Attorney Nolan is not unknown to
the voters of the First Congressional
District as he was candidate for Con-
gress at the election two years ago and
made a very favorable showing in the
District. At that time he did not en-
ter the race for the nomination until a
short time before the primary election
and he made visit to every part of
the district and his candidacy was
favorably received by many Republi-
cans of the district. Mr.. Nolan has the
advantage Of being the first candidate
in the field, but it is possible that there
will be other candidates. It is within
the range of possibility that Congress-
man Cooper will not seek a re-nomina-
ton. He is being spoken of as a can
didate for United States Senator at the
same primary election and it will be
necessary for him to decide definitely
for which office he intends to be can
didate.

SHOT HIS PLAYMATE
Rrne Burgreen Arrested on the
Charge Of Shooting Carl And
eison Many Days Ago
DIDN'T KNOW GUN WASLOADED

Arne Burgreen thirteen year old
on charge Of pointing a deadly wea-
pom at Carl Anderson a boy twelve
years, and the arrest Of the boy has
brought out a story of what came near
being tragedy, Young Anderson was
lucky boy and for that reason he
will be witness in this case instead
Of having furnished material for fees
for coroner's jury. The two boys
were playmates and both live in the
town of Pleasant Prairie. The accident
on which the arrest of the Burgreen
boy is based, took place on the 21st
of January and at that time young
Burgreen discharged a revolver very
close to the face Of the Anderson boy.
The latter lost small portion of the
lobe of his left ear and his face was
badly burned by the powder. Burgreen
claims that the shooting was purely
accidental, but the father of young
Anderson seems to believe that the boy
should pay for his carelessness in hand
ling firearms.
p The various stories of the shooting
seem to indicate that the whole affair
was simply case Of "didn It know it
was loaded. " At the time Of the aeci-
dent the boys were playing and they
seemed to be in the best of humor.
Young Burgreen secure the revolver
which belonged to his father and point
ed it at Anderson. In some way the re-
volver was discharged and the bullet
ploughed through the lobe Of the other
boys ear. It is claimed that the An
derson boy has entirely recovered from
the injury.
Attorney Henry Hastings is prose
cutting Burgreen and Attorney Randall
is defending him. The attorney for
the boy declares that the arrest was
made for the purpose Of forcing the
father of the accused boy to make a
financial settlement for the injury done
the Anderson boy but Burgreen claims
that both boys were to blame for the
shooting and that for this reason it
should be regarded simply as an acct
dent and the matter dropped. The
hearing was continued for a week and
the Burgreen boy was held in bonds
OF hundred dollars which was furnish
ed by his father.

BURNING or THE RUssELLv1ILE TOBACCO WAREHOUSES;

ten surprising, the terrible work OF
the Kul;luX Khan, with it's member,
ship a hundredfold more desperate. Al
unexpected. mysterious, mythical force
strikes swiftly under the cover of dark
ness and is away. leaving only the
presence Of burned and charred ruin
of once proud tobacco factories and
warehouses to attest to it's presence
Human life is not worth a feathers
weight where reckless persons venture
from their residences during raid
and refuse to Immediately obey a com
mand of unquestionable meaning to re
turn.
That to the death compact exists
between its members there is every
reason to believe.
For the origin Of this terrible organi
zation we must look to the war be
tween the planters of the ''blacb
patch" of Kentucky and Tennessee
the dark tobacco district" and the
American Tobacco company, the sc
called tobacco trust. The trust had
succeeded in so dominating the dark
tobacco district that it was able to get
ali the product at it's own prices.
On Sept. a, in the year 1904, thou
sand men formed the Dark Tobacco
Planters Protective association and
pledged themselves to hold their staple
for living prices. The move was con
tagious, and other similar organiza-
tons sprang into existence until their
total membership controlled 80 per
cent Of all the tobacco raised Fair
prices were demanded and for awhile
apparently willingly given, but such a
rich plum was not to be Snatched by
the action OF handful of ignorant
planters without a stubborn fight.
Prices which otherwise would have
been considered enormous were Of
fered to individual farmers who had
pledged themselves to sell as a body
in the endeavor to rend asunder the
solid and determined phalanx of dis
gusted planters. The offers were at
first refused, but later some planters
yielded to the Establishments and the
money Of the trust
It was to prevent secessions from the
planters pool that the Night Riders
were organized, though the Dark To-
bacco Planters Protective association
is not openly charged with responsible
ity for the Night Riders acts. Any
planter who sells his product below
the price set by the planters pool be-
comes. an immediate object of the
Night Riders vengeance, and newspa-
pers and individuals who dare to criti-
else Night Riders are not less severely
dealt with. Recently the Night Riders
have grown holder and more desperate
than ever and from attacks on iso-
lated tobacco farms have turned to
concerted assaults on large towns
which have incurred their enmity. Not

City Treasurer Steinmetz Has Collected
$36719 for the Firemen's Pension Fund
Money for the Firemen IS pension
fund Is coming in pretty rapidly and
City Treasurer Steinmetz now has on
hand nearly $500 for the fund. This
money has been paid in by the fremen
themselves, by the various insurance
agents OF the city and by one factory,
which made a donation of ten dollars
toward the fund. 1t is expected that
there will be larger donations from
some OF the other factories in the city
and the fund for the first year is ex-
pected to reach the thousand dollar
mark There is some question as to
whether all Of the money paid in to
the city treasurer will go to the fund
as there is some talk Of fight for the
money on the part of the Volunteer
Fire Department. Under the law the
pension fund is entitled to one half of
the tax collected on insurance premiums
but the volunteers claim that the law
will not be operative on these funds
until next year on account of the fact
that the money now being collected
is tax on insurance written in 1907.
