IN OUR OWN STATE
Free Love Preacher, Killed In the West,
Formerly at johnson,

at JonUbONs
While preaching the same free love
doctrine at Johnson in 1899 that led 10
his recent violent death in Seattle, Wash,
Edmund Crefiield, the self-styled Joshua
of the Holy Rollers, was horsewhipped
out of town by a posse of angry citizens.
At that time Crefield advocated many
of the indecencies that he afterward is
said to have practiced in the West, and
so great was the Indignation that was
aroused that before the camp meeting
was over the men Of Johnson organized,
proceeded to the grounds and there took
the latter-day Joshua while he was max
ing frantic effort to escape. A pot of
boiling tar and a huge bag of feathers
were taken by the party, but when the
men found Creffeld they forgot all about
the decorations and applied the lash for
two miles over the country roads. He
was whipped until he bled from many
wounds, but so badly outraged were his
prosecutors that they would not relent.
He was taken to the town boundary and
turned loose. Nothing further was heard
from him until the news of his killing at
the hands of George Mitchell in Seattle
reached Johnson recently. Mitchell's two
sisters had been led estray by Crefield.
Mitchell will probably be acquitted OF
the charge of murder,

Aggressive Party Platform Needed.
Mortified News

The Republican management cannot af-
ford to ignore Mr.. Clements candidacy
or treat it with ridicule. The thing to
do, as the News views the matter, is to
formulate a live, practical and aggressive
party platform. Give the voters issue
which If carried out will advance the ma
terial and political progress of the state,
And having avowed such a position show
an honest and unfaltering determination
to carry forward these declarations to
a successful termination.
With such a platform and the ability
and strength which Fletcher ID. Proctor,
as the head of the ticket, is capable of
exercising, the Republican party will gain
a victory in the September election that
will be worth while. The News refuses
to believe at this time that other than
the progressive element in the party will
dominate the convention next month.

sunOcated In Bathroom.

Barney S. Kemp. ST. was suffocated in
the bath room at his home in North
Adams Sunday. The body was found by
his wife on returning from church.
new water heating apparatus had been
Installed in the house. but the pipe for
ventilating the bath room had not been
attached. The heater absorbed the oxygen
in the room and caused Mr.. Kemp's death
from suffocation He evidently tried to
get out Of the tub but fell helpless before
he could reach the door.
L. w. Woodward, superintendent of the
North Adams gas works, went to the
Kemp mouse Monday evening to make an
experiment. He said he would remain
in the bath room where Mr.. Kemp died
for half an hour with the gas heater
lighted. In 25 minutes he indicated that
lie had had enough. He had to be carried
from the bath room to the porch and 1t
was half an hour before he revived Mr.
Kemp was his personal friend, and as he
recovered he said: Barney never suf-
fered. l never knew what was coming
until l was gone" He said, however,
that he had not been in the room long be-
fore he felt buzzing sensation in his
ears. The family may have an expert
chemist make an investigation of the
conditions of the heater, but men who
understand combustion say that it is n
simple question of no ventilation and the
exhaustion of the air by the heater

horse to a stable. He promised to have
the animal cared for After the first
