Poor Old Turtle


It's a strange tale, that of the
poor old turtle which followed the
British steamer Lawhill even unto
the end, and the end of the turtle
was soup. On August 1. when the
Lawhill was far out at sea, headed
for New York. the turtle, a huge
one, was seen swimming astern.
In vain the sailors fished for the
turtle. He would not bite. He
Just stuck around. AS the days
went by and the turtle continued
to swim in the wake of the ship
some of the crew grew supersti-
tiously alarmed.
The Iawhill came to anchor off
the Delaware breakwater to await
orders, and the turtle got a rest.
When the Lawhill came up the
Narrows the turtle swan along
side, then ahead. The crew was
wild with excitement. AS the ship
came to her East river berth the
turtle was carried by the current
among some canal boats. The
Lawhill hands went in search of
It and finally landed their prey
with a hook caught under one of
his flippers. Thus ANONYMOUSLY
ended one OF the longest swims on
record.

FARMERS BOOST
MARKET BUILDING

Probably the warmest support the
Fourth Ward Commercial cluD will
receive in it's effort to secure q
central city market building will
be from the farmers who patronize
the city market. Many of these
farmers have launched into the
growing of garden truck on large
scale and complain that at the
present time they labor under a
serious difficulty in the matter of
finding a market. =
The present city market, situated
as 1t is, lacks the element of per-
manency which would assure the
farmer of its continuance in the
winter time. There are no facili-
ties for the preservation :. the
unsold product, and as result the
farmer is handicapped in SO many
ways that he can not make the
price that he otherwise could.

HASKELL IN COURT
ACCUSED OF FRAUD
GOVERNOR OF OKLAHOMA TO
RESIST TRIAL
Attorneys Ask That Indictment Be
Quashed-Deciare Grand Jury
Illegally Drawn-Large
Crowd Present

TULSA, Okla, April 5.-Governor
Charles N. Haskell, when called be-
fore the federal court today to answer
to indictments charging him with
fraud in connection with Muskogee
town lot cases, made a hard fight
against the case coming to trial.
Judge Marshall of Utah, presiding,
heard extended arguments by both
sides in the matter of Haskell's de-
murrer, and likely will render a de-
cision tomorrow.
Governor HaskelPs attorneys began
their fight by asking that the indict-
ments be quashed, charging Special
Attorney General Rush with miscon-
duct In conducting the grand jury in
quiry which resulted in the indict-
ments.
1t also was charged that the grand
Jury had been Illegally drawn, that a
stenographer had been present during
the inquiry and that incompetent tes-
timony had been the basis of the in
dictments.
These allegations were vigorously
denied by the government counsel.
A great crowd attended the opening
of the trial. People came from all
parts of the state to see the unusual
spectacle of a governor on trial for
alleged fraud.

Governor Shallenberger at the hearing
Of the daylight saloon bill today was
stricken by apoplexy and died within
a few minutes.
Poynter had scarcely finished a
calm, deliberate speech. in favor of the
daylight saloon bill, when he was
stricken. The physicians were unable
to induce even the faintest respiration.
Lincoln was filled today with dele
cations of Omaha citizens, including
one delegation of $50 men headed by
Mayor Dahlman, who sought to induce
Governor Shallenberger to veto the
daylight saloon bill passed by the Leg
islature, which limits the sale OF
liquors in the state between the hours
of z a. m. and 8 p. m. The professors
argue that the bilfi is an abrogation OF
the promise of home rule for the state
metropolis.
Temperance workers appeared in
force, however. to urge the governor
to sign the bill.
Immediately after 1t was known that
Ex-Governor Poynter was dead Gov
ernor Shallenberger said there would
be no further public hearings on the
bill today. The daylight saloon bill
was passed in the closing hours of the
session. i
It's passage was a urprise to every
one, and the sudden death of ex-Gov-
ernor POINTER, one of its best known
advocates, lent q rare dramatic ele-
ment to the entire matter.
Governor Shallenberger did not indi-
cate what action he would take.

