DERED At CLAY
Slayer Grabbed by Officer and
Hustled to the County Jail at
Dixon

Nl1y, hysy ITO SlNy 10
greatly stirred up tonight over a
cold blooded shooting Sunday, in
which Daniel B. Jenkins a well
known restaurant man, was
the victim Of three pistol shot
wounds, inflicted by White Penn
berton, also we'll known bust
ness man.
The men were rivals in bust
ness and the tragedy occurred
shortly after they had made a
4 futile effort to patch up differ
Vences of several years standing
That Jenkins was unprepared
for such an attack is evidenced
by the fact that he was holding
the reins of a horse when the
fatal shots were fired. 1t is I'M
derstood the murderer will plead
f-defense. Pemberton was
arrested directly after the shoot
ing and was hustled to the coun-
ty jail at Dixon. He refused to
throw any light upon the nature
of his quarrel with Jenkins.
The shooting occurred on one
of the principal business corners
of the town. The men had re-
turned from a ride into the
country yesterday morning. AS
they stopped their horse at Main
and Elm streets. Jenkins was
seen to raise up and strike Penn
berton in the face with his first.
According TO the best reports,
Pemberton did not strike a blow
in return. Both were seen to
step out Of the buggy on oppo-
site sides. Jenkins had one
hand on the front wheel of the
buggy and in the other hand he
held the reins of the horse.
Pemberton whipped a revolver
from his pocket and quickly
fired at the man across the bug
gy from MIN.
The shot entered his lungs
just above the heart. Jenkins
fell and as he did so, writing in
apparent agony, Pemberton
fired two more shots which enter
ed Jenkins back. The last two
shots were fired underneath the
bed of the buggy and, according
to one eye witness, Pemberton
had to stoop down in order to
get unobstructed sight with his
revolver. Jenkins was stretch
ed on his side when the last two
shots were fired which enter
ed his back above the heart It'll
is said that either one of the
three shots would have proven
fatal.
Pemberton and Jenkins has
been competitors here in the
restaurant business for several
years. Their stores were in the
same block and they were only a |
few doors apart. 1t is said that
an unsual jealousy would springl
up between them whenever
either seemed to be getting the
best of it in the trade they were
accorded by their tOwnsmen.
To all appearances the troubles
over their business had come to
an end early yesterday when
they were seen to get into bug
gy they hired from a livery sta
BILE and drive into the country.
1t is said they took some liqu-
or with them into country. 1t
is denied that either was intoxi-
Gated, but it has been ventured
that the imbibing of the spirits
may have had the effect of max
ing them forget the mending of
their old breach over their bust
ness. Three or four men were
standing on the corner when the
shooting occurred. Boyd Waugh

Of land seekers has been recently

SCA0OLHOUSE IS DYNAM|TED|
SCARE, IN LITE TOWN AS ExPLo.
SlONS AWAKE PEOPLE,.
Fire Heretofore Has Boon the Weapon.
Of Unknown
Forces.

Minneapolis, July 13.-Two attempts
we're made to blow up the little frame
sjnoolhouse in the village of Hamel,
Medina township. rs miles from Min
neapolis.
A saloon war, which has resulted in
three attempts to burn the saloon of
John Stott within the last Is months,
is thought to be at the bottom of the
attempt to destroy the school.
Incidentally the affair has brought
to light the fact that the board of
county commissioners Illegally granted
licenses to the two Hamel saloons, one
for IA years and the other for two
years.
Neiehborhood 10 Aroused.
At 4 o'clock in the morning the neigh.
borhood was awakened by q loud ex.
plosion and upon investigation it was
found that kerosene had been poured
in the vestibule and q stick of dyna-
mite exploded there. The explosion,
however, put out any fire which might
have started.
Hamel is not an incorporated village
and the law requires that the county
commissioners grant no license to a
saloon which is within 1900 feet of
schoolhouse.
For the past IA years James Sheri-
dan has conducted saloon $40 feet
from the school without protest
The saloon Of John Stott, 1,l19 feet
from the school, was first given
license May 25, 1908, and has had
permit ever since, renewal being
granted May 25.
Since March 3. 1909, there have been
three attempts to burn the Stott sa-
loon. On the night of March 81, Will
fam Hamel, who lives near by, saw a
man pouring kerosene on the side of
the saloon and trying to light it. He
gave chase firing three shots over Ham
els head
On April 1S, 1909, at 4:3O a. NJ, an
other attempt was made to burn the
place. and last fall private detec-
tive employed by Stott found a bus
die of dry wheat straw and kerosene
under the floor. This is still on exhi-
bition as curio in the place.

'priation for the survey Of public lands,
not only in the United States, but in
Alaska.
/ "The interior department secured
through congress more substantial
Legislation at the last session than for
several years previous. "A very fine

department, but the other departments
as well. feel particularly glad that

I, This is season of glacial advance

Pennsylvania railroad was at present
sustaining heavy losses in having "a
900 freight cars and $50 locomotives
idle, due to- falling of in freight
business, and that any increase in ex-
penses now would be out of the ques.
ton. ,-l 49,.
Mr.. Garretson recalled that the LIE.
high Valley railroad had defeated the
strikers in 1898, but as cost of ST.

the road could not stand any increase
in expenses, and that the whole ques-
ton was one Of money so far as he
was concerned.
