INTRUDER FLED
BEFORE PISTOL
LADY, Scared Man Who Created
Alarm in Fashionable
Neighborhood.

A white man with a large and lively
lag on created annoyance and con-
sternation at the residences Of several
highly respectable families on upper
I.fIiha street on Thursday afternoon
The fellow visited Carl Du Roi's place
and hung about till Japanese mental
| chased him off the premises with an
axe
At DR.. Hoffmann's place, which ne
next honored with his presence, the
dogs drove him away.
Alfred Carriers house evidently look
ed like ready money to the tramp, for
he tried to negotiate a small loan from
a japanese domestic.
mo got money! exclaimed the Jap,
wait a little WHILE obligingly said
a little Carter boy, I've got some
money and I'll go and get it for YOU
The youngster returned shortly with
a nickel, which he gave to the man.
who thereupon departed
The grand finale occurred about 4:3O
%. m. at J. r. Cats residence.
The unknown wanderer staggered up
to the lanai and demanded money
from Mrs. Gait, who. with another
lady, was alone in the house.
Mrs. Gait refused to donate to the
cause of more booze and this angered
the man, who swore a string of oaths,
which prompted Mrs. Gait to go to a
room where she knew her husband
kept revolver, secure the weapon and
point it at the intruder.
The man didn't know If the gun was
loaded or not, neither, for that mat
ter, did Mrs. Gait. He wasn't taking
any chances, however, and backed
away, exclaiming as he did so:
You wouldn't shoot white man, |
lady: people only shoot niggers.''
The man has not been seen Or heard |
of since he left the Gait place and |
took car, probably paying fare with /
the nickel he got from the Carter boy. T

Adiudged Insane.

We made a brief mention in
the last issue of the COURIER of
0. G. Mathews, young man
of near Rothville, who was ad.
judged insane at called term
of the county court Thursday,
April 4, and who was ordered
conveyed to the state hospital
for insane at st. Joseph as a
charge against Charlton county.
Young Mathews case is a
peculiarly sad one as he was the
main support of his widowed
mother.
The things which led to max.
ing his friends and family be.
lieve he was mentally unbalanc-
ed were his raising the amounts
of several checks that had been
paid him, and especially as he
had previo usly borne a good
reputation.
He raised one check John L
P Pendell had given him for from
somewhere between 81 and 81
to $3.50, and he made another
check of Pendell's read for $40
more than its original amount. A
check of S. A. Richeson was in.
creased from 5000 to $240. Three
other checks were also raised
by young Mathews as follows
One givvn by s. P. Grubbs for
So 25 to S63 25; one by A. F.
Semple for S76.44 to S86.44, and
another by A. F. Semple for
| $40 10 to 5000.
The money realized on all
these checks was deposited in
the Bank of Rothville, and the
sum placed to Mathews credit
on the Pendell check, which was
raised from between 81 and 81

ing off some notes he owed the
Bank of Rothville.
He went to Mendcn and bought
S16O worth of woven wire from
Atterbury & Light to wnom he
gave u check in pay menG. He
hauled a part OF InIs wire away
and sold it and applied the
money obtained from It's sale on
certai n debts he owed. He did
not use the wire in paying his
obligations as we stated last
W eek, and our information on
that point was incorrect.
When confronted with the
cri mes he had committed in
raj sing the checks, Mathews
seemed to be utterly Indifferent,
and merely said: 81 will make
them good"
He was taken to the state
hospital for insane at st. Joseph
by his brother, j. &. Mathews,
Friday, where we hope he may
soon find relief by being entire.

Because of an oversight in giving

dollar he paid US on subscription,
We sent him a dun April I, but
instead of getting mad and lacer.
atiEg his linen and tearing up
the ground for about four. square
miles, he very coolly called our
attentionFto the error, which we
took pleasure in correcting, and
sent US another dollar, which, he

As Little as Possible.

The congress that has just assem-
bled in Washington will have a great
many important matters presented for
its consideration, but probably will
take definite action on but few. 1t is
the 'time-honored" policy of the re.
publican party to do as little as pos
sible at the session of congress imme
diately preceding a presidential cleo
ton. This leaves so much less for the
party to be criticised for The repub
lican party prefers a general indict
ment for sins of omission rather than
a bill of particulars for sins of com
mission
But the demands of the country may
be so important that the Goth congress
will have to overthrow precedent and
actually do something. Strong efforts
may be made. even within the ranks
of the party itself. to bring about ;
revision of the tariff but the advocates
of tariff reform are not listening t
the delusive whispers of hope and the,
really expect nothing along this line

Bryan Sounds keynote.

On the occasion of one of the largest
and most representative gatherings of
democrats ever assembled in northern
Illinois, at Freeport yesterday, w. j.
Bryan sounded the keynote of demo
cratic success in the national cam
paign to be waged next year The great
commoner spoke to three immense
crowds, a banquet in the evening, at
which GOO sat down. being the culmin-
ating event of a day, in which the
honors accorded Bryan were shared by
j.. Hamilton Lewis of Chicago, candi-
date for the Illinois democratic guber-
material nomination.
Tariff and currency reform, compul-
sorry labor arbitration, and stringent
Regulation of the trusts were the is
sues Mr.. Bryan presented i'll his char
acteristic forcible style. Such a meas
ure of success as the party in power
has enjoyed, and such popular policies
and reforms as the present president
| has attempted to inaugurate, Mr.. Bry'
an asserted with correctness and EN-
phasis, involve the adoption and ap
plication of democratic principles.
The Nebraskan also spoke for har
mony within the ranks of the demo
cratic party, the wiping out of internal
political differences, the putting away
of personal grievances, and the unior
of all forces whose object is the ad
nF
democratic principles.
1t was a sound and logical position
on the. part of the party's recognized
leader, it's best advocate of party ideals
who has grown in strength and popu
lar favor and confidence during the 1:
years that he has been before the PEG
pie as a national character.
