two fishermen Of the Cool Spring
section, went down to Hughes's Land
ing on q fishing trip recently and
were attacked by a man, who they
supposed to be- crazy. He was we'll
armed with pistol and breach-load
::lg gun. After having caught AMI
cooked fish for their supper, he step
red up and began to talk. They ask
ed him where he was from. and he
aid he was from Darlington, an
then named several othe" place $
which Re claimed to be from. lie took
the fish, which they had caught and
cooked, and ate them himself and
tICn commanded the fishermen - st
some spliG.ers to prepare a light to
go digging in shallow water They
were off and, instead Of getting the
splinters, hooked up their mule and
drove very rapidly to JordanViIle,
where they camped out for the night
Our sympathy is with the fishermen,
who had to give up their fish after
catching and cooking them for their
own purpose.

of a new executive.
Calls for Harmony.

Cdl1S lUI
In concluding Gen. Diaz appealed
to the patriotism Of the people, CALL
ing upon them to act together for the
peace and progress of the nation, and
eulogized the army.
At no place in the manifesto is
there made mention of a new election.
According to the constitution resig-
nation is equivalent to death so far
as it affects the succession. The vice
president would assume the executive
chair, and he in turn would be fol-
lowed by the minister of foreign af-
fairs. In this case the vice president
is seriously sick and is in Europe on
an eight months leave of absence IN
an endeayor to regain his health.
Should Vice President Corral not be
back in the country at the time the
president leaves his post, the new in
cumbent would be Senior de Ia Barra,
the choice of the rebels themselves
for provisional president. What course
affairs would take once the vice pres1-
dent or the minister was in power re-
main to be seen.

PREFERS DEATH TO SURRENDER.
Refuses to Follow Example OF Pal
and Give Up After killing Iowa
Marshal.

Jefferson, Iowa, May 7.-Marshal
Busby, of Patton, Iowa, and a bank
robber were killed and highWayman
seriously injured in clash between
sheriqIs posse and the bandits early
this morning, at a school house two
miles from Patton.
This morning at o'clock the high
waymen blew safe in the postof1ce
at Patton, taking several hundred
dollars in stamps and money. Busby,
with posse, started in pursuit of the
robbers. The posse came upon
school house near Patton. The mar
shal went to the door, and upon open
ing it was shot dead. One of the rob-
bers dragged the body into the school
house. Then fusillade of shots was
begun between the robbers and the
posse.
Shielded by MarshaPs Body.
The body of Busby was propped up
in the window as blind, from behind
which the robbers fired on the posse.
By this time another posse arrived,
The combined posses then poured
fusillade into the windows and doors
of the school house. Finally, one Of
the robbers staggered through the
front doorway badly wounded, saying:
Boys, l surrender, but my pal is CO.
ing to fight till you get him.
Shot Through the Heart.
The lone bandit was given a chance
to surrender, but he refused. The fight
was renewed. All the time the dead
marshal's body was hung up against
the window and the robber was firing
from behind il. The fusillade lasted
for 80 minutes. Finally the posse saw
the robber stagger and Busby's body
fell from the window. A rush was
made for the door. The robber was
found dead, with a bullet through his
heart
The wounded robber refuses to give
his name. His leg is shattered and
will have to be amputated.

the Time.

The subscriptions to the park for
NeWberry continue to come in, and,
while none of them are large, in the
aggregate we can make up the amount
if We can secure enough small ones.
We would prefer to have the amount
made up of small subscriptions rath-
er than in one or two large ones. This
is to be the peoples park, and if ey-
erybody is interested, of course, it
follows that everybody will take more
pride in keeping the park UP to the
standard.
We already have sufficient amount
subscribed to assure the park, and to
begin operations. Of course, we
would prefer to have a little more, but
it is the hope of those who are in
terested in this movement to organ
ize the Park association, and to begin
laying out the grounds in the very
near future Let everybody who is
interested come along now and get in

The wedding was remembered for years.
There was no hint of future glory in the

wrote Nicolay and Hay. "All accounts repre-
sent her as handsome young woman of
twenty-three, of appearance and intellect SUI
perior to her lowly fortunes. She could read
and wrfte-a remarkable accomplishment in
her circle-and even taught her husband to
form the letters of his name He had no such
valuable wedding gift to bestow upon her; he
brought her to little house in Elzabethtown
where he and she and want dwelt together in
fourteen feet square"
For two happy but needy years the couple
lived in log cabin on the banks of what was
then known as Mill creek Picture to your
self that home of the young bride-a single
room, with huge fireplace, where logs burned
in winter; an iron pot suspended from crane
rough chairs hewn by the carpenter husband
of logs, number of crude benches, a bed
made of rough trees from which the bark had
not been removed, spinning wheel by which

In their life of Lincoln Nicolay and Hay write:
Thomas Lincoln settled down in this dis
NAL solitude to a deeper poverty than any OF
his name had ever known; and there in the
midst of the most unpromising circumstances
that ever witnessed the advent of hero into
this world, Abraham Lincoln was born on Feb
ruary IL, 1S09."
The family. however, could not have been
extremely destitute, for, we told. they had
COW and calf milk and butter and feather
bed. What wealth! When Abraham was four
the family moved again-this time to cabin,
situated on Muldraugh's hill. There third
child was born. which died when few months
old.
OF the life of Nancy Lincoln at this time
nothing has been written. OF his boyhood
Lincoln himself seldom spoke. But one can
imagine the patient woman, alone and unas-
sisted, performing the work of her household,
tending the COWS and milking them, making
butter, cleaning the meagerly furnished cabin
in which the family lived, cooking and spin
ming cloth Of which she made the garments for
her husband, little Sarah and Abe.
