YOUNG nANMURDERED IN THE WEST
Frank Nelson Shot by Western Bully
Remains Brought Home

Western news dispatches recorded
some facts in connection with the brut-
al murder of Frank Nelson, a son Of
Arthur Nelson of BlOomingdale section,
which occurred at Wibaux, Montana,
on a recent date. Or. +. f. Gaines of
the same place confirms the facts as
given in the dispatches. The remains
were brought to the home in this coun-
ty and funeral occurred on September
list, at Bloomingdale.
The facts rs given in the dispatches
are practically as follows, dated at Wi
baux: MAX M. Leakey is under arrest
at Glendive on a charge of numbering
Frank Nelson, late of Westby, Wis,
here, and a criminal information alleg-
ing murder in the first degree has been
filed in the district court.
Young Nelson was employed in liv-
cry barn and Leakey left horse secur-
ed at the barn, standing on the street.
Nelson's employer told MIN to get the
horse and put it in the barn. Euraged
because he could not find the hcrse,
Leakey went to the livery barn and is
said to have shot Nelson point blank,
the bullet going through the lungs and
lodging in the back. Nelson was taken
to Glendive and died shortly after
wards in hospital from hemmorhage.
After the shooting affair with Nell
son, pistol duel followed between
Leakey and Undersheriff Wynt, who at
tempted to arrest him. Leakey had
mounted his horse, which was prancing
about in fright. Finally Leakey fell
from his horse, apparently shot. but in
reality feigning injury. He was dis
armed. A brother of the murdered
man, who also lived at Wibaux, has
taken the body back for burial.

BOOSTERS AND PUSH IS CAN HIP
Our Fair Only Two ska Distant
Get Mex

As the time of holding our annual
fair is drawing near. it might not be
out of place to remind the people of
Vernon county that this is the one
event that all are, or should be. inter-
ested in.
The life and success of the Vernon
county fair does not depend entirely on
the number and kind of officers Of the
association, but depends largely on the
attendance and interest of the public
in general. We have the reputation of
having one of the best county fairs in
the state. While the fair has been a
complete success so far as exhibits and
attractions are concerned, vet it has
net been a success financially. While
the primary object of fair is educa-
tional, yet it would encourage the Off
GERS to greater efforts If the fair can
be made at least self supporting. This
can only be done by your united attend
ance and assistance. While we know,
by trying ever so hard to make the ex-
hibition a success, yet we make mis-
takes, and .ots of them; but if every
one will cone to the fair with the de-
termination o. seeing the good and being
benefited by what they see and heary
they can't help but be well paid for the
time and money that would be spent in
one or two days attendance.
don't care how good farmer, how
successful a merchant, or how we'll you
may be filling any other occupation,
you can't spend a day at the Vir0qua
fair, associating and mixing with the
people who will be there. without learn
ing something you never knew before,
that will be of benefit to you in the fu-
ture.
Agriculture is the foundation of the
prosperity Of our county, our state and
our nation. Every nation is prosperous
and advanced Just in proportion as they
are advanced in agriculture and stock
raising. As the future success or fail
ure of our nation falls to the younger
generations growing up, it is certainly
our duty to give them every chance Ia
| broaden and better their education
along the lines of the foundation of our
| prosperity; and there is no better place
to give them day or two than at the
county fair.
Now don't stay at home and say that
| the fair is run by clique in the inter
est of a few, for it is not; Il is run for
the benefit and interest of everyone in
the coruty. So come to the fair and
bring lie children, for they will enjoy
it and be benefited by it, and so viii
you. Also bring something along t.
exhibit and help make the fair a sue
cess; be booster. not a a kicker; be ar
optimist, not a pessimist; remember
the little verse that says:
'Twixt optmist and peaaimist the difference Il
drol'.
The optimist secs the douRbnut and the peasi
mist the hole"
Then come TO the fair. Let people
know that you live in Vernon county
and arr glad of il; for it is the best
county and has the best people living
in il of any county in the world, | think
and 80 ought you. G. y. FISHER.

