HAPPENINGS
OF The WEEK
Items Of General Interest from the
Various Newspapers in
the County.
Reuters Team Runs Away and Was
Found Mired and Frozen In a
Lake-Turtle Lake Wave.

Nick Reuter- aud the Snider
boys of Garrison have returned
home from their deer hunt near
Ft. Stevenson, where they killed
eight deer.
State Veterinary Robinson last
week examined George Weibele's
horses and found two Of them af-
fected with glanders. Justice
Putnam appointed Leon Pennewell
and Clifford Gordon as appraisers,
and the diseased animals were shot
Friday.
It was a spectacular sight
coming into town from the west,
Sheriff John Beck and his auto
mobile hitched to Charley Hus-
toms old gray horse. Huston did
the driving, Beck did the steering,
and the rest of us-all but We
got a good cigar. This happened
last week. The automobile is laid
up for repairs with three cogs
broken on the drive wheel.
Last Monday evening VIM. Reu-
ter's team got away from him as
he was driving home from town:
Bill himself was picked up and
cared for till morning by neigh
Dor. but the team was left, as no
one knew where to look for it..
Sunday morning the horses were
found hitched to the fore part Of
the wagon, mired down and frozen
into the ice in the mud lake east
of Henry Governs place. From
all appearances the team had run
onto the frozen lake and their
momentum had carried them out
pretty we'll to the center before
the ice broke, letting their feet
into about ten inches Of ice and
water and a soft footing Of mud.
Here they slashed around until
their jaws we're broken on the ice,
they slowly chilled and died, and
the ice was frozen about them in
the morning. The team was a
fine one and worth about $500.
Turtle Lake is by far the bust
est and the best town in Mclean
County; this, no one who pauses
to consider can fail to see it is true.
It is the only town located on a
railway terminus, it has the largest
richest and most thickly populated
district to feed it; it has also every
advantage that railway crossing
would give a town without the
drawback of having small towns
nearby on four sides as would be
the case if the town really had
two railroads. The only drawback
to Turtle Lake is lack of political
ambition among its citizens. The
real cause of this deficiency we
can hardly fathom, but be the
cause what it may, the town be-
ing centrally located and in every
way the best vantage point polit-
ically, for its own good and for
the taxpayers good should have
some sort of political organization.
All the (politickers) east of us
especially at Clusky, have COM
bined to work for the good of their
districts. The (politick-
ers) west of us have their schemes
and expect to better their condi-
tions, through the ballot
box at the coming election,
yet Turtle Lake (Which really
comprises all the middle part Of
the county, a vast territory gets
nothing according to their schemes
but raise in taxes to help sup
port two or three new counties,

terested In the electric railway system
that Is to be built here and Messrs. w.
HI. Lyiss and T. c. Williams OF Columbia
representing themselves and other
parties associated with them In the

The plans of the company. which

discussed In detail and final. decisions
were reached on several matters.
Within a short time. probably within
the next fortnight full outline of
the plans of the company will be
made public and the people Of Sumter
will be. as II were. taken into the full
confidence Of the promoters. For the
present. only the general statement is
made that the electric railway will be
built as provided for in the franchise
granted by City Council and that work
will be commenced in the near fu-
ture.

HANDSOME OFFICE BUILDING.
Northwestern Railway to Have New
and More COmmOdiOus Quarters.

The management of the Northwest
ern Railway will soon have new and
better offices in this city. The old
building had become too crowded and
was not conveniently located
The new building is being erected
just across from the passenger depot
and will be two stories high with eight
office rooms. The building will be
handsomely fitted up and furnished
and will be a great addition to that
part Of the city. The work is being
done by Contractor j. w. Sing, and is
being rapidly pushed to completion.
The report made some time ago
that the auditing force OF the compa-
ny would be moved here is untrue, as
that part Of the business will be con-
Quoted in Wilmington as heretofore.
The new Office building here will con-
tain the operating offices Of the road,
but the force here will not be enlarg-
ed In any way. General Superintend-
ent Wilson said this morning that It
was simply matter OF making more
room and better offices and that there
would be no change in the force in
any manner at all.

FROM SAVANNAH. GA, IN
JAIL HERE.
attempted to Get Checks Cashcd That
Were Found to BE "BOgus"-iricd
to Fool Country Negro.

Charles ID. Donaldson, colored. who
claims savannah as his home, Is in
jail here, no doubt a sadder, but wiser,
negro. He was arrested on Tuesday
by Sergt. Weeks. and after q hearing
before Recorder Hurst, was bound over
to the circuit court on the charge OF
forgery.
1t seems that Donaldson ATTEMPTED
to get two checks cashed by a country
negro who had just sold cotton. One
OF the checks was for SIS and signed
IT. T. Thatch." The other. a custom
er's draft. was for $40 and signed
Geo. Granson." Both were made
payable to Chas. d. Donaldson and
were on the First National Bank of
Sumter. Apparently. he had tried to
get other negroes to cash these checks.
for several of them told Officer Weeks
about the man, and the sergeant came
up and arrested Donaldson just as he
was fixing to work his game on the
country negro.
In the recorders court he admitted
having signed the checks, saying that
the parties whose names he used
were good for the amounts all right
and that any bank would cash the
checks If they knew the person hold
ing them. Asked why he drew them
on the local bank, he said he did not
know whether or not the parties had
lany money in this particular bank,
but he knew the checks were good
and he did not go to the bank himself
because the bank people did not know
him.
OF course, the story did not look
right at all and really had no reason
to 1t. so Recorder Hurst bound DON
aldson over to the next session of the
circuit court when he will be arraign-
ed for forgery.

However, the Bisbee boys say they have put up with a number of things from the Douglas team which they did not consider sports manlike and they are not disposed to make another date for the third game after it has been ignored bl that team in order to make arrangements with the team from Fl Paso. Douglas and El Paso are scheduled to meet on the 14th of this month.

(Contirued from First Page.)
 ing methods of Medieval Europe ill the heart of twentieth century Chica- go is the novel solution ait upon by city congregation to secure hun dred thousand dollar church in the face of the present financial stringen- cy. The church will be built froan cornerstone to belfry with materials and labor contributed by members Of the congregation and their friends, and will not cost a cent of cash. A prominent architect has drawn the plans and several contractors and
 business firms have promised materi- als ranging from sand, cement and crushed stone to stained glass and pew numbers. The entire work of
 construction is being performed at
 night by men and boys of the con gregation. As a result the walls of the church are rising day by day, while work on practically all other
 new buildings in the city has come to a standstill, until the financial situa- tion eases up. The workmen are en-
 thusiastic and in the midst of modern
 surroundings show the same zeal that inspired the builders of Notre Dame, Chartres, Lincoln, Canterbury and
 other great French and English cathe-
 drals TOO years ago. In those days the Bishop, who was also feudal lord. proclaimed a weeks holiday, and to the accompaniment of trump cts and chanting Of priests the fnhabi-
 tants of the surrounding country would turn to and drag the enormous blocks of stone for the nave and choir
 and hoist them into place. In this i way cathedrals were built without expense, that under modern condi- tions would cost millions of dollars.
 It is likely now that the experiment
 will be tried in other places on a larger scale.
