WENDLING UP FOR LIFE.
End of Trial OF Celebrated Case Of
Brutal Killing.

Louisville, KY, Dec. 3.-Joseph
Vending was found guilty, by a
Jury, of the murder of S-year-old
Alma Kellner, and his punishment
fixed at life imprisonment The Jury
was given the case at 6.20 p. M, and
announced the verdict at 1910.
Vending was talking to his wife,
Mrs. Madeline Vending, when the
verdict was announced. He remain
ed perfectly calm.
EITHER killed the little girl or
did not" Vending said. "They
should either send me to the electric
chair or turn me free"
The verdict came after day spent
in argument by attorneys and the
reading Of the Instructions of Judge
Gregory. Although there were four
possible verdicts the jury might have
returned under the instructions of
the court, the verdict was merely
murder"
The evidence presented against
Vending was purely circumstantial.
Since his arrest and throughout his
trial he denied any knowledge OF the
fate Of the Kellner child.
Witnesses testified, however, that
Vending, then janitor at st. johns S
Catholic church, was seen in the
church the morning Alma Kellner
last went there to mass. The child
was never seen again and months
later charred and dismembered por-
tons of her body were found hidden
beneath the church music room.
Alma Kellner was the daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Kellner. OF this
city, and a niece Of Frank Fehr.
miner, brewer and business man, who
spent much time and money in the
search for the child and in the prose
cution Of Vending.

PREPARE NOW FOR 1911 CROP.
Look After Your Stock, Your Ter
races and bitches.

Editor Keowee Courier: Please
give me small space for the dem
onstration work
Brother farmer, now is the time
for us to do the ground work for the
coming year. We should first lay
our plans, and see that they are
properly and wisely laid, for If we
start right we are on the road to
success from the very start. Incl
dentally we should make some al
lowance for misfortune, such as wet
seasons, extreme drought and
storms and SO on; so now Is the
time to fix your land so as to avoid
its washing next spring and sum
mer. Commence not at the foot Of
the hill, but at the top, end be sure
that when YOU have drained the
water out Of the field that 1t does
not run back somewhere between
where 1t runs out and the bottom Of
the hill. | have seen that on some
farms this year. If your lands are
steep YOU cannot expect a terrace to
hold the water; it is not oasona-
bic to think that it would We are
compelled TO let the land wash or
use some bitches. You may not
think that you need ditch, but af-
ter your lands are cut into gullies
it will be very difficult for you to get
the ditch to stand 1t is much easier
to ditch when you first discover that
1t Is necessary. a
Then, too, we should get all Of the
decaying matter possible, such as lit
ter out OF the woods. Old brush
leaves and the top Of the ground out
Of the woods are among the finest
things to hold moisture that can be
found in our country. This requires
some labor, but we have got big
load to contend with, and the longer
we plant the lands in cultivate Bile
crops this same state OF affairs will
be ours.
We are made to believe that Dr.
Knapp and Mr. Williams have been
instrumental in causing numbers Of
farmers OF OcOnee county to see the
need OF special business efforts in
farm life. great many confer the
honor on my part Of the work. |
have tried to be loyal to my calling.
| have done what l thought 10 be
the best in every mans individual
case, b&t Notwithstanding all that ]
have made some mistakes do
want to see this great work prosper,
and want to see it so badly that |
am going to try to make it prosper.
Take special care of the live stock.
That is very important matter.
Make all the manure you possibly
can; keep your ashes to themselv es
do not put lime with your stable
manure, for either is injurious to il.
The years work for 1910 is al
most done and my appreciation to
the general public is great. feel
like l have made one of the hardest
pulls OF my life, and imagine that
have felt the load move. Some of
the toughest hills are surveyed
around, and we hope to grade them
before spring SO as to cause Oconee
county to see progress on every
farm in tiff it Is in my power. am
at the peoples service to the very
best OF my ability. Very truly,

INSURGENTS ATTACK TOWN.
People of Texas Fear TrOublc-PcacC
Commissions Mission Unfulhllcd.

El Paso, Texas, Dec. A mes
sage from Presidio, Texas, states
that the town Of Ojinaga, Mexico,
across the river from Preside, is be-
ing attacked by insurgents. Heavy
firing Is heard in the Mexican town,
and inhabitants are crossing the
river in terror-stricken condition.
Deputy Collector Weissingar, Of
the United States customs service,
has telegraphed Eagle Pass for sol
diers to protect the customs house
at Presidio.
1t is said, that the jefe politico at
Ojinaga is arming and drafting all
able-bodied men into service to pro-
tect the town.
Apprehension in Texas.
a telegram from Marsa, Texas, to-
night is to the effect that apprehen-
sion prevails at both Preside and
Canadelria, 80 miles south, on the
Texas side Of the Rio Grande, owing
to the revolutionary disorders re-
ported Oh the Mexican side. Nothing
definite has yet been learned Of the
reported fight at Ojinaga Saturday
night. Firing has been heard at in
tervals, but so far as can be learned,
there has been nc loss OF life.
The few Americans living along
the river at Preside and Cana ;eleria
have been standing guard at the
river bank, and it is hoped by the in
habitants that the government will
send troops to preserve order.
Peace Commission Returns.
Chihuahua, Mexico, Dec. 4.-The
peace commission returned to this
city and reported that their work
was greatly embarrassed by soldiers
following at their heels. At Guer-
rero, just as they were beginning to
talk with the insurrcctos, a peon ar
rived with word that the soldiers
were on the way, whereupou the
meeting promptly came to an end.
AT Guerrero and also at San An
tonic, the commissioners were told
that the MeXicans' grievance Is
against the State government, rather
than against DiaZ. To-day telegrams
were exchanged with the capital with
reference to the proposals that the
government forces be halted pending
another conference between the con.-
mission and the insurrectos.

so, a negro attache of Wolcott' s
