S. G. KAUFMAN INJURED
Has Narrow Escape in Taxicab Acct
dent in New York City,

Word was received here on Thurs
day evening of narrow escape from
death in New York experienced by
S. G.. Kaufman, of Kaufman Bros.
of Aberdeen, while riding in a tax
icab. While returning from Coney
Island the machine, through the
carelessness of the driver, struck a
fence in turning a corner. Mr.. Kauf-
man, who was sitting on the front
seat, was thrown into the air and
fell on his head, fortunately in a
pile OF dirt, which fact probably saw
ed his life. With Mr.. Kaufman
were L. E. Hayes, a well known
western merchant, Mr.. Hayes
daughter, Mrs. Meyer S. Block, and
her husband. No one was seriously
hurt.

my attack on the articles of impeach-
ment with eleven senator's absent. 1t
is not right that the defendant be
compelled to continue before a court
where there are eleven empty seats
simply because there are enough here
to take majority vote. AS legally
constituted, the court is not here"
Replying, l.. p. Edge of the board
of managers, said;
I'VE started out with two senators
absent. If it is to be a rule that
when four or five senators absent
themselves the trial must stop, we
shall be greatly hampered. | wish
the report of other impeachment
trials where the presiding officer was
frequently compelled to send the SER
geant-at-arms for senators in order
that a quorum might be present. It
is evident from these records that at
other impeachment trials, at times,
not only were there several senators
absent, but there were times when
a quorum was not present"
Senator Rosenhaupt Sustains Him
Senator Harry Rosenhaupt, who
was presiding over the impeachment
court, sustained the objection of the
defendant. "While the attorney for
the defendant has not shown that any
of his rights are in jeopardy through
the absence of eleven members of the
senate, this condition is not the best"
said he, II therefore sustain the OBJ
lection"
Speaker L. o. Meigs said: ''The
senate decided yesterday to sustain
the objections to article |, of the i'm
peachment. If the senate will go
ahead and determine the sufficiency
of the remaining articles, the work
can be finished today and we can
begin the trial on the merits of the
case next week"
Senator J. w. Bryan contended that
precedent should not be established by
which half dozen senators could
hamper the work of the court. He
appealed from the decision of the
chair The decision of the chair was
sustained by the following vote:
To sustain the chair: Allen ARA
smith, Blair, Cotterill, Davis, Fish
back, Hutchinson. Kline, Knicker-
booker, Metcalf, Minkler, Presby, Ro-
berts, Rosenhaupt, Ridstrom, Smith

Senator Stevenson moved that here
after no member may be excused ex-

The amended motion was carried.

IRA c. CROWTHERs DEAD.
Passed Away Quietly at His Home,
Corner of First and H, Satur-
day Afternoon.

After four days illness Ira c. Crow
thers a pioneer of this city, died at
his residence 1872 North II street, at
2 p. M, Saturday.
In the passing of Ira c. Crowther
Aberdeen loses another of its old
residents, those who participated in
the activities of the early life of the
city and were prominent in its Or
ganization and upbuilding. He was
greatly respected and his demise will
be sincerely mourned by those best
acquainted wit hhim. MI Crowthers
has been ailing for some time, and
went to California year ago in
search of health, but not finding
what he sought returned to Aberdeen,
where he seemed to improve material
ly. Last Tuesday evening he and
Mrs. CrOwthers spent with Mr. and
Mrs. b. F.. Johnson, and was taken i'll
shortly after returning to his home,
and did not leave his bed after until
death claimed MN.
Deceased was largely identified
with the history and growth of this
city, having large property interests
here, the principal one being that of
the Crowthers-W Wooding block on the
corner of G and Heron streets. He
was not member of any church or
society, but has always identified him
self with the interests of the Congre-
gational church of this city.
Deceased was born in Center coun-
ty, Pa, December 8, 1887, AID came
to Aberdeen about "a years ago. since
which time he has been active in
business circles. Four years ago he
was united in marriage to Mrs. J..
Davis, who with his son, Clarence, by
a former union, survive him.