LAWSUIT BRINGS
DEATH TO THIRD
LAWYER IN NOTED LAND CASE
FOUND MURDERED
Five Men in Prison for Killing Second
of PrinclpaIs-Trail Of Blood
Marks Progress of Litl-
cation

McRAE, Ca, April. 5.-Pope s. Hill,
an attorney of Macon, was found dead
in a law office here today, revolver
in his hand. He came here yesterday
to appear in a case today, claimed he
had received a threatening note and
induced a hardware man to open his
store and sell him a revolver. He was
shot through the eye and there were
evidences of a struggle.
The Dodge land case, for the trial OF
which Hill was in McRae, is one of the
most famous in the state and three
men connected with it have met tragic
and mysterious deaths.
The trail of deaths and narrow es-
capes in the Dodge land suit began in
1891. In that year Capt. John c. For
sythe, representing the Norman w.
Dodge estate, was murdered and after
a six weeks trial five men were sent
to prison charged with the crime.
Shortly afterward Captain f. l.. Will
liams. one of the claimants In the case,
was killed, and for weeks afterward
four counties were. in fever heat of
excitement. Besides these deaths
there were several encounters in which
the participants received gunshot and
knife wounds.
The Dodge lands cover about 100000
acres, and since 1882 there has been al
most continuous litigation over por-
tions of this property.
The presence of many SquatterS or
the land created an element of risk and
caused widespread enmities.

SAN DIEGO, April 5-A message
received at the Point Iona wireless
station early this evening says the
cruiser California, having on board
the passengers of the steamer Indiana,
wrecked in Magdalena bay, is 200 miles
south of San Diego and is proceeding
to San Francisco without stop, to land
the passengers there.
The agents of the Pacific Mall
Steamship company have received a
message that in addition to the pas
sengers of the stranded steamer the
cruiser California has on board the
purser, who is taking the mails and
specie from the Indiana to San Fran
cisco.
Wireless dispatches received today
at various points, including Los Ange-
les, San Francisco and San Diego, con-
firm the report that the steamer will
be total loss 1t is said her de-
struction is only matter of few
hours.
"The wreck of the Pacific Mail
steamer Indiana at Magdalena bay had
as important a bearing on the use of
wireless at sea in some ways as the
Republic disaster" said H. L. Bleak
ney, manager of the United Wireless
company in Southern California, in
discussing the wreck in Los Angeles
yesterday.
Point Iona and Los Angeles were
in touch with the situation, showing
how important a part wireless COM
munication might have played had the
emergency required.
"The Pacific coast now is protected
by wireless practically from the Pan
ANA canal to northern Alaska and
across the ocean tosHonolulu. In the
next year there will be a remarkable
advance in equipment of vessels on
this coast
"The Pacific Mail boats are not yet
carrying wireless installation, but after
the wreck of the Indiana I imagine
they will be. I think the day of COM
pulsory wireless on ocean-going ships
is near, and when it prevails passen-
gers may feel as safe as on land"

GREAT BRITAIN AROUSED

Experiments

LONDON, April 5.-Great Britain
seems to be awakening to the fact that
the other nations of the world are
leaving her behind in the race for
command of the air.
While the members of the house of
commons were drawing the attention
of the government to the fact that
Germany has built, or is building,
dozen dirigible airships and urging the
government to take up with energy
the construction of a British fleet,
there was being held a meeting in the
mansion house, under the craftsmanship
of the lord mayor, in support OF the
same object.
Among those present were Admiral
Charles Beresford, Prince Louis OF
Battenberg, Lord Curzon, Sir Hiram
Maxim and Admiral Sir Percy Scott,
all of whom heartily supported ener-
getic action.
Admiral Scott advocated "two-
power' standard in airships as well as
in Dreadnaughts and mentioned Incl
dentally that the navy had designed
new gun which at a distance of 5000
feet could be exceedingly destructive
to war airships.
