RUNDICK WAS MURDERED
Opinion of COrOner's Jury in Powers
Lake Case.

Opinion of COrOner's Jury in Powers
Lake Case.
The body of Edward Rundck, aged 80
years, a Chicago man who disappeared
from Powers lake in Kenosha county on
Feb p of this year, was found floating
in the lake and the cOroner's jury which
investigated the case returned a verdict
to the effect that the man had been muir
dered by men working in the ice fields
at that time. The body was badly de-
composed, but the physicians who exam
ined it found bad confusion and blood
clot at the base of the brain, which had
evidently been caused by blunt instru-
ment. The finding of the body was re-
ported to Sheriff Pfenning in Kenosha
and he at once began a search for the
men alleged to have caused the death of
Rundick. He and four others who had
been employed as channel men at the
lake had been ordered by the foreman
to remove the slush ice from the channel
Just before the men left the engine room
to do this work, Rundick had engaged in
a violent quarrel with one of the other
icemen and he stated that he was afraid
to go out on the lake with them. The
foreman told him he was foolish. An
hour later two of the men returned and
declared that Rundick had been drowned.
The lake was dragged for months, but no
trace of the remains was found. Two
arrests were made Immediately after the
man disappeared, but the suspects were
released. All were members of the wan
dering body of ice cutters and it is doubt
full if they can be found again.

WON'T CHANGE SERVICE.

Railway Commission Denies AppIi-
cation to Revise Road Schedule.
The railway commission dismissed the
complaint in the case of Rev. Jenkin
Lloyd Jones of Chicago for change in
the west-bound schedule of the Chicago,
Milwaukee and ST. Paul railway on the
Prairie du Chen division. Rev. Jones
desired the change because of the advan-
tage it would be to the Hillside academy
near Spring Green. The complaint was
dismissed because the present train sched-
uIe was of greater advantage to a larger
number of people.

GAME OF FOX AND GEESE.


This is a game played on check
er board with four white men for
the geese and one black man for the
fox Two players only can play this
game, and the object is for the one
who plays the geese to block the fox
in the corner. while the ''foX" tries
to take from the board as many of
the geese as possible, or to keep out
of their way.
The geese are placed on four al
ternate squares on the side Of the
board next the player who takes the
geese. and the fox is placed by its
player on any other square on the
board that is the same color as those
chosen by the player of the geese,
and the moves are made diagonally,
as at checkers.
The fox can move both backward
and forward, but the geese can only
move forward. The geese move first,
after which each player moves in
turn.
The player of the geese should do
his best to keep them in straight
line, making their movements at that
point of the board farthest from that
where the fox is stationed, and thus
prevent the fox breaking through.
The fox must, of course, take i'm
mediate advantage of the first chance
to slip through the enemy's ranks

Rails on Dangerous Curve.
Two hundred passengers, many of them
from Milwaukee, had narrow escape
from death when the forward trucks on
the tender of the south-bound Chicago
and Northwestern passenger train jump
ed the track while going at the rate of
fifty miles an hour, just north of Apple
ton. The train was just rounding curve
on an embankment 100 feet high near the
mills of the Interlake Pulp Company

humping along, tore up the track for a
distance of nearly 800 yards before the
engineer could bring the train to stop.
The train was taken back to Kaukauna
and around to Appleton Junction, being
brought into Appleton over the Wisconsin

TWO FOREST CATS KILLED.

TWO FOREST CATS hlLL1D'
John Horn. of McKeever, y. Y,
who makes the study of birds and
animals a pastime, has established
II his own satisfaction the fact that,
while eagles will aid each other IN
q fight against a common enemy
as much cannot be said Of the lynx,
the most ferociOus member Of the
cat family found in the woods of New
York State.
Mr.. Horn and a companion were
shooting grouse a few days ago and,
as they shot them, hung them on low
snrace trees to be picked uD on the
return trip to camp. Several had
been killed and the meIl were work
mo backward on the trail when the
naturalist saw bald eagle swoop
downward 200 yards in front of him
and q moment after rise with a grouse
IN IFS talons. He rightly judged that
the bird had taken part of the day S
smells and was laughing that so good
a Joke had been played upon him,
when the eagle lost its grip and down
came the grouse.
The eagle scared about for a few
moments and then, folding its wings.
shot toward the ground, utterlng
sharp cries as it descended. The
trees shut out further observation
at the time, but when Mr. Horn heard
sharp squallings mingled with the
harsh notes of the bird he concluded
that something interesting was going
on and with his companion he hur
ried forward to the top of a ledge
overlooking a depression into which
the eagle had dived.
Arriving at the ledge, the men were
inst in time to witness a most un
usual woodland battle. A couple OF

