.LEORY WARE TO
Be TRIED SOON
CASE OF SEYMOUR BANKER TO
COME UP AT THIS TERM OF
COURT IN coRYDoN.

Corydon, Oct 2o.--(SpeclaD The
therm Of court converting here today is
causing unusual comment. The court
docket Is the largest in the history Of
the county. Judge H. M. Towner of
Corning is presiding and he will have
very important cases to hear.
The case which is attracting widest
interest is the State VS. Leroy Ware
Ware was cashier of the Farmers and
Drovers' Bank of Seymour when it be-
came insolvent and went under. He
was indicted on twenty-four separate
counts and pleaded guilty to one,
whereupon Judge Towner sentenced
him to serve five years in the peniten-
tiary. After serving two years Ware
secured his release from the state
board of parole. County Attorney
Sallman had him arrested and is now
attempting to have him convicted and
sentenced on another Indictment
Wares attorney, W. L. Livingston, has
asked for an injunction preventing
the county attorney from prosecuting
the case. Sallman comes back by de-
claring that he will raise the question
of the constitutionality of the act
which created the board Of parole.
This case will undoubtedly come up
for settlement this term and will at
tract more than local attention.

JOSEPH FERNANDEZ SHOT IN
BACK WITH CHARGE OF SHOT
YESTERDAY AFTERNOON.
WEAPON MISSES FIRE
Victim in Range When Repeater Dis
charges in the Hands Of compan-
ion Who Failed to Under
stand Mechanism.

What was no doubt an accident and
one that cost the life of young man
occurred at Rutledge yester-
day afternoon at about $50
o'clock short distance above
the coal company's Office, when Joseph
fernandez received charge of shot
In the back and expired soon after
the firing Of the fatal shot. All infor
nation obtainable points to the death
being an accident.
Did Not Understand Gun.
fernandez, with two companions,
all of whom were italian laborers IN
the mines at Rutledge, had been hunt
ing or at least wandering about the
outskirts of the mining town with d
repeating shot gun. Apparently they
knew but little of its mechanism. fo-,
as told by Ivan zellers, a car repairer
for the Milwaukee railroad at that
place, the three men were about so
rods above the coal companys Office
on the Milwaukee tracks when the
shooting occurred. When seen by Mr..
Zellers, one of the men had the gun
raised as IL to shoot the switch tar
get alongside the railroad track. Zell-
ers was about to call out to the man
not to shoot at the switch, when, low
ering the gun, he seemed to be work
ing with the weapon as If to learn the
cause of it's missing fire. A loud re-
port of the gun was heard and Fer
nandezz was seen to- fall to the ground
with charge of shot in his back, he
having been in range of the gun when
discharged.
An Italian Miner.
fernandez was born in Italy, No
vember s, 1882, and had been for some
time past in the employ of the Phil
lips Fuel company at the mines n
Rutledge. The remains were brought
to the Sullivan undertagi1zs morgue,
where an inquest is being held this af-
ternoon under the direction of Coroner
A. W. Slaught, who spent all of this
morning at Rutledge learning all that
he could about the case.
The funeral will be held from the
Sullivan undertaking rooms tomorrow
morning at 9 O'Clock to st. Patrick's
church, where Rev. Father James Bull
ger will conduct the service at 10
o'clock. Interment will be in Calvary
cemetery. The United Mine Workers

CREATES EXCITEMENT IN
SEVERAL SALOONS.

Burlington. Oct. 25.-Carrie Nation
addressed an audience of about two
hundred persons at the Y. M. c.. A.
auditorium last night Her manner
was tame in comparison t. the exhibit
ton she put on early in the evening,
when the Kansas saloon smasher Wis
tied several Of the local saloons, &C
companied by delegation Of the Pur-
ity federation workers.
Scores the New Woman.
Mrs. Nation put the new woman on
fire and toasted her to the limit in an
interview with a Hawk-Eye reporter at
her hotel. The Kansas whirlwind
turned blue when she spoke of the
modern garb for women,
when / see one of those big hats
want to amputate it," Mrs Nation
said. Deliver me from the gewgaws
worn by the society folks. Why, if
they will wear these trumperies You
can bet there will be more artificial
things found around their bodies, and
what man wants to marry an artificial
woman?"
Mrs. Nation had no time to give up
to an extended talk. She is live wire
in action. She rushed into the dining
room of the hotel and bolted her sup
per. Then she hurried out into the
| office and marched aggressively over
to table where group of young
men were playing cards.
Don't you know, young men, you
are going to ruin. Stop it, stop it, !
tell you," screamed tie cyclone FROM
the Sunflower state. Here, let me sit
in the game she continued.
Sure, take my place" returned one

The young man left his chair and
Carrie Nation sat down, and edged up
to the group around the table.
Deal me a hand" she ordered.
The crowd in the office moved closer
to the card table. The dealer shuffled
his pack, and dexterously threw the
cards to the players. Mrs. Nation was
the last When the final card glided
across the table she picked up her
hand and held it for a few seconds
Then with a quick movement Mrs
Nation opened her handbag and drop
ped in the cards. Slipping from he1
chair she made for the door and disap

players whose game had been broken
up joined in the laugh
where's a saloon?" Mrs. Nation
shouted Show me a joint and III

Here's joint on the corner,

There are some men in our township,
who either don't want to see the ad-

the idea of lettering conditions, and
year in and year out they allow their
roads to be dotted with impossible
places here and there. There are
others who take pride in lettering
their highways, but this latter class is
few and far between. The road sup
ervisors are not the very best selec-

much of the blame for bad roads
rests. They don't seem to know just
how to apply their talents along good
