A Printer Killed

A few mornings ago a printer came
into this Office and asked for work enough
to pay for his breakfast. He was
given the work and afterward worked a
day or 80 at the Free Press office. He
remained in town until last night when
he took the blind baggage on No. for
Ogden. When the train reached Wells.
his lifeless body was found hanging by
one of his arms to the side rails of the
baggage car. Both legs had been cut
off and he had bled to death. Where
or how the accident happened, we have
not been able to learn. He was a man
about 10 years of age and weighed
about 1856 pounds. He had a card from
the Typographical Union at San Jose.
California Coroner Triplett took
charge of the remains at Wells and will
hold an inquest. We have been unable
to learn his name. r.

Vacations For Bows

Look back into our history. Politics
and statecraft produced the greatest
men in our national beginning. Then
came pioneering and planting, followed
by the period when the best oppor-
tunity in the south was agri-
culture with slave labor, and the
best opportunity in the north ship build
ing, ship-owning, whaling and foreign
trade. This lasted as long as ship
building timber grew to the tide-water
line.
Fifty years ago young mans best
chance was railroading, and it is still a
very good one. Then manufacturing
and mining came to the front, ship
building and foreign trade and whaling
declined, the latter forever in the de-
scendant. Steel-making was for fifteen
years an open game, and was the young
mans best chance. Some five hundred
took it up-the greatest of these was
Andrew Carnegie. -
Cattle-ranchlng and gold and Silver
mining were contemporaneous with
steel us new opportunities. In ten years
copper was added, rs electrical indus
trial development began. That brings
us up to our own time. In what new
way are we developing as IL people?
Stop and think! When you have
answered that question for yourself
you have thought of fine opening for
your son.-The March Designer.

Hans Miller's Funeral

The funeral of the late Hans Miller
took place from the Presbyterian church
at, 2 o'clock this afternoon. Notwith-
standing the threatening weather, a
large crowd of sympathizing friends
and neighbors turned out to pay their
last respects to the memory of one they
had known and respected in life.
The services were conducted by Rev.
George H. Greenfield, assisted by the
choir. The services were impressive
and at their conclusion the remains
were taken to the Knights of Pythias
cemetery and left to rest with their
God.
Though he will be seen among us no
more, let US remember the good he did
and bury his frailties with his body.
May God deal mercifully with the old
pioneer
With tender sympathy for the be-
Hreaved family, we bid them sorrow not

ELincoln were decided success. Judge

and presided during the exercises. All

one exception. Jimmie Dewar had

field was brief and appropriate He
impressed upon the young people the
lessons of Lincolns life. He spoke of
Lincoln's early life, the lack of advan-
tages andhis determination to achieve
something. His rugged honesty and
his sincere devotion to the cause of hui
man liberty were simply but firmly inn
pressed upon the minds of the young.

The Halns AcauIttaI.

The acquittal Of Thornton Hams by a
Flushing IN. " jury is disquieting. He
was charged with manslaughter in the
first degree as an accessory to the murder
of William e. Annis by his brother, Capt.
Peter Hams. The admitted facts are that
Thornton, armed with revolver as was
his brother, accompanied the latter on his
mission of assassination. The defense
claimed that Thornton went along to re-
strain his brother and protect him against
a resort to violence. The prosecution
claimed, and was supported by many wit
nesses, that Thornton rather stood guard
over the murder using his revolver to
drive off those who Yentured to interfere.
The mere fact that he had a revolver and
fourished 1t makes the contention for the
defense look decidedly queer. Was he in
tending to use the weapon on his brother
If necessary to prevent the latter from
numbering Annis? Man-klling has evil
IDENTIFY been made safer business by
virtue of this verdict. Now the way is
left wide open to get Capt Peter Hams
off on a theory Of insanity or brainstorm.
