ONE MUST PAY S2OO0 FINE
Specific Case Was an Attack on Non- Union Man, lnflictin1 Injuries Which .,esuted In
 His Death.

Chicago, December 29.-Five officials of the Carriage and Wagon Workers union and two of their alleged hired sluggers, who have been on trial in the criminal court for conspiracy, were found guilty tonight, and all of them will be sent to the penitentary unless they are granted new trials.

The other union men who were found guilty by the jury are Henry Newmon, financial secretary of the Carriage and Wagon Workers union: Charles Casey, president of the unlon Edward Shields. recording secre- tary; Charles M. Deutsch, member of the executive board; John Heiden, member of the executive board, and Marcus Looney. one of the alleged hired slug gers.
 Frank Novak another member of the executive board was found not guilty be- cause of lack of evidence.
 Non-Union Man Fatally Injured.
 The specific case on which the men were tried was one of the many similar cases that have happened in Chicago in the past few years. Last April while Chris B. Carlstrom, a non-union carriage work CT. was returning home from work and near a factory where he was working he was attacked by two men and seriously injured. He died two weeks later from pneumonia contracted by laying on the frozen ground for several hours after he had been left unconscious by his as- sailants.
 George Meyer, a aformer president of the Carriage and Wagon Workers union. turned states evidence, and cited the Carlstrom affair as an instance of the work of the "wrecking crew. as the union sluggers were called. During the eleven weeks that it took to secure jury after the men were indicted and brought to trial, 1913 veniremen were ex- anlined and the total expense of the case to Cook county up to date has been $S5,0Oo.

Government Victory Has Been
 Easy But Bloody
MOSCOW IS ALMOST NORMAL
Feeble Show of Resistance Is Kept Up, But the Strikers Are Nego- tatIng Terms of Sur
 render

St Petersburg, December 29-The sup pression of the nsurrecton at Moscow and the certainty that similar uprisngs elsewhere will be crushed. mark the col lapse of the first attempt of the reds to overthrow the government arms, and administer a defeat from which it is not believed in government circles the revo- lutonarles can quickly recover.
 Now that the smoke of battle is clear Ing away. the utter hopelessness of the conflict seems to be apparent. The popu- lace held aloof and not a single military unit actually joined the revolutionaries Even the general strike crumbled under the feet by their challenging and precip- ftatlng a conflict before the proletariat organizations were prepared.
 Victory Was Easy.
 The government secured a comparative 1y easy though ruthless victory, and it is believed in high official circles that the organizations have been so demoralized and disrupted by the blow, and by the arrest of their most able leaders, that 1t would be impossible for them to attempt the coup planned for the anniversary of, ''bloody Sunday" In desperation undoubt-
 
 edly the revolutionaries will again have recourse to acts of terror which they will spring at the most unexpected moment.
 The country has quieted and the cabinet now hopes the selection of the douma Is assured, and that the government can de- vote it's time to the suppression of the revolt in the Baltic provinces and more especially to the solution of the agrarian question. If means cannot be found to in some measure satisfy the land-hunger of the peasants before the spring, the uni versal opinion Is that the peasants every where will rise The landed proprietors seem to be convinced of this to such an extent that the landlords in the neighbor- hood of MinslS are calling their tenants together and are voluntarily arranging the distribution of portion of their private holdings and terms satisfactory to the peasants.

In and Out.

A prominent physician in Baltimore
recently perpetrated witticism at his
own expense. It was late at night.
The doctor had lost his night key; the
door was locked; he was cold from o
long, ride and the more he rang the
door bell the more ths suspicion grew
in his mind that some one had ohloro-
formed the entire household. Finally,
however, his sister was aroused by o
long ring of the bell. Naturally che
thought that there was some one at
the door who wished to zee the doctor,
and that, as the doctor was ont she
would herself have to answer the sum.
mons, else the caller would keep her
awake for long time. So hastily
throwing q loose gown over her night
dress she hurried TO the door. Open
ing the door the least bit in order not
to present her dishabile to an entrud-
ing eye, she shouted through the crack
in tone Of sleepy impatience: "The
doctors OUT and was about to Glove
the door, when the physician thrus:
one foot through, at the same time ex-
claiming:
eyes, know the Doctors out, but
he wants to get in.''

NINE TIMES WED.
Most Of Mrs. A-yres' Husbands ssDied With
Their Boots Cn.''
(From the Oklahoma State Capital.)

