AFTER LONG FREEDOM
Nearo CeayiCi Who Escaped f0ur Years
AGO Is Recdptured.

In August. 1900. John Harmon. q
county convict guard was conveying
a party of four negro convicts to a
road gang In the southern part of
the county. The negroes were Jim
Davis. Gus Sander, Kid Taylor and
one named Eckford. The negroes
were being conveyed TO the road
camp in a wagon, and when few
miles from the city they attacked the
guard. overpowering him and reliey-
ing him of his gun. In the struggle
Ia fearful manner by the conyicts
After the negroes had made their es-
cape Harmon went to a farm house
nearby, secured shotgun and
started in pursuit. AT one time he
was close enough to the fleeing
negroes to fire upon one of them
but at that time it was not known il
any of the shots took effect
The officers had never entertained
a thought of recapturing any of the
fugitives, but few days ago Sheriff
M!nniek received message from
Shreveport stating that Jim Davis
had been recaptured there Mr..
Minnick left at once for that city, and
lreturned Saturday with his prisoner.
Davis was tipped off to the Shreve-
| por officers by another negro,
In the fall after the negroes made
their escape the skeleton OF a man
was found in the creek bottom near
where Harmon was overpowered.
Al the time the theory was suggest
/ ed that the skeleton was that OF one
| of the negroes, Davis has made a
statement to the sheriff, confirming
this theory, saying that the skeleton
found was that of Gus Sander. He
did not say how Sander met his
death but 1t is supposed that he was
killed by a shot fired by Harmon.

OPINION BY BO0KHOUT
Act OF Legislature Creating Dis
trict of Hunt, Delta and Lamar
Decided by the Court to BE
Unconstitutional.

An opinion delivered Saturday by
Judge John Bookout in the court Of
civil appeals of the Fifth District
of Texas in the matter of the Gulf
Colorado and Santa F'e Railway com
pany VS.. G. F. Martin, appealed
from the Sixty-second district court,
the case was reversed and remand
ed and the court itself declared to
be unconstitutional in its existence.
The opinion was from a unani-
nous court. The court thus de-
elared unconstitutional is presided
over by Judge T. d. Montrose OF
Greenville, and embraces Hunt, DeE-
Ia and Lamar counties
Several months ago Martin brought
suit against the railroad company
for damages for alleged failure on
the part of the railroad company 10
provide and maintain a passenger
depot at Ambia. Lamar county, and
the lower court gave him verdict
for $500. The case was carried up
on writ of error.
In this the constitutionality of the
act creating the court was raised,
not by assignment of error, but was
suggested in the briefs as a funda-
mental error The act, which is
chapter So. general laws of the
Twenty Legislature, was ap-
proved March ~. 1903 II provides
for the holding of one term OF the
court in Delta county in the year
The higher court holds that the con-
stitution. in article 5. section 7, re-
quires that a district judge shall
hold at least two regular terms OF
court during the year
The act further prohibits the i'm
paneIing of grand jury or forming
of jury In Delta county, and forbids
Icognizance of criminal matters ex-
cept habeas corpus in that county.
All these provisions the higher court
holds to be unconstitutional. and so
the act itself is annulled.
In 1908 the court was formed of
the three counties named in order
To relieve the docket in Hunt and
Lamar counties. and Delta was taken
in because il lay between the other
TWO and was necessary to make the
counties contiguous.
Delta and Hunt will return to
the old connection with the eighth
district court and Lamar viii be
again a part of the sixth.

No PUNISHMENT can be too severe
for the defaulting president of the
First National Bank of Milwaukee.
In the history of crime there is no
record of parallel case, and he richly
deserves all he will get and more.
Sympathy is wasted on him. But
just in proportion as the thief is to be
unsparingly condemned, SO are the
directors who came to the front in the
crisis and saved the bank entitled to
unstinted praise. When they brought
their private fortunes to the rescue Of
the bank they were liable legally only
for the amount of the stock each held
and no more. That they chose to
waive their legal rights and to con-
slider moral obligation more binding
than legal one, makes their action
all the finer. The directors of the
bank have certainly done all in their
power to restore the public confidence
in the integrity and stability Of this
institution.

