Ralph Cameron, delegate in Congress
from the territory of Arizona, tells the
story of the most lugu5rious invitation
ever sent though the mails. It was en-
graved on white gilt edged card, and
signed by the sheriff of Tucson.
This is what it read:
"The pleasure OF your company is re-
quested at the hanging of George Smile,
a murderer. His soul will be swung into
eternity on Thursday evening. A brand
new rope will be used, and everything
will be done to make the ceremony as
cheerful as possible.

This colloquy kept up for several min

Jones had loaned the S. to Short.

this way?" he demanded sternly of Short
"Well, boss" exclaimed Short, ''you

THOUGHTS BY THE WAY.

Congressman IIobson of Alaba-
ma, is constantly seeing ghosts, or,
IN other words, he is dead certain
that this country and Japan will
soon be engaged in war and wants
a big navy to furnish soft snaps
for multitude of hungry patriots.
His constituents should give him
long rest at the next election.
Another big slide has occurred
in the Panama canal. Should slides
continue periodically, it might be
good idea to fill up the ditch and
charge the millions upon millions
to profit and loss and quit-and in
the meantime, the less said about
fortifying the canal the better, at
least, until it has been demon
strated that there will be a canal
that can be used by sea going YES

that some member may drop out
under a new redistricting and the
enlargement of the districts in
which some states may have less
number of representatives. At the
present time, the House is too
large and a less number could
transact the business more expedi-
tiously and save the country un-
necessary expense. But what does
Congress care for expense as long
as a suffering people pay the
freight.

being made there was a roll call,

The country is to have two more
war ships to cost $4,000, 900 each
and yet we talk of hard times and
high taxes. Already, Congress has
appropriated sos, 900 for the
army and $I1o, 900 for the
navy for the coming fiscal year. 1t

Europe, and yet we cry peace and
squander. millions of dollars an
nually on army and navy, just to
furnish lucrative positions for a lot
of men who are of no value to the
country as producers.

of her attorney, T. J.
McDermOtt of st. Paul, she went
to the house on Hickory street to
get her personal belongings, such as
winter clothes. When she went up
stairs to put her suit case in one
of the rooms she found the room
locked and wondered what was the
reason, but thought little of it a.
the time, thinking that Mr.. Hacker
had locked the door for some special
purpose. When Mrs. Hacker first
entered the house she telephoned
to Mr.. Hackers attorney, S. B. Will
son, that she was there and was
about to get her winter clothes.
Now the telephone is so wired
that when someone talks from the
house the conversation can also be
heard at Mr.. Hackers office. When
she called late yesterday afternoon,
Mr.. Hacker at his office evidently
overheard her conversation and
when he found that she was at the
house he hurriedly went there Mrs.
Hacker had not had time to remove
her veil when he entered and be-
fore she could turn around, SO she

then brutally kicked her down tho
stairs
Mrs. Hacker said she tried
time and again to telephone to
her attorney but he would drag
her away from the telephone
each time. She later left the
house, as her clothes which she had
come to get had been taken away
from her; likewise her money, SO
she said Mr.. Hackers attorney
then advised her that if she would
come to his office in the morning
she could get her clothes and the
money due her.
She will probably be confined
there until the trial for divorce.
"The trial should have come up
yesterday, but he has been putting
it off and off all the time, but he
will get the worst of it them she
said.

The grand jury concluded it's Ia
bors yesterday afternoon and adj
journed.
Joseph Hoffman, proprietor of the
NicOllet hotel, North Front street, is
in the county Jail. He is under ar
rest, having been taken into Gus
tody on bench warrant charging
him with assault in the first degree
This followed his indictment by the
grand jury.
1t is alleged that Hoffman stabbed
in the neck Fred Rogers, resident
of South Bend, the story of which
has appeared in The Free Press.
Hoffman was placed under arrest
by Deputy Sheriff Ed AriO. The
prisoner was arraigned before Judge
A. r. Pau at about Sis o'clock and
pleaded not guilty. No date was
set for his trial. S. B. Wilson Wat
appointed his attorney.
Bail Fixed at $1,000.
Hoffman's bail was fixed at. 81 800
1t is understood that an effort vii
be made to secure a bond SO thai
Hoffman can have his liberty.
Hoffman reiterates that he did no
use a knife on Rogers, but struck
the man with his bare fist.
In a Reflective Mood
When seen today, Hoffman WAS
downcast and in reflective mood
Questioned by the Free Press il
regard to the assault OH Rogers
Hoffman exclaimed:

thing about it, he said. wiping his
forehead, aud then fell exhausted in
to his chair in the cell.
