a Crazy Runaway Horse.

horse and wagon belonging to the
Model Steam laundry passed through
funny experience Monday morning. The
horse was driven across the railroad
track on Wall street and was left stand
ing while the driver went into a house
for a bundle. At that time the train for
Pullman and Moscow came putting up,
crossing Wall street and continuing on
up the west bank of the South PalOuse,
which is the only graded thoroughfare
on that side of the river until Cooper
lake is reached. AS the train made Wall
street the horse started directly for it,
turning before he got to it and taking
narrow sidewalk leading up to a few resi-
dences in that neighbOrhood. This he
followed for few yards, being forced to
the bank above the railroad track, and
in jiffy horse, wagon and contents tum-
bed over onto the track in the rear of
the moving train. The singletree became
detached, setting the horse free from the
wagon, when he took up the track as
fast as his feet would let him after the
train He continued this until the tres
tie at Cooper lake was reached, where he
fell in, but some men being near lifted
him out with only few bruises to his
credit. Many people from back windows
on Main street watched the crazy per-
fOrmance of the horse with intense inter

BRUTAL AND COWARDLY
Three Young Men Beat and
Kick Ben Manchester.
No Provocation for Assault Full of
Booze and Intent on Having a
Fight Resist Officers.

Verne Hoag, Charles Lyons and Will
Neei are three young men who languish in
jail. Ii all accounts are true they de-
serve to stay there a long time. Mon
day evening, between Z and s O'Clock, in
Greene's saloon, they made brutal and
cowardly assault on two elderly men,
pounding one of them in a frightfuI
manner. 1t seems that j. W. McCon-
nell, man about 60 years of age, was
sitting at table in the saloon talking
with an acquaintance when the three
young men approached, full of booze,
and roughly smashed McConnell's stiff
brimmed hat down over his face and
ears, telling him to take that. McCOn-
nell entered a mild protest, saying he
couldn't understand why an old man
like himself should be mOested while at
tending to his own business. Previous
ly they had tried to pick fuss with Ben
Manchester, a well-to-dO farmer living
four or five miles from town on the AL
mOta road, but he made light of their
insults, refusing to notice them Man
chester then went to the lunch counter
and ordered something to eat. The three
young toughs left Mcconnell and started
for Manchester, pulled him off his seat
and beat and kicked him in a brutal
manner before friends could get to his
assistance. The assault was entirely un-
provoked. Manchester is about so years
of age
The police we're called when the three
struck for the back door, but were over
taken after wading the river, Hoag and
Neel being placed nnder arrest, Lyons
getting away. He was picked up next
day by Deputy Sheriff Daley. Chief
Mackay and Policeman Hickman had a
severe tussle with the two drunken men
before they were landed in the city jail,
Mackay receiving black eye Tuesday

RATIO OF ONE TO SEVEN
Marriages and Divorces Grant.
ed in Whitman County.
Figures Given Covering Period OF
20 Years Government Statis-
tician Finishes Labors Here.

G. b. Myers Of Seattle, the young man
who was gathering statistics Tor the de-
partment OF commerce and labor at
Washington, d. c., as to marriages, di-
vorces, marriage licenses issued and re-
corded from 1856 to 1906, covering a
period Of 20 years, finished his labOrs
here last Friday evening and went to
Spokane, where he will be engaged for
the next three weeks in gathering like
statistics of Spokane county.
The divorces granted in Whitman
county for the period mentioned mum
ber about 500. Number of marriage
licenses issued, 34O0; number of mar
riages recorded, $500. Figures were
taken on a number of points bearing on
marriage and divorce, such as date of
marriage, date of separation, number of
years married, cause for which divorced
was intemperance an indirect cause;
number of children, occupation, etc, not
necessary to give here. 1t is interesting
to note, however, that in Whitman
county the ratio Of divorces granted has
been one to seven in other words, out
Of every seven marriages taking place
one divorce has been given. And this in
one Of the best home counties in the
state.
As stated last week the government is
gathering statistics along these lines in
every county in the United States. 1t is
the purpose, after they are tabulated, to
present them to congress and ask for
national divorce law, doing away with
the present haphazard method of grant
ing divorces by the states. 1t will not
then be possible for such states az North
Dakota to be known as divorce states,
pandering to that element who would
make the marriage tie matter of taste
or convenience. 1t will also do away
with secret divorce suits, giving such
suits, az they should be, the widest pub
lefty. 1.-The divorce lawyers" who are
thicker than thieves in some cOmmuni-
ties, will in measure be put out of busi-
n'ss. The notorious Abe FUNNEL OF
New York city, now serving sentence in
Sing Sing prison, was one of these.
The government is going to great ex-
pense to get these facts and figures, but

OUR FIRST MARKET DAY.