GETS A BLACK EYE
Municipal Store for the Supply
of Food to the Paupers Will
Probably Be Closed.
END OF UNIQUE EXPERIMENT

The municipal store of Kenosha
which has drawn to the city the eyes
of followers of municipal ownership
IN all parts of the country is a thing
of the past, and the little store of ex-
Alderman Jacobs has lost its interest
to municipalities and has degener-
ated into just the common corner
store SO common in Kenosha and
other cities.
The former alderman who did so
much to tighten the pauper bills of
the Kenosha city council is now out of
his Office and his last report has been
filed with the city clerk. With this
report he has turned over the balance
of the city funds in his keeping and
the city poor committee will now have
chance to work out some new plan
for caring for the paupers.
The municipal store idea which was
most unique one in the management
of the great question of caring for
municipal poor was given its borning
by Alderman Jacobs during his open
ing months in Office and by its man
agernent the former alderman from
the Seventh ward managed to save the
city several thousands of dollars in
the few years he was in office. Added
to this the fact should be stated that
his management has resulted in the
number of paupers securing aid from
the city being cut in two.
It is more than nroha HE that 4t,e
city will now return to the old plan of
buying the supplies for the paupers
at the different stores of the city. 1t
has been suggested that the municipal
store idea be continued and that the
city utilize one of the rooms in the
Washington Home as a store but it is
not probable that this idea will be
carried out.
The municipal store was a distinct
success from the standpoint of the
taxpayer but it is claimed by some of
the aldermen who have recently come
into the council that the paupers have
not been given the best of food, and
in the future it is supposed that they
will be fed on bread and honey.
In retiring from this work ex-A1der-
man Jacobs is entitled to the credit
for the success of the store and he
should have the praise of every tax
payer for the work which has been
done. 1t is to be regretted that this
advanced idea for caring for city
paupers is not to be continued.

Masons of City Gather Saturday
Evening to Dedicate New
Home on South Street.
GRAND LODGE OFFICERS HERE
All of the Lodges in Kenosha County
Represented at the Simple Cere-
monies Marking the Opening
of the New Home.

! Saturday night was red letter
night in the history of the Masonic
:! lodges in Kenosha, for at that time
the new Masonic home at the corner
Of South street and Ashland avenue
was formally dedicated.
| More than two hundred Masons
from different parts of the state and
from Northern Illinois gathered to at
tend the ceremonies, and among the
members present we're the officers of
the state grand lodge.
The dedication ceremonies were ar
ranged only for the members of the
lodges in Kenosha county, and it was
arranged to make the gathering in
the way of Masonic family reunion.
The ceremonies of the evening
opened with a banquet, served by the
members of the Kenosha Chapter of
the Eastern Star. The long tables,
which we're set IN the dining room at
the home, we're charming1y decorated
with ferns and flowers and covers
were laid for more than two hundred.
After the dinner was over the mem
bers and the visitors retired to the
lodge room on the second floor of the
building, where the dedication SER
vices took place. The services were
under the direction of the grand
lodge officers, but Worshipfu1 Master
Walter Frost, Of the Kenosha lodge,
acted as master of ceremonies.
| After the ritualistic work had been
carried out short addresses were
made by the grand officers and by
several of the members of the visiting
lodges. The evenings program ended
with a social reunion.
The new home is one of the pretti-
est Masonic homes owned by any
lodge in the state, and it promises to
give the Masons a new prestige
among the fraterna1 orders of the
city.
The old Allen homestead has been
entirely remodeled and rebuilt so that
it is admirably adapted to the uses of
the order.
The basement rooms of the build
ing have been fitted up as the living
quarters of the family of the steward
in charge of the home and as bill
lard room.
On the second floor there are recep-
| ton rooms and library and a club
room for the use of the members. The
reception rooms are prettily fur
nished in mahogany and birds eye
maple, while the club room is done in
oak. The walls of the rooms have
been artistical1y decorated with many
pictures of prominent members of the
Kenosha lodge.
The entire second floor of the build.
ing is given over to the uses of the
lodge for a lodge room. This room
has been furnished with leather up
holstered davenports and move is
now on foot to secure new set OIL
chairs for the officers.
