DRAGGED FROM
HIS AFFINITY
Preacher Exposed and Then
ROrSewhipped by In
dignant Citizens

KREMMLING. Colo, Sept. "a
ity," Miss Ruth Schumacher, by mob
of 20 enraged men disguised as white
caps, the Rev. H. H. Harsha, retired
Methodist minister, was last Tuesday
night horsewhipped until he begged
for mercy, and was then taken to his
own ranchaa mile away, where he was
told to remain with his own wife and
his two children under pain of a worse
punishment. This morning Miss
Schumacher is under Arrest on a charge
of obtaining money under false pre-
lenses, while her minister admirer is
vowing vengeance upon his assailants
as he lies on a bed of pain, tenderly
nursed by his faithful wife.
The horsewhipping of the Rev. Mr..
Harsha last Tuesday night is the cli-
max of months of indignation felt by
the citizens of Kremmling at what they
charge is the brazen definance of law
and custom by the preacher and the
girl.
The Rev. Mr.. Harsha is apparently
approaching the threescore mark, while
some and claims to have wealthy rela-
tives in Texas. 1t is reported that she
has relatives in Denver and Colorado
Springs. The Rev Mr. Harsha has a
brother in Denver.
The Rev. Mr.. Harsha and his family
ling about the same time year and a
half ago. Each took homestead on
opposite banks of the river.
Tuesday night about II o'clock a
mob formed quietly at some place I'M
known to the officers and marched to
Miss Schumacher's ranch. The leader
knocked on the door, and the Rev Mr..
Harsha came to the door and asked
what was wanted.
eve want you" was the reply.
Under guard, the minister was forced
to dress himself. and then, pleading
for mercy, was dragged out of the
house. Miss Schumacher screamed and
wept and hurled imprecations at the
mob as the minister was dragged ou
of the house. Once in the road the
horsewhipping began. and was kept vi
despite the minister's frantic cries fol
help until he was on his own ranch
There he was left almost unconscious
from pain, with warning to see tina
he remained there.
His wife opened the door and lie

PRESIDENT ENDS
HIS VACATION

OYSTER BAY, N. Y, Sept. "a
Several pounds heavier than when he
arrived here in the summer and feel
ing in finest fettle as a result of his
outdoor life, President Roosevelt will
take leave of his summer home to-
morrow, his intention being to make a
hurried visit to Washington before

Though he has enjoyed his vacation
it has not been all play and no work
for him during. the summer, for it is
now known that during the past five
or six weeks he has nearly completed
his annual message. The message is
practically finished and according to
report it is the longest of American
presidential messages. 1t is said that
the message not only aims to set forth
recommendations for the coming ses-
sion of congress, but also the repub-
lican policy for the campaign of next
year.
The summer has been a very rest

for his Western trip, which will be the
last one he will make before he ends
his term as president, unless Secretary
Taft should be nominated, in which
case it is not at all improbable that
the president will make number of
speeches in his favor.

Knowing Of no one he could trust
with so delicate an inquiry as this had
now become, he decided to undertake
It himself, and for this purpose en-

had fallen to her share and was con

NIUNSEY's NEW IDEA.
The Two-for-a-Quarter Magazine IA
 the Largest Ever Published.

