SOLOMON NEWCOMER
Continued from page |

On June 26, he started from Noun
tain Home in company with other
hotel clerks and friends for the
"Greeters Convention" in Chicago.
On July 9Th he came on to Waus-
con his intention being, after a short
visit to return to Idaho. His health
however was poor before he left
Mountain Home, and when he arriv-
ed in Wauseon he was about help
less. Before many days it was not
ed by his sister and brother and
others that he was failing fast. AS
they ministered to him, everything
was "all right. The day before his
death he said to his brother that he
feared that he would never be any
better, and some of his personal af-
fairs We're talked over. And as
the summer sun was about to set
Monday, July 10, the spirit of Solo
mon Newcomer quit it's earthly tab
ernace and his body req osed in
death. While it was not of his
planning, nevertheless it seems most
fitting that he should come back to
the old home to die and to be
buried where his parents, sister and
brothers rest. Let us who live be
admonished that though We may live
to the four score of years, the end
will surely come and quickly too.
We know not the day or the hour.
very few more years and the gen
Grafton to which Solomon Newcomer
belonged will have passed away and
We who succeed them will not larry
long.
Funeral services were held at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. w. A. Blake,
where Mr.. Newcomer died, on
Wednesday, July II, 1912, at p. M,
Rev. d. F. Helms of Paulding, Ohio,
had charge. The body was laid to
rest in the same lot in the Wauseon
cemetery where his parents and
other relatives lie.-Fulton County

The older countries Of Europe are
seeking opportunities for expansion to
find the means for meeting the pres
sure Of growing population and de-
velopfng industries. while at the same
time they are dependent upon outside
resources for portion of the supply
of the necessaries of life. France and
Italy are reaching out into northern
Africa, while Germany is endeavoring
to get whatever territory may prop
erly be secured to meet these demands
These things are subjects of political
discussion and form leading topics in
the current. newspapers and maga-
zines. while little is said about the
vast areas Of fertile land yet available
for development within the limits of
the United States The single state of
Texas. for example. is of far greater
area than France or the entire Ger
man empire. the figures being in round
numbers about 204.0 900 square miles for
France. 100000 square miles for the
German empire and $4,000 square
miles for Texas. Thus 1t will be seen
that either of these great countries
of Europe might be placed in the mid
die of this single one of the United

went home. When the heat Of the after
noon diminished he took out his saddle
horse and went for a gallop, thinking in
this way to blow some Of the tortured
fanciee out OF his mind. but he did not
succeed.
Despite his agitation. he ate a hearty
dinner-much as a condemned man de-
YOURS his last meal-but he could not
sleep. All night he alternately tossed in
his bed or paced his room restlessly, his
features working, his body shivering He
breakfasted, however, with an apparent
appetite that delighted his colored serv-
ant, and as the clock struck he walked
into Donnelly's Office. smoking a cigar
which he did not taste.
Il haven't heard anything further from
Corte, SO we'll go down to the dock"
the chief informed him.
|. On the way to the river front Blake
continued to smoke silently giving
careful ear to Donnelly's final directions
When they reached their destination he
waited while Dan went aboard the ship
in search of the captain.
Along the levee stretched rows of craft
from every port. big black ocean liners

from the tropics, and a tremendous fio-

cries and songs Of q multitude OF roust-
abouts and deck hands. Down the gang
ways Of the Philadelphia a thin. con-
tinuous line of dusky truckmen was NOV
ing. A growing chaos OF trunks and
smaller baggage on the dock indicated
that her passenger list was heavy.
Blake watched the shifting scene with
little interest, now and then casting an
unseeing eye over the ramparts of cotton
bales nearby; but although he was out
wardly calm, his palms were cold and
wet, and his mind was working with q
panicky swiftness.
Donnelly appeared with the assurance
that all was arranged with the ships

they could observe what went on, they

Blake heard himself assuring the OFF,
Ger that he had not been mistaken. but
it was not his own voice that reached
his ears, and when his caller had gone
he found himself sitting Imply in his
chair. numb with horror at his own to
merity.
What, he wondered, would Narcone do
when he saw his life at stake-when he
recognized in one Of his captors the man
he had craved to kill in the forest Of
bility be a physical struggle-perhaps he
would find his own fiabby muscles pitted
against the mighty thews OF the Sfcilian
butcher. At the thought he felt again
the melting horror which had weakened
him on that unspeakable night when
Narcone had turned from wiping the
warm blood from his hands to glare into
his face. Blake feared that the memory
would return to betray him at the last
moment.
He had barely gotten himself under
semblance of control. two days later,
when Donnelly called him up by tele-
phone to advise him in cautious terms
that affairs were nearing climax and
to warn him to make ready.
This served to throw him into a re-
newed panic. 1t required a tremendous
effort to concentrate upon his business