OBSERVERS FUN AND SENTIMENT
Some Pleasant Catches That re Ex-
pressive

Some man with great deal of spare
time and head for figures has estimat-
ed that the American people lose $l0,-
600, 900 year by failing to stir their
coffee, thus wasting the sugar which
remains at the bottom. This may be
correct, but why choose such an insig-
nificant example of wastefulness as
that? Think of 80, 900, 900 people wear
| ing clothes all summer when they would
be vastly more comfortable as well as
richer, without them. Who will esti-
mate this waste?
We do not laugh enough. There is
nothing more pleasant to the ear than
the merry laugh of happy, joyous
person, and nothing drives away gloom
and care like a god, hearty laugh.
Laughter and good humor make hap
by pleasant home, and a cheerful bright
home is the greatest safeguard against
| the temptations for the young. Par
ents should guard against this and
spare no pains to make home cheer
full spot.
Homel What hallowed name; how
full of enchantment and how dear to
every heart. How it touches every fl
bre of the soul and strikes every chord
Va NbN WIN Atc AAkIuN
fingers. Nothing but death can break
the spell. What tender associations
are linked with home. What pleasing
images and deep emotions it awakens.
1t calls upon the fondest memories of
life, and opens in our nature the pur-
est, deepes richest, gush of conse-
Grated thought and feeling. Home.
home. There is no place like home.
Home of our childhood How affection
clings and hovers round thee with her
seraph wings.
To the toll worn, rest is sweet. To
those suffering with pain and illness,
rest is delightful. Those who have
been wandering away from home a
long time, how ioyfully they look for
ward to the blessed day set for their
homecoming, and meeting with the
loved ones from whom they have been
parted for awhile. And what is de-
parting from this world to the "better
land" but rest from life's toiling wear
mess and wandering? Really and tru-
ly, going home to be forever with our
Lord, entering into His rest"
And yet, we mourn the departure of
those we love. With aching hearts,
and bitter tears we bid them farewell
for all time. Why? Because our lives
must henceforth go apart. We see
their smiling faces, we hear their sweet
voices no more on earth. The hearty
hand-clasp, the loving word Of cheer,
of warning, or of approval and helpful
commentator, shall be given no more
in this world. And how we do miss
them every day we livel This is quite
natural; indeed il would be contrary to
the very laws of nature for US not to
grieve over lifelong loss, so great,
so grievousl Time may help US, If we
are young, and can hope to live long
enough, TO grow accustomed to our
loneliness; and form new friendships.
But heart wounds do not heal right
away, sometimes they have even prov
en- fatal. Poor human nature can only
endure about so much. And so, our
divine Lord knowing so well the limita-
tons of His followers strength TO en-
dure toll, suffering, and heart-sorrow,
he's given rs the sweet hope of our one
day "entering into His rest.

deavor. For more than a decade the
poisonous fangs of factionalism, spite,
hatred and envy have made enemies of
neighbors and families. Mr.. Tucker is
one of the victims of that reign of ter
ror. He was not strong enough men
tally to resist the shafts that were di-
rected at him.
Madison reports concerning the UNI
fortunate affair are in substance that
f'Mr.. Tucker was accused OF sending out
campaign literature, or having it sent
out in his interest, in "government"
stamped envelopes belonging - the
state. Envelopes of this kind, bearing
postmark of Madison, MIR. Tucker S
headquarters, and of Neillsville, his
home, We're shown to politicians and
correspondents and the incident gained
wide publicity. Whether or not Mr.
Tucker was guilty of this use of state
stationery is not known; an investiga-
ton had been started but it has dis
closed nothing definite, but he seems
to have brooded over it, to have felt
that he was disgraced and in moment
of mental responsibility due to worry
over the situation and possibly over its
effect on the campaign, to have COM
mitted suicide.