Matilda James Ayres, the prettiest
young woman and the best cook in
Taylor County, KY, although orly 33
years old, has been married nine times
and never been divorced. Il is claim
ed that she holds the worlds record
as to husbands, but then she began
early, eloping when she was only Is.
Her ninth and last marriage took
place last week at the church on Pi-
ney Creek, in. Taylor County. Her
full name is Matilda Jane Harkins.
Ellet- Boards -Wyckton.L .Lowman- Low
man Hudson Dumenil-Ayres. The
new mates name is Mason Ayres.
This woman, whose life has been as
full of romance as Kentucky is Of
feuds, is strong opponent of d.
Vorce.
"No man or woman should marry
unless they are in love-" she says.
"And if they are in love nothing can
separate them but death. Neither
has the right to seek freedom by law,
and while they may separate if condi-
tions become unbearable, neither un-
der any condition has the right to wed
unless the other is dead"
Up above the "Washfoot Baptist"
Church in the hills near Lone Star is
the graveyard, aud the row Of stones,
side by side, bear inscriptions that tell
briefly the story of Matte Ayres and
her life of romance.
For she has buried the eight hus-
bands side by side, with graves just
alike, with head and foot stones in
exact duplicate.

ehe Bull was iocated.
She refused to tell. At that instant
two of .Wyckton's sisters entered, and
fierce battle ensued, the women
lighting, screaming and struggling to
reach their nlns. Three other sisters,
aroused by the sound of the struggle,
rushed to the house and engaged in
the encounter. After q fearful strug-
gle the five were overpowered and
bound.
At that instant Ed Wyckton ran
from the words aud opened fire upon
the posse believing that his wife and
sisters were being ill-treated. Sta
toned behind tree he dropped two
OF the posse. Then one man crept
out along the fence-a shot rang out,
and Matte saw her husband throw up
his hands, reel in circle, and drop
dead with bullet in his brain.
Almost crazed by grief and the
shock, Matte devoted her wealth to
freeing the sisters of her husband, and
managed by employing excellent law
yers, to set them free when the Fed
eral Court met at Louisville.
Matte Harkins, widowed three
times in three years, went back to live
at home, nesz Lone Star, building a
pretty home on the site of the rude
house from which she eloped as a
school girl. Two years later she was
quietly married to Nat Lowman, who
had been one of her girlhood lovers.
Nat lived just two years, then died of
consumption, his wife nursing him
tenderly for over year.
She buried him alongside of the
others and mourned for nine months,
then became the bride Of Andy Low
man, Mats brother, who won her by
his solicitude and tenderness during
his brothers illness and death and
during Der fourth widowhood. He
lived only short time.
Eleven months after her fifth be.
reavement Manuel Hudson came by
chance TO the house. He won Mattie's
love by his kindness to her little girl
baby, and six months after they met
they we're married.
Hudson was shot in row at Frank
fort the next year while lobbying in
the Legislature for timber land bill,
and one year later his widow was led
to the sltar by "Pony" Dumenil, who
met her at Frankfort when as Mrs.
Hudson she attended session Of the
Legislature. Dumenil took her to live
at Harrodsburg, but that same fall he
was stricken with heart disease and
fell dead in the lobby of the Gibson
House in Cincinnati, where he had
gone to buy goods.
The eighth gravestone was erected in
"Mattie Harkins's'' Cemetery, sad
the people Of Taylor County declared
that her husbands were the "dyinp-

This did not stop the focking Of

complaint that the handsome multi.
widow was stealing all the available
men. Mason Ayres, young saw.

Says Animals do Think.

An article printed recently in the
Eagle, which treated metaphysically
the question, "Do animals think, or
uot?" attracted the attention of Suf-
folk County, l.. l., farmer, and lover
of all in nature, and he answers the
question in the affirmative, as follows:
In order for man to know and un-
derstand his so-called brute fellow
creatures, he must live with them,
love them and win their confidence,
when he will soon marvel at the intel
ligence they exhibit and the half.hu-
man characteristics they evince and
wonder what would be their outgiv-
ings were they capable of communica.
ton OF what is passing in their brains,
through the power of speech. In my
experience with horses and dogs, es-
pecially, / have found that tn ~ think
sutii ciently to discriminate in their
action in regard to differing objects.
Let me give but one illustration Just
now:
'The first horse I ever owned was
given to me by my father, when the
animal was 5 years old. He was re.
covering from the disease then termed
distemper and required some little ex.
ira attention to help him recover tone
| apd condition. The quickness with
which he seemed to recognize my care
of him and its benefit interested me
greatly, and it was but short time
until loved him as we'll as l did any
member of my family, and better than
I did myself, for when circumstances
created the allotment of comfort and
discomfort between US, it was not him
who received the latter. He was met
tlesome and high spirited and soon be.
came restive if any one but myself
handled him, so that we became the
only two harmonious when he was
factor. In the farm work We were
ever together, and he so soon learned
the difference between corn hills and
weeds from my training that I noticed
him make short step to avoid tramp
ing on one Of the former. After a
while he was coupled in team with au-
other one of the farm horses which
had lost its eye sight through opthal-
mia or some such disease.
Every speedily my pet learned the
infrmity of his mate and leaned gent.
ly against him on the road, guiding
their travel together SO uniformly that
the ordinary observer never suspected
aught to be the matter with the eye
sight of either. When turned out to
pasture, the blind horse was kept be-
tween his mate, and the fences and
other animals were driven away when
approaching too near. The climax
was reached when the two were turned
out in field where there was wash
eut from recent rain. Soon after be-.
ing put into the field the blind horse
wandered so much toward the wsshout
that I was about to go after him to
turn him away. My amazement may
be imagined when I saw my beloved
pet trot over to his mate. pass around
on the weshout side of him, throw his
head over his withers and push him
away from danger. With such evi.
denoe, can there be any doubt of
thought and conclusion in horses, at
least?"-Brooklyn Eagle.
