Frcnchman's Idea of American Thing
poDlIlar

Popular.
New York.-M. de fEspigarie Tes-
san, a cousin of the count de Cham
brun and contributor to several
French newspapers, arrived here on
the French liner Lr Touraine for a
visit of one year to this country. Dur
ing the voyage he met Hugh A.
Bayne, a law partner of Henry w.
Taft, and several other Americans,
with whom he became friendly. The
be here for year he wanted some
coaching on how to act among Am
orleans.
He was told by his travelling COM
panions that Americans were excep-
tionally keen on paying homage to
the memory of George Washington
and that knowledge of the first
president would help him greatly.
One of the party, with a repressed
smile, repeated several times to the
journalist: George Washington, first
in war, eirst in peace and first in the
hearts of his countrymen.''
NJ. Tessan, when asked to rehearse
his little piece, repeated the words
OF his coach and punctuated it with
a bit of buck and wing dance. The
crowd roared and told the French
man that he must not dance when
quoting such solemn expression. He
replied that his coach danced at the
end of the sentence and he thought
1t was part of the instruction.
Thereafter the passengers on meet
ing in the deck promenade greeted
one another with the question: "Who
was the father of his country?" When
the words George Washington" were
/ repeated everybody danced.

Sisters Tricked While i'm Court Fight
ing for Bones of Ancestors.
Kansas City, Mo.-Three sisters,
Ida, Lydia and Lena Conley, who for
four years, with increasing vigilance,
have guarded the burial ground of
their Indian ancestors in Huron cem-
etery, in the heart of the business
section of Kansas City, Kan, met de-
feat through a trick, when the United
States Marshal, with two deputies,
tore down their fort" while they
were in court pleading their cause.
The three sisters lived in a small
house in the cemetery and for years
they have been barring officers of
the law from entering the cemetery.
At the gate was posted a sign which
read; Enter here at your peril
For the first time the place was
left ungu9rded when the Conley sis
ters were tempted to go to the Wy
andotte county District Court to
make a general sorte for the legal de-
fense of their home. While they
were in court officers went to the
burial ground, demolished the fort
and threw the debris into the alley in
the rear.
Lena Conley said the grave of her
mother rested under the building.
In court Miss Lydia Conley acted
as attorney in behalf of herself and
sisters. She argued her application
for an injunction restraining w. A
Cimpson, commissioned by congres:
to remove the bodies in the cemetery
and arrange for the sale of the land
from taking such action.
When the sisters heard of the at
tack on their fort" they left tn,
court room and ran to the cemetery
They said they would rebuild thei
fort

ASSAULTED BY FOOTBALLS
w. g. Demere Knocked Unconscious
With Rock While Driving Auto
mobile to Bonnie Terre-Foot-
pads Abroad.

Last Friday evening Mr.. w. q.
Demere, machinest of the Lead Belt
Motor Company, left Pennington IN
n machine with his three children,
two girls and a boy, for Bonnie
Terre. Just after crossing Big Riv-
or bridge, aboat eight O'Clock, a rock
was hurled from the side of the
road, hitting him just above the
right temple, cutting a cash about
two inches long and knocking him
unconscious. Another rock crashed
through the windshield, hitting his
little boy but fortunately not hurt
ing him seriously, and n piece of
glass from the window-shield cut
one of the little girls on the hand.
As Mr.. Demere was struck and lost
control of the machine II swerved to
one side, struck telephone pole and
was considerably damaged. He was
unconscious for some time, and as
soon ms he recovered went over the
machine to see what damage was
done, when DR.. Topping happened
along on his way from Bonnie Terre
and took him and his children to the
Doctors Office in Flat River where
their Injuries where dressed. He
was able to be at the shops Monday
with a bandaged head. The children
say that they thought they heard a
noise as II some one was running
through the underbrush after the
machine had stopped. Whether II
was an attempted hold-up or pure
deviltry on the part of the persons
throwing the rocks, Mr.. Demer,
doesn't know; If the former, the
cries of the children probably scared
them away. The same night ther,
were several hold-ups in Bonn'
Terre. Lex Moon was slugged ant
robbed on the way home from hi
saloon, an old man named VIM
Franklin, who lived near B0nn'
Terre, was knocked down and robbed
and railroad man, whose name W,
have not learned, was also way lnit
and robbed.

BABE FOUND DEAD IN BED.

Last Monday morning about four
O'Clock Mrs. Lawrence Hunt awoke
to find that her little four-months-
old son, who was sleeping with her,
was dead. DR.. j II. English, Coun-
ty Coroner, was notified, and went
to Bonne Terre and held an inquest
over the little body. The verdict of
the C0roner's jury was that the
babe came Ia his death from un-
known cause. There were no indi-
cations that the child had been
smoUthered or in any way accident.
ally injured during night. He was
a very delicate infant and had been
so from birth, aud death was doubt
less the result of naturally feeble
constitution.