Management Feels Encouraaed--
July 27 Date of Next Gathering.
The first market day in Colfax last
Saturday was voted success. About
30 head OF horses were brought in for
sale and several sales were made. The
animals were put in corral, free of
charge to the owners, where people went
to look at them and to buy. Several
graded bulls were in evidence, although
we cannot state positively as to sales.
There was about the usual Saturday at
tendance of people seen on the streets
during the summer, but as this il the
commencement of the harvest season,
when everybody is busy, people from the
outside are not looked for, hence we con-
clude that market day was the attrac-
tiOn and the attendance was all that
could be expected. In fact, many farm
ers sent word that they would be here
next market day. |. B. Harris, the sec
retary and acting manager of the
association, feels much encouraged, and
has no hesitancy in vOicing his enthusi-
asm. Many inquiries have been re-
ceived by him from abroad, all showing
the interest taken in market day.
Saturday, July 81, is the day set for the
next gatheFing, and increased attend
ance and relieved interest may be ex-

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.
Little Son of j. l.. Kennedy Run
Into by Mower.

Last Friday about II a. m. a very
sad as well as peculiar accident happened
at the home Of ]. l.. Kennedy, five miles
east of town. Mr.. Kennedy was en-
gagged in cutting grain hay at the time,
using the horse mower in so doing. bis
little son, between three and four years
OF age, unknown to the father, was in
the tall grain playing, when the mower
ran into the child, the knives cutting
both feet in a frightful manner. In all
haste Drs Mitchell and Post were sent
for, and went to the Kennedy homestead
as fast as possible. 1t was found neces
sary to amputate the left leg just above
the ankle, and the right foot was taken
off lengthwise, leaving about half re
naming 1t is not known at this writ
ing but the entire foot will have to come
off. This operation leaves the boy in
bad shape, but had to be resorted to in
order to save his life. The parents are
sadly grieved over the affair."

will surely be built. The country and

One word more, as a long-winded
preacher usually ends a dry discourse
There are too many large land owners
in this section. With the land cut up
into small holdings it will mean more
intense cultivation OF the soil, greater
diversity of crops, an influx Of people.
Land values have risen at great rate
in the last few years. The first settlers
bought for dollar or two an acre land
now worth $50 an acre. They purchased
from the railroad company, who at that
time was glad to get rid of it. Not so
now. jim and ST Jacobs were among
the first settlers. They bought large
holdings and are now rich. Thomas A.
White is the owner of broad acres, whose
several hundred acres of wheat
promises to yield him fortune this sea-
son. He weathered the storm during

Circuit Court.

The wheels of justice are still grind
ing IN the Bourbon Circuit Court. The
noted damage suit of Sam Jett against
the Hargises and others, was continued
just as the trial was about to be en-
tered into, on account of the defense
filing an amended petition at the last
minute. 1t goes over until MarchEterm,
and Judge Stout said that Bourbon
county cases would be disposed of at
the next court before this case was
called for trial. The continuance cost
the Hargises about S400.
The case of Pete Cain against the
Blue Grass Traction Co., was entered
into Wednesday morning and was still
in progress yesterday. This is dam
age suit, Mr. Cain wanting $4,000
damages for being injured when an
explosion took place on one of the
company'S cars over year ago when
returning from the Bourbon Fair.
The case of Watson's administrator
VS.. the Louisville & Nashville railroad
was continued till the March term of
court.
When the case of Daisy Boone Bolts,
VS.. Sarah Woolstein was called for
trial on Nov. 20, an affidavit was filed,
signed by DR., F. L. Jouett, stating
that plaintiff was suffering from rheu-
matism and unable to attend court.
The case was passed until Wednesday
and when called again the attorney
for plaintiff filed another affidavit by
same physician, stating she was still
unable to attend conrt. The defense
then filed counter affidavits stating
that Mrs. Bolts mad been seen on the
streets of Lexington in apparent good
health since the filing of the physi-
clans affidavits. Then on motion of
defendants attorney Judge Stout ap-
pointed DR.. David Barrow, of Lexing-
ton, to make an examination of Mrs.
Bolts condit on and report to the court
as soon as possible.
