A STABBING ARRAY
Joe Clark and Fred Vceder, Farmers
Living Near Belnond, Engage IN
Bloody Quarrel.

BeImond, July PA serious stab
bling ARRAY took place at about o.
clock Monday evening between Joe
Clark and Fred Veeder, two farmers,
living about a mile and half apart.
Mail Carrier Aldrich met Veeder about
half way between the two farms and
Clark soon drove UP and accused
Veeder of circulating some scandal
about one Of Clarks relatives. Veeder
replied that the story was true.
The mail carrier left at the time. but
soon met Mr. Clark, who had seen the
men meet and feared trouble. Seeing
that the men were fighting Aldrich re-
turned and saw that Clark had Veeder
down.
Suddenly Veeder drew a knife and
stabbed Clark near the heart. A sec
ond blow cut deep cash in the tenn
pie, and another blow was aimed at
the heart, but Mr.. Clark struck down
the hand with a club and the two men
were separated and started for their
homes. Clark was too weak from loss
of blood to go far, and Mrs. Clark has
tened on to telephone for a physician.
Veeder drove to Clarion and delivered
himself to Sheriff Brown. Clark was
stabbed nine times, twice near the
heart, and is not expected to recover.

LIVES WITH BROKEN BACK.
James Sullivan of Council Bluffs is
Puzzle to His Physicians.


Council Bluffs, July 25.--With his
back broken midway between the
shoulders, two vertebrae removed at
the hands Of the surgeon and the en-
tire lower part OF his body. including
his internal organs. pnra1yzed from the
chest down. James Sullivan still lives.
How long he may survive is question
which no one can answer with intelli-
gent assurance
sullivan received his injuries in fall
ene' from Rock Island freight train
ne:lr Minaen Saturday night. He
boarded the train here and crawled
upon the roof of a car intending to
beat his way to Avoca. He must have
goae to sleep and rolled off the train,
as he has no remembrance of how he
came to fall Off. and knows nothing
of wha, happened until he found him
self lying beside the railroad track.
Some one found Sullivan Sunday
morning and he was picked up and
taken to Minden. A physician at that
place did what he could for the un-
fortunate man. Sullivan arrived in
Council Bluffs at 5 p. m. and was taken
in an ambulance to the w. c. A. hos
pital.
DR.. D. Macrae Jr.. examined the in
jured man and found the backbone not
only broken but also splintered and
disawanged In such manner that ii was
pressing upon the spinal cord. This
had already caused complete paralysis
of Sullivan's body below the breast. He
was in great pain elsewhere, but felt
absolutely nothing in the regions affec-
ted. He could talk but could move
nothing but his arms.
An operation was performed. last
Ing three quarters OF an hour, and the
shattered vertebrae was removed, re-
lieving to some extent the pressure on
the spinal nerve center. If the paraly-
sis disappears and permits the diges
tive and excretory organs to resume
their functions. Sullivan has slim
chance for recovery, but otherwise
none at all.
Sullivan is twenty one years of age
and has his home IN Council Bluffs.
He lives with his father and a brother
on Twelfth street between Eighteenth
ami Nineteenth avenues. The relatives
were with him at the hospital during
the. operation and afterward.

Hampton, July 2T-The Franklin
county board OF supervisors at a
special meeting Monday made the APP
pointment of w. 7. Adams as swamp
land agent for this county for the pur-
pose of closing up the swamp land
and cash indemnity claims between the
United States government and Frank
lin county Government Land Agent
Stanford is here to make all the neces
sary arrangements for the government.
These claims by this county against
the government are the result of the
swamp land act which was passed in
1850 and by the terms of which the
government was to sell or dispose of as
they saw fit, all the swamp land. They
ward. Every county was supposed to
have a swamp land agent, but since
about 1860 there has been none In this
county and consequently these claims
have not been paid since that time
The state has lately demanded what
it has coming from the govern
ment on all unsettled claims. There
are about forty tracts of forty acres
each in Franklin county which were
sold under the provisions of that act.
What the amount of the claim Will be
is very uncertain as there Is no claim
on any forty which is one-half arabic.
Mr. Adams will inspect these lands at
once and settlement will be made
with the government agent who is now
here for that purpose.

There is a split among local Demo-
Gratis on the question of Hearst. Palmer
Woods is on one side of the question
and Colonel Mccarthy on the other and
their friends are divided. Col. Nc
Carthy's position is that Hawaii ought
to go uninstructed to the convention so
as to get in with the winning man,
whoever he may be- Woods likes
Hearst and wants to pledge the delega-
ton for him. Speaking as Republican
newspaper, the Advertiser would like
to see Hearst nominated against Roose-
welt, but it anticipates that the general
reputation of the young candidate on
the mainland will, in the end, incline
the island democracy to go to the con-
yention unpledged. OF course the
spending of money here by Mr.. Hearst
might turn things his way, but that
remains to be seen,
