Chris buPmaster Returns Home
After 81 Years Absence
WAS MOuRNED FOR YEARS As DEAD
SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN MAS
SACRED IN SOUTH DAKOTA
YEARS AGO.

BURLINGTON, Ia, Sept. 19.-Should
the original pioneer of Iowa rise from
his grave and be seen walking the
streets of Darlington he would cause
little more surprise than did Chris
Burmaster yesterday, when he return
ed to this city after an absence of
fifty-one years. 1t is a strange story
believes.
Fifty-one years ago Mr.. Burmaster
was II years of age, working on farm
near this city, He became discouraged
at his prospects, and, without saying a
word to his family or anybody else, he
disappeared. There was little oppor-
tunity to trace him in those days, and
after many anxious days and weeks
and month, his relatives came to the
conclusion that he was lost to them
forever, probably dead.
Time went on and no word came
from the missing man. Then, about
twenty years ago, his name appeared
among the victims Of a South Da-
kota Indian massacre, and it was TAX
EN- for granted that he was dead.
He has brothers and sisters, grown
to old age, living in Burlington, and
their surprise was complete when the
brother who disappeared fifty-one
years ago, walked in on them and an
nounced that he was Chris Burmaster.
The brothers and sisters had little diff
ficulty in recognizing him, and there
was a genuine reunion of what re-
mains of the family.
Mr.. Burmaster explained that after
leaving his job on the farm fifty-one
years ago he went into the wilds of
what is now South Dakota, where he
took up a farm. He succeeded after
a long struggle in putting himself in
comfortable circumstances, and then
he married. With his wife and family
he went to Los Angeles to live, and
there he has since lived a retired life.

UphoIds Horticultural Laws,

Judge Rigg last week overruled a de-
murrer to the answer of the defendants
in an action brought by K. w. Stafford
against F. c. Huntley, state horticu.-
tural inspector, says the Yakima Re-
public.
The complaint in the action alleges
that part of a carload of fruit consign-
ed to a North Dakota point by Stafford
and others, was condemned and de-
stroyed by the defendants. Suit was
brought on the grounds that such ac-
ton on the part of the defendants
although in accordance with the state
horticultural laws, was not protected
by the federal laws, and the horticul-
tural laws declared unconstitutional.
The action Of Judge Rigg in overrul-
ing the demurrer is, of great impor-
lance, as it has been a question for
some time whether or not the state
horticultural laws were constitution
al.

STANDS OFF DRUNKEN INDIAN
Yakima Girl Has an Exciting Expert
ence But Holds Her
Nerve.

Miss Florence Kinyon, daughter oI
L. M. Kinyon of Mob Hill, had an
exciting experience with drunken
Indian yesterday afternoon at her
home. says the Yakima Republic.
Jimmie Saluskin while under the in
fiuence of fire-water rode into the
gate at the Kinyon home, and at
tempted to ride his pony upon the
front porch, Failing in this he rolled
off his horse and attempted to get into
the house, but was foiled in his efforts
by the presence of mind of Miss Kin
Won who was there, who recognized
her predicament when the Indian rode
into the gate. Immediately locking the
front door, and fastened the windows.
Miss Kinyon then secured revolver
and was ready to defend herself had 1t
been necessary, but Saluskin soon be-
came exhausted from his futile ex-
ertions to open the front door, and
fell in front of the door and went &c
sleep.
In the meantime Miss Kinyon had
telephoned to the sheriff's office. Sheriff
Grant left in great haste for the scene
of the trouble, and when he arrived at
the Kinyon home, Saluskin was sound
asleep. His horse had wandered off.

BY Way Of Contrast.

Nov, there's a woman who has not
shoddy streak! AS far as family
goes, she is an aristocrat among aris-
tOcrats, but her income is small. Does
she live in an elevator apartment with
orange trees at the door and liveried
servants? Not she, for if she did she
could afford only as cramped quarters
as Mrs. B., and she thinks too much Of
her health and self respect to live that
way. On a quiet side street leading
off from an old fashioned square there
is brownstone apartment house with
out elevator or buttons or electric light.
Mrs dc We're occupies the second floor
there. directly over the wide, old time
front entrance. Her rooms are large
and airy, with fireplaces in which real
fires can be built, and a stone balcony,
filed In the springtime with bright
potted plants. Family portraits and a
few good paintings ornament the
walls, while spacious armchairs invite
her friends to make long calls. There
is nothing whatever for show; every
thing bespeaks comfort and refinement
and healthy living.

their training. The remaining vacan-
cies in the corps of construction will
not be filled this year, partly because
there is a lack of line officers required
for duty on board ship, and partly
because it is desired to distribute the
appointments to the corps hereafter
so as not to have too many officers OF
about the same age assigned to the
corps at the same time. This state OF

dition that will exist, to some extent,
although in less degree than prevails
in the naval pay corps and in the line.
It has come to be realized that In
making appointments to the navy and
military service hereafter there should
be due consideration Of the future in
terests of the officers, and that it would
be well to limit appointments, so as 10
avoid stagnation, which keeps junior
officers in subordinate positions for
many years and works hardship for in

ment and a menace to efficiency.

