Rev. John McVey, a missionary,
who is working among the settlers
in the Bad River country, of South
Dakota, a few days ago, whipped
two burly cowboys, George Carney
and Fred Temple. because they tried
to compel him to take drink of whis-
ky. The minister is a college man
from the east. and used to be a foot
ball player, boxer and all-round attn
lete. He was on his way to ranch
to hold a religious meeting, when the
two cowboys, who had sworn to pre-
vent the meeting, waylaid him, hand
ed him a bottle, and told him 10
drink. He declined, whereupon they
sought to force the liquor down his
throat. In FIVE minutes, with is
bare fists, McVey had knocked out
both men and took from one OF them
a revolver which he had drawn In
the scrap. Carney got up and shook
hands with the missionary. Temple
was ugly and threatened to shoot Nc
Vey on sight. Carney, however, made
his partner apologize to the mission
airy, shake hands with him, and prom
ise to treat him right" in the fu-
ture. Then the three men mounted
their cayuses and rode on together to
the ranch where the meeting was TO
be held. At the meeting Temple got
up and told how McVey had knock
ed out Carney and himself.

It is not often that a killing frost

On Saturday morning, April 26, 1873

thick. and peaches that appeared tc
be half grown were frozen solid
Wheat which was heading out, was
killed to the ground.
Again on Saturday the 18th, Sun
day the 10Th and Monday the goth
Of April, 1878, there was another wheat
killing frost.
There was killing frost on Mon
day April II, 1905, but it was not sc
destructive as the one first mentioned
Last March was the warmest within

Madison Square Roof Garden Murdc,
 Trial Opens.

Madison Square Roof Garden Murder
 Trial Opens.
 NEW YORK, Feb. 4.-The trial et Harry K. Thaw for the murder of Stanford White at Madison Square Garden reopened here this morning.
 District Attorney Jerome was in charge of the case for the state. Wit nesses were present to prove that Thaw shot and killed Stanford White on the roof of Madison Square Garden on the night of June 25, 1906. They will endeavor to show that the shoot ing was deliberate and premeditated thus bringing it under the definition of murder in the first degree, which is punishable by death.
 MT. Jerome has no more than a dozen direct witnesses. Meyer Cohen, a song writer; Harry Stevens, cater CT; Halsey Warren and one or two others will swear they saw Thaw shoot MT. White without warning. Police men Martin J. Moore and Anthony NJ. Debes, with Paul Brudi, fireman, will testify to the disarming of the young man and his trip to the police station. Dr. Timothy Lehane, cor oner's physician, will swear that MT. White died from the effects of the bullet wounds as shown by his autopsy.
 It is said that Mir. Jerome will ask for the discharge of at least one man and in all probability two men from further service on the jury. The two jurors are Nos. 8 and 9-Charles D, Newton and Wilbur r. Steele.
 MT. Jerome said early in the day that four or five hours would suffice for his first presentation of the case MT. Peabody of the defendants coun. sel smiled at this.
 ''It will take us longer than that tc cross examine" he declared. "Mr Jerome may be very well pleased fl we finish with him by tomorrow night"
 When the defense opens three weeks at least will be set aside for it. Thaw has so far subpoenaed fifty witnesses
 Mir. Thaw is entirely satisfied witl his jury" said MT. Delmas, leading counsel. "I saw him at the Tombs and he is eager to face trial. Counse for Thaw find no objection to any O. the twelve men selected. On the othe, hand, we feel that his case will b' judged by jury of intelligence and integrity.
 Personally I am perfectly confident that any jury of twelve men. selected from any part of the United States would. after hearing Thaw's defense send him forth free man"

Poverty Caused Double Suicide.
 CENTERVILLE, N. J., Feb. A. Calling to treat Benjamin Drake, an aged farmer living near here, Dr.. Jones got no answer to his knock. He knew that Mir. Drake, eighty-one years old, was i'll with the grip and that he ought not to be out of bed. Entering the house and seeing no one in either the bedroom nor the living rooms, Dr. Jones climbed to the upper story. There he found the old man dead, hanging from doorpost. Know. ing that Mrs. Mills, sixty, was Drake's housekeeper, Dr. Jones searched for her. At last he found her dead in the barn. She had hanged herself to . beam. They were poor, and there was no food in the house.