ability been after the grouse when
their rival took it off, had now re
covered their prey and were fight

JAYS DEVOUR MOCKING BIRDS.
Mr.. S. P. Carpenter, of No. 325 FL
liott street, is authority for the fact
that blue jays will kill young mock
ing birds. The old hooking birds built
a nest in a tree near his residence
and were raising family OF three
voung Knockers. One day recently
blue iay called during the absence
of the parent birds and proceeded TO
DESTROY the children and was only
prevented from doing so by the time
" arrival of Mr.. Carpenter, who hap
pened to be near by. He Grove the
blue jay away, but on investigation
found it had pecked the head off one
of the young birds and had injured
another so badly that it died soon al
ter.
We always knew that a jay bird
had a lot of nerve, but when he be-
comes a meat-eater and devours the
young of the hooking birds, it is
time to request him to go north.

OUR CAT.


Our cat was called Kitty Jones 10
distinguish her from Kitty Smith,
next door, at least that was one rea-
son, and another was that when she
came to US, tiny SIP of kitten,
with the dividing line between her
bright eyes so distinctly on one size
we called her Tom, AMI 1T was only
when We found her one morning
cuddlilg a large family of kittens we
decided her name was misht, ana
not having another name convenient,
we dubbed her Kitty tina. momen-.
She aC "a -'-1 change with an air
of utter Indifference, being so en-
gagged with her family that probably
she did net notice such trifing mat
ter. And snail wonder that She was
proud of her babies; there were i've
OF them, to tortoise shell darHngs
with tiger lines en- their foreheads
Just like their mothers, and the 9TH
ers were mixed grey and white, cum
ming patty. little things, such perfect
delights to hold that that it required
all mammals authority to keep us
away from the cellar where Mrs. Kit
ty had taken up her residence.
But at last there came a time
when all the little eyes were wide
open, and the i've began to scamper
about the cellar, and finally to creep
I'D the back steps. One was always
treading on a stray kitten, and NAM
ma decided that they must be sent
away. So one afternoon we cOaXed
Mrs. Kitty into the house, and shut
her up in a long dark closet under
the stairs, where she went quietly
to sleep.
Then Aunt Mary, our old colored
house servant, carefully gathered up
the kittens, tucking them snugly in
4 warm easke5. and went en- a PHI
grimage out in the country among
her friends. leaving a little furry pres
ent of a kitten wherever she paid a
visit.
Now comes the strange part of my
story. Aunt Mary was to stay over
night. so when she had been gone
about two hours we children opened
the little door under the stairs and
Mrs. Kitty walked out blinking and
yawning and stretching, as cats do
when they've had a nice long nap.
OF course, as a matter of habit, she
went straight to the cellar, and we
all followed and peeped in to see
what she would do She wasn't
bit disturbed, she just shifted around
a moment, cIrled herself up in her
usual nook, and fell to washing her
face. We decided that she hadn't
a particle Of feeling, not even the
very natural feeling of parent.
Mamma was glad that she took it so
DhilOsophically, and Mrs. Kitty in con-
sequence had extra milk for her sup
per.
Bright and early next morning we
were reused by a shrek of delight
from Reggie, the youngest of us.
s'Oh, mamma, mamma he cried,
sscome and see Mrs. Kitty has some
more kittens like the others!
We all rushed to the cellar as soon
as we could tumble into our clothes,
and sure enough, there sat Mrs. Kit
ty surrounded by her reunited family,
washing their faces impartially, and
plrring contentedly. Aunt Mary ar
rived upon the scene a few minutes
later. and her eyes nearly popped
ont g her head with establishment.
But the secret was never discovered,
and whether the kittens found their
way home or Mrs. Kitty went after
them will forever remain mystery.

