Believed That Connection
With c. ]. & E. Will Be Made
BY Building a Line From
Muncie to HagerstoWn.
ACQUISITION OF ROAD
TAKES ON A NEW PHASE.
Through Trains to Chicago
Would Be Run Over New
Route, Thus Shortening the
Distance to Marked Degree.

Hagerstown. Ind, May 4.--It has
been learned that the party of survey
ors which stopped here in the latter
part Of March while engaged in loca :
ing a route for a railroad north of
town. was not employed by the propoS-
ed electric line between here and New
Castle. but was one of the Pennsylva-
MIA surveying gangs, and was locating
Muncie. For years this extension has
been periodically talked about and
many have been the parties of survey
ors which have arrived here doing
much and talking not at all.
Since the /. Il f. has actually been
taken over by the Pennsylvania, the
last survey from Muacie to this place
appears significant that the extension
will be built and that the junction of
the new road with the Richmond di-
vision will be made at Hagerstown.
Will Change the Route.
When the new extension is CON-
pleted. through passenger trains from
Cincinnati to Chicago, will be sent
over that route, thereby shortening the
distance between the two big cities al
most twenty miles. and competing
with the c., C. & L.. at this time by far
the shortest route from the Ohio river
to Lake Michigan.
Talk about the proposed interurbaa
road has been revived by the discovery
that the surveyors were working for
the Pennsylvania and not for the cleo
tric. Promoters of the road in New
Castle declare thay the road will be
extended to Richmond the present sea-
son. but as there is nothing doing IN
the way of work on the right of way,
little stock is taken in the assurance.
Hagerstown expects to get an electric
south to Cambridge City, six miles. 10
connect with the Indianapolis add
Eastern. but when that will be cannot
even be predicted.

ED ACTION IN A FIGHT is BEING
INVESTIGATED BY THE POLICE.

Nathan Freeman, who has in the
was arrested Friday on a charge of
provoke filed by Francisco Jacone
Attorney P. ]. Freeman, who as mayor
frequently sentenced Freeman to Jail
for various charges and who as city
judge sentenced him to Jail twice on
the charge of wife beating, appeared
for Freeman and entered a plea of
guilty. There were extenuating cir
cumstances in the case and on the
recommendation of the prosecutor,
who stated that Freemans Jail exper-
fences had had the desired effect as
for the past year and a half the man
had been in no trouble, had cared for
his family, purchased a little home
and had been steadily employed. The
prosecutor also stated that Freeman
had been goaded to provoke Jacone.
Judge Converse, after hearing the
statements of the attorneys, allowed
Freeman to go on his own recogniz-
aEce.
Story of the Case
After the hearing of the case Attor-
ney Freeman stated that Nathan
Freeman, while employed on the
building of the new Hoosier Drill fac
tory, had been tormented by his fell
low workers because of some trouble
he had a good many years ago. Free
man heard that Jacone had been circu-
lating stories and he hunted him up
TO get an explanation. Attorney
Freeman stated that recently Jacone
engaged in fight with a workman
and that Jacone bit quite chunk out
of his opponents face. Fearing that
Jacone might use similar tactics on
him, Freeman appeared before him for
the explanation armed with a rock
and knife Jacone was awed by this
display of armament and
went to police headquarters where ne
swore out a warrant against Freeman
for provoke
Chief Bailey states that the report
ed fight between Jacone and fellow
workman, in which the latter lost a
portion of his face for allowing il TO
come in contact with Jacone's teeth,
IS being investigated. If definite in
can be secured Jacone will
be arrested.

PRECAUT|ON
FOR HAYWOOD JURY
Will Not Be Allowed to STAY at
Hotel, But Will Be Kept
Housed.
2 GUARDS, DAY AND NIGHT.
ENTRY TO LAWN OF HOUSE WILL
BE PROHIBITED-A CONSTANT
OUTSIDE WATCH WILL BE MAIN
TANNED.
2 GUARDS, DAY AND NIGHT.

