DRAGGED TO DEATH.
Horse Ran Away with Wilson Warner
Franklin County Veteran as He Was
Returning From M'Connellsburg.
WAS A MOST SHOCKING ACCIDENT.

Dragged by runaway horse a
distance of a mile and a half down
a steep mountain road on last
Wednesday afternoon was the
sad experience of Wilson Warner
of Franklin county, and resulted
In his death few hours later.
Wilson Warner aged about 63
years, prominent farmer OF
Anderson Valley, Franklin coun-
ty, and a veteran of the Civil War
was ordered before the Examln-
ing Board at McConnellsDurg
last Wednesday for examination
for increase of pension. Not be-
ing strong man physically and
the distance being long for one
days drive, came to McConnells-
burg Tuesday evening, and ap-
peared before the Board early
next morning saying that he
wished to be first on the list of
examined that day, as he wished
to leave McConnellsburg in time
to reach Speck's hotel at Burnt
Cabins for dinner.
The physicians granted his re-
quest and by ten o'clock he was
ready to leave.
Having stopped at the Cabins
for dinner, he had assembled the
mountain and was passing down
on the other side, when the horse
he was driving became trlghten-
ed and dashed away down the
grade towards Fannettsburg.
The unlocked for leap of the horse
balanced Mr.. Warner, and he
fell from the buggy. Here be-
gan the horrible part of the acci.
dent. In beng pitched out of
the buggy, Mr.. Varner's foot be-
came tightly locked between the
seat and the floor of the buggy,
and there he dragged over the
side, head downward and oody
partly under the wheels, while
the horse went plunging down
the mountain at furious rate.
What dreadful experiences
those few minutes must have
been to Mr.. Warner no one will
ever know, for it vas not until the
horse had stopped IN front of the
residence of Mrs. Alexander Skin
ner-after having run mile and
a half that the condition of Mr..
Warner was discovered.
Here he was found, his foot
stlll fast in the buggy seat, his
body dangling over the side, the
flesh torn from one side of his
head and the upper part of his
body, one ear and one eye entire
ly gone, and he was, of course,
unconscious.
DR.. Shoop was quickly sum-
moned; but a glance from the
physician, and he knew that the
unfortunate man was beyond the
power of any human agency. AT
ter lingering a few hours, death
graciously came to his reliet.
Mr.. Warner was good soldier
"a member of-Regiment, Penn
sylvania Heavy Artillery. He is
survived by a wife and eight chll-
dren. Funeral took place on Sat
urday.

FROM THE HOOSIER STATE.
d. II. Gracey Writes from Muncie. Op-
portunity for Right Nan.

This is what happens to some
people when they get a jag on
Mrs. Abbie Slegle residing ir
what is known as the johnson
Row IN this city had command OF
the entire district last night.
First place she got hilarious and
the houses in the row being all
alike she got In the wrong one
but as she thought she was lord
of all she surveyed, she bumped
up against the unexpected, and
several scrimmages-such as hair
pulling, fist fights, and cuss
words was the result. She threat.
ened nearly every one in the Row,
and was only prevented from do.
ing bodily harm to some of the
residents by their agility to dodge
around the corner-and then the
language didn't sound much like
preaching.
AS a last resort, the police we're
called, and before she would sub.
nit and agree to take a free ride
In the Rogues Express they had
to rub her gently over the head
with their clubs.
She was then landed at Police
Headquarters and three charges
preferred against her-one for
malicious trespass with S11.OO:
profanity, $500, and lntoxication
S11.OO. She had no money and
went to jail for thirty days.
L see by your paper recently
that your county is decreasing in
population instead of beng on the
increase as most all parts of this
State are. Our city here, at the
coun t which was finished d'yester-
day shows an increase of .615
during the year, 1t being now SO, =
221. With this business is in
creas'ng. Yesterday, the God
GARD wholesale grocery house
was let for $50, 775 to Fred Filings
worth. The structure will be
four stories high, and 13O feet
square. The same contractor
has on hand the T. f. Rose Hotel
at 100000, and business block
at $4,000 and there are other
contractors who have a large
amount OF work. One building
known as the Old Opera House
Block will be vacated on the first
OF June and torn down and re-
built with six story block; an
other, three stories high will be
on the Court House Square.
AS to wages, they average with
other towns of the same size IN
the State, and l think, rather bet
ter. This, of course, has been
brought about through organlza-
tion. The Independent man takes
what the boss gives him; but he
pays us what we ask. Union car
penters get 50. 10 day of nine
hours; brick layers S4.OO for eight
hours; hod carriers 25 and 30
cents an hour; painters are not
organized ana run from % to get
to work, to $500 a day for work.
Common labor is $1.50 per day,
and two-horse teams, S4.0O. Oil
men get good wages. Drlllers,
$3.50 to S4,00; bumpers, $50 to
$50 month.
If you know of any middle aged
gent that wants to marry a re-
fined widow with good house
and two lots in this city, now is
his tune. There is no use IN go.
ing into details as to the kind of
man she wants, except that hes
must be sober and Industrious

Divorces are Nearly Equal to the
Marriages.
HUSBANDS ARE OFFENDERS
Iudue Frazer Of Portland Says That
Most of the Causes for Divorce
Are Due to Mean and Brutal
Husbands.

II is estimated that over one thou
sand divorces were granted in Oregon
last year,
aNine-tenths of the divorces II
Multnomah county and practically tht
entire state are due to the meannesS
OF the husbands. The divorce laws oi
Oregon are none too lax. In fact
am surprised that so many Women
stand the abuse which is heaped upor
them by men who are not fit to be
husbands. There is never a divorce
granted without cause, and in many
instances there is more than good
cause"
Such is the opinion of Judge A. L,
Frazer concerning the so-caled "di-
yorce evil" In very few instances, in
his opinion, is the divorce law abused,
and in a great many more cases II is
not taken advantage Of when there
exists abundant cause, Although there
are a large number of divorce granted
in Multnomah county each year, the
number, says the judge, is not out OF
proportion to the rest of the state or
to any other community in the United
States of equal population.
"Of course" said the judge, there
are instances where giddy and foolish
women marry when they have no busi-
ness to marry. In thees cases they are
to blame, and there is slight abuse
of the law But in the great majority
of. cases it is the fault of the husband.
Some men will treat woman worse
than they would beast. and expect
her TO submit TO it. Here there is no
evil in a divorce, but more properly
speaking a blessing. A person would
not believe that men could be SO mean
until evidence is heard in a number
of divorce cases and note the abuse
heaped upon accomplishing and noble
wives. ss -~
'In such cases ii cannot be said there
is an abuse of the divorce laws, but
an abuse Of human laws. and the most
sacred laws of heaven. Women viii
endure a great deal before they appeal
10 the courts for relief. and when they
dc the relief afforded by the divorce
laws IS never more than sufficient. II
would not advocate more stringent
divorce laws because as it is l think
women are made to suffer more than
they should
