John Dobson was over from Car
thage way Wednesday. He reports
that crops in his vicinity are looking
good. Mr.. Dobson is interested quite
extensively in sheep. But like all
others he experienced quite a loss in
the lamb crop last spring on account
of the wet and cold. He also reports
a considerable loss from wolves, which
nuisance seems to be growing in
numbers every year. This statement
seems strange but we are assured
that it is a fact, nevertheless. With
country becoming more thickly set
tied one would think the wolves would
be driven out. 1t seems too, that the
wolves are different from the animal
known as the coyote. 1t is more
than likely that they have become
mixed with dogs, giving them less
fear Of man, but none the less de-
structive.

HANSCHE, A WELL KNOWN CHAR
ACTER ABOUT TOWN, HAS BEEN
COMPLETELY MASTERED BY
DRINK HABIT.

One of the most pathetic of the heart
tuching scenes which are frequently
witnessed at the city court. took place
this morning. While Officer Voge!-
song was testifying against John
Hansche, up before Judge Converse on
a charge of vagrancy, the unfortunate
man was overcome with an acute at
tack of delirium tremens and fell
writhing to the floor before the bar of
justice, in the throes of what is COM
monty known as 'whiskey fit Of
ficers McNally and Winters promptly
came to Hansche's rescue, holding him
until the convulsion had subsided and
then carrying him into an adjoining
room. Prisoners, court attaches, po-
licemen and onlookers gazed with
fright and pity on the sufferings of
the unfortunate Hansche. 1t was
some time before quiet had been re,
stored out of the confusion.
Early this morning Hanche walked
into Main street saloon and after TAX
ing drink of whiskey. fell to the floor
In fit, his head striking a cuspidor
with such violence that a deep cash
was cut in it. After being removed to
the city Jail, DR.. F. ". krueger, city
physician, sewed up the wound and
completed covering the top part of
Hanche's head with bandages. When
Hanche fell out of his chair in the city
court his violent contact with the floor
opened this wound and in a minute
the bandages were stained with blood
So that Hansche might recover from
the effects of his debauch, Judge Con
verse fined him $50 and costs. This
means that for the ensuing thirty-five
days Hanche will be cared for at the
county jail.
Hansche is a we'll known character
about town. He comes of a good fam
lily and was formerly an expressman
About fifteen or eighteen years ago
he began drinking hard and it was not
long before he had been completely
mastered by the drink habit. After
McNally had testified Officer voge.-
song was called to the stand. Just as
Vogelsong was about to make his
statement. Hansche fell to the floor
in fit. Hansche has frequently been
arrested. principally on charges of
drunk and vagrancy. The man has no
home and sleeps wherever he can find
a place to lay his head.

Miss Clara Brown Narrowly
Escaped a Terrible Injury
While Trying to Catch a
Train at the Depot.
BARELY PULLED OUT
FROM UNDER WHEELS.
Mayhem Glanced to Be Just
At Hand and His Prompt
And Cool Action Was Re-
sponSible for the Escape.

Miss Clara Brown of Covington, o.,
was saved Sunday morning at the
local Pennsylvania station from a ter
rible death under the wheels of tho
Chicago limited train by the prompt
action of Station Master Clarence
Mayhem in pulling her from her peri.
lous position. Had he delayed ore
second in jerking the woman from the
platform from which she had acci-
IDENTIFY stepped, Miss Brown would
number of Mortified people watched
the quick, cool-headed action on the
part of Mr.. Mayhem
Miss Brown wanted to take a train
for Indianapolis. When the Chicago
train. which leaves here at 11:20 in
the morning, was pulling out of the
station Miss Brown thought ii was
the Indianapolis train. At full speed
she started after the departing train
so that she could get on board In
one hand she carried a small grip. As
Miss Brown was running along the
platform. which is about foot above
the tracks. she reached out to grab
one OF the handles at the side of a
car vestibule so that sic could swing
herself aboard
Limbs Across Track.
AS she did so her feet slipped from
the platform and she fell into the
space between the train and ths
platform. alighting in such position
that her limbs were across the track
a short distance in front of the wheels
on the forward truck of the rear car.
Fortunately Station Master Mayhew
happened to be standing just where
Miss Brown fell from the platform.
Quick as a flash he reached down,
grabbed the woman by the shoulders
and jerked her onto the platform just
a fraction of second before the car
wheels reached the place where Miss
Browns body had rested.
After Miss Brown had been pulled
onto the platform she was SO over
come by fright that she tainted, and
i. was some time before she was re.
vived. Many people crowded about
the woman as she lay unconscious on
the platform and Mr. Mayhew was
congratulated on his cool-headed res.
cue. After Miss Brown had revived
she was placed on an Indianapolis
train, none the worse for her terrible
experience except the severe shock
she sustained.
