Paddy Shea was enjoying the afternoon
of Thanksgiving day by riding about
on a brJuchO. The animal, needing
the call of the wild, had tried to emu
late its first days in captivity and began
bucking and clvorting about on the hill
overlooking upper Main street. On one
of its bucking stunts it drew p%criously
neal the collar of Il 100 foot shaft. y
wild jerk and its rider went over its
heal and into the shaft. Bat - Shea
fell he wildly graspcd ut the first object
available-the rope of the haltcr-and
held on. He fell some feet into the
hole, and holding onto the rope he
hung suspended between life Il few feet
above, and u horrible death below.
The horse became frightened mt the
sudden turn i'll events and started to
run down the hill. As he drew away
from the shaft he pulled Shea ont and
to the surface. Shcd's experience was
one of the most miraculous ever
chrouiclcd In the history of the camp

This is beyond comparison the age

FAVOR An INCREASE
School Authorities Want the
School Term Made
Seven Months.
WILL INTRODUCE A BILL

School authorities of the different
counties of the state are anticipating
bringing to the attention of the next
session of the legislature, a bill maxi
ing the minimum public school term
seven months. The present statute
provides for six months school as a
minimum. C. w. Jordan, county SUI.
perintendent is in favor of increasing
the school term, although such a law
would not effect the schools of this
county, as none of them are operated
for less than seven months, the pro-
posed minimum term.
The agitation for a longer school
term is general, and is finding favor
especially in the southern part of the
state 1t is in this section of the state
that such law would generally bene.
tit, as the district schools do not run
for longer period than six months a
rule. In Randolph county, to the
north Of Wayne, such conditions are
general also.
Where such condition exists, is due
to the fact that the taxpayers are op-
posed to the levy of a local tax. These
communities endeavor to live off the
school funds derived from the state.
The funds do not warrant a term OF
school longer than six months, and &C
cordingly, local tax would be neces-
sary under the proposed new law.

He Did Love a Little Game, No Matter
Where He Played.
A man went to heaven, and after he
had been there a few days he grew SO
lonesome that he told st. Peter he
reckoned that he'd go down and take
a look at the other place.
But IL you go down there you can't
get back" said st. Peter.
"Well, only want to go just to look
at the place" said the man, so St. Pc
ter agreed to give him a return pass if
he promised to be back along toward
night.
He agreed. took the pass and started
OF. When he reached his destination
the first thing he saw was a party of
old friends playing poker. but they
wouldn't let him into the game because
he admitted that he had no money.
"Well, I'll fix that all right" he said
as he left them and wandered of
through one of the corridors. Pretty
soon he came back and threw a big
roll of bills down on the table and de-
manded chips. They all looked in as.
constituent at the size of his pile and
wanted to know where he got it, say
ing that they would not play with him
unless he told them.

me the chips. l sold my pass"

Bids Sweetheart Goodbye.
One Of the sad features of his de-
parture from the court room was the
bidding goodbye of his sweetheart,
Miss Madaline Laugel. a Is year old
girl. He held her hand for several
minutes but said nothing except good
bye, which was audible to court house
attaches.
In discussing the return of Town
send several of the officials stated
that he was induced to do SO by
friends. Townsend denies this. Town
send says that he has not seen his
father since he made his escape. His
father was at Eaton. today.
Charles LOTUS, the fifteen year old
boy who was implicated in the Com
mons robbery, Sunday night. was be-
fore Judge Fox this morning and ad-
mitted his guilt. He was sentenced to
the reform school at Plainfield and
will be taken to that institution soon.
LOTUS made no further confession
than that obtained and published ear
lier this week. He still maintains
that he received but so cents for his
share in the work. Townsend also
says that this is all he paid him.
Otto Peters and Frank Laugel we're
also in the circuit court awaiting trial
for alleged petit larcenies. Neither
were tried this morning. Peters was
released on 800 bond, furnished by
his father, until Monday morning. His
father has also engaged the services
of John F. Robbins to defend him.
Peters is charged in the affidavit OF
stealing a pair of shoes and the trous.

show these articles of wearing apparel
