 Stringer and a MT. Henderson were driving along the road in a buggy when the team became frightened and started torun away. MT. Stringer jumped from the bug gy and in doing so injured one an- kle in such a manner that it was necessary to amputate his foot. The foot was amputated just above the ankle and MT.

SHOT HIS SON-IN-LAW
Eugene Burton is Given a Rather Unwelcome Reception by
 His Father-in-Law

Eugene Burton was shot and painfully injured Thursday of last week by Alec Hays, his father-in- law, at the formers home in Fair view township.
 The trouble arose over the mar riage of Hays daughter to Burton against the wishes of her father. Burton had been paying his atten- tions to Hays daughter for some time, contrary to the wishes of her father. A few days ago the young lady and Burton eloped and were married. Hays ire is said to have reached white heat when he learn of his daughters marriage and he went out on the warpath in search of his unwelcomce son-in-law. The young man and his father were in the field at work when Hays came up armed with shotgun. It seems that young Burton was the only one present unarmed. A pitched battle was narrowly averted, and during the melee Burton Jr made a hike for the tall timber. When some distance away, Hays fired at him, nearly the full load of shot taking eftectin his back and should CTS. Fifty-odd shot are said to have been taken effect in his person, but fortunately he was so far away that the shot did not penetrate very deep. He was not dangerous ly injured and at last accounts was getting along very well.

key, and elect corrupt men to make and enforce the laws that are responsible for present condi- tiOnS.
 They are primarily resonsible for the downward career of many a poor boy that is torn from d mothers arms and placed in pris- on or upon the hangman's scaffold.
 Many are the heart-rending hu- man tragedies that have been en- acted as the result of liquor; and who IS responsible for its sale? Most assuredly its not the women.
 Many a poor boy has filled a drunkard's grave, and 1t should make your heart burn within you to hear the mothers last farewell forever, knowing that the Bible says no drunkard can ever enter Heaven. Thousands of women have passed through this ordeal, all on the account of such trifing pieces of humanity as Solomon.
 God pity such menl It is such as him that are spreading over the world a mantle of sorrow, and are sowing the seed of corruption and and destroying the souls of countless thousands.
 This IS why woman, whom God placed on earth for the glory of man, thinks she can no longer bear such treatment. She feels that 1t IS her duty to try to protect her self, as some men care nothing for the welfare of the wife, mother, and sister.
 When men come to consider more the needs and pleasures of the home and the Well-being of the wife, mother and daughter, then this women voting business will cease.
 Now, poor ignorant Sol, the next time you attempt to prove from Gods word that whiskey is a ne- cessity, get some woman to teach you the lessons set forth in the chapters you select. Leave off your whiskey, and maybe your little mite of brain will discharge the yellow matter that is puffing you up and making you think you have the brain of a king.

4 GREAT VICTORY WON
I. and R. is rIade Effective in Manner Very DispIeasing to
 the Liquor Interests

One of the strongest and most closely contested fights of the legis- lature was pulled off in the Senate during the last days of the extra ordinary session over the enabling act of the Initiative and Referen- dunn amendment to the constitu- ti0n of the state.
 Under the initiative and refer endum amendment the people of the state, or any county or muni- cipality, reserve to themselves the right to propose and enact laws or to kill laws enacted by the legisla- ture affecting the state, county or municipality, as the case may be.
 Under the initiative, eight per cent of the voters of the state, county or municipality may peti- tion with a copy of a law proposed and vote on 1t at the next general election, and if a majority vote for 1t 1t Is law without the aid or con- sent of the legislature. Any law must be initiated not less than four months before the general election.
 Under the referendum five per cent of the voters of the state, county or municipality may petition for vote on any law passed by the legislature, and if a majority vote against 1t, the law Is killed. Any petition to refer law to the people must be filled within three months after the adjournment of the legislature.
 This initiative and referendum amendment in other states applies to the people of the entire state or county, while 1t will be observed that this goes further and applies to each municipality.
 There are 6 counties in the state that are dry and only twelve that are wet. The whiskey people did not like the proposition of see ing election after election add to the dry counties in the state, and knew that their last stand was not far off. They hoped to be able with the use of money 10 prevent the entire state from going dry, under the initiative at a general election, and after getting through a prop osition in this constitutional amendment to allow each munich pality to propose and enact a law they quietly supported the amend ment. The whiskey people were joined in this proposition by the gamblers of Hot Springs and few other towns who wanted race tracks and other gambling institu- tions, including Sunday baseball for the cities.
 The enabling act to put this amendment to the, constitution in force, had to be passed by the legislature. Under what was known as the Pipkin bill, or house bill No. 2, it was provided thatno local law

