TROUBLE IN FRANKLIN.
Young Lady Fired On Shot Grazes Her
Neck-Arrest Follows.

A rural community twelve miles
from Monroe, Franklin county, has
been the scene recently of two
dastardly ATTEMPTED assasinations.
Last week, Dan Mullens. a we'll
known farmer saw one of his
mules limping in the lot. Going
to the animal to investigate the
cause of his injury he found that
he had been freshly shot and while
he was examining the wound some
unknown person fired upon him
from the nearby woods.
Mullens says that he has no ene-
mics that he knows of and cannot
account for the attempt to take
his life. The following afternoon,
Miss Jennie Leska. a school teacher
in the same neighborhood, was fired
on as she was leaving the school
building. One bullet from a shot
Igun grazed the back of her neck.
Clarence Lee, who had been court
/ ing Miss Leska. without success.
Twas arrested On suipicion and
placed under bond Of $1,000 to
await the action Of the grand jury

Miller on twelve counts upon which
the Supreme court reversed and re-

There are fearfnI tragedies of
human suffering. There is world

There is much evasion Of the law:

Pony Takes Drink at His Club;
Saves Boy from Trolley Car

every time he goes to the club. AS soon
as he gets his cocktail he trots home.
For three days the pony has not been
feeling well and, though he visited the
club, he refused the cocktails offered
him. After he had refused one,
John Haiert, viee-president of the
club, proposed hat the pony be
dropped from the roll because he had
deserted his party and turned Prohibi-
zionist. Evidently the pony understood
the import of the proposition, for he
pushed open the door of the little room
and whinnied for a cocktail. He drank
it and then started for home.
In front of the clubhouse some chill
dren were playing. A trolley car was
approaching, m Isidor Levene, of
Lawton street, about 3 years old, stood
on the track frightened. The pony,
with his teeth, picked up the child by
the coat and lifted him from the track.
Neither the boy nor the pony was hurt.
