THE RUSSIAN PEASANTS WAGE
Blows and Kicks, Rather than
RubleS, are the Reward for
His Labor in the Fields.

The Cossack who figures in Ernest
Poole's remarkable article. Peasant
Cattle, in the October Everybody's,
treats the subject or peasant labor in
the following brisk fashion:
The dirty Russian peasants come
over the steppe in tine spring 10 do our
blowing and then again for the har-
vest. He is very cheap. this peasant.
All he needs IL Dlack bread to eat while
he works, and the lash TO keep him
from going asleep, and then when the
work is oveI-why the boot instead of
tine ruSle. So home he plods like
stupid COW in the ram.
sometimes these cattle dare to go
to our Cossack Judge and complain
when they get no pay. But our judge
is SLY old fellow. He just smiles and
asks them for The written contract.
OF course the peasant has none. Then,
go, says the judge, perhaps in the
verbal contract he promised you only
sixteen Iashes and twenty kicks for the
harvest work That's what he tells
me, and | think he's more honest than
you are. SO stop your growing and
go on holner And ii the peasant still
stands on one foot scOwlIng and
scratching his head, then often the
clerk jumps up and cries: ON, don t
ne so selfish Give MIN fifty kicks
Then the peasant turns and gallOps

A sensational shooting occurred
Monday night at about IL O'Clock, ON
North Main street in front of ]. j.
Elan office, in which Matthews
Gordon received two bullets from q
pistol fired by W. j. fowler. Many
people were awake and about the
streets at the time and as the eight
shots sounded in rapid succession there
was considerable excitement.
The affair has been almost the sole
subject of conversation Tuesday
and not only the incidents leading i'm
mediately up to the shooting, but the
trouble which has existed between tue
two men for several years past has
been discussed.
MR.. TOWLER'S STATEMENT.
MIR. fowler was seen by a Herald
representative Tuesday morning, and
while ne was loath TO give out any state
ment for publication he was persuaded
that in Justice to himself he had best
state the facts in a general way.
He said he had been to the Elk S Club
and had started home. MessIs. Fred
Gamble and Tom Digger were with
him, and as they got in front OF the
Betheli MIR. Gamble stopped to speak
to an acquaintance. That he walked
on to the 6ethell corner with Mr.. Dug
ger and the two waited there for MI.
Gamble to catch up. That while they
were waiting Mr.. Gordon came out
the front entrance of the Bethel and
stopped near them. In few minutes
MIR. Gamble Joined them and the three
started RcIosS the street toward the
Post Office Looking back, Mr.. Tow
lei says he saw MI. Gordon following,
ana his suspicious were aroused, and
calling the attention of his companions
to the matter. ne asked them to stop and
see what Matthews was up TO. That
they waited on the Post Office corner
ana Matthews passed them and walked
on up the street, apparently stopping
in one Of the dooIways near the Maury
National Bank. That he discussed the
matter with his companions, told them
that Matthews was PROBABLY be Mt on
trouble, and that he himself was I'M
armed. They offered to wait for him
while he went to his Office back of the
Bethel, to get his pistol; so he got the
weapon and stuck it inside the front
waistband of his trousers. That he
parted from his companions within a
home and had gone only a few yarGs
when he saw Matthews leave the door
way where he had stopped and pass
around the corner at the Farmers ~
Merchants Bank. Approaching the
corner very cautiously MI. fowler says
ne saw Matthews Walking across near
the Mitchell. Ashley corner and looking
hack. That Matthews walked on down
North Main street and stopped near
the side entrance to the fowler resi-
ence and turned pack. That he (Towlerl
was in front of the Democrat office
by that time and the two met just at the
lower side of theDemOcrat Office and both
hesitated. That Matthews said don
move. I've got you now, and reached
for his pistol That he was too close
to turn hack. so he pulled his own pistol
and fired five times IN rapid succession,
circllng around toward the entrance

to read. That he found the store closed
and was returning, and had reached
the MITCHELL Ashley Harware Co., and
while he probably saw fowler, was
not thinking of any trouble until he
heard a pistol shot and felt bullet
strike his light side. That he grabbed
the pistol OF his Opponet and caused the
second shot to go wild, but the third took
effect. He says that ne TOOK the pistol
away from fowler. and that fowler