A Display of Buds Tues
day Afternoon.

Toddlihg, trooping, tumbling topsy

Tuesday afternoon.
This will be the opening feature
of the weeks festivities, and the most
important from the standpoint of the
galaxy of anxious, dear mammas in
the rear ranks. This infantile out
put will be corraled in three classes,
according to age and matchless beau
ty, and then the judges will get
busy with the blue tags. Entries have
been made from both city and coun-
ty, and the lineup will be something
amazing. Americas has the reputa-
ton of growing the prettiest babies
in the state; that is, girl babies; as
evidenced by previous crops, of which
there are a few still on the stalk
awaiting to be plucked, and this latest
yield now to be brought up for in
spection is no exception to the es-
tablished rule. After the awards have
been made at the baby show, the
judges safely out of the country and
tranquility again restored, the bazaar
will proceed through the week.

port. 1t was in his opinion a merit
orious measure.
The people of Alabama, he said,
were looking to the Legislature and
praying for relief from the pistol to-
ter. 1t was expected of the Legisla-
ture that it would provide some legis-
lation on that great subject. He be-
lieved firmly that the bill would pre-
vent the carrying of concealed wea-
pons, and if it did that the Senate
of Alabama should certainly pass it.
The pistol bill was not exactly what
he wanted, but Senator Hinson said
he would take it as being the best
he could get. 1t would do at least
one thing-preyent negroes from go
ing about the country and Haunting
dangerous pistols without violating
the law.
The Black Belt, he said, was not
suffering so much from concealed pis-
tolls as it was the pistols which
were not concealed. The negro had
learned that he was violating the law
if he concealed his pistol, 50 he was
accustomed to strap it on the outside
and thus armed go out and look for
his enemy.
Senator Hammer spoke against the
measure. Only three votes were cast
against the bill on its final passage

PISTOL CARRYING GOT
KNOCKOUT BLOW
AIabama'S Drastic Statute
on Subject.

MONTGOMERY, ALA, Nov. 23.-
(Special) 1.-The John anti-pistol bill
the most far-reaching piece of legisla-
ton ever directed at the pistol totine
habit in Alabama, was passed yes
terday afternoon in the Senate by an
overwhelming vote and will become
a law with the approval of the Gov
ernor.
Under the operation of the bill, the
gunsmith's window, with its pistols
dirks and knives, will become a thing
of the past. The bill not only makes
the carrying of a pistol unlawful, but
it makes it against the law to even
sell a pistol with a barrel less than
twenty-four inches long.
The Black Belt Senators as a rule
supported the bill gladly. 1t will
preevnt the carrying of pistol, either
by white man or by negro. The
pistol evil in the Black Belt has not
grown solely out of the concealed
weapon.
The weapons that have been car
ried openly have in late years caused
as much bloodshed as those that have
been secretly carried The complaint
in the Black Belt in recent years has
been that every negro has his shiny
pistol which he carries about openly
as he goes about, and so carrying ii
he violates no law.
Under the new law he is not only
forbidden from carrying a pistol in
that way, but he is forbidden from
buying It. Moreover, the white mer-
chant is forbidden from selling it to
him

NEW YORK, Nov 23.-The fear Of
a strike among the small operatives
in Liverpool and Manchester had a
tendency to create a bearish feeling
abroad and in consequence the foreign
market closed several points lower
than was expected by the bullishly
inclined here. Our market was sew
eral points down but being purely
sympathetic was short lived, as jan
uary after selling as low as 1922 for
January ruled steady and before the
close had sold as high as 1912 for
that option and the close being stea-
dy at 1888 for January. The strength
of the stock market played an i'm
portant part in the advance holding
and with the monetary situation be-
coming easier we would not be at all
surprised to see the market hold,
However we continue to advocate
sales on all bulges which we think
will in the long run prove the most
profitable Prominent brokers here