WOMAN IS SENT TO JAIL
Yrs. Mary BagwelI Charged With Murder Of f4-Year-Oid
 Tommy Baker

As result of the preliminary trial held here Monday before Jus tice E. M. Wilson, Mrs. Mary Bag we'll was remanded to jail without bond on a charge of having mur- dered Tommy Baker, whose body was found in White river some six. miles southeast of Newark, on Monday of last week.
 Her boy, Sylvester, who was be- ing held as an accomplice, was dis charged, it being shown that he was only eleven years old and therefore not amenable to the criminal law.
 Mrs. BagWell was taken to Bates vile Monday night by Constable W. L. McAhron and placed in jail to await the action of the grand jury. Her attorneys will take the case before Judge K. E. Jeffery at Newport in an effort to secure bail for the woman.
 Practically no new details were brought out in the trial of the case Monday, except the testimony of Dr. V. L. Pascoe, who together with Dr. L. C. Poe and Dr. A. A. Evans, performed an autopsy up- on the body of the dead boy early Friday morning. Dr. Pascoe testi- fled that the examination of the lungs showed that the boys death was not caused from drowning, but that the boy was dead before being thrown into the river. Death was caused by the neck having been broken from a blow on the back of the neck, according to Dr. Pascoe's testimony.
 Dr. Pascoe's testimony shows that some one IS responsible for the boys death, and that it was not accidental, but some one murdered the boy and threw the body into the river in an attempt to coverup the crime.
 A rumor gained circulation be- fore the trial that some parties had witnessed the murder from the opposite side of the river, but this proved to be unfounded. It was also rumored that the dead boys step-mother was implicated in the affair, but nothing was developed in support of this except that the step-mother was not on good terms with the boy and did not treat him as we'll as she might have done.
 The testimony against Mrs. Bag well was wholly circumstantial. But 1t was shown that she is the

WOMAN'S INFERI0RITY
1t Exists Only in the Diseased Mind of Weddings of Sol-
 omon's Type

MT. Editor.-I wish to say to the readers of The Journal that 1 am glad there are some women who have the nerve, and sympa- thy enough for Solomon to try to learn him something. It may be a very difficult matter, however, owing to the scarcity of his inte- lect.
 We find from reading the Bible that man that is born of woman is of few days and full of trouble. But a man that Just growed," 1 don't suppose he has any troubles, but seems to have a continuation of days. Possibly his troubles are diSpelled by his wine, and he whiles away his time trying to prove his lordship over the female sex. Sol might use his time at something more profitable tohim than harping on the women. He reminds me of a hound on a back track; cant do anything but make a noise.
 1 don't think 1t necessary to mo- tice his scriptural references, for any sane person who ever read them knows that they never taught the first nor last of the subject like he wanted 1t to ap- pear. He should get some inteli- gent woman to teach him what a temperance lesson is, and to try to impress upon his feeble mind that it is his duty to heed its teachings. 1 have read the chapter in Prov erbS he refers to and find where the good women are valued far above rubies, and that their child ren rise up and call them blessed, and their husbands praise them.
 Don't you wish you were that kind of a man, Sol, instead of one that "just growed?'
 l for one have never thought much on the subject of women voting. 1 know there has always been a noble work for woman to do. The angel sent woman to bear the news of the risen Savior, which was the grestest news of the earth. We read of many in- stances too numerous to mention where women were selected by our Savior for noble purpose, and l have never found a single verse of scripture where the Lord said for man to make a servant of his wife. Neither have 1 ever found one word against the woman try ing to help protect her children from the evils of the land. When 1 speak of women, 1 mean good women. 1 know we have bad women as we'll as bad men that are making their way down to the bottom pits of hell, and they are turing many a good woman's sons and daughters to the downward path. And what have they got to help them? The saloon, with its soul destroying contents. How come 1t so? The law says it can be so. Who made the law? Just such men as Solomon.
 Its the men who vote for whis-
