This declared that Easter Sunday

or after the 21st of March. Should the
full moon fall on a Sunday. the Sun

N|NETY-SEVEN CASES
ON CIVIL DOCKET
Work on This Has Just Been
Completed.
JURY WILL NOT BE BUSY

Deputy Clerk Gus Huey has just
completed arranging the civil docket
for the April term of the circuit court
The first case that appears on tie
docket is that of Frank NJ Milliken
against Hattie Custer and others to
quiet title This case was filed in
1908. There are several other old
cases of the same vintage as the Mil
Hken case. On the docket it is shown
that at the present time there are min
ety-seven cases awaiting trial.
Jury Will Not be Busy.
No cases will be set for trial during
the first or second week of the April
term, that time being occupied in
calling the docket. About three
fourths of the cases that appear on the
civil docket have been continued over
from the January term of court
1t is probable that all the members
of the petit jury will have been sub
poened by the last of this week and
will be announced next Monday In
dications are that the April term petit
jury will not have any more work to
perform than the petit jury of the jan
uary term.

Edward Stien Will Not Take a
Place on Police Force
Of Richmond
SALARY is NOT ENOUGH.
THAT THE HOURS ARE so LONG
MAKES 1T DIFFICULT TO GET
SUITABLE MEN.

Edward Stien, who a few days ago
was appointed a police officer TO fill
the vacancy made by the resignation
of Officer Harry Hebble, has rendered
trade and he gives as his reason for
resigning his position on the police
offer by the company with which he
is connected
Stien was to have assumed his po-
lice duties next Monday, April 1. Os-
car Brown, the democratic appointee,
will assume his duties on that date At
the first meeting of the police commits
sioners in April, next Friday evening,
it is expected that successor to Stien
will be named
Acceptable Men Scarce.
The commissioners find ii nard
task to secure acceptable men for the
police service owing to the small sal
aries and long tedious hours the men
are on duty. At the present time po-
lice officers receive only $50 per
month. Nearly all the men considered
favorably by the police commission
ers command these wages and be-
sides work only eight or nine hours
each day and in nearly every case
have their Sundays to themselves.
Salary Increase Likely.
There has been considerable talk of
increasing the wages of the local po-
lice officers from $50 to $40 per month
and it is very probable this action will
be taken by the commissioners as an
inducement to attract desirable men
to the police service City officials
are complaining of the expense the
city is now being put to in maintaining
the present police force but if the
commissioners decide to increase not
only the salaries but the force, an op-
en- but Intellectual revolt on the part of
the city officers is predicted.

HOLLER REALIZES THAT HE

THE WATCH TO KEEP OUT OF
REACH OF CAPTURE.

William Holler an inmate of the
ed from that institution Tuesday night
is still at large somewhere in the
woods of Union county. just over the
Wayne county line, despite the efforts
to capture him. At the insane hospi-
tai it is stated that Holler will be re-
taken and returned to the institution.
An officer went to the home of HoI-
ler's parents Thursday, which is in
Union county and a short distance
south of Abingdon, and it was learned
that the insane man had been there
but when he noticed the approach of
the officials horse and buggy, which
he knew to be a strange one Holler
took to his heels and ran to the pro-
lection of the thick woods near his
parents home, every inch of which he
knows by heart. The officer spent the
entire day searching for the man but
his efforts were useless.
Relatives Would Keep Him.
Mr. and Mrs. Holler do not wish to
hospital, despite his hopeless mental
condition, and they rendered no assis-
tance to the officer in his search for
the insane man. They stated that
Will came to their home Thursday
morning at an early hour in very
pitiful condition. He was clad only
in a suit of underwear which was
drencned, Holler having slept all of
Tuesday and Wednesday nights in
driving rain storms. His feet were
also in bad condition as the result of
his wandering through the country.
The unfortunate was clothed and his
bruises and cuts ministered to and
the man appeared to be perfectly con-
tent to rest at his parents home. He
seemed to be aware that he would be
sought for by the authorities and as
soon as the strange horse and rig,
driven by the county officer, was seen
approaching, Holler dashed from the
house.

50 ARE KILLED ON
SOUTHERN PACIFIC
Miss Florence Roberts and
Theatrical Troupe Have
Miraculous Escape.
MOST OF DEAD, ITALIANS.
DERAILMENT OF TRAIN DUE TO
THE CARELESSNESS OF A
SWITCHING CREW WHICH LEFT
A SWITCH OPEN.

Cotton, Cal, March ga disas
trous wreck on the Southern Pacific
occurred east of this town late yester
day afternoon, when westbound train
No. Q. from New Orleans for San Fran
cisco, ran into an open switch while
going at the rate of forty miles an
hour. and 10 of the IA coaches were
rerailed. Twenty-six people are
known to have been killed and the list
will total much higher. The injured
numbered about 100, many of whom
will die.
The wrecked coaches were hurled
in every direction. Most of the dead
were Italians from New York and New
Orleans. They occupied the smoker
and day coach. The do~i were terrib-
.y mangled.
George L. Sharp, of Muncie, Ind,
was instantly killed. The baggage
man of the train, whose name had not
been ascertained, was also killed. En-
gineer Clarence z. Wormington and
Fireman Victor Crebb, both jumped
and were caught in the wreckage.
They were both terribly scalded and
burned. John Golden, the train con-
luctor. was in the Pullman section of
the train and escaped injury.
Out of about eighty Pullman passen-
gers there were but two who sustain
ed serious injury. The three Pullman
coaches and the diner which were on
the rear of the train. did not leave the
track. The occupants of these cars
were practically unharmed.
Theatrical Troupe Escapes.
The Florence Roberts theatrical
company occupied one coach which
was hurled from the track and both
ends crushed in by impact against the
others. But two members of the com
pany out of total of seventy-two peo-
pie were injured. Miss Roberts her
self escaped entirely unhurt. The es-
cape from death of the occupants of
This car was remarkable.
The derailment of the train was
caused by the crew of a switch en-.
gine leaving a switch open at this
point. 1t is said that the engine pass
ed through the switch few minutes
before the Overland appeared. A
switchman named Morrison was in the
yard. After the switch engine had
passed onto another track the engi-
neer asked the fireman if he had re
thrown the switch. The fireman re-
called that he had neglected to do so.
and the engineer whistled frantically
for Morrison To close it. The signal
was not given in time as Morrison did
not reach the switch before the Over
land had plunged through and been
derailed.

A. w. Pierce RegainS Lost
Sense While Hunting.
CAN HEAR WATCH TICK.

Hagerstown. Ind. Mar. 29-Allan
W Pierce has had his hearing re,
stored in a remarkable manner. For
years his right ear drum has been af,
fected and the hearing was almost
destroyed Recently he was hunting
and using a heavy gun in which unus-
ually large charges of powder We're
used. He shot many times in the
course of an hour. When he returned
home he discovered that he could hear
as well in the right ear as the left. He
tested the hearing and found it all
right, being able to hear his watch
tick at a distance. He is confident
the jar caused by the discharge of the
gun affected some change in the
mechanism of the ear which restored
his hearing.
