George Washington Langley, so1
of Joseph and Margaret Higginbot
tom Langley, first saw the light Of
day in Licking county, Ohio, Feb. II
1886, and was the only child of his
parents. His mother died when he
was but boy and he was thus forced
at an early age to make his way in
the world. He was apprenticed to a
carpenter and learned this trade

band. Both of these children came
from Pennsylvania Dutch parentage
and grew up strong and sturdy as
children of this nationality usually
do. Both grew to the age of maturity
in the same county in which they
were born. On January S, 1862, they
were united in marriage by Minor
Mcqueen, minister of the Baptist
church, at the Gearhart residence
near Fallsburg. They resided in
Ohio until the spring of 1870, when
they decided to try their fortunes in
the west, coming as far as Shelby
vile, ILL.,, where they stayed during
the summer. In the fall of that year
they came to Story county, Iowa,
where they stayed until 1880, when
they came to Crawford county, which
has been their home, with the excep-
tion of two years spent in Oregon.
Eight years ago they left the farm
and moved to Dow City and it is here
they have their home at the present
time.
They have raised family of seven
children, viz: Mrs. Margaret Rasmus-

of Dow City; Glen, of End.

are fifteen grandchildren and one
great grandchild. We are pleased to
say for them that in all these fifty
years there has never been a death
among them. This is record which
scarcely a family OF half these years
of marriage can claim. Mr.. Langley

deals only with personal property, save
such real estate where improvements
and changes have been made during
the past year.

and they began arriving early in the
day and stayed until a late hour, and
until all the festivities of the day
were over.
The guests were entertained in two
periods, from 2 to and from 4 to g.
The first guests came promptly at
and until the close of the afternoon
there was q continuous round of con-
gratulations, mirth and everything
pertaining to merry making. Nearly
one hundred guests assembled in re-
sponse to the invitations and it was
indeed a jolly crowd. AS each party
of guests greeted the host and hostess
they offered a shower of congratula-

liable, there being gold-headed canes,
gold-handled umbrellas, spoons and a
large number of smaller articles, be-
sides $65 in gold. Rev. Joseph
Stephen made the presentation, tell
ing the host and hostess that they had
ample evidence of the place they held
in their neighbors' affections. A de-
licious three-course luncheon was
served, to which all did ample justice.
Mr.. Ferguson came down from Deni-

one member being absent, which fact

He was first married in Germany,
three children, all residing in Ger

They are Theodore, Mrs. Maria Cat
jens and Mrs. Dora Lotz.
August Is, 1868, he was married
second time and three children survive
this union also. They are John H.
and Carl, both of Denison, and Mrs.
Caroline Dupper, of Bloomfield, Neb.
Mr.. Storjohann was one of those
Germans who by frugality, industry,
|uprightness and thrift added SO large
Iy to the wealth and prosperity of this
county. He died in the ripeness of
years, greatly beloved by his family
and by large circle of friends. The

He denied that he was engaged in negotiations with the government for peace.
 All the bandits will accept the proffered amnesty" said the general today to a representative of the As sociated Press. but those revolu- tionsts of good faith. those who are willing to lose their lives for the holy cause of the people, will never accept it."
 It had been suggested to Orozco that the three victories at ConejOs Rellano. and Bachimba. won by the government might have taken the spirit out of the men, He denied in dignantly that the government had scored victories" saying that what the government "boastingly said were victories" were in reality nothing more than "skirmshes."
 General Salazar conferred with General Orozco today about the sit nation along the Mexican Northwes- tern railroad.

Several for Darrow Defense Said Franklin Told Them That the Accused Was Not Implicated in the Corruption of Jurymen.
MYSTERIOUS SOURCE
 OF THE BRIBE MONEY
One Witness Said That He Was Told By Detective
 That Attorneys for the McNamara Defense Knew Nothing of it's Existence
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH

LOS ANGELES, July 15.-Bert Franklin. the confessed 'bribe giver, talked very freely about his crimes. according to a half dozen witnesses who took the stand for the defense in the bribery trial of Darrow today. In all of his numerous conversations he was quite emphatic in his avowals of Darrow's innocence according to the statements of the same wit nesses. all of whom called to attack the veracity of Franklin, who on the stand denied making such declara- tions.
 During the entire day Darrow took a leading part in conducting his own case in the absence of Rogers. On several occasions he engaged in yer bal clashes with the state forces. Twice he accused the district attor ney of trying to win through re- sorting to trickery.
 P J. Pirotte. a policeman in a suburb. testified to having held sev- eral conversations with Franklin in which the latter said Darrow had never given him money with which to brbe Juror Lockwood. He was subjected to a gruelling cross exam ination.
 Franklin told me-" said the wit ness, that there was other money that the attorneys for the McNa mara defense knew nothing about Franklin also said that he had not sent any message for Darrow on the morning of his arrest and that if any one called him to the telephone to cl- tn tA hn of y1ly lin's arrest. it was Detective Brone of the district attorneys office.
 The witness said that Franklin had told him at another meeting that he was not worried about the outcome of the charge against him. They don't want me; they are after Dar- row." he said Franklin told him Pirotte said Franklin told him that he had pleaded guilty to bribng Juror Bain and that it would not cost him anything as the state had paid the fine, but were holding the Lockwood case over him so that he would testify against Darrow The witness said that Franklin told him that F'redericks was under great obligations to Franklin because once when his political enemies were try ! ing to get some documents connected with some trouble Fredericks was in some years ago. Franklin who was in
 the United States marshal's office 1 had secreted them.

Colonel Arriola demanded two days ago that the Mormons at Co., lonia Diaz surrender their arms and ammunition to the rebels.
 They refused declaring that they would fight rather than give up. Arri- ola gave the Mormons until ten o'clock Monday to obey his command. In the meantime the Mormons at Colonia Diaz appraised Edmund Charleson in Juarez of the situation. The same assurances came from Col. Orozco as have been received from others, that ali protec- ton possible would be given. .s

Generally speaking there was an air of relief among practically all the members of the official family or Arizona yesterday when the decision Of the supreme court holding the Saxon election law unconstitutional was handed down This decision means two years more" for all state, county and precinct officers.
 The man most directly affected IS Treasurer Johnson. An the other offl- cials. even of the law had been held valid, would have had a chance for re- election: but in JohnsOn's case there can be 10 e-electiOn because under the constitution the state treasurer can have but one term.
 There is one state official, however. who is supremely indifferent to the ac- ton of the court. This is Sidney Os- born, secretary of state. Tt made no difference to me-" Osborn said As matter of fact. viewing the case from q personal standpoint, 1 would have been just as we'll satisfied if an cleo tiOn had been ordered for this fall. have an idea I should have fared bet ter politically than I did before.
