MCNAMARA DEFENSE
SPRINGS SURPRISE
DEFENDANTS REFUSE TO
PLEAD TO CHARGE OF
MURDER.

The defense in the Mcnamara
dynamite conspiracy case sprung
a surprise Thursday when John
j. Mcnamara, the accused lndi-
ana labor leader, and his brother.
James b., were called into Judge
Bordwell's S department of the sv-
perior court.
Both men were summoned to
plead to nineteen charges Of msr-
der, the result of the destruction
of the Times plant. In addition,
John j. Mcnamara was expected
to plead to the charge of con-
spiracy to destroy the Llewellyn
Iron works. Instead he ehalleng-
ed the jurisdiction of the court,
claiming that it had no right "
exact a plea on either the nine
teen charges Of murder or the
Llewellyn Iron works indictment
because he was extradicted fron
Indianapolis not for murder, but
for alleged dynamiting.
A motion for the quashing OF
the indictments was made in the
case of James B. Mcnamara, whs
entered no plea whatever, hold
ing that the indictments against
him should not stand because
Earl Rogers, who acted as a spe-
cial district attorney to aid the
inquisitors during the investiga-
ton, had previously been active
on behalf of the Times and the
Merchants and Manufacturers
association during the search for
evidence.
The prosecution met the move
of the defense with a motion to
disallow the plea to jurisdiction.
An argument ON the relevancy,
of John Mcnamara s action en-
sued.

A Fight On Grasshoppers.

The ravages of grasshoppers IN
western Kansas have become so
serious that the Atchison, Tope-
ka & Santa Fe railroad has an
nounced that it will kill all grass
hoppers along its right-of-way,
and is urging farmers to help
in the work. In Scott, Finney,
Hamilton, Grant and Stevens
counties, the grasshoppers are do
ing great damage, especially to
the alfalfa. II. O. Marsh of the
government bureau of entomology
is conducting the determination
work among the farmers and
helping the railroad.
A poison is being spread over
all the grass and other vegetation
along its right-of-way. The poi
son preparation is one hundred
pounds of bran, four pounds of
Paris green or white arsenic,
three pounds of salt, and four
pounds of molasses with suffl-
cient water to moisten the mix
ture.
The grasshoppers are said to
eat The preparation readily and
it causes death in few minutes.
The railroad company is scatter
ing the poison by the ton, and
many farmers are spreading 1t
also. One Scott county ranch
man has bought three hundred
turkeys to war on the pests.
Governor Stubs has been ask
ed to help the people of Wlnona,
in Logan county, to obtain Paris
green and fly poison. There is
no drug store in Winona, so a
gorcer has been selling these ar
ticles and also wood alcohol. The
Kansas drug law prohibits any
except registered pharmacists
selling poisons and the grocers
were put out of business. The
people therefore have been un-
able to protect themselves against
the pests. The governor has been
petitioned to get a ruling from
the state board of pharmacy to
permit the sale of certain poisons.

Have you noticed that we have
lost good many games by a
failure to hit in the pinchesg
This may be hard luck and it
may be because our batting or
der isn't right. Manager Jack
has been laying awake nights
trying to solve the problem and
has shifted several times with
little results. How would this
do to start it,-McCabe to lead
off. He is sure hitter and a
good waiter. He is fully as fast
after getting to first as Steno
and uses a good deal better judge
ment ON bases. Forester see
ond. He is a good bunter and
has the best base ball head on
offense of any man on the team.
To put Jack in the bunting posi-
tion will keep him from swing
ing at a high, fast ball. Train
or third, a consistent hitter and
the best pinch hitter on the
team. Drum in the cleanup po-
sition. Mcneil next, Tappen,
Steno, Vanderbilt and pitcher.
This looks like the best combin-
alton to the writer and might
bear a trial.

Horse Thieves At Rulo.

A horse and buggy were
stolen at Rulo on the afternoon
of the Fourth. The authorities
here were notified and after a
chase which lasted late in tie
night the thief was caught and
the rig recovered.
The horse and buggy belongs
to Jean Blodgett. The horse was
tied to a hitch rack at Rulo and
when Mr.. Blodgett was ready to
90 home, he discovered that some
one had taken the outfit.
Deputy Sheriff Mcfarland and
Chief of Police Aldrich were soon
at work. They visited Rulo and
soon were hot on the trail and
landed the thief, Russell Cow
hick "a boy of 10 years, at White
Cloud. The horse and buggy
were turned over to the owner
and Cowhick brought to this city
and placed in the county jail.
Cowhick will not talk much.
He says he was drunk, but he
knew enough to make desperate
effort to get away.-News.

And 10! within his morris chair there safe
A ghostly vision, writing slate.

Of noble patriots, whose names may stand
A lasting honor to their native land.

Not much!'' the vision jeered Ben cried, "Skiddoo
But docket as one, you bloomin jay,
Who won't give children firearms, any way!'
The vision sneered but he skiddooed all right
And wasn't again till the next night,
After the Fourth it's deadly work had done,
With rocket rifle cracker, bomb and gun,

The PAST WEEKS
DEATH RECORD
SOME OF RICHARDSON COUN
TVS OLD SETTLERS.
ANDERSON.

Grandma Anderson, as she was
familiarly called, died at her
home in Rulo, Saturday at three
O'Clock p. m., July l, 1911. Mrs.
Anderson had been a sufferer for
many months, but was only con
fined to her bed for a few days
prior to her death, which result
ed from general break down,
which had been going on for a
nnmber of years until the poor
tired heart ceased its troubled
beating. About six years ago
death claimed her oldest daugh-
ter, leaving three little children,
which she helped to care for as
long as life lasted. Within two
years the father of the children
also died, and from then on they
were almost Mrs. Anderson's s sole
care. Shortly afterwards her
husband who had been an invalid
for many months, passed away,
still leaving her a daughter who
had also been sick for a long
time and soon followed her ia
ther in death leaving five little
children whose care the kind old
lady also took unto herself as
long as her helath permitted.
Eighteen months ago her Oldest
brother, Thomas Watts died at
her home after a long illness
through which she helped to
nurse him. As a whole, her last
days were full of sorrow, but
through it all she trusted IN her
Savior's love and died in the
faith of a bright hereafter.
She was kind neighbor and
friend, and will be sadly missed
not only in her home but IN the
entire community. In life she
always welcomed one with a smd
and I'm glad you came .. The
funeral was held at the M. Il.
church, and in spite of the tor
turing heat and sitting dust the
building was crowded with those
who had assembled to pay her
the last tribute. The services
were conducted by Rev. A. +.
Wachtel of Barnard, Nebr. and
the resident pastor, Rev. Pickett
Beautiful flowers bloomed above
the silent sleeper, and they ten
derly laid her to rest by the SIDE
Of her loved ones. She leaves
four sons and numerous grand
children and other relatives VINO
have the sympathy of a host OF
friends in this their sad hour OF
bereavement.
