Quicker Case.

The damage case of John Quicker
against the Meacham Construction
Co. and the city of Hopkinsville was
begun Thursday. The case grew out
of an accident to the plaintiff Aug
II, 1907, caused by his driving a bug.
gy over a pile of cinders, throwing
him out of the buggy, on Ninth
street. Mr.. Quicker sustained inju
ries that disabled him for a week
The cinders were being used for con
crete sidewalks and occupied les
than half>the width of the street a.
required by law, and the defense
was that the the accident was caused
by the reckless and negligent driving
of the plaintiff and that lights haC
been put on the materials and al
possible care taken to avoid acct
dents.
Changes in the Grand Jury.
The grand jury reconvened Thurs.
day and four members were excused
at their own request and the follow
ing new members qualified: John
Boyd. E. M. Moss, G. B. Underwood
and Fount Meacham. The grand
jury took fresh start and soon be-
came so busy that the work mapped
out cannot be finished this week.
The grand jury. including the mem
bers excused from time to time, has
shown a disposition, without excep-
ton, to make a sure enough investi-
cation of the night rider lawlessness
and if they do not return indictments
it will be because the evidence can
not be secured. There has been a
wonderful change in public senti-
ment in this city and county. Let it
be said to their credit that many as

Call Upon Farmer Residing

Organizer of New AssOcia-

Things to Happen.

La Center, KY, March 19.-Night
riders visited the home of Henry
Christian, a prominent farmer, last
night and called for him to come
out. When he refused and the fam
lily kept quiet, they left, thought him
away from home. They left a no.
tice warning him not to plant any to-
&bacco and threatening to discipline
him for talking against the associa-
ton. A bundle of switches accom-
panied the note.

West Point, KY, March 19.-Sev-
eral growers in this section who had
prepared to plant tobacco found
switches and warnings in their mail
Aoxes this morning. They decided
not to raise a crop this year.
Letchfeld, KY, March 19.-Or-
ganizer Hughes, of the Farmers
Cooperative Association of Grayson
county, was warned by night riders
to expect trouble. Other Grayson
county farmers were also warned
Eminence, KY, March 19.-Shelby
county had its first experience with
the night riders Tuesday night when
seven masked men called at the
home of Henry Ellis, who lives just
over the line about three miles from
Eminence, and calling him to his
front door, demanded to know
whether he had sold any of his pool
ed tobacco. Ellis replied that he
had, and his assailants, employing
all the oaths in their vocabulary, de-
clared they would teach him a lesson.
Thereupon, while several of the ma
RAIDERS held him securely, 9TH
ers slipped up to his house and set
fire to the building without even
taking the precaution to warn his
servants in the house to flee for
their lives. Fortunately they had
been awakened and they made their
escape from the burning building a
few moments after the torch had
been applied.
Before setting the house on fire
marauders destroyed several tobacco
beds which the tenants of Ellis had
planted and prepared, and Ellis had
decided to raise tobacco this season
in spite of the Equity Society.
Ellis has no clew to the identify of
the riders.

REMARKABLE LONGEVITY Of
A NORTH AMERICAN indian

George, only Bryan's countenance was
more open.
She speaks several languages fluent
ly, including Hebrew and Irish, and
says that she received the rudiments
of an education from some of the mis-
sionaries of Virginia who were the
ancestors of Senator Tillman. She
also stated that insofar as she had
been able to discover rudiments were
about all the early settlers of this
country brought over with them.
In personal appearance this Indian
woman is very ancient, and her face,
although considerably wrinkled, still
retains a perfect mahogany finish,
which she ascribes to the non-use OF
cosmetics.
She confided to the writer that she
had not changed her costume since
|-about three weeks before the first
battle Of Bull Run, but made the ex-
Icuse that she did not believe in
changing every year as some OF the
North Dakota politicians do, although
she admitted that a change might be
healthier in some cases.
She says that in her prime, ere the
pruning knife of time cut her down,
that she had a double chin and her
physique, now so thin, was like
Taft's.
/ AT the conclusion of the interview
she intimated that in the coming
presidential campaign the influence of
her tribe would be given in suppor.
of the democratic party because there
was tradition which had been hand
ed down among her people that Tom
Jefferson was a good man, and fur.
thermore, she had never heard of a
democrat doing anything, while re.
publicans, like Roosevelt, were al
ways stirring things up. She hopes to
live to the end of Bryan's second
term.