FIGHT STARTS OVER HORSE RACE
Siwashes Attempt to Take Hors-
es Lost in Bet.

LAPWAI, Sept. ia free for all fight
between Indians on one side and pale
faces on the other, was the result of
horse racing here, Sunday, when the
whites completely stripped the red
men of their money and belongings.
The whites won out, the forces being
about evenly divided with nine on a
side.
1t is estimated that several hum
dred dollars in money and several
horses and saddles changed hands on
the result Of the second race. The
first race was in two heats between
blooded~ horses owned by Runion and
Beauror Runion's mare, Ida Pat, was
beaten by a neck and head by an
Iowa horse running for Beauror. This
race was for 500 side.
The next race and the one which
precipitated the fracus was between
Andy Red Bucks famous Indian run
ner and Ida Pat. The Indian horse
was considered unbeatable at a quar-
ter by the Indians and they readily
staked on the result. Ida Pat won by
close margin.
When the result was announced the
Indians are said to have made a run
for the horses they had lost and tried
to take them away from the stake
holders, but the latter promptly re-
inforced by the white bettors, sue
ceeded in gaining the upper hand
and the spoils. There were no casu-
alties.

Chief of Police John Flannery Of
Tazewell Republican. [volume] (Tazewell, Va.) 1892-1919, 1906-10-18
A BRIEF SUMMARY.

Mr.. Robert Bruce has had very little
opportunity to make political record,
but what chance he had was used great
ly to his own injury. He served one
term in the State Senate of Virginia,
and during that term showed his affec-
tionate regard for the rights of the peo-
pie by the following public acts;
First. He opposed submitting the
new constitution to the people and was
an advocate of proclaiming.
Second. He organized and managed
a lobby which robbed 10 Hibbitts of his
seat in the House of Delegates, to
which the people of Buchanan, Dicken-
son and Wise counties had duly elected
him, and after Democratic Committee
of the House had reported that Hibbitts
was entitled to the seat.
Third. He declined to vote for an
amendment to the Senate bill provid-
ing for holding elections in Virginia,
which amendment was offered by Sena-
tor Revercomb. The amendment pro-
vided that the county and city organiza-
lions of the Democratic and Republican
party, in each county and city, should
furnish a list of not less than five names
for each precinct, and that one judge of
election should be appointed from the
list furnished by the Democratic organ
ization, one Judge from the list furnish
ed by the Republicans, and the other, or
third Judge, "to be appointed from such
political party as the Electoral Board
NAV choose" Mr.. Bruce preferred to
have all the three judges elected by a
Democratic Electoral Board, and that
is why he makes his appeal to Repub-
licans to vote for him, we suppose.
Fourth. He voted for the Legislative
reapportionment bill which gave to East
ern Virginia counties an undue proper
ton of representation in the Virginia
Legislature. No greater political out
race was ever committed against peo-
Tazewell Republican. [volume] (Tazewell, Va.) 1892-1919, 1906-10-18

the Ninth Congressional district, with
out regard to former party affiliations,
to unite with US and elect as our repre-
sentative in Congress a man VINO en-
dorses and stands with the financial and
economic policies that have been and
are now developing the mineral, agri-
cultural and other resources of our sec
ton of Virginia, that have brought
prosperity and happiness to all classes
of our people, and that have made us,
not only the greatest producing, but
the greatest consuming nation Of the
world.
Fifth. We condemn the action of
the last Democratic Legislature of Vir-
ginia for taking from the people of this
State the right to elect their commits
sioners of revenue.
"Sixth. We heartily endorse the ac-
ton of our State chairman and State
committee in their untiring efforts to
redeem the State from Democratic mis-
rule; and for the high plane on which
they conducted the last Republican CUB
ernatorial campaign"

THE RING OF THE FAIR MINOE02
Norton, Va, Sept. 20.
EDITOR News:

EDITOR News:
The announcement of John w. Eek
man, of Pulaski, that he will support
Robert P. Bruce for congress, has the
ring of the fair minded and righteous
gentleman. 1t reminded number of
Wise county Democrats that there are
Republicans in the Ninth district who
are appreciative.
In the contest two years ago, Wysor
against Slemp, a goodly number OF
county Democrats voted for Mr.. Slemp.
Mr.. Ecl6man was here during that cam
paign and he knows why these Demo-
Gratis voted for Slemp. Mr.. Eckman is
one of those gentlemen who does not
forget, and who is capable of judging
men worthy to represent our district in
congress. His example is worthy OF
emulation. 1t is wise and conservative.
Let US for sake of illustration reverse
the situation. Suppose Bruce was the
Republican nominee and Slemp the
Democratic nominees-it would still be
Bruce with men Of lofty ideas like John
w. Eckman. Let the Ninth Virginia
District follow the example of Ohio,
Pennsylvania and various large cities,
which held men tried and true above
party, and voted for the man. This is
from Democrat who supported Slemp
against Wysor and did so conscientious
ly-and one who has been in touch with R.
P. Bruce in late years and who knows
much of his every day home life. If you
want to know the real Bruce visit his
home at Wise Court House, where the
poor man from his cabin is just as well
come and treated as royalty at his board
as the rich man who may come. -Clinch
