iected TO Shavings.

THORNDALE. Tex, June 2o.-fhe
of Charles Zeitung, garage owner,
and the subsequent lynching of a
Mexican youth here last night. Whether
the boy was citizen of the United

to Thorndale TO investigate.
The Mexican. a lad of about IS years
whose name has not been ascertained,
was sitting on the sidewalk in front
of Zeitung's garage last night welding
his pocket knife and making pile of
shavings. Zetung protested against
the littering up of the entrance to his
garage and ordered the youth to stop.
This, according to bystanders, an
gered the Mexican and he stabbed Zei-
tung through the heart. The youth
was arrested and lodged in the town
Jail. Shortly after nightfall mob of
about 100 men gathered, stormed the
prison and took out the Mexican.
Some of the party went for ropes,
but others in the crowd were Impatient
and held up a Mexican truck farmer,
who was driving a load of watermelons
to market. The team was nnhitched
and the four trace chains fastened to-
gether one end of the chain was
fastened about the neck of the youth
and another boy climbed telephone
pole, throwing the free end over a
beam. The Mexican was hoisted about
six feet from the ground and the free
end was made fast to a foot spike the
pole.
The crowd quickly dispersed, but the
body hanged for an hour before it was
lowered. The lynching occurred on the
principal street of Thorndale.

Inene was large attendance At the Llncoin memorial service held in the Greenevlile Congregational church on Sunday evening, under the auspices of sns sons ol Veterans. who sat in a pody: The platform was decorated in bunting and hags and was occupied by tne speakers and the choir The pro- gramme opened with patriotic songs py the choir and congregation and prayer was offered by Rev. c. H. Rick GUS. Lincoln's Gettysburg address by George A. Keppler followed, and was delivered in an excellent manner. A pleasing solo, The Deathless Army was given by Archibald P. MacDougail
 The speaker of the day, Hon. Ernest E. Hobson. of Palmer. Mass, was then introduced and delivered a remarkably line address on Lincoln. He first men, tloned a few events in the life of Lin- coin and of his trials during the war. fne speaker went on to say that the life of no other man has ever been so great an inspiration to those that came after him as that of Lincoln. He was born in the lowest social strata and lived to hold the highest position of honor and trust of the nation. Thou sands of young men, though born with out social advantages, have by his ex- ample raised themselves to the highest characteristics was his love of true womanhood. He always held that his great achievements in life were due to his early training and care. He once said as he stood by the grave of his mother: All that I am or ever hope to be owe to my angel mother"
 Lincoln has contributed greatly to the worlds literature. both by his writings and his speeches. His Gettys- burg address will always stand as a masterpiece of composition. MT. Lin- coin was on his way to attend the dedication of the Gettysburg monument when one of his friends advised him that he would probably be called upon for a speech. Mir. Lincoln went to separate apartment and with a pencil hastily scrfbbled his famous address. Edwin Everett of Massachusetts, the speaker of the occasion, delivered an extended and able discourse. but the speech that has made the occasion mo- table is the one that Abraham Lincoln composed on his way to the ceremony.
 MT Hobson mention the subject of Abraham L4incoln's religion. Many peo- pie. claimed Lincoln was perhaps re- 1igfous, but that he was not a Chris Lincoln was not subject to every creed and custom. he was firm believer in the true principles of Christianity and his administration in every way ex- pressed his true Christian nature.
 On the conclusion of MT. Hobson's address a solo. The Star Spangled Banner. was rendered by MT. MacDou- gall. Columbia the Gem of the Ocean was sung by the choir. and Rev. MT. Ricketts gave the benediction.

CAR LEFT TRACK ON
 CENTRAL VILLAGE LINE.
Struck Bonding Machine at Round HilI-BIock Trains for 100 Minutes.

Saturday afternoon an extra car, No. 156, on the Central Village line, went off the track at Round Hill No ma teria1 damage was done and no one was hurt Motorman Conrad was on the front end, with Conductor Tourtei- lotte at the bellcord. The cause of the accident was due to the fact that a bonding machine was on the track, which sent the first truck off, other wise doing no harm. The traffic on the Central Village line was held up one hour and forty minutes, delaying the 2.10 train out of Norwich at Taftville for some time. The wrecker was sent here from Midway to clear the line. but a light engine from Jewett City had gotten there and assisted in get ting the car back onto the rails, so that the wrecker did not have to go beyond here.
 The bonding machine was being used by workmen repairing the bonds on the rails The operator had time to get out of the way, but not to remove his machine.

Abraham Lincoln the Subject of Sun day Mornings Sermon by Rev. pr. Kaufman.

Sunday morning at Trinity Methodist Episcopal church Rev. Dr. M. s. Kauf- man spoke to a very appreciative con- gregation upon Abraham Lincoln: Gods Man for Great Crisis. He said in part:
 Like leaves of the forest, generations of men have come and gone. The vast majority of them slumber in nameless graves. Sceptered monarch and fet- tered serf share the same fate. Today they are only sdust. Their names are forgotten; their memory has perished. From the deluge of oblivion which overspreads every land and rushes on through the ages only a few favored souls lind refuge in the ark of earthly immortality. Among these few towers the commanding form of Abraham Lin coln. No other is more lofty than he; not one more radiant with the bril- liancy and beauty of symmetrical char acter. If any son of Adam ever att tained unto full orbed manhood, surely Lincoln did. It was the completeness of his physical, intellectual, moral and spiritual equipment that qualified him career, however gigantic in it's propor- tions or intricate in It's perplexities. How delighted must have been the Creator, our Heavenly Father, when one such actual man stood among his fellows, so closely approximating God's own ideal of genuine manliness.
 Let it be clearly understood that Abraham Lincoln was not the product of heredity-neither of environment We may rest assured that God does not ask all the credit of this mans peer less life. But this man, wisely utilizing heredity, heroica1ly mastering environ ment, and most faithfully cooperating with God, achieved his own illustrious, luminous, imperishafble character Royal manhood is never g product of outside forces. It is always a personal achievement. This fact is the ethical ground of merit and demerit. Lincoln was always ready to give honor to God and take little credit to himself. But at last after winning the unsullied glory legitimately belonging to his own splendid achievements. he was in addi- tion providential1y permitted to wear the martyrs crown. Evidently he was Gods man for great crisis-one of the greatest in the annals of earth Still he Is marching in the van of human progress. Toi1ers and fighters for truth and right should ever be heroic and optimistic when they adopt his principles and remember his tri- umphs While few can win such fame as his. all of us may be as loyal to country and to God.
