Special Session Likely

Gov. Sheldon is communicating
with all members of the legisla-
ture, with the idea of calling a
special session of that body for the
purpose of passing a county op-
tion bill.
The governors s idea of county
option is that in order to have sa-
looms in the cities and towns, the
same must be determined by a
three-fifths vote, and if the county
votes against saloons then there
can be no saloon run in any town
in that county.
The special session will be
watched with interest by all, as all
are more or less interested in the
great question of county option.

TOOK THE CASH
EARL RAMSEY NOW IN JAIL ON
CHARGE OF THEFT
Stole $45 From Dave Ransom But
Was Soon Arrested by Our
Officers

On Monday evening Earl Ram.
sey, son of John Ramsey of this
city, was arrested on warrant is.
sued by Dave Ransom and upon
investigation the following facts
were brought out:
Ramsey had been working for
Ransom. and on the day in ques-
ton the latter had considerable
money on his person, which fact
was known by Ramsey. 1t is re-
ported that Ransom had been i'm.
bibing quite freely, and in the
evening Ramsey took him home
and when the opportunity present
ed itself relieved him of S45.
When Ransom awakened he at
once missed the cash and sur
missed where it had gone. He was
SO strong in his belief that he at
once had Ramsey arrested. The
officers b e n visited different
places in town where lie had spent
the money and learned that he
had given Harry Perkins $40 to
keep for him. With all this evi-
dence at hand, Ramsey realized
his predicament and when he was
taken before the justice he at
once plead guilty and WAS taken
to Jail, where he is now waiting
the next session of court, when lie
will learn his fate.

AN AWFUL END
MRS. AUGUST MILLER VICTIM OF
HORRIBLE ACCIDENT
Automobile Causes Runaway Which
Results in Death of One OF
Our Honored Citizens

Our citizens were again forci-
bly, reminded Of the uncertainty
Of this transitory life, when on
Saturday last just before dinner,
Mrs. August Miller, wife of one
Of our old and highly respected
farmers, without moment 5
warning. was hurled into eternity,
and her husband all but accom-
panying her on her long journey.
When the news reached the
city, large crowd hurried to the
scene of the accident, and the
particulars, as near as can be
learned are these:
Mr.. and Mrs. August Miller,
who live about six miles north Of
the city, were on their way to
town on their usual SATURDAY. S
trip. They were driving two
horses hitched to an ordinary
spring wagon. When near the
High school they met Otis Spick-
ler with his automobile and the
horses became frightened, and
Mr.. Miller lost control of them
and they began to run. They
had not gone far when Mr.. Miller
was thrown from the wagon, but
his wife still tried to stop the
frightened team which by this
time was going at breakneck
speed, but in turning corner she
too was thrown out, alighting on
her face and head with such force
as to crush it almost beyond rec
ognition. Parties who were 1nt-
mediately behind hastened to her
but found that the poor woman
was no more, death having been
almost instantaneous.
Mr.. Miller, despite his awful
fall, got up and walked to where
his wife was lying, but upon find
ing her dead, fell to the ground
unconscious in winch condition
he remained for several hours.
He was taken to the home OF his
daughter, Mrs. Herman Wulf, aud
the doctors summoned, who found
that aside from being badly bruis-
ed he had three ribs broken, and
for time his life hung almost
by thread, as it was feared that
internal injuries would prove
fatal, but we are glad to say he
is now improving nicely
A coroner's inquest was held
over the remains of Mrs. Miller,
and the following verdict render