SCHIVELY CHARGES To Be Ex.

ed by the board of managers which
may result in simplifying and eX-
pediting the work of the senate as
a court of impeachment in the case
'of J. II. Schively, state insurance COM
ssiOner. 1t was proposed today to
withdraw several of the articles Of
impeachment, leaving one or two
charges in each of the following
groups: EXtortion, malfeasance, per-
jury. neglect of duty.
The board of managers and the at
torney generals office take the view
that if proof is exhibited of the guilt
OF the defendant on one of the
charges in each group, the court of
impeachment will be as well infrOm-
ed upon the question of s'chively's S
fitness to hold office as if all of the
charges contained in the twenty-siX
articles of impeachment were proved.
The demurrer of the defendant to
article |, which was sustained by the
senate, is also applicable to several
of the remaining charges. However,
lawyers in the senate who voted to
sustain the demurrer are convinced
that in articles III and " the crime
of extortion is sufficiently charged.
They also believe that malfeasance
in office is sufficiently charged in
articles XVII, XVIII, XIX, Xxx,
XXI. and xxi.
Articles XIV, which charges per-
jury, alleged to have been commit
ted in Spokane county in connection
with Schilvely's testimony in the
grand jury investigation of the Pacific
Live Stock Association, has already
been held to be sufficient by the sem
ate. Article XXVI charges neglect of
duty by Schively's absenting himself
from his office while drawing pay for
doing his duty.
With a fewer number of charges,
the board of managers hope to eX-
pedite the trial.
The amendments which may be Of
fered to the articles of Impeachment
will offer no new matter that may be
taken as grounds for further delay
| by the defendant.

vicinity but in the far northwest on
both sides of the international border.
They are getting familiar with rail-
road stocks and bonds and dabblins
in numerous enterprises. In this
occupation they find ready use for
their surplus capital. In the old days
when they had their savings, either
carried about their person or hid on
their premises, they would conclude
to make some additions either to
their houses or barns or put up some
entirely new structure.
Another thing which is affecting
the wholesale lumber market is the
determination of the majority of the
retail lumbermen to curtail their in
vestments. Just the other day | was
talking with the head of an extern
sive line yard company The direc-
tors insisted upon taking down part
of their capital and yet would not
consent to sell any of their yards.
After few months energetic effort,
the amount of capital invested in
that line of Yards was reduced $780,
600. and the manager was telling me
he didn't believe it had materially
affected the total volume of trade
they had done or the net profits they
had received. The great majority of
retail lumbermen now will not buy

time when I could go into almost any

This manager, in discussing this sub
iect. said he had always considered
he was making money by pickingup
these snaps but didn't know but
that they had lost in the way of in
terest about as much or more than
they have made.
The retail lumberman has had
a pretty hard problem to solve" con-

The result is he has a small lot of

pine, in stock not to mention hem

to keep an assortment of any one

of any extraordinary trade. l had
an experience just recently along
this line. A customer in Missouri
has been buying about three cars
every two years, made up of various
kinds of fir and spruce. A custo-
mer in his town is constructing a
flooring. The dealer didn't have
enough on hand to hardly make a
beginning for the job and naturally
endeavOred to get the customer to
substitute yellow pine or something
else he had in stock, but the buyer
was obstinate and finally he gave
him what he wanted. OF course, we
are pleased with such experiences.
but it complicates the troubles of
the dealer. Individually, we have al
ways advised against speculative
buying and have urged the dealers
to confine their business as much as
possible to some particular kind of
wood; of course, insisting that the

good stock - Mississippi Valley

TORTURED AGED MAN
ALMOST TO DEATH

SPARTA, Wis, Aug. "details Of
cruelty to an old man suspected as a
thief, were brought out in trial here
yesterday. Accused of robbing Andrew
johnson, a farmer, of his purse contain
ing $73 Frank Allen was tortured almost
to death at Cataract, Wis, on July l.
He was hanged to the rafters of barn
by a crowd of Johnsons friends.
Eight men were arrested, two of whom
are physicians, and seven are now being
tried for the crime. They are Andrew
Johnson, Edward Mayfield, Frank
Young, DIR. Hebron, Andrew Baumel, Err
nest Mengel and Frank Masterson.
DIR. Wilbur Davis was discharged today
and went on the stand for the state. He
told the story of the torture. According
to him, the men caught Allen near May
fields barn and after beating him until
his face was unacceptable. took him
into the barn and hanged him by the neck
to one of the rafters.
DR.. Hebron held his pulse and when
his physical physical condition required
it, ordered that he be let down for a
brief rest. He was hanged in this man
ner three times, the last time being TAX
en- down unconscious.
After being brought back to life he
was taken to the river to be ducked. Near
the river the missing pocket book was
found. The mob then turned Allen over
to a justice of the peace, who ordered
him out Of town.
