Fountain City, Ind. April 27.-One
of the most friendishIy fnhuman acts

that against horse belonging TO Irie
Davidsou a farmer who resides TWO

horse. The flesh was cut through be-

to this fact alone i, attributed the
failure in the intention. The-Crse
was weakened by the loss Of blood
when the injury was discovered the
next morning. Application OF remedies
was made and il is probable the
horses life will be saved although it
probably will be lamed permanently
Mr. Davidson has no idea as 10

a cruel act He says there must be

TREES AND FENCES RAZED.
Wind Blew as 1t Has Seldom Blown
In Recent Years and Everything
Escaped.

Not in recent years has Wayne cOun-
fy suffered such great storm damage
as it did yesterday afternoon and early
dast evening. The most harm was
done along the northern boundary of
the county and especially in the north
west section. The hail stripped fruit
trees of their bloom and riddlCd the
wheat, driving it into the ground and
causing a total loss, Farm buildings
and out houses were blown down.
Houses and barns were unroofed. FenC-
es were laid low or scattered about
fields. Trees were upr0Oted or the
tops cut out. Limbs We're carried in
some instances a distance Of a quarter
of a mile Little damage resulted
from lightning.
Richmond escaped the full strength
of the wind. Showers were intermit-
tent The wind blew a number Of
dead limbs from trees, but other than
this its strength was wasted. Loose
shingles were torn from the roofs Of
houses and barns. but at no time was
the fierCcneSs of the wind equal to that
in the northern section of the county.
The rainfall began al about 3&p
O'Clock. 1t was unusually heavy and
accompanied by vivid flashes of light
ming and constant rumhling of thun-
der. After the first dOwnpOur the sun
appeared again and Sh0ne brightly for
about half an hour. Following this
there came another shower. which con
tinued al frequent intervals until
about : O'Clock, when the precipitation
flood gates of the skies seemed to be
opened and a veritable cloudburst en-
sued.
Hail Did Damage.
Hail accompanied the first downpour
Of the afternoon and it was this that
did the greatest damage. II did not
continue very long however, and it is
not believed the fruit in and about the
city suffered to any considerable en-
tent The hail did the greatest dam
age in other parts of the county.
Storm Eccentric.
Reports from the west end of the
county indicate the severity of the
storm was expended 10 the north of
the National road. The storm king
was eccentric and did not confine his
visit within any prescribed area. Sec
tions only two o. three miles apart
were treated to different kinds OF
weather, In a number of instances
south Of the National road and in a
few cases north Of this highway, it
did not hail. Al other places the
hail broke numerous windows. Perry
jefferson, Greene and the northern
part of Clay townships. came in for
the brunt of the disaster. About
Economy the storm approached the de-
gree of a tornado and carried wreckage

He Will Deliver His Most Nota-
BILE Effort Against the
Democrats Soon.
ADVlSABILITY QUESTIONED.
SOME OF THE REPRESENTATIVES
THINK SINCE HE is RUNNING
FOR GOVERNOR HE SHOULD
NOT TALK.

Washington. April 27.-Representa-
tive James f. Watson intends to make
a rousing political speech in congress
before the end of the present session.
There is every reason to hlieV' 1t
will be a notable effort. There is no
other man in congress who can make
better 'wnoop EN- up political
speech than the Indiana cOngre ss-
man, and whencver it is known in ad-
vance he is going to speak, standing
room is at premium.
In his coming speech. as in his past
utterances in congress on political
topics. he will grill the democratic
party. charging it with many sins of
omission and commission. One thing
to he said of all his speeches is that
they leave no sting. He has the fac
ulty of being able TO pitch into the
democratic party in the livcliest sort
of fashion without offending the in
dividual members of that time honor
ed organization and, although the pen
| pictures he draws of the democratic
! donkey shows it to be an animal with
/ out the least SemblanCe of pulchritude
his speeches are delivered with such
an artistic effect that none of the
donkeys wOrshipcrs feels hurt.

ABE RUEF'S COUNSEL
GIVEN LIE DIRECTLY
Six Jurors Are Finally Accepted in
the Bribery Case and Two
More Subject to Chal-
lenge
tBy Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 29.-The lie
direct, no longer a novelty in the
proceedings, enlivened for a moment
today's session of the trial of Abraham
Ruef on a charge of bribery.
Henry Ach, counsel for Ruef, had
been engaged with Francis J. Heney
in a dispute as to the exact circum-
stances under which some of the grand
jury testimony had been published,
and Ach accused Heney of having
made misstatement, whereupon
Heney said:
you lie."
Before Ach could reply Judge Lawlor
antervened, declaring that Ach had
been in the habit of making remarks
calculated to draw the anger of the
assistant district attorney. The court
stated Ach had misstated, perhaps un-
Intentionally, the facts in the matter
and warned him against repetition.
Just before the noon recess Ach called
Heney as a witness and questioned him
as to the existence of a report upon
the state of mind of a venireman, then
under examination. Heney at first de-
clined to answer, and was upheld by
the court. He afterward affirmed that
he had heard of no such report.
Three talesmen were examined, but
none was accepted. The box now con-
tains six jurors finally accepted and
two still subject to peremptory chal-
lenge.

