Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania told
the senate Lorimer committee that he
had urged the election of William

A letter mentioned several days age

Hines in connection with the lumber

II became impressed early that he
was bright, active man, generally
familiar with conditions throughout
the country" the senator explained.
The senator said he was bothered with
many 1llinoisans on account of the
senatorial vacancy, and that on this
account he thought he invited Hines
activity.
He admitted he made inquiries of
Hines if Albert ]. Hopkins could be
reelected explaining that because of
his acquaintance with Hopkins he
hoped to see him returned. When
Hines told him that it seemed Hopkins
could not be returned, the names of
Frank o. Lowden and H. S. Boutell,
then in congress, were discussed at
different interviews, and finally Hines,

Senator Penrose said he did not then
know Lorimer and had never seen
him, but knew he was competent man
and leader, so he urged Hines, as
citizen of Illinois, do what he could
to bring about an election, and to
support Lorimer when Hines said he
believed Lorimer was the only man
who could be elected.
He declared he believed Hines in
his activities was not prompted by a

 KILLS HUB DUNN
Met In Public Road Near Dunn s Home Where Dispute End

Special to Independent.

Special to Independent.
 Tuckerman, Sept. 18.-About 10 o'clock this Monday morning, Hub Dunn and John Ruddell met in the public road near Dunn's home and after 8 few words over 8 disputed telephone bill, Ruddell shot Dunn through the left breast. The men were not more than eight or ten feet apart and the load from Rud- dell's gun tore a gaping wourd in the body of Dunn, who fell most instantly. His only words were 70 Lordie" as the shot tore into his breast and neighbors who came up, carried him to his home.
 Ruddell went at once to Bat tie Axe to surrender to Consta- ble Ritchie, who expected to take him to jail at Newport Monday afternoon. There is not much public feeling aroused from the killing, for some say that Dunn was armed, though this is denied by others.
 Both men were respected in the communities in which they lived and enjoyed good reputa- tions. Dunn was about 45 years of age and leaves widow and five children, while Ruddell was about 30 years of age and has a wife and two children.
 The story of the tragedy IS about as follows: Not long ago Ruddell sold Dunn some peach es, which the latter claimed were all rotten and this brought about bad feeling between the two men. Dunn had a telephone and this line was used by Rud- dell lately to call doctor. Dunn insisted on Ruddvll paying for four messages, while the latter claimed it was only three.
 Monday morning Dunn, his wife and two children had been hauling a load of corn in their wagon and were about 150 yards east of their home when they met Ruddell in his buggy com ing from Tuckerman.
 The telephone account was at once brought up and when Rud- dell got out of his buggy with a shot gun, Mrs. Dunn and chll- dren jumped off the wagon and ran. Whether Dunn was armed Or made a move to draw a gun is not known.
