Abandoned farms are evidences OF
lack of skill and industry on the part
OF their former occupant, maintains the
Agricultural Epitonist. The fact that
some of these farms have been made
profitable demonstrates that the others
were abandoned because Of the induce
ments in other directions to individuals
who could not make the farms pay
more than for lack of capacity to the
soil.

JUDGE EXONERATES BAXTER;
SAYS HE WAS JUSTIFIED
McMahan Declares that Motorman
Thought the Motive Robbery and
Had the Right to Shoot to Prevent
Escape of Assailants.

What is described by the attorney
for the prosecution as a foolish at
tempt on the part of Neff and Bill
ings to secure the conviction of
Motorman Baxter for shooting Neff
in order that a compromise might be
effected that would result in release
of the defendants with a minimum
fine, fell through completely when
Judge McMahan ordered the dis
charge of Baxter on the grounds that
he was justified in doing what he
did under the circumstances.
In his decision Judge McMahan
said: After Baxter had been MUIR
derously assaulted by his assailants
he was of the opinion that the motive
was robbery and had the right to
| take the measures he did to prevent
the escape of the assailants." Mr.
MeAleer, for the defendants, argued
that the judge was not acting within
| the law, but was advised that he
could take the case before another
Judge if he was not satisfied with
| McMahan's decision The Judge said
that he was acting conscientiously
in the matter and did not believe that
there was a jury in the whole coun-
try that would convict Baxter, under
the circumstances, for shooting Neff
Neff and Billings were bound over
to the superior court and will be
compelled to furnish $500 bonds

TOUGHS RUN RIOT
IN SOUTH CHICAGO

Three street car loads of Congre-
gational Sunday school pupils of
East Chicago, on their way home
from Jackson park. where they had
been attending a picnic yesterday
were mobbed by a crowd of South
Chicago hoodlums at 106th street
and besides injuries that were re-
eeived by several members of the par
ty, number of them had their
clothes ruined
As the cars were at the corner of
106th and Ewing avenue, they were
suddenly bombarded with a hail of
stones and mud from the hands Of
the mob of young toughs who follow
ed the car. Several of the stones
went through windows and hit the
children on the car, and handful af-
ter handful of mud was thrown
through the open windows and upon
the clothing of the passengers.
Mr., Van Auken the Congrega-
tional minister, called upon the con-
ductor TO put stop TO the fulisade
of stone and mud. but the only reply
was the statement that this was a
usual oeourance in that part of the
city
The East Chicago people are very
/ indignant over the affair and will
try TO place the responsibility some
where and obtain redress. They are
of the opinion that it ought to be
/ possible in a city like Chicago. to
ride through the streets in a public
conveyance without being subject &c
such indignities.

candidate for democratic nomina-

Mr.. Conn says he has retired from
politics He believes. however, the
state will go democratic two years
