ed that he had come IN contact with
sharp edges of ore during his pre-
cipltstion.
Mr.. Fannin fingered until Friday
afternoon, when death relieved the
-pangs of pain.

friends as any living person. He was
good natured and Of a jolly dispo-
sItion. To all those who knew him
his word was as good as a govern
anent bond. He was man who
could give and take joke, but was
never known to meddle with the af-
fairs of other people.

Quite number of the order of the

And its storms above.
Ever more that turf lies lightly.
And with future showers,
Ger thy slumbers fresh and briQhtly
Blow the summer flowers"

The greatest sensation yet to
develop in connection with the
alleged violations Of the local op-
tion laws in Ashland, came today
when it became known that the
twentJ freight men who stand indlct.
ed and whose trials will be conduct.
cd duriny the present week before
Judge Wu:ts, of the county, came
through their attorney, Will A.
Young, who entered a civil suit
against Mayor Moore Of Ashland,
charging that they had been dam
aged TO the extent of $4,000 each,
by reason of false arrest. under the
orders of the mayor. There being
% of the defendants, the aggregate
amount claimed in the suits ls $40,
600.
1t is rumored that il is not likely
that Detective Smiley can be pro-
duced to testify and it being through
his evidence that the arrests were
made, the defendants hope to gain
their point. Just what may be
next expected no one can pred ct
but one thing is certain, there ap.

of a serious nature.
1t Is supposed that the rock
loosened by rains came from the
mountain above just in front of
the train which struck 1T full

and turned almost completely
over, pinning Engineer Nuckols
under the heavy machinery. He
was dead when reached and it is
thought that his death was almost

sands Of lifelong Democrats will
either vote against the party or,
what is more likely, refrain from
voting at all. This spirit was
plainly manifested at Charleston
when the result of the senatorial
caucus was made known. Scores
of the "Old Guard" who for thir-
ty years and more had, from the
stump and through the press, ad-
vocated popular government and
opposed corporate interference and
control of the party, were de-
spondent and indignant over the
action of the caucus. Many de-
clared that they were ashamed to

years. 1t was really pathetic to

room Mr.. Davis was found TO be in

Shirley and Bruins were summoned.
The physicians responded and upon
examining the patient found that he
had made mistake in the medicine
bottles; that instead of securing the
tonic he had gotten hold of a phial
containing carbolic acid.
The doctors worked herolcally
with the man in attempting to kill
the effects of the deadly drug, but
were unsuccessful, the patient dy-

That the deadly liquid was taken
through mistake there can hardly
be doubt, as Mr.. Davis was not

the one other fact that Watson

Tor years, rendered the serious
consideration of his candidacy by
a Democratic caucus as absolute

tend that any man of Watson's
moderate abilities, his meagre

obscure political record and
slight claims upon the party, but
minus Watson's money and cor
poration support, would have
found any advocates in the Dem.

Roger Bresnahan, leader of the st.
Louis Cardinals, is the sensation of
the National league this season. With
a team picked to finish about sixth or
seventh, he has forced the pace and
has his Cardinals camped close up on
the leaders. Bresnahan is a graduate
of the McGraw school. He is an az
gressive, resourceful leader and with
but mediocre material is making every
team step to win. His men admire
his fighting spirit and seem imbued
with it. Even if the Cardinals get no
higher than they are at present Bres-
nahan will have earned his salary, and
his performance in landing them as
high as fifth will be met with accla-
nations by the Mound City fans and
baseball sharks everywhere.
