DEATH REMOVES TWO.
Two Young People Pass Away Within
Two Hours Of Each Other.


ATHEY-SwIcK Sunday MORN
ing, June 3, 1906, Elijah Howard
Athey, and Alta Swick died at
Gates, twenty-miles north of
Broken Bow. Miss Swick who
was II years old was taken sick
last Wednesday noon AMI Howard
Athey was taken sick on the
following Friday noon.
The morning following the
day of taking sick each became
unconscious and remained so UNI
til their death.
They both had the same symp-
toms, severe vomiting and re-
manned in great agony until
death relieved them.
When taken sick both were at
the home of Stillman Gates, but
Miss Swick was taken home.
Howard Athey was farming
the Gates place and Miss Swick,
who lived close by went over to
help with the house work as her
grandmother was sick.
That they ate something that
poisoned them is generally con-
ceeded. They eat of canned
corn and pickles either of which
may have contained the poison.
Three doctors we're called,
Wamsley, of West Union, Fence
maker, of Sargent, and Penning-
ton, of Broken Bow. The two
former pronounced it poison, but
neither were able TO relieve the
patients. DR.. Pennington held
that it was spinal trouble.
cerebro.spinal meningitis.
The pickles of which they had
been eating were preserved in
vinegar made of acid.
The theory of the poison from
eating the pickles is more gener-
ally believed as both vomited
pickles, but when DR.. Penning-
ton saw them they were not
vomiting but were in great
agony.
Miss Swick was taken sick two
days before Athey and died about
two hours before he died, at 7:40
a. m. He was the son of Mr.,
and Mrs. w. B. Athey of this
city and had grown to manhood
in the county. He with his
parents had been residents of the
county "a years. He was highly
respected by all who knew him.
His remains were brought to the
city Monday and the funeral held
Tuesday at 2:30 in the M. E.
church. Rev. Chamberlain
preached the sermon. His re-
mains were laid to rest in the
Broken Bow cemetery. He
leaves parents, five brothers and
one sister to mourn his death.
Miss Swick was the daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Oliver Swick of
Gates, and was highly esteemed
by all who knew her. She was
buried in the Gates cemetery
Monday. Rev. Mitchell, pastor
of the Presbyterian church of
this city preached the funeral.
The REPUBLICAN joins the
many friends in extending SYM
pathy to the bereaved families in
their great sorrow.

TWO WATERBURY FEDS.
They Will Be in the Next Six Day
 Bicycle Race at New York.

Waterbury is to have two repre- sentatives in the next six day bicycle race In Madison Square garden. They are Jimmy Lango and his partner. Rocco caniellfero. Both are In train ing daily for the event and expect to be in at the finish when the money is divided. Lango is one of Water bury's best bicycle riders and has been in the saddle for many years. Years ago when the first race meet ing was given here he showed his speed by defeating some of the best of the local cracks who were members of the now defunct Waterbury Wheel club. There was dispute at the time over awarding him the prize. but the secretary of the meeting upheld Langos claim and an appeal was taken to the high authorities and the decision of the secretary was sustain ed.
 The two local riders will be known as America's ltalina team and every day they speed fifty to one hundred miles between this city and other places. To-day they flew to Bridge port, and by the time the race is call ed in New York they will be in fine form for the contest. They know they are going up against some of the greatest racers in the world, but they feel that they have as good a chance as any of them. If Lango can get back into his old form and if his part ner Is just as full of stamina there is no doubt but that Waterbury will be heard from in that six day race.

Strength of English War Horses In
 the Days of Henry Will.

Strength of English War Horses Tn
 the Days of Henry v1II.
 The size of the English war horse reached it's maximum in the reign of Henry VIII, when the relations of body armor to "hand guns" were anal 'ogous to those of the early ship armor and cannon. There was good reason to believe, says the London Spectator, that by adding little to the thickness of rie coat of steel the soft, low ve- locity bullet of the day could be kept out. So 1t was for time. But the additional weight required still larger horse to carry 1t. The charger had to be armored as well as his rider, and the collection in the Tower of Lon don shows the actual weight which 1t carried. The panoply of Charles Bran don, Duke of Suffolk. the brother-in- law of Henry VIII. still exists. That of the horse covers the whole of the hind quarters the back of the neck, forehead. muzzle,, ears. shoulders and chest. It is exactly like piece of boiler plating and fastened by rivets.
 The rider sat in saddle, the front of which was steel shield ton Inches high. covering the stomach and thighs as the "breastwork" on an ironclad's deck covers the base of the turret. The total weight is eighty pounds fifteen ounces. To this add the weight of the riders armor, ninety-nine pounds nine ounces, and of the rider himself, say sixteen stone (224 pounds). and the to- tai Is twenty eight stone twelve pounds eight ounces. or 4O4 pounds ounces. This bears out Holllnshead's statement that in the days of Henry vIII..

 His disappearance is serious men ace to personages whose lives the ter rorists are now seeking, as he is a skilled organizer and one of the most remarkable men the revolution has produced.

He was sent to the silver mines at Aatui, Siberia. when the Schlusselburg for tress was closed as prison for poii- tical offenders February 13.

 This is the statement of one of the
