TO THE VOTERS OF
MAURY COUNTY

nave DSeu duNISCu anu uISSu ny
many of my friends in various parts
of Maury county to answer by circular
letter the slanderous accusations
heaped upon me by my independent
opponent for Circuit Court Clerk in a
speech in the court house on the first
Monday in this month
| feel, however, that an answer to
the slanderous. attack made by Mr.
.Worley on my personal character is
not necessary. That the people
of Maury county, among whom it has
been my good fortune to make my
home for the past fifty years, know
my past life and will not only not be
led to believe these. vile accusations
: but will answer them in no uncertain
manner at the polls on August End.
/ Mr. Worley charges, however, Tin his
Bill Witherspoon letter., that in the
late democratic primary I took occa-
sion to SANDER and traduce his repu-
tation, and by foul accusations of every
kind caused the democrats of old
Maury to vote in large numbers
against him. Now, gentlemen, | wish
to say to you with all the earnestness
iof my nature, that there is not only not
a word of truth in that statement, but
the contrary is true; for / absolutely
refused to impart any knowledge to
any one concerning his private life,
though | was besieged on every side
by citizens, who urged that l tell them
something concerning the reports cur
rent throughout the county as to his
wrong-doing. To all of these | had
but one answer: that / knew nothing
of my personal knowledge of the truth
fulness of these reports, and even If
did know, l could not retain my self
respect should l defame mans char
acter behind his back. Hundreds of
men came to me in the primary seek
ing information along this line, and
steadfastly refused to lower myself to
this method of campaigning, even
when l knew that a word from me
would change the man to my support.
Though the SANDER heaped upon
me by my opponent in his recent ut
have wounded me deeply, |
and have caused many of my friends |
to urge that | make use of facts that !
have come to my knowledge, | am of |
the same opinion still, and will leave |
the people to judge me by my record |
and judge my opponent by the life he /
has led and is leading, and decide in
all fairness between us.
A. J. (GOV.) NICHOLS,
Democratic Nominee for Circuit Court
Clerk of Maury County.
P. S:-Since writing the above | am
informed that Mr.. Worley and
his emissaries are circulating the re-
port all over the county that | am not
A supporter of Gen. Patterson, the
Democratic nominee for Governor. To
Ill who might be influenced by this
| will state that during the
30 years that | have been exercising

nothing but the straight Democratic

support for Governor; and any state

KICK PuNcTuRED BOWELS.
Friendly seuffIe Causes Death Of c. c.
Clarke, Of Rock Island.


Special 10 Times Republican.
Davenport, Aug. 11-A friendly kick
On the stomach was the peculiar cause
of G. C. Clarke death. He was Rock
Island painter, and passed away in St.
Anthony's hospital. Last Wednesday,
while Clarke and a companion named
David Wood, the latter of Hillsdale,
were in Thierman's saloon in Rock Is
land, they got into a scuffle after Wood
had twitted Clarke regarding the
length and cut of his whiskers. Dur
ing the argument Wood pushed his
foot into Clarke's stomach.
Witnesses of the incident do not
seem to have noticed that there was
sny hard feeling shown by the men,
and the kick that Wood handed to
Clarke seems to have been regarded
as evidencing a playful disposition,
simply.
Nothing was done about it, and
Clarke, did not seem much the w,rse
for 1t till Thursday, when he was
taken sick After he died, an autopsy
showed that his bowels had been per-
forated by the kick and that gangrene
had set in and was responsible for his
death.
Wood had not been arrested this
morning, but it was intimated that
he might be after an inquest had been
held.

SEEK HIDDEN GOLD

In Log Hut at Fairfield May Lead to
Discovery of Buried Treasure, Worth
$4,000.

Fairfield Aug. 1.-THE finding of a
mouldy purse in an old log cabin here
NAV lead to the discovery of a hidden
treasure supposed to be of about $1O,-
900 in value.
The money is supposed to have been
buried by the Indian chief Blackhawk.
and to have been paid his tribe by the
government in return for lands
Pioneers say they remember wildly
that three Indians who were appointed
10 bury this money We're killed in an
Indian war soon afterwards. The story
is also told of stranger with much
money who suddenly disappeared east
of town many years ago.
The log cabin in which the letter and
map are purported to have been found
was erected in 1888 by Rhodham Bon
nifield. and was being moved to Fair
field by the old settlers association for
permanent location.
The letter is dated at Sam Francisco
in 1856, and is signed u. w." but who
this may be is not known. The map
is a small diagram drawn in the letter
giving some house, believed to be the
Bonnifield cabin, as a starting point,
and showing the treasure as being bur-
led 400 feet kW3y.
1t also shows where all previous at
tempts to locate the money have been
made. In the purse were also clip
ping from a newspaper printed in 1928
and formula for making bitters. The
letter is so faded that not all was de-
cipherable.

affidavits; i'm an effort to secure a PEN
sion.
The pension examiners have spent
four wears on the case and upon their
advice Deputy United States Marshal

The matter was turned over to the

they began to look up the war record
Of Sarlue! CARRIER. They discovered
that he had died in a hospital at Keo-

ton. No record of any other Samuel
CARRIER could be found in that COM
pany.
But fearing to make charges with
out accommodating evidence, pension
examiners visited Wilton Junction and
talked with the old relatives OF Sam
uel Gapber. They got affidavits from
brothers and sisters to the effect that
the body of the real Samuel CARRIER
had been brought back from the war
and that he was buried at Wilton
Junction after having been fully rec
ognized by them.
But Samuel CARRIER, the second, is
fortified with evidence to strengthen
his claim for a pension He bears let
tiers from many of the old comrades of
the first Samuel CARRIER, which would
seem to establish him as member of
the military company. But the PEN
sion examiners allege that these old
comrades have never seen this Samuel
CARRIER and 1T would be an easy mat
ter for some of them, not knowing of
the death of Samuel CARRIER to answer
letters bearing his signature.
The accused man is 70 years of age.
He hurried right back to Otto as soon
as he was released on bonds. He was
accompanied here by his son-in-law.
Mr.. CARRIER has been resident of Otto
for twenty-five years and during that
time he has been known as Samuel
CARRIER. He refused to discuss his
case, preferring to wait for his trial.
