1914. lie was one OF twelve children.
His early days were spent on the old

ike other farmer boys Of the period and
locality. In the year 1867 he became
attracted by the broader opportunities
of the West and moved to Bureau
county.
lie had received an academic education
while in the east and soon after coming
70 this county he engaged in school work.
he gained a favorable reputation in this
vocation and two years later was elected
principal Of the schools at Annawan,
Henry county. He remained at Annawan
FIVE years, then he was called to Tiskilwa,
where he had charge Of the city schools
for q period OF two years. While at
Tiskilwa he experienced sunstroke
which left him in weakened condition
and he was compelled to resign his posi-
ton. The following year he was elected
TO the Office Of county superintendent
% schools, in which capacity he served
in al seventeen years.

association and for a time he was trus.
tee of the state normal school at Normal.
Ill But year ago he resigned all his
public Offices and has since lived in re-
tirement.
His political and religious views were
broad and interfered in no way with bis
friendships. In fact. he was regarded az
one Of the most genial, oompanionable,
gentle and kindly men that ever lived

Canea, Crete, Aug. 17.-Nearly the
entire Cretan army has joined the
mutineers on account of the efforts
of the commander of the fort to lower
the Greek flag in compliance with the
demands of the powers.
No demonstration of any serious
ness has yet occurred in Canea, as the

If the insurgent movement gets un

IN JAPANESE EARTHQUAKE
Fully One Hundred and Fifty Persons
Perished.

Toxic. Aug. 1.-THE death list is
steadily being increased as returns
from the recent disastrous earthquake
come in and it is now believed that
fully $50 persons were either killed
by falling walls or drowned by the
overfowing Of the Hida river.
Reports are still meager and as
much of the affected territory was
thickly populated it is rot improbable
that deaths will reach an appalling
figure.
The Shiea and Gifu prefectures
have suffered the worst. Nagoya Oh
the island Of Honda. and Asaka, IN
Gifu, have been wrecked. The over
flow of the Hda river destroyed hun

MOVE TO QUASH
INDICTMENTS
Sensational Allegations by
Haskell and Others.
INTIMIDATION is CHARGED

Assertion Made That Members of
Grand Jury Were Repeatedly Told
They Would Probably Be Accused
of Perjury If They Failed to Indict.
Selection of Panel Also Declared to
Be Illegal.
Muskogee, Okla, Aug. 17-Attor-
neys for Governor Charles n. Haskell
and the five other defendants indict-
ed in connection with the alleged Mus
kogee town lot frauds filed motions in
the federal court here to quash the
Indictments, setting forth number OF
sensational allegations.
Aside from charges against five
grand jurors and the allegation of i'm
proper conduct on the part OF
United States Marshal Grant Vic
tor the allegations deal largely with
the grand iury's selection, with espe-
cial objection to the exclusion of Mus
kogee county, the home of the defend
ants, from the territory from which
the jury was chosen.
1t is alleged that George w. Strawn,
]. H. Dixon, j. c. Burgess, A. G. Du-
mas and w. L. Bailey, members OF
the grand Jury which indicted the de-
PENDANTS, deliberately sought to go on
that jury with a view to returning in
dictments, that Strawn, as foreman
conspircd to intimidate the other jur'
ors into voting indictments aster they
had refused to do SO. The motion in
sists that Foreman Strawn repeatedly
told the jurors that they probably
would be charged with jerjury II
they failed to indict and at on'
time, when the ballot stood eight tt
eight. he called for an open vote Sc
he would know who should be prose
cuted.
Republicans Given Preference.
1t is alleged that ont of eight tales
men selected seven were partisan Re
publcans and the eighth a bitter pei
sonal enemy of Governor Haskell
Governor Haskell is Democrat
After pointing out numerous tech
nicalities in the manner and time 0
the grand Jury's selection the motto
declares there was no evidence pr'
sented to show a conspiracy to dt
fraud and that the secretary of the II
terror and all of its departments |
the Indian Territory were fully awar
of how the lots were scheduled an
that no objection was raised.
The six defendants were indicte
by the federal grand jury at Tuls;