BOY KILLED BY
ELECTRIC WIRE
MEETS SINGULAR DEATH AT
SANTA MONICA
Insists That He Is Anxious to Get
Shock and Pays No Attention to
the Remonstrance Of
PIaymates
Tspeclal 10 The Herald. !

SANTA MONICA, Sept. 29.-Little
Jacob Richmond, aged IL, the son of a
Jewish tailor who resides at the cor
ner of Ashland and Lake avenues. was
instantly killed by peculiar accident
this evening.
In company with number of other
children of the neighborhood the lad
was playing with long wire which
they had unrolled from broom ham
die. The Richmond boy tied a stone
to the wire and announced that he was
going to throw 1t over an electric wire
and get shock He was demonstrated
with by Ross Eville, aged 8, who ex-
planned thta it might kill him. How
ever, the lad threw the stone, and the
wire coming In contact with the main
feed cable from the Kern river power
house, formed ground circuit through
the youngster, killing him on the spot
The Eville boy Immediately tried to
lift the unfortunate child away from
the thin wire, which he still grasped,
while his younger brother aged 5, ran
to summon help. L. B. Eville rushed
to the scene, carried the little fellow to
his home and summoned DR.. Parker to
his assistance, but life was already
extinct. The body was taken to Kirke-
lees undertaking parlors pending an
inquest.
The supply cable. which furnishes
the whole Santa Monica bay district
with electricity, carries an excess of
10000 volts. The child's fingers were
burned nearly off, while the soles of
his feet, where the electricity passed
into the ground, We're burned to a
crisp.
The parents of the lad are nearly
frantic with grief. while the playmates
who were so near the tragedy, are
aWestruck with fear.

ANTI-SAL00N LEAGUE GOING

Great Organization to Concentrate

Autocrat-Fight tc Start -
In Earnest
TBy Associated Press ]

CHICAGO. Sept. 29.-The promised
fight of the Anti-Saloon League of
America against the reelection to
congress of Speaker Cannon is almost
at hand, according to a statement
made by General Superintendent Ba-
ker of the league today.
Mr.. Baker will speak at the opening
of the Rock River conference tonight
and then enter Mr.. Cannon's district.
Nearly every bishop in the Methodist
church recently has come out with bit
ter arraignment of Cannon for his no.
torious attitude on the liquor question,
and it is reported that the Methodists
throughout the nation, not excepting
in Cannon's own district, will unite
with the Anti-Saloon league in the gen
eral fight against the "house autocrat.'
Bishop Robert Mcintyre, president of
the Methodist Temperance society and
until he was recently elected one OF
the best known and most popular pas
tors in Los Angeles, recently referred
to Cannon as "the key log"
Bishop Mcintyre said in part:
when a jam occurs In logging
river of the northwest stalwart ak
man is sent out to cut the key log,
and break the obstruction which checks
the flow of the tide.
''The mightiest reform of our time Is
halted by the Interstate laws, and Can
non is the key log

fic may sweep it into the pit"

MAYOR HARPER STILL
INSISTS BIG CLUBS
SHOULD PAY LICENSE
Considers Monthly Fee of SIS
Would Be About Right Figure
for Organizations That
Dispense Liquor.

In discussing the matter of high class
clubs selling liquor to it's members
Mayor Harpsr yesterday declared he
was still of the opinion he held when,
last April, he sent a message to the
council asking that an ordinance be
passed licensing clubs.
The mayors message of April 8 ac-
companied an ordinance drawn by the
city attorneys Office at his suggestion,
and providing for licensing clubs at &
monthly fee of $25. In this message
the mayor declared there were about
fifty clubs In the city that would take
advantage of the license and 1t would
net revenue of $4,000 to the city. The
council filed both the message and or
dinance.
1t was suggested that, in view of the
fact that none of the clubs was SELL
ing liquor and all OF them would like
to return to the practice, 1t would
be expedient to send another similar
message to the council. The mayor de-
clared he was not sure that this was
necessary as he had sent several
such messages and the council well
knew how he stood on the matter. Il
am of the same opinion still" said the
mayor, and the council knows this.
Any other message l could send would
only reiterate what l have said in the
past"

better shake hands with that man over

That's Mr.. Sherman"
The stranger did as suggested, and
then Mr.. Sherman and Mr.. Kern moved
toward each other and presently the
long, sinewy hand of the second man

They smiled genially, exchanged fe-
