lives
OF the living and the dead and stamps them
as immortal heroes"

of the State. He said in part: 1T has
been a piece of rare good fortune for the
generation that has lately come to man
hood and womanhood to have grown up
among the survivors of the war for the
we know of now only from printed pages.
Its veterans were all long ago laid to
rest Its minor incidents and familiar fea-
lures have all but dropped out of memory
and hearing. The schoolboy for year or
two. the student of history, has fresh be-
fore him the panorama of Revolutionary
heroism: But we have all seen daily the
men who answered Lmcoln's CALL who
stood fast with Mcclellan. Meade and
Thomas. who followed Grant and Sherman.
Every year, although in pathetically de-
gather and march with the same battered
flags that were flung to the breezes at
Shiloh, at Stone River and Missionary
Ridge. We have heard from their own lips
the story OF the men who saved and welded
for all time to come the nation that took
form at Saratoga and Yorktown. We have
seen the great war its soldiers saw II.
But the day is coming fast when those
who took active part in that conflict will
be with us no longer, and We must be
ready to keep alive the memories and ira
ditions of Memorial day"

SHELBYVILLE. Ind, May 30.-With five
horrible gashes on different parts of the
left side of his body, the left side of his
nose laid open and a deep stab in the left
lung. Calvin Ensminger is considered to be
in dying condition at the home of his
father, Andrew j. Ensminger.
Late last night. when Ensminger and a
crowd were seated in front of the Springer
Hotel, Ensminger, without moments hesi-
tation, arose from the chair which he
was seated, and picking it up. struck An
drew Game blow across the head. Game
quickly pulled his knife and slashed Ems
minger.
AS soon as the deed was committed Game,
who is a carpenter and has always been
considered a quiet man, disappeared, and
the officers have failed to find any trace
whatever of him.
1t is thought that the wound In Ems
minger's lung will result fatally.