An innovation that is without ques- tion the greatest that ever happened in magazine publication has come with the first appearance of the newest Mun- sey idea for July. Like all of Mir. Nun sey's undertakings, it is e little start ling. but it will grow on you. Briefly, 1t Is a magazine in two volumes-un- der separate covers. but under one name. The name is The Scrap Book a magic name that made a great mag azine a great success from the start. MT. Munsey says there isn't room enough within one cover to make a big enough and strong enough magazine to satisfy the reader of today.
 The Scrap Book in it's new form Is the largest magazine ever published the biggest moneys worth to be had. Its conception seems only natural to the man who has achieved ;nme by sig ing up the wants of the reading pub lie and then filling the want.
 Two Parts Under One Name.
 The first section of this largest mag azine the world has ever seen is practi- cally an all-illustrated magazine-not in the sense that 1t carries no text. but that 1t is better and more profusely H. frustrated than any so-called Illustrated magazine now published.
 Every phase of life. every topic of interest, every subject that mas the worlds attention, is told of in picture and story. It Is truly a reflector of public sentiment-a mirror of the worlds events. It deals with things timely and draws interesting compari- sons with things of the past.
 Stories of great disasters. reports of big achievements. comments on famous trials. side-lights on everything of hu- man interest. have their place in its 192 pages--yet this Is only half.
 The Other Half.
 The other half is 160 reges of pure tiction--the kind that tugs at the heart strings, the characters in which take the form of life and become your &C., quaintances.
 It Is fiction such as only Munsey is famed for as the pioneer in<the publi- cation of the all-fction magazine. There is not a picture or break of any kind in the 160 pages of the good solid kind of stories that makes such an appeal to the American love of TO- nance and adventure.
 You can hardly imagine srch a sup plement as this to such Q magazine as the superb separate illustrated part. It is a brand new idea, worthy of the publisher who issues 1t. and you must buy the July issue of Scrap Book to appreciate it. Adv.

DAVE BEEMEN APPLIES TO PAR
 DOMINIC BOARD.
Montgomery County Negro Sentenced to Hang in July for Murder of Ills Wife, Wants Life
 ImprisOnment.

Dave Beeman. a negro, who Is con- demneed to die on the gallows in the Montgomery County jail on July 26, Is an aplicant for a communication of sem tence from the State Board Of Par dons. Beeman Is under sentence Of death because of wife murder.
 The negro lived on a plantation be- low Grady, in Montgomery County. The deed for which he Is sentenced to die was a, result of jealousy. Beeman be- came enraged because he believed his wife preferred another man. He re- turned horde one evening some months ago and threw his wife out of the house. He then seized an axe and killed the ar-stricken woman before she could escape.
 The proof of the negro's guilt was so patent that he could only plead the infdelity of his wife as a Justification for killing her. In court he had no lawyer to represent him. The attor- ney apointed by the court, after look ing into the case and hearing Bee fnan's statement, advised him to plead guilty and throw himself upon the mercy of the court. This he did, but the negro was sentenced to die on the scaffold. Now a movement Is on foot to secure a communication of the sen tence to life Imprisonment.

WuLlNGHAM SMILES
SECRETARY GETS OFF QUESTIONS
 TO TEACHER.
Superintendent Gunnells Said OmciaI Slept on Table In Midst of
 Questions to Preclude
 Any Possible Leak.

Professor H. J. willingham spelt well and restfully last night. This was more than, he did the night before. Pro- lessor Wiliingham Is secretary of the State Board of Examiners. He was care free and happy last night, be- cause he had sent out the questions for the regular semi-annual examiua- ton of the applicants for teachers license from the State of Alabama. It is a responsible proposition-this busi- ness of getting up questions for the teachers, having them printed and sending them out without any sort of leak
 In a few rare instances there have been leaks in the questions for teach CTS. Copies have gotten out and ap- plicants, by the payment of @ suitable consideration have been able to see what the questions were before they went into the examination rooms. Sec retary Willingham did not propose for that to happen this particular June |. Superintendent Gunnels declared that Secretary willingham slept on last Wednesday night with a bunch of the questions under his head and the others pulled up on top of him. Mir. Willingham denies this. but ad- mits that he did not go to bed until he found a safe which would hold the .sixty-seven bundles.

He had deep sea-going hack brought to the side door of the Capitol Into this hack he piled the sixty-seven packages of questions, each package being ad- dressed to the county superintendent of some Alabama county. Then he took his seat in the middle of the hack with the questions piled around much as a country boy on the farm goes to the cotton house and pulls the loose cotton seed up to his chin.
 He told Jeems on the box seat to drive to the express office and the cruise down Dexter avenue began. Al the express office when ne had signed knew that there had been no leaks while the questions were in his charge.
