when near Mr.. Northum's place he
stepped Off steep bank, falling some
five or six feet, the fall breaking one of
his legs in two different places. and in
one place the bone was pushed through
the flesh. He laid where he had fallen
for almost twenty minutes, before his
cries attracted the attention of the
neighbors. and suffered terribly. When
he was found he was carried to his
home. and physician Immediately
called who set the injured leg, and put
it in splints. The injury will detain
Mr.. Christensen at home for long

They LEFT TOWN.
Two Undesirable Citizens Take
Their Departure Friday.
INVITATION WAS WRITTEN IN RED.
Rufus Anderson, Colored and Lou Bian
Receive Invitation Signed by "Citi-
zens' Committee" and Accept

Last Friday morning Rufus Ander-
son, the colored porter who has been
working in Crandall.s barber shop un-
der the post Office, and Lou Bian, who
was at one time bar tender at the
Northwestern Hotel, each received
notices written in red ink and signed
"Citizens' Committee" to leave town
by six O'Clock The letters charged
them with disgraceful conduct, the
buying of liquor for drunkards and un-
mentionable crimes.
The two men were badly scared, and
went at once to the county attorney
for advice. Mr.. Klinker told them he
thought the committee meant business,
and the best thing for them to do was
to leave as soon as possible. They i'm
mediately packed their belongings and
hauled them trunks to the Illinois Cen
tral, intending to take the Afternoon
train west. But to their distress they
found that the train had been taken
Off, and that the next train would not
leave till eight O'Clock. Mach fright
ened they sought the mayors office,
and he promised them his protection
till their train shoulG leave. So from
six O'clock till eight these men stayed
in the mayors Office, guarded by spec
ial police appointed by the mayor for
the purpose They left town without
molesJation.
| The contents of the notices are suffi-
cient explanation as to why they were
ordered out, and Denison is we'll rid of
them.
Itls rumored there are other tough
characters here who will receive like
notices if they do not take the hint and
leave sooner.
Later-On Monday Tom Lentz and
| Vernon Clark received notices from
the same committee to leave town by
six o'clock. They talked at first as if
tney would resist the order, and Clark
I threatened to shoot the first man that
touched him after SIX O'Clock. Late in
the afternoon, however, they weaken
ed, and at 5:55 they took the North
bound Central train.

State Excluded Testimony. DR. Rond
Appointed Guardian.
Frank Nelson, charged with the
burning of strawstack belonging to
February 26. vas tried before justice
McLeunaa last Thursday afternoon on
charge of venue from Justice Gulick's
court and was bound over to the grand
jury 10 the sum of one thousand dol
lars
For some reason or other the farmers
who were most active in pushing the
prosecution at the time of the crime
proved TO be very stubborn witnesses,
and the state experienced conside cradle
difficulty in securing enough evidence
to hold the defendant over. 1t is al
legged that the defendants grand
mother, Mrs. Peter Beermaker. offered
to pay all damages if the farmers would
not proceed with the prosecution. But
the county attorney is determined that
if the young man is guilty he shall not
escape justice in this manner and will
push the prosecution to its conclusion.
From what little the witnesses could
be persuaded to tell the court was aoe
to ascertain that on the morning of the
fire a number OF the farmers proceeded
to investigate the cause. Snow cover
ed the ground here and there and
tracks were found rear the burning
stacks corresponding to those leading
to and from the Beermaker farm where
the defendant lives, and to those made
by the defendant. Another bit of evil
dence which tended to establish the
guilt of the defendant was the dis
cOvery of a sack on the trial which the
farmers were following containing
mustard. portion of whose contents
had been thrown in the tracks. This
evidence connected with the remark
which the defendant was overheard to
make that mustard would throw blood
hounds off the sent greatly assisted the
county attorney in having the defend
ant bound over.
The defense called Dir Bond to the
witness stand for expert testimony as
to the sanity of the defendant but the
state succeeded in excluding all such
testimony from the court.
Frank Nelson is young man about
twenty-five years OF age. His mind is
not very strong, and since his arres
Dr. L. l.. Bond has been appointed a.
his guardian. He has an open counte
nance and does not seem to be one who
would do mischief with criminal intent
The defense called two witnesses tt
show that he had always been a person
of good, moral character, and was nev
or known to commit crime of an,
kind. If it finally be proven that tht
defendant is guilty. it does not seen
possible that he should have done 8,
with criminal intent.
1t will be remembered that severa
of the farmers in this neighborhoot
sustained losses by fire during the las
few weeks, all apparently of an incen
diary nature. but nothing develope,
during the, trial which connected Mel
son with them in any manner.

SUCCESSFUL CONCERT.
Denison Orchestra Gives Best Concert
Yet Given by Home Talent.

Yet GlVen by Home Iaient.
The best concert ever given by the
Danlson Orchestra in the opera house
was given :ast Friday evening. There
was not hitch in the program which
was composed o, very class cal music,
and from the first piece, march writ
ten by Mr.. Cory, of Sa. City, and
played for the first time by the Denison
orchestra. to the very last there was
not the least noticeable saving back
and forth. every member played his
part right up in time and with express
sion. Mr.. Sibbert is deserving a great
deal of credit his orchestra deserves a
very liberal patronage, and we trust
that he may give more of such concerts
as was given last Friday evening. In
fact we do not see why concert every
month, or even every two weeks with
an admission price of ten cents to
adults would not be a good idea. In
this way the interest would be kept up,
the members would be encouraged. and
the general public would be benefited.
