Meet After Thirty Yearss

Hello, Mrs. Eiseley," exclaimed an
old white bearded man yesterday af-
ternoon to Mrs. c. F. Eiseley, wife Of
Police Judge c. F. Eiseley, at her home
on South Third street. Mrs. Eiseley
was busily engaged at the washtub
and, turning around, inspected the
stranger and younger man who was
with him. e4
"Who are you? | don't know YOU"
she answered after a careful inspec-
ton of the man.
why, don't you know Frank"
asked the stranger and in moment
brother and sister were embracing
each other. They had not seen each
other in thirty years. The old gentle
man was l.. F.. Whitney, and after
greetings had been exchanged he in
troduced to his sister his son, G. w.
Whitney, now grown man. Mr. Whit
ney and his son are prominent farmers
of Franklin county and stopped off in
Norfolk enroute to Lincoln, where they
go tomorrow on business.
my sister didn't recognize me at
ALL" said Mr.. Whitney. She was busy
washing and | guess surprised her
some. We have not seen each other
in thirty years"
After talk of old times Mr. Whit
ney and his son called at the city hall
where they surprised Judge Eiseley
who was busy at his desk transacting
business of the court. He, like his
wife, had not seen his brother-in-law
for thirty years and did not recognize
him. He was soon informed whom
he was talking to and last night at the
Eiseley home the conversation dwelt
on what had happened at each respec-
tive family home during the thirty
years of separation.
MIR. Whitney has been farmer most
of his life and declares the crop situa-
tion is great this year. 1--WE have an
awful corn crop in Franklin county"
he said. Corn, wheat and oats are all
in splendid shape"

Two States Claim Town.

Union City. Ind, Dec. l4-Citizens
of this city and several other towns
on the eastern boundary of Indiana
are anxious to learn just where they
"are at" Surveyors allege that the
strip of country along the Indiana,
Ohio border in which these municipal
tiles are located, now belonging to In
diana, is really part of Ohio. If this
claim should be sustained. thousands
of people who now consider them
selves Hoosiers would be transformed
into Buckeyes. 1t is safe to say that a
majority of the persons involved do
not consider such elimination de-
sirable, and II the matter should come
to an issue, the citizens of Union City
will fight to retain their title of Hoo

Kissing started in the first round

Plenty of Quahoas.

New York, Dec. 14-Those who
complain of the high cost of living
should be thankful that the quahog
crop is the largest in years. The Ca
madam maritime provinces are the
principal exporters of quahogs, and
the total shipments to New York, Bos-
ton and other coast cities of the Unit
ed States reached about 100000 bar
rels.
The quahog is known to scientists
as the venus mercenaria, although it
bears no resemblance to the famous
female and isn't really mercenary.
To the American eqicure, the quahog
is known as the hardshell clam.

bedroom which he had formerly occu.
pied as hired man, slammed the
door and threatened instant death to
any one who should venture to break

perforated the door with holes to show
that he could make his threat effec.
tive.
Hickey went out with the priest and
the doctor, sent n message to the
states attorney here for more assist.
ance and more guns, and as he re-
turned toward the house noticed that
bullets were striking suspiciously
close to him. He made his way, how.
ever, into the house to render what
ever assistance possible to the fam.
lily, standing guard at the door of the
the stairway while the murderer raved
and threatened in his room in the
chamber, declaring that he would
shoot anyone who ventured from or
toward him, and that he never would
be taken alive.
A Posse Gathers.
BY noon large posse of determined
armed men were camped around the
little farm house, but Rossteuscher
held them at bay. A fusillade of shots
would have endangered the lives of
the family. The sheriff called for
local company of militia, which also
arrived on the scene.
Refuses to Surrender.
After Rossteuscher agreed to allow
friends of the family to remove them
from the barricaded home, Sheriff
Hickey wasted little time with his
quarry. After calling on Rossteuscher
to surrender and being met with a de-
fiant reply, he ordered the soldiers to
open fire and fusillade of shots was
poured into the house.
Fails to XIII the Girl.
Rossteuscher, it is said was enam-
ored with Bernice Culligan, niece of
Courtney, and threatened to kill her,
but failed to carry out his threat. The
girls refusal to marry him and his dis.
charge on account of his unwelcome
attentions were the cause of the trag-
edy.
Rossteuscher 40 Years Old.
Rossteuscher, who is a man about
40 years old, is well known in the To-
cality, having prominent and respect
ed relatives in business in this city
He has always been of a peculiar dis
position, but not considered in any
manner a dangerous man. Monday he
was in the city and bought the revolv-
er at the store of ID. ID. Gross, making
the remark to passing friends that
he had been involved in some trouble
and as things would probably come to
a head before long, thought it best to
be prepared. AS no one had ever
credited him with harboring serious
grudge, nothing was thought of the
matter until the tragedy came to light.
