MEREDITH SUFFERS
FROM SCRATCHING
Sheriff Refuses to Allow Pris-
oners Freedom Long
Enough to Vote.
LIBERALS OPPOSED HIM.
MEREDITH REMAINED OBSTINATE
AND SAID HE WAS GOING TO
RUN HIS OFFICE ON THE
SQUARE.

The surprise Of the election in this
city came when Sheriff Meredith re-
fused to permit prisoners at the coun-
ty jail to be voted unless orders for
their release were obtained. 1t has
been customary for many years in this
county for the sheriff to permit the
prisoners to vote. These sheriffs have
been republicans almost always. Mere
dith's action was so surprising as to
bring retaliation. He was classed by
the liberal element-wet republicans
and democratic saloon advocates as
Watson man, and his name was
scratched. Workers at the polls had
prepared sheets of instructions that
were given to voters to be taken into
the polls with them. These contained
q list of the men to be voted for. 1t
had been expected originally Mere
dith's name would be on this list as
he has been held to be good fellow"
His name was taken off, however, and
he went on the black list as standing
against the saloon element.
The democrats wanted voters in the
jail released as well as republicans
and made application to the sheriff.
Alonzo Bratton was released upon an
order from the court. He is demo
crat. His fine was paid or staid, so
rs he would not lose his vote. He was
sent to Jail only Monday.
Meredith made the statement he
was going to run his office on the
square and even II he is a republican
and wants to see republicans elected
he would not permit the voting of
prisoners unless properly released.

The splendid performance of the

When some Of the trades Of the past
are recalled; when the fans consider
some of the apparently dead timber
that wise managers have permitted to

them come to life and play marvellous

lieve that baseball is the strangest

first they had ever seen, was source
of wonder to the women and children,
and they exhibited a sort of rude ten
derness toward the prisoner, and salts
fed his wants as well as they could be
understood. He was unconscious for
days, and finally he began gaining suf-
ficient strength to walk about his hut,
and he discovered that the savages
had carried him across the island and
that their village was on the oceans
shore.
He determined to keep the good will
of the band until such time as an op-
portunity might be afforded to es-
cape TO passing ship. Fifteen months
passed, and one day he sat on the
beach in his tattered pajamas and
straw hat, the only articles of clothing
he had been allowed to bring with him
into captivity, when a ship appeared
in the offing. A steam launch, carrying
a number of armed sailors, came
ashore and began distributing beads
and mirrors among the savages.
DIR. Neville was informed that they
were from Dutch gunboat which had
been sent out in search of the mis-
sionary party. At favorable oppor-
tunity he was separated from the
blacks, leaped into the launch, which
put back to the vessel, and he was
rescued.

Is a native of Melbourne, Australia,
and although still a young man he has
travelled in all parts of the globe, and
at one time was captive for Is
months OF cannibals, on the Island OF
New Guinea, northwest of Australia,
near the equator.
In 1892 he joined an English party,
consisting of six young missionaries
and a number of converted South Sea
islanders, which sailed from Australia
for New Guinea, and after reaching
the island steamed in a launch up Fly
river to an UNEMPLOYED region, 600
miles from Its mouth.
They constructed their matched
huts and had settled down for their
work among the natives when they
were attacked one night by the savage
band and the settlement was wiped
out, DR.. Neville being the only sur
vivor Of the party.
The others were butchered as they
slept. and DR.. Neville attributes his
escape from death to the fact that he
was sleeping in hut apart from the
others and was not discovered until
the lust for blood had been satisfied.
The bodies of his companions were
roasted in great fires Of wood, and
| they were devoured by the hundred or
more savages, while he was compelled
to stand by and witness the hideous
orgy. After the feast, which lasted for
several days, the band resumed it's
march from the smoking ruins of the
settlement with the lone captive, who
expected to be killed at any moment
and meet the fate of his friends.
Far in the jungle the band finally
reached a village where DR.. Neville

after a prolonged illness. Angela Izzi
and Christina Izzi. her daughter, OF

The tender ministrations of the

of her husband.
With her dying words she declared
that she was happy in the thought that
her husband would have a good wife
after she died.
The public was in ignorance of the
episode until recently, when the news
was made public by Pallante, when he
married Mrs. lzzi.
