In answer to a summons Geo. B.
Mcpherson, the well-known breeder
of Herefords, and located at Here
ford, this county, appeared before
United States Commissioner Nelson,
at Deadwood, on last Friday to
answer the charge preferred against
him of having fenced several thous-
and acres OF government land. Mr..
Mcpherson waived examination and
gave bonds in the sum of $500 for his
appearance at the next session of the
federal court. Mcpherson declares
that he has not an acre OF govern
ment land under fence but that GER
tain parties are merely keeping up a
long and persistent attempt to do
him injury. Special agents from
Rapid have visited his ranch at times
within the past year or two, and
failed to find that he was violating
the law as regards enclosing public
lands. Mr.. Mcpherson nearly a year
ago informed the Press that his
fences did place a number of govern
ment acres in a pocket" but that
there IA no illegal enclosing OF such
lands. He has a lease on a school
section, and which tract together
. -,
with his own holdings are so situated
that to enclose his own and leased
lands involves also the enclosing
wholly or in part of a tract of rough
government land. Mr.. Mcpherson
is a mar of good judgment, he knew
that there was trouble likely to fol-
low, and il he considered himself
liable he would long ago have placed
himself on the safe side by promptly
taking down any fences which he
might have put up for the purpose
OF shutting out free access to the
lands OF the government. -Sturgis

1t was about three o'clock in the

watch the rushing current, carrying
timber, parts Of wrecked houses, ard
many other Indications Of its destruc-
tive power; but had come 10 the
Buckeye state for another purpose. and
was anxious to reach my destination
an hour or two before dark.
I intended to visit friend, Fred
Andersen, whose acquaintance | had
made in the East He was a fine
specimen OF western youth, and very
soon we felt drawn to each other, mu-
tual confidence cementing our friend
ship. He often told me Of the Old
homestead on the Ohio, his mother,
long dead, and the queer notions Of
hisnsather. Old MIR. Andersen once
ha lawsuit through the trick
ersf an attorney, and since that time
co.lLemned all lawyers.
Fred had an elder brother, Henry, a
scapegrace, who had grieved his father
a great deal. Once, when the fathers
patience gave out, he handed Henry
several thousand dollars, and told him
never again to show his face in the
old home. The son took the money,
roamed through the world, and came
back penniless but proud, even boast
ing of the wild life he had led and
the sinful way In which he had wasted
his money. Then the father bought
him a small farm. not far from the
homestead, and gave him to under
stand that he would be disinherited,
having received his share. The sons
ewes shone with an evil light, when
thus informed, but he dared not rebuke
his stern father.
Now, however, there was dinerent
state Of affairs. A few weeks ago
Fred had sent me letter, stating that
he wished very much to have me come
and see him.

IOGO'S FLAGSHIP
GOES T0 BOTTOM.

TOKYO, Sept. 12.-The battleship Mi
kasa, which carried the flag of Admiral
Togo through all the great naval fights
of the war with Russia, was lost in
Sesabo Harbor yesterday, with 500
men. The vessel caught fire at mid
night Sunday. The crew and several
boatloads of sailors from other ships
fought the fire desperately for two
hours and a half trying to rescue the
officers, who were imprisoned in their
quarters by the flames.
At half past two the fire reached the
aft magazine, which exploded, blow
ing great hole in the port side of the
ship and causing her to sink. The
dead iuclude about 400 of the officers
and crew of the Mikasa, the other 100
being rescuers from other ships of the
feet. The total complement of the
vessel is 935, but more than half of the
crew were enjoying their first leave of
absence since the war began. Admiral
Heihachero, the commander in. chief of
the feet, was ashore at the time of the
disaster.

Powder Mill Horror.

FAIRcHANCE. PA, Sept. 9th.-The
Rand Powder mills, six miles south of
Uniontown, have been entirely wiped
out by an explosion. Ofthe thirty two
men who went to work in the mills
nineteen are known to be dead. OF
these thirteen have been identified.
Scores of people in the town of Fair
chance, within half mile of the pow
der mills, were more or less painfully
injured.
The shock of the explosion was dis.
tinctly felt in Connelisville, twenty
miles away, buildings being rocked on
their foundations At Uniontown hun.
dreds of panes of glass were broken
In the town of Fairchance there is
scarcely house that did not suffer
damage
There were seven explosions in all.
Every one of the ten buildings were
totally demolished. Not vestige of
them remains. The dismembered parts
of the dead were burned in many in
stances. Identification of many was
made by parts of clothing alone. The
first three explosions were not as ser.
ious as the last four. Then the pack
ing house, pressing room and maya
zine blew up, followed by two cars of
dynamite standing on a nearby rail
roBd siding, which were set off by the
concussion from the powder mill ex-
plosions.

Dear Sir: 1t costs two or three times

Do you buy good paint or poor? You

Mr.. EDTTOR.-

hh. IDllOft,
What do you think of the generosity
of a father, who, after leaving his two
little children to the care of charity for
over one year, actually refuses to allow
his children 25c worth of bananas and
crackers, from the store where he re-
ceives his pay $500 per day? Such
kindness as this is surely shame. II
he ever rises won't he surely be damn
ed?
