Makes Bond Readily

Decatur, November 23.-(Special) )--John w. Knight local manager of the defunct cotton firm of Knight, Yancey & Co.,, which failed few months ago for about S600O,O00, was arrested here today by Deputy United States Marshal Root and taken to Huntsville, where he was placed under $90,0O0 bond
 The arrest was made on five indict- ments recently found by the United States grand jury at Huntsville, each in- dictment charging fraudulent use of the mails in connection with the transaction of the business of the firm of Knight, Yancey & Co.,
 MT. Knight was accompanied to Huntsville by 10 of the most prominent business men of the Decaturs whose bond would be good for fully $25o,0OO. The bond was readily made and MT. Knight returned home late this afternoon. He mingled freely with his friends in conver- sation on the streets here. His closest friends here say that he is guilty of no crime, and that there is no reason why he should not be acquitted. When asked for a statement MT. Knight merely said "I have nothing whatever to say at this time."

COMET PARTIES
BEING ORGANIZED
They Won't Go Home Until
Morning, Until the Comet
Doth Appear

Have you seen the comet?
That question is getting to be quite a
common one in Wilmington and there are
few score people who are able to ans
wcr it in the affirmative, for comet-gaz-
ing In the early hours of the morning is
becoming popular. Some of the local en-
thusiasts are organizing comet parties.
Halley's namesake is now visible to
the unaided vision. provided that vision
is out Of bed early enough. Just at pres
ent, the celestial wandered has no time
for sleepy heads and the person who
wants to get a look at the once-in-seven-
ty-five-years visitor must be up and do
ing by $3.50 in the morning, with eyes d.
rected toward the East
Those who arc opposed to early ris-
ing merely for the purpose of seeing a
comet with a tail a few million miles
long win have an opportunity later on
in the month to see the visitor before
going to bed. On May IS the comet
crosses the sun and will be at its near
est to the earth. After that date it will
be seen in the evening skies, in the
West after tho sun sets. and will then
become a large and brilliant object It
will have a tail about three or four
times the apparent size Of the sun or
the noon-that is, II will be as long as
three or four suns or moons placed edge
10 edge in a row.. This win be teh best
time to view the comet for the ordinary
person, who does not use a telescope,
and, in fact, will be better seen with
out a telescope than with one. BY this
time It is expected that its tail, now
rapidly growing as the come ap-
proaches, will measure about 100000
miles.
The comets trip across the sun on May
is will be of great interest. but will not
be visible in this part of the world. for
at the time It occurs there will be no sun
visible here. The Time of this transit
will be about 1852 p. m, our time Yet
we may be able to sec some of the ef-
fects of this transit, astronomers say. If
the comets tail is 100000 miles long
nearly 100000 miles of the tail will ex-
tend beyond the earth. for the comets
head will be but 100000 miles from the
earth. SO at, say, II o'clock on the night
Of May is. as the earth is passing through
the tan OF the comet. we should be able
to see in the northwestern skies faint
light, like the aurora borealis or like the
zodical light. The transit should be OF
great interest II tho particles which
make up the head OF the comet are as
great as ten miles in diameter, these
should appear like small dots during the
passage Of the comet across the face Of
tho sun.
After May IS the comet will be fine
object in the Western skies after sun
set. The tail win be long enough to be
impressive. and this sight will remain,
with daily diminishing size. until the
middle Of June. when the comet will again
be too far away TO be seen by the OBJ
server without a telescope.

he Stomach and How
To Cure It's Ills, Free

More thought is being given TO the
stomach today than to any other or

things are suggested, but the fact re-
mains that we have to eat and that in

way of remedying an evil when we

Damages Claimed for Death of
Daughter.

John L. Gale, Of Willmar, father
of Miss Goldie Gale. who was murder
ed by John Mcclure at the latter's S

of the county on the evening of the
18th Of May last has commenced pro-
ceedings against the Estate Of John
Mcclure for the sum of $3.50.
claimed as damages for the loss of
his daughter. who Was,the main sup
port of himself, an invalid wife and
three helpless minor children. The
petition sets forth among other things
that John L. Gale is fifty-six years of
age, in poor health and for eighteen
months prior to the death of his
daughter, had been unable to work
for the support of his family on ac-
count of the necessity of caring for an
invalid wife, both of whom. together
with three minor children were wholly
dependent upon the wages of the mur-
dered girl. That on the 18th day of
May 1910. Miss Goldie Gale was en-
gagged in teaching school in the neigh
borhood and boarding with the family
Of John Mcclure consisting of himelf
and mother and sister Agnes and on
the evening of that day. John Mcclure
without any cause or provocation
whatever wrongfully and cruelty kill
ed the young lady named by shooting
her twice in the back with a shot gun
and then cruelty beating her on the
head with the stock and butt of the
gun until life was extinct.
That as a result of the shock, pain
and anguish caused by the violent and
unnatural death of her daughter, Mrs.
Gale. mother of the girl, who had
been an invalid for some months prior
thereto. died within few days there
after. AS a result Of this unfortunate
tragedy the Gale family are left in
deplorable condition. 1t will be re-
membered that John Mcclure commit
ed suicide shortly after committing
this rash act. He left an estate
worth about $25, ZOO. The heirs Of
the estate have refused to compensate
the Gale family in any manner for
their terrible loss.> declining even to
pay the funeral expenses or any part
thereof. Whatever the technicalities
of law may provide there can be no
doubt but that justice and equity would
allow this family substantial compen-
sation for their irreparable loss. -

Office Sought the Man.

S. C. Murphy. formerly of this
city. was elected county attorney of
Cook county by a vote of 156 to 40
for his opponent, Mr.. McAlpine. The
contest was a peculiar one. according
to the Cook County News-Herald,
which says -
"But the great surprise of the day
was the election of county attorney.
Opposition to Mr.. McAlpine's re-
election did not appear until the day
before election, when some quiet talk
was heard favorable to S. C. Murphy
for the place, although the latter had
all through the campaign persistently
refused to become candidate and did
up to he last moment. it appears, try
to discourage the movement. The
result. therefore. was as a thunder
bolt from clear sky to candidates
and people alike. The agitation
having started so late that it could
not possibly reach all parts of the
county before voting time it was not
looked upon seriously by anybody" :"

Got Sen. Nelson to Come West.

Glenwood Herald Senator Nelson
spent whole day in Glenwood last
week. He came on Friday morning
and left again Saturday morning for
Sauk Centre. where he was to speak
in the evening.
On Friday forenoon in company with
7. T. Ofsthun. he walked out to the
home Of Andrew ferguson and the
Halvor Halvorson farm. Mr.. Nelson
and Mr.. ferguson have been friends
for many years and he spent some
time visiting at the ferguson home.
He was acquainted with the late
Halvor Halvorson from Wisconsin.
Mr.. 'Halvorson was one of the earliest
settlers in the county and on one of his
visits to Wisconsin he advised Nelson,
who was then practicing law in Dane
county. Wis. to come west. 1t was a
result of following Mr.. Halvorson's S
advise that Mr.. Nelson moved west.
Mr.. Halvorson had therefore much to
do in giving Minnesota her grand old
man.
Mr.. Nelson it seems never forgets
his old friends. He likes to meet
the old soldiers and Mr.. ferguson and
the other old soldiers of Pope county
sat on the stage while he spoke.
