GOVERNOR FORT
TO ENFORCE LAW
a Mean Every Word Of It." Says New
Jersey Executive Concerning
His Proclamation.

FORMER MILKMAN IN
QUEER PREDICAMENT
lnherits Fortune But Call Of Corral is
Too Strong and He Wants to Get
Job In Dairy Back.

Las Vegas, N. NJ, Aug. 2S.-From
milkman to capitalist and then to have
the wonders of riches pail on him so
that he longs again for the quiet joys
of the dairy and asks that his old Job
be returned to him-that is the brief
but sensational gamut that has been
run by Roscoe Hall, formerly of Las
Vegas and now Of Dodge City, Kan
SaS.
Seven years ago Hall was milking
cattle for his board on the farm of ].
Fl. Churchill at Dodge City. Gradual.
ly he rose in the ranks of the mixers
until he was given charge of the cor.
raj at the milking depot for the Har-
vey system in Las Vegas.
Then came fortune. Two hundred
and fifty thousand dollars fell as from
the sky and the dairyman found him.
self with more than he could spend
Mr. Hall shook the dust of the cat.
tie pens from his clothes and went
forth into the world.
That was but few short months
ago. His friends and former com.
panions here heard from him from
time to time, for despite his money
Hall was not snobbish and seemed to
derive the greatest pleasure from as
sociation with his old acquaintances.
Now it is announced that from
Dodge City has come the request that
Hall be permitted to return here and
resume his duties as chief of the cor.
raj.
The ways of wealth have not led to
complete and unfettered happiness
and the Harvey system is to enjoy the
distinction of paying salary as a
milkman to one who is the possessor
of $250,000 in his own right.
Friends of Hall are pleased that he
will return here but, one and all, they
express wonderment that the call OF
the corral could be so strong as to
lure man from the pleasant pastime
of spending money.

PRESIDENTS SON
A REAL HERO
Kermit Roosevelt Stops Runaway
Team, Saving Lives Of Woman and
Two Small Sons.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Aug. 2S.-It was
stated here last night that Kermit
Roosevelt, second son of the presi-
dent, stopped runaway team of hors-
es yesterday after wild chase
on horseback along the shore road in
to Bayville and probably saved the
lives of Mrs. Frank Hilton, Of New
York, and her two small sons.
Kermit seized the horses brides
while the animals were galloping
along at full speed and brought them
to a standstill. Mrs. Hilton and her
two children were in the carriage.
They were unhurt. Mr.. Hilton was
thrown out, but injured when the team
took fright.

Republicans and
Democrats Work
ing Overtime
TRYING TO OREsTORE HARMONY
Both Parties in Bad Shape
Owing to fractional
Differences.

New York, Aug. 28.-With the heads
of both national committees engaged
in councils with their advisors, the
new executive committee of the New
York State Republican committee in
session considering the governorship
question and officers of the Repub-
lican congressional committee con-
ferring with President Roosevelt at
Oyster Bay, there is decidedly more
activity in the political circles of
New York today than since the two
great parties organized for campaign
work. From the point of widespread
interest the gathering of the New
York state executive committee ranks
highest. 1t is popularly believed that
a majority of the men present at the
gathering oppose the denomination Of
Governor Hughes. The meeting was
called for the purpose of talking over
the representation in several UP.
state counties but without doubt the
the denomination of Governor Hughes
will be discussed. No announcement
on this subject is expected, however.

A Moonlight Picnic.

Last Wednesday night was very
pleasantly spent by the young people
of Vance and the neighboring con-
munity at a moonlight picnic by
Miss Nina Dantzler in honor Of her
friends, Misses Lula and Meta West
bury and Lizzie Smoak, Of Branch
Vile. A large crowd was present
and number of different games
were played. while the moon, which
shone so gloriously, seemed to shed
inspiration as it streamed through
the tree tops. About eleven o'clock
ice cream and cake were served by
three of the girls, after which the
crowd gathered in the house where
the phonograph was played and
some lovely music was rendered on
the piano by Miss Dazzle Avinger.
A few parlor games were played and
as the midnight hour was well nigh
past, and after having spent such
a pleasant time, every body retired
to their homes.

ton was sold there Saturday by Mr.
w. A. Cole, one OF the most prosper
Gus farmers of this section. The
bale weighed 504 pounds and was
bought by Mr.. J. S. Craft for 10
cents per pound and shipped to the
well-known cotton firm of d. Craw-
ford G. Son of Columbia. Something
peculiar about this early production
of cotton by Mr.. Cole is that he had
the honor of selling the first bale at
North last year on August II, just
four days earlier than this year, and
it was bought by the same buyer j.
s. Craft, he paying 12& cents for it.
