Special to The Journal. -
! Lake Linden, Mich, June e There is
under way at Red Jacket and Laurium
one Of the most unique campaigns ever
launched in the copper country. It is
an effort on the part Of the liquor deal
ers of the two villages to secure an
agreement whereby all the saloons will
close at II o'clock at night; in other
words, that the state closing law be rig
idly enforced.
p The leaders in the movement say that
II O'Clock at night is late enough fol
any man to work. They feel that If al
the saloons close then the business Of
none will suffer, and when tho sigma
lures of a majority are secured to thu
agreement the village officials will b.
asked to see that the closing law is en-
forced to the letter. -.

The sand pumps in use here are huge
rotary affairs, which pump sand and
water which, are then discharged thru
iron pipes about twenty inches in di-

here a month ago, and are kept at
work day and night.
The improvements will not be fin

employed and steam shovels and gravel

CASE OF JAMES OLIVER.
How a Victim of Fraud Won Out With
Pistol.

This Is a curious case-what news
paper people call a human interest
case-of James oliver, at Wichita,
Kansas, says the Richmond Leader.
oliver was a farmer In Iowa and sixty
odd years old and in the course Of an
industrious and sober life had acquired
twenty thousand dollars and a family.
Attracted by an advertisement, he
went to Wichita to see ]. A. Casey,
head of a wholesale candy firm, who
wanted a partner ito extend the busi-
ness" Glowing prospects were pre-
sented to oliver and he was referred
to Mr.. Niftzgar, president Of the Fourth
National Bank, as sponsor for the
firms standing. The firm was help
lessly and hopelessly in debt to the
bank, but oliver didn't know that.
Niftzgar enthusiastically advised the
farmer to invest his twenty thousand
in the candy firm. oliver trusted his
advice, sold his farm, moved his fam
lily to Wichita, invested his money and
in a month or two found that he was
part Of an insolvent concern and that
his farm and all the other gatherings
of his lifetime Of work had gone to
help reduce the losses Of the Fourth
National Bank.
He was a man Of plain and simple
ways and direct ideas Of justice. He
went to see Casey, put the case be-
fore him, pleaded pitifully for the re-
turn of at least enough of his money
to get his family back to Iowa and
make a new start. Casey stared at
him insolently and burst into a laugh.
Then oliver reached around, produced
a revolver and shot Casey dead as he
sat, the sneering smile on his face
transformed to the fixed, fearful grin
of death In which the upper lip draws
away from the upper teeth as If in a
final ghastly grin at all life and all
there Is in 1t.
1t was murder Of course-cold-
blooded, premeditated murder as any
Judge would be bound to rule, the TAX
ing Of a human life with malice afore-
thought Nevertheless, a Kansas ju-
ry in about five minutes, having heard
all the evidence gave verdict Of mot
guilty" They said 1t was emotional
insanity. What they meant was

served Casey right" oliver went
Free
Now, was that right or wrong? We
would like to know from somebody.
oliver violated the law as 1t Is writ
ten and the other man had the law
as It is written behind him. He had
referred the investor to this bank and
the bankers advice had been taken.
But he had deliberately ruined the
life and destroyed the hope and blast
ed the fortunes and future of an hon.
est, industrious, good citizen and
laughed at his plea for redress.
A few weeks ago oliver appeared
again-shabby, half starved, too old
to work. his family in rags and hunger
about him. memories of the peace and
plenty and hope of his Iowa farm and
Of how he had lost them working in
his brain. He saw the banker Niftzgar,
pointed out that he had recommended
the investment in the candy enterprise,
besought some restitution and grimly
reminded him Of the Casey incident.
Naftzgar did not laugh. He had learn
ed too much from Casey for that. He
was smooth and plausible and made
another appointment and then had OIL
yer arrested and locked in Jail as a
suspicious and dangerous person and
to be examined as to his sanity. He
used his influence and the cowardly
newspapers kept the affair quiet, but
somebody talked. Little by little the
news went around. The newspapers
continued silent. What pack Of abb
ject hounds they must be in Wichital
Hand bills were sent out and last
Friday evening the court house was
packed with free, wholesome American
men and women, gathered in public
mass meeting. They expressed their
opinion of the president of the Fourth
National Bank and his course and pro-
ceedings and of the acts of the local
authorities in good strong, English
words. The next morning Oliver was
released and, 1t is understood. carried
with him check sufficient, at least,
to keep the wolf from his door and TO
start him on another farm.
This, too, was outside the law. It
was something like mob law and lynch
law-which is no law at all-and al
together wrong according to the stat
utes. 1t is a bed example and II soma
body will write an article and show US
how fiagrantly wrong 1t was we will
be glad to print the article.
Nevertheless, we confess to thinking
a good deal more Of Wichita, Kan.
and its people than ever before. If
murder and threat and public uprising
ever can be justified. 1t seems to US
there is Justification in this case.
