He is Unidentified.

A dead man was found on the
shore of the bay near the old
Jacobs mill in this city Friday
afternoon. He was first Giscov-
cred by Isaac Gage. The of
fcers were notified and the re-
remains were removed to the
undertaking rooms of Esta-
brook & Olson. Burial took
place Monday. The man had
nothing on his person by which
he could be Identified, He was
perhaps forty years of age,
weighed nearly two hundred
pounds and his right arm was
severed at the elbow. The body
had evidently been in the water
several weeks. No one in this
city or at Ashland seem to be
able to identify him.

Fall Business on the Omaha

Two Switch Engines Needed

Business.

The fall rush which started on
the Omaha line some time ago is
now on at it's heighth and the
present indications are that it
will be well along into the winter
months before the business be-
gins to subside again. This ex-
ira amount of business all along
the line has also made business

engines are now kept in the
yards to handle the freight from
here, and one engine is kept
down at Barksdale to handle the

fifty is the average. Extra trains
leave every day taking care of
the surplus business.

HE HAS CONFESSED
Port Wing is the Scene of a
Murder.
Louis Cochenour is the Victim
and Thomas Lilystrom did
the Shooting.

In the last weeks issue of The
TIMES we announced that a mur-
der had taken place at Port Wing,
but the details we're lacking, be-
cause of the fact that District
Attorney Alvord and Sheriff
Happle were Investigating the
case. Sincet that timeit is known
that Louis Cochnonr blacksmith
of Port Wing, who is about %
years of age was murdered, and
that Thomas Lillystrom Fin
lander who has lived at Port
Wing for the past six or seven
years, is now in the County Jail
charged with committing the
crime. Lilystrom has confessed
that he killed the man during a
dispute over a bottle of whiskey.
Ehe two men were out hunting
a week ago last Sunday and it
was then that they got into the
dispute. Lilystrom claims that
his victim was aiming his rifle at
him and had threatened to shoot
him, but before he could do this,
he, Lilystrom, riddled the man
with bullets. Lilystrom at first
denied any knowledge of the
crime, but told such conflicting
stories that he was ompelled to
pilot searching party to the
spot where he claimed to have
last seen Cochenour. The body
was found after a great deal of
sparrlng. Deputy Sheriff Charles
Greenwood arrested the man and
the officers were notified. Lily
strom was brought to this city
Friday noon and shortly after
ward was subjected to a "sweat-
ing process by sheriff Happle
during which he confessed to
the killing. Whether he will ad-
nit his guilt when brought into
court for preliminary hearing
is not known. This makes the
third murder committed in this
county this year. Henry Boutin
was killed at Bayfield,, and Dan
Barker who did the shooting
pleaded guilty and was given a
term of fourteen years in State
prison. Nick Albe rnick was
killed at Drummond by Louis
Carlone, and while Carlone ad-
mitted he killed him he pleaded
not guilty at the preliminary
hearing and is now in jail await
ing trial.

From the reports. of the state

citizens of Wisconsin die each year
from consumption; that there are at

children suffering from this disease

university and elsewhere assure US
that Tuberculosis is both durable and
preventable. Then why is it not
cured and prevented? We are Id
that consumption can be eradicate d

Clarksville Herald: The johnson
County Bank now believes in patron
izeing home institutions more than
formerly. This consern, like many
other big business institutions, has
been using printed envelopes furnish
ed by the government, but this week
that bank placed with US large
order for envelopes. This shows the
right spirit. The envelopes may cost
the bank little more than Uncle Sam
would charge for them but the work
rightly belongs to home printing Of
fees, as the home offices live from
patronage of homie people principally,
and the money of the home printers is
spent with home merchants and
through home banks, so money thus
spent will come back. Others should
follow the example of the Johnson

the federal courts are going to take
the right away from them. AS things

FACT AND FANCY.
The Maiden Merit saws:

The Maiden Merit says:
"If Kennett should vote wet NAL
den will invite those who oppose the
sale of intoXicants at that place to
come and reside where law, order and
morals are far in the majority"
1t won't work, brother: it won't
work. Hayti has learned this from
experience. We we're led to believe in
the late local option election that if
Pemiscot county went dry and Ca
ruthersville wet, that the better ele-
ment of local optionists would come
to Hayti. 1t was preached to us that
Hayti would grow and prosper, while
poor old Charlottesville would dwindle
away and die of her own poison"
But it was not so. The merchants
of Hayti began to tumble over one
another in business failures, assign
ments and bankruptcy: our large fac
tory shut down and operated the Ca
ruthersville branch; our city went
down; many of our people, mostly To-
cal optionists, moved away. But Ca
ruthersville blossomed like rose and
doomed as it had never doomed be-
fore; more local Optionists moved to
Charlottesville and local optionists
from every part of the county go there
to trade. The local optionists of Ca
ruthersville prepared to do more busi-
mess, increased their stocks in every
line, built better, larger and finer
houses and better streets and walks.
All kinds of factories have located al
Charlottesville, and she is in the height
of her glory, while poor old Hayti,
Pascola and Steele has had struggle
for eXiste nee.
This is not an argument for nor
against local option, but simply to
show that the sentimental and theoret-
itcal, and the business end of it are as
far apart as the poles, and that the
business end, in Pemiscot county, has
proven much the strongest, as visit
to Charlottesville will prove to any one
who is capable of reason.
