The Courier, and who Is too econom-

his little boy to borrow mine, and in
his haste the boy ran over a 81 stand
OF bees, and in ten minutes looked
like watery summer squash. The
father ran to his assistance, and fail
ing to notice a barbed wire fence ran
into that, cutting handful of flesh
from his anatomy and running a IS
pair Of pants. The old COW took ad-
vantage Of the gap in the fence and
got into sweet potato bank and
killed herself eating. Hearing a
racket his wife ran out, upset five
gallon churn Of rich cream into
basket Of little chicks, drowning the
en'fre bunch. In her haste she
dropped q $25 set Of false teeth. The
baby, having been left alone, crawl

which Representative Aiken OF South
Carolina has Just introduced shall be-
come law, many small towns
throughout the United States which

ceipts are less than $1,000 and are
thus not entitled to free city delivery
shall be included under the rural
free delivery service, provided that
no delivery by carrier shall be made
except at residences and Offices where

Dying, Declares He Slew GOcbcl.

Helena, Ark, Feb. l5.--James
Gilbert, formerly Of Breathitt coun-
ty, Kentucky, who said he had been
a member OF the Hargis feud faction,
was fatally wounded in revolver
duel with a bartender here to-day,
but before he died he declared he
was the man who fred the shot that
killed Governor William Goebel at
Frankfort in January, 1900.
Gilbert had been in Helena about
three years. He was some time ago
charged with killing man here, but
was released on the plea Of self-dc-
Tense. Recently Gilbert was made a
deputy sheriff, and, according to the
authorities here, was without any
sense Of physical fear. For about
two weeks he had been living an ir-
regular life, the events Of which had
their elimination in the shooting at
fray Of to-day.
Realizing that the end had come
Gilbert smiled family, and after max
Ing an attempt to joke about "dying
I'm his boots" declared that he fired
the shot that caused the death of
Governor Goebel. Whether he would
have given details Of his alleged kill
ing Of Goebel can never be known
for Gilbert died within an hour after
making the statement, which he re-
peated over and over again, with the
assertion that he could never get
over It,"

Adiutant General Stripped OF Office

Washington, Feb. Is. - Major
Gen. Fred G.. Aainsworth. adiutant
general Of the army, was stripped Of
his Office to-day by order of President
Taft, and will appear before a court
martial on the charges said to en-
brace conduct prejudicial to good or
der and discipline and insubordina-
ton. His relief from duty was
brought about in z letter to him from
the secretary Of war, which bristled
with sharp criticism.
Gen. Aainsworth's removal IS con-
sidcred to be the outcome Of many
years Of struggle for control between
the line and the staff OF the army.
Major Gen. Leonard Wood, chief of
STAFF, leads contingent which be-
lieves control should be delegated to
those officers actually in touch with
the fighting strength. Others, among
whom Gen. Aainsworth was a leading
figure, have contended supervision
should be vested with the heads IF
powerful bureaus.
Suspension Of Gen. Aainsworth, the
first that ever has occurred in the
Office Of the adiutant general, caused
profound sensation In army and Con-
grcssiOnal circles. 1t was made the
subject OF heated exchange on the
floor Of the House, where the army
appropriation bill was being debated
Neither Gen. AinswOrth nor other
army or department officers or Off
cials would discuss 1t.