The writer, being interested in his
torical data, antiquities and kindred
topics, and having been informed that
there was an Indian woman of great
age residing in the forest south of
Bismarck with the tribe known as
the Popomassersoits, determined to
Investigate the facts in the case by a
personal visit to the aforesaid tribe.
AS every schoolboy knows this tribe
of Indians is the one that was form
erly settled in Virginia with substa-
lions in Delaware and other locali-
ties, but eventually moved west when
1t heard of the great agricultural ad-
yantages of the Missouri Slope coun-
try.
Arriving at the camp an introduce
ton was secured by Chief Firewater
to the lady in question whose tepee
is located just south of large box
elder and about four miles from Bis
marck.
She admitted upon close interroga.
ton that her age was 1877 years, four
months and 81 days, and that she had
been well and. personally acquainted
with George Washington from infancy
tdp, having been his only authorized
nurse before and Immediately after
his unfortunate wrestle with the cher
ry tree. She also remembers seeing
him often when he commenced sur
| veying the original thirteen states
! and later when he had taken posses
sion by authority of the continental
congress and was in pursuit Of some
trespassers she saw him somewha
late one night crossing the Delaware
In one of his gunboats. She describes
IGeorge as having been rather large
muscular man with three corneret
hat and an open countenance, and add
ed that she had met a number of pei
sons since then with open counter
'Eances. Also that William Jenning

Divorce Case Was Piece de
Resistance. Term Lasted
,.9j
But a Day

The Kidder county court opened
at 8 O'Clock Tuesday morning. No
jury had been ordered. Mr.. o. w.
Moore was present from the naturali-
cation bureau to supervise the max
ing of citizens. Only about six were
allowed, the others, some ten or So,
being defective.
Tuesday afternoon Charles Beck
worth and Willie Wheatley were ar
raigned on the charge of grand lar
ceny, the alleged stolen property be-
ing cattle. They both pleaded not
guilty. They will be tried at the next
term of court.
The only case ready for trial was
that of Rosie Weiserhutter VS.. Her
man Weiserhutter, for divorce, the
complaint alleging cruelty and inhu-
man treatment and the defendant
making several charges in his an
swer. The case was heard by the
court behind closed doors, as some
of the testimony promised to be OF
a salacious character. However, at
ter the plaintiff submitted evidence
sustaining her allegations, the de-
PENDANT did not put in any testimony
on the counter charge. The divorce
was granted, the defendant to pay
alimony of 500 per year until $1,2O(
is paid. There are three children
the issue of their marriage. Bonnie
Ia years old, and Herman c., years
old, go to the father, and the Other
child, Goldie M, 3 or 4 years old
goes to the mother.
Steele is glorying in it's new steam
heat, both the court house and the
Grand Pacific hotel being supplied
with that luxury.
Court was adjourned Wednesday
until the next regular term.

list has been made out. Mrs. Mabel
Williams is the teacher in the above
district and her work is showing ex'

spirit in their work and Supt. Vigness

improvements made during his incum-

SPORTING Items

A wrestling match has been arrang-
ed between A. H. Felkey Of Minneap-
oils and Billy Sherrard, to come off in
this city early next week for the gate
receipts and side purse. The match
will be held in Maennerchor hall.
The men are said to be well matched.
Sherrard has turned down the chal-
lenge of Ole Refs OF Fargo because
the latter wants half the dough re-
gardless who wins.
Word comes from Wilton that an
eight-round sparring match has been
arranged to come OF at that point be-
tween Sherrard and coal miner of