Boise. Idaho, May 4-The jury which
will try William Haywood. the first of
the accused in the Steunenberg mur-
der case, will be kept housed during
the trial. The law of Idaho provides;
that such juries be kept in seclusion,
and the higher courts have always in
sisted on a strict compliance with this
provision. Therefore, rather than
take any chances with the publicity OF
hotel in the case, Sheriff Shad Hod-
gin has hired house for them The
house standing on a neat lawn and
garden, is just across the street at the
rear of the Ada county court house,
and within 800 feet of the court room.
To make the daily Journeys of the
jury as direct as possible. the sheriff
has constructed a temporary stairway
from the rear Of the second story OF
the court house. Its upper landing is
the platform of a fire escape, and it is
reached through the ante-room of
Judge Woods chambers. The jury
can therefore be taken directly to the
stairway without leaving the rallied en-
closure of the court room. An Off
rangements have been made with local
stores for good and varied supply CT
food. Four bailiffs-two for day duty
and two for night service will guard
the jury. The house will be constant
ly watched Entry TO the open lawn will
be prohibited and one of the day bail
ifs will remain at home while the jury
is in court.
Witness Chair in Center.
The court room is being partly re-
constructed to increase its seating Ca
pacity. An unusual feature of the
court room is that the witness chair IS
in the middle of the chamber. directly
in front of the middle gate of the rail.
The jury faces the room, but its chairs
are on swiyelS that may be swung
around 10 face the judge. The witness
chair is on platform and is visible
from all points in the room.
Many extra chairs and tables are be-
ing placed within the enclosure for the
use of press representatives and a long
desk has been built along the outer
side OF the rail for the special writer's
and artists. Special seats are being
placed for members of the Boise bar
and the seating capacity of the public
part of the room increased to about
three hundred.

A MAD STOCK STAMPEDE
THIRSTY SHEEP RUSHED FOR
WATER AND SCORE WERE
CRUSHED TO DEATH.

: AS the result of mad stampede of
1000 sheep owned by the Walla Walla
Meat & Cold Storage company, 164 of
the animals We're crushed to death and
many oilers badly injured. The stam-
pede occurred near the companys cor
raj On the Hi2brook farm between Z
and 8 o'clock Saturday evening.
The cause Of the rush, according to
the owners Of the sheep, was due to the
thirsty and tired condition of the flock
after long trip from the grazing land
o the HOlbrOok farm. AS soon as the
small creek was discovered the band
made rush for the water, and during
their mad flight the weaker animals
were crushed beneath the hoofs of their
companions.
AS near as can be learned today, the
shepard in charge of the flock left
them about 7:30 o'clock intending to
return immedia. ely after dinner Upon
returning he found the sheep in a ner-
vous and restless condition and upon
Investigating found sthe dead animals
IN a narrow gulch leading from the
corral to the drinking place.

AN ATTEMPT TO
GEORGE FARMERS
A. A. ELMORE EASILY EXPLAINS
THE PRESENT FINANCIAL
sTRINeENcY.

Prior to few years ago the farm
ers of the south We're actually going in
debt by raising cotton. The price was
regulated by. Wall street and they
never got more than six cents a pound.
Then they organized and before they
had made demand We're offered IL
cents This year they held out for 10
cents by a unanimous vote. Wall street
had agreed to furnish it for II cents in
foreign markets and when the farmers
would not come down from the price
they had set the financiers set about
to make a financial panic. That is the
cause of the trouble we are having. 1t
is all because a few monied men are
trying to force the farmers to lower
price by Tightening of the money
market. Whether they can do it or
hot remains to be seen"
This is the explanation of the pres
ent financial stringency given by A.
A. Elmore, national organizer of the
Farmers Cooperative and educational
society of America before the local
branch of that organization in the
rooms of the Commercial club Satur-
day afternoon.
Mr.. ElmOre is here in the interests
of the national body. This is an organ
izatiOn started by the cotton farmers
of Texas a few years ago. AT present
there are but 600 members in Wash
ingtOn and Oregon, and but so in the
local branch, but Mr.. ElmOre is out for
the purpose of raising the membership
and is confident he can do it.
Farmers should make their own
prices is the keynote of the theory he
is working on and some good argu-
ments are put up along this line. 'The
world has been able to get along
without lawyers, doctors, bankers and
professional men of all kinds, but there
never was a time when farmers were
not the basis of all prosperity. They
are the real rulers and should be
brought to the knowledge of this

of George A Pettibone for the murder
of former Governor Stunenberg' S

He has some minor matters he wishes
