A KE0KUK POET
OF HOOSlERDOM
From the Keokuk Gate City.

From the Keokuk Gate City.
A real Keokuk poet who hides his light
Under a bushel too much is Rev. DR.. Ezra
Butler Newcomb, pastor of the First
Westminster Presbyterian church. Born
and bred OF q famous Indiana family. DR..
Newcomb has absorbed all the poetry of
that distinctly literary state, and some of
his Hoosier dialect verse is quite as good
poetry, quite as good philosophy and quite
as deep in its insight into Hoosier human
nature as anything James Whitcomb
Riley ever wrote.
This Christmastide, DR.. Newcomb gave
to each OF his friends one of these poems,
printed de luxe, and bearing as a front!sA
piece a wonderfully faithful photograph of
the author. The portrait is autographed.
and above 1t is the couplet:
I'm wishing q mighty good wish for you
Keep y'r Christmas the whole year

SCANLON IS SUED FOR
 $500 COMMISSION

TUCSON, Sept. 2.-Claiming he had not received the fee which he said he had earnedby arranging the sale of the Giant group of mines in Pinal county also known as the Clark-Scan- lon group, F. o. Gill, through Francis M Hartman, his attorney has filed a complaint in the district court against i. A. Clark and Johnny Scanlon claiming $500 for services rendered. Thus after being unhesrd for the past few months in the courts, Johnny Scanlon's name is again mixed in legal proceedings. As to the merits of the case nothing is known beyond the al legations contained in the complaint,
 E. o. Gill in his suit against Clark and Scanlon alleges that Clark is a resident of Arizona and that Scanlon was formerly, but is nov temporarily without its borders. Plaintiff was en- gagged in the business of handling and selling mining properties. In April 196 Clark and Scanlon were anxious to dispose of their Pfnal county proper. ties known as the Giant group. In that month after having entered into an agreement with the owners of the pro perty, Gill secured them such pur. chaser in the Calumet and Arizona company through Col. L. W. Powell it's representative, and that on Auguts 30, 1908. the final payment which was a large sum Of money and plaintiff be- lieves amounted to a sum in the neighborhood of $s0.000 was made and the properties were transferred and conveyed to the purchaser obtained by Gill.
 The complaint recites an agreement between Gill and the defendants by and under which they were to pay him the sum of $500 on the closing of sale with the purchaser he might obtain and alleges that such payment to him has never been made although 1t is demanded.
 The troubles of Johnny Scanlon are too well known in Tucson to require any explicit mention. He Is report ed now to be in good health and we'll cared for.

 It has always been a source of se- rious regret te me to see the youth of the United States sent to foreign countries for their education, often before their minds were formed, or they had imbibed any adequate ideas of the happiness of their own. con tracting too frequently not only hab- it's of dissipation and extravaganza, but principles unfriendly to repubii- can government and to the true and genuine liberties of mankind, which thereafter are rarely overcome.
 For these reasons 1t has been my ardent wish to see a plan devised on q liberal scale which would have a tendency to present systematic ideas through all parts of this rising em- pire. thereby to do away with local attachments and state preiudices as far as the nature of things would, or indeed ought to emit, from our na- tionaI councils"

BABY SHOT IN
 MOTHERS ARMS
Italian Family Fight in a New York Tenement Results in
 Death of Little Child
SHOTS WERE FOR ANOTHER

NEW YORK. Sept. 2-Marria Ger sosino, 3 l-2 years old, was shot three times and killed yesterday afternoon in the hall of the second floor Of 344 East 10th street while her mother, Mrs. Catherine Rivelio. struggled des- perately on a stairway for possession of the revolver.
 The bullets, the police believe, were intended for brother of Mrs. RiYeilo, one of whom earlier in the day had had her husband, Tony, barber, ar rested. Mrs. Riyello's two brothers, James and Chris Curzzio, had found fault with Rivello because he had neg lected his business and did not feel that he was properly looking after their sister. There was a family con ference in the morning between the barber and the woman's two brothers, and as a result James Curzzio had the husband arrested, but later withdrew his complaint and the husband was discharged in the Harlem court by Magistrate MeQuade. Riyello was angry at his arrest and complained to a cousin of the manner in which the Curzzio brothers had treated him The relative replied that the honor of the family had been insulted, and that he would call on the brothers.
 Mrs. Rivello vas preparing some tea for the child when a cousin Of her husband looKed in at the door and in quired where her brothers were. She said she did not know, and the man went up the stairs. Shortly after his departure she recognized the voice of her brother Chris below. She knew, she said, that the man who called on her had a revolver and she ran into the hall to warn her brother of his danger. At that instant the man with the gun was descending the stairs from the third floor. Glancing behind her, she saw that the child had fol- lowed her into the hall. She cried to the little one to go back to the room, but too late.
 The man on the stairs had drawn his gun. Her brother Chris was al- most at the landing of the second floor. Mrs. Rivello sprang up the stairs toward the man above.
 Don't shoot don't shoot.' she cried; you'll kill my baby,"
 She threw herself on the man and struggled desperately with him for possession os the revolver. He fired wildly five times in quick succession. Her brother scampered down the stairs and the child, mortally wound ed, staggered back into the room and fell dead beside the crib of her TO- month-old half brother, Joseph.
 The shooting caused great excite meut in fhe neighhorhood The fhrone in the street became so great and pressed so closely about the house that it was necessary to call out the reserves of the East 10th Street sta ton.
