Killed by a Falling Limb.


Bentlex, La. March %, 1910.
Editor Colfax Chronicle:
Please give space for a few lines in
memory of our friend, j. NJ. Odum,
who departed this life last Saturday,
March 26, at 4:05 p. IN. His death
was caused by a limb from a tree
falling on him, which occurred on
the Iron Mountain Lumber Co.'S.
tram, better known as the Big Greek
works.
There have been two other serious
accidents on these same works, by
men getting their legs broken. and
it seems well for all others to take
warming and be careful.
The deceased was about AZ years
old. and had no family to mourn his
loss. He belonged to the W. o. W.
ut Dry Prong, who with other good
people looked after him until his
death. The accident occurred in the
morning abont 1870 clock, and Mr..
Odum lived until the afternoon a
number of the men looked on him
during his pains and agony. and
some of the boys held him in their
arms while the doctor examined him
and gave him medicine, but it was
all in vain.
His remains were laid 20 rest in
graveyard at Dry Prong on Sunday.
May the good Lord SO move us all
that we may not go down to ever
lnsting woe and misery, but be pre-
pared tosaie should we be suddenly
called as was this man.

LONG HATPIN HAS
BUT FEW FRIENDS
Chicago Council Makes it a
MiSdemeanOr to Wear
Them in Public

CHICAGO. March Alt Is now q misde-
meanor for any woman 10 wear a long
hatpin in public places in Chicago. Any
woman caught wearing one Is liable to
arrest and a fine OF $50. After a months
discussion the city Council. by a vote OF
6S 70 2, passed an ''antl-hatpn' ordinance
II was passed IN spite OF many Kisses
and ''boos' from the galleries. where a
crowd OF women had gathered to protest
against the measure on tho ground that
the city had no right 70 attempt to regu-
late woman's wearing apparel and that
long hatplns often at night formed wo-
mans only weapon OF defense.
The ordinance decrees that mo per-
son" while on tho public streets or in
any street or elevated car or public ele-
vator or other public place shall swear
any hatpin tho exposed point whereof
shall prorude more than half an inch bo-
yound the crown OF the hat In, upon, or
through which such pin Is worn"
II took tho legal advisers OF tho Cor
poration Councils office, tho Judiciary
Committee OF the Council and half dozen
others almost four weeks 20 get tho ordi-
nance ready for passage
The argument for the measure was tina,
long hatpns worn IN crowded places en-
dangered the eyes. noses and faces OF
people when tho vote was announced
cries OF "shamei shamer' came from wo-
men IN the galleries.

Jewess, came forward and was chosen by
the king. While all this was going on
Haman was persecuting the Jews more
