Returning to state politics. The
League outing is generally the curtain
raiser for the ensuing Vermont cam
paign. True, there is some setting Of
scenery, some making up" some
stage earpentering done in advance,
but the lights are turned on, the or
chestra strikes up and the curtain
rises. disclosing the actors, with this
League outing. So there are always
plenty OF politicians on hand and
plenty OF politics in evidence at these
gatherings.
1t has been tacitly understood for
some time that Hon. Fletcher ID. Proc
tor of Proctor would be a candidate for
the Republican gubernatorial nomina-
ton next year. This has seemed
agreeable to a large number OF Repub-
licans who have assured him of their
support. Il has not been agreeable to
others. representing various elements,
who have been casting about for some
other candidate in opposition to Mr..
Proctor. But this effort has proved
unsuccessful, none OF those approached
conserving. The coalition, as such,
went to pieces in despair.
Finally, the chief political enemy OF
Mr.. Proctor, rather than see the nomi-
nation 90 to his rival by default, SHE'D
his own castor into the arena, On the
very morning OF the League meeting,
the Hon, p. w Clement OF Rutland
announced himself candidate, the
announcement Of course being timed
Tor the event. SO the contest will be
between Proctor and Clement, with
little prospect OF other candidates en-
tering.
Naturally, Mr.. Clements manifesto
came in for much comment. The
effect it would produce was freely can
vassed Mr.. Proctor was present with
the party and his friends were very
numerous and active. To Judge from
the almost general expression Of these
five hundred Vermonters from all
parts OF the state. Mr.. Clement will
not figure very heavily when the re-
turns come In. The sentiment was
Enthusiastically for Proctor. Whether
this is unrepresentatiye OF the body of
voters who stayed at home and
whether later developments will alter
the situation time will disclose. Ger
tainly, this first showing of strength
was very gratifying to the friends Of
Mr.. Proctor
Some little interest was shown in
the second place on the ticket. George

TRIED ON TRAIN
And GIVEN 7 YEARS
Jim Hale Who Had Been in
Jail Here, Had Quick Trial.
The Jury Was In the Baggage mr.,
and the Negro Pleaded Guilty
and Was Given the Limit.
1T ALL TOOK ONLY 3 MINUTES

Fulton, KY, Oct. 7.--One of the
quickest trials ever consummated in
this section was held on train No. 6
en- route to Cairo yesterday at 1:10
o'clock in which Jim Hale, the ne
gro boy arrested for attempted rape
near Clinton several weeks ago re
ceived a sentence of seven years in
the penitentiary, the largest sentence
the law allows for the crime.
The negro, who is but 16 years of
age, was carried TO Paducah for safe
keeping at the time of his arrest and
has been held at that place ever
since until cited for trial yesterday
before Judge Bugg.
The judge, who realized fully that
il the prisoner was carried to Clin-
ton he would be lynched, had him
brought to Fulton "Wednesday night
and arranged with the local !. G.
officials to have the negro placed on
the yesterdays afternoon train to
Cairo, the jury all being in the bag
gage car and everything arranged
for an immediate trial. As the train
pulled out for Clinton the boy plead
guilty and was given a sentence OF
seven years hard labor in the peni-
tertiary, the whole affair taking but
eight minutes for completion. This
beats all local records of short tri-
ais.
Hale, 1t will be remembered, had
been working on a farm near Gin.
ton, KY. and telling his employer
man named Wheezy, that someone
wanted to see him, had him go some
distance away, and then assaulted
the farmers daughter. She screamed
for help and man passing in a bug
gy ran to her assistance.
A posse caught Hale after trailing
him for many hours and mob star
ted to lynch him but was outwitted
by the sheriff, who drove from Clih'
ton to Columbus, Ky. The jailer at
Columbus refused to receive him on
account of reports of another mob
forming to come after him.
Sheriff Evans then drove to Pa
ducah in buggy with his prisoner,
who had been in jail here until Ia
ken away Wednesday night.

HORRIBLE DEATH
FOR |. G. FIREMAN
Driving Rods Of Engine Broke
and Demolished Cab.
Karl Crofton, Of Louisville, Had His
Neck Broken and Was Knocked
on the Engine.
ENGINEERS NARROW ESCAPE

Louisville. KY, Oct. death
came in sudden and awful form to
Karl Crofton, fireman on locomo-
tive passenger train of the Illinois
Central railroad, about a quarter OF
mile north of Rockport, Ky.
Crofton was in the cab of the en-
CINE, which was crossing twenty
five-foot trestle, when both sida rods
that drove the wheels became discon-
nected, and crashed UP through the
cab, striking Crofton and breaking
his neck He was lifted bodily out
of the cab by the rod and dropped
through the trestle, falling distance
of twenty-five feet to the ground be-
low. The train was stopped and the
body pickle up and taken to Central
City, from where it was brought to
Louisville.
Crofton was twenty-five years of
ago and lived at Louisville.
Engineer Henry Frisz, formerly of
Paducah, but now of Louisville. also
had a narrow escape.
The engine was running at rapid
rate when the driving rods broke,
and struck the cab occupied by the
engineer and flremen reduced 1t to
kindling wood, and broke the steam
guage on the engine filling the wreck
ed cab with steam that blinded the
occupants.
Though the engineer, Henry Frisz,
he'd IN httrs oJ hxr h, nil ,U
steam, he chung to his seat until he
stopped the train. the engine having
gone quite a distance on the ties
HIS presence of mind saved bad
wreck with great loss of life. Though
a large man, he pushed his way
through twelve-inch space, and was
found to be as wet as though expos
ed to a drenching rain. His escape
from death is considered marvellous.
