we will show you that there was
no friction, no misunderstanding on
the day when the Admiral was taken
sick" he said. We will show that
many misstatemeuts made by Mrs.

foundations and facts; that they were
not intended for harm and that they
were not hallucinations.

THE FIRST TEST OF NEW LAW
VIII Farmers Hold Buyers for Full
Tobacco Purchase

That is a question under considera-
tion. and the Edgerton Tobacco Report
er suggests that now is fine opportun-
ity to test the application of the Paul
law. 1t was no fault or neglect of the
grower of course that the sheds blew
down, the tobacco scattered by the
wind ard water soaked by the following
rainfall. The new law requires the
buyer to pay the agreed price for the
tobacco on delivery without regard to
what happens to il after the date of
the contract, unless any imperfections
are caused by willful neglect of the
growers. The makers of thelaw couldn' I
forsee such calamity nor provide for
it. If the law is any good then every
grower who had sold his crop and then
suffered from the storm has q perfect
cinch for getting full price for it. tits

NIGHTOF HORRORAND PAIN
A DRIVER, TEAM AND WAGON
PLUNGE INTO GULLY
Austin Shesler Dies From Injuries ard
Exposure-HeIpless He Cries for
Assistance, but no Response

One of the saddest and most lament
able accidents it has been our duty to
record, resulting in death, was that
which occurred in the town of Genoa on
the night of the 10Th. The tragic affair,
as told to the CENSOR, by brother of
the victim, happened to Austin Shesler
1 He started with his team and lumber
wagon, to go TO the home of his neigh
Dor, John Podowitz, something more
than mile distant, the road being q
private one and over rather rugged
conditions. The time was about dusk
in the evening, and by some llishap the
team, wagon and driver were precipitat-
ed into rocky gully twelve feet below
the road, where they all remained in a
sad mix-up till the morning follow
| ing at $50, when the Podowitz children
| discovered the awful scene as they pass
ed to school. The alarm was given and
in reasonable time the unfortunate
man and animals were released. Mr..
Shesler was then able to relate the cir
cumstance of the accident and the aw-
| full night of confinement under the wag-
on and pain he had endured. He was
taken to his home, medical aid sum-
moned, but his injuries and exposure
were too severe to survive, and he pass
ed away soon after noon. In the lonli-
ness Mr.. Shesler tried with all his
strength of lungs to give the alarm,
and his cries were heard but believed to
be the shouts of coon hunters. Mr.. Shes
ler's small and motherless children were
at home but failed to appreciate the
seriousness of the all-night absence of
the father and inform neighbors.
Mr.. Shesler lived six miles south of
Genoa village, in the valley. He was
born in Genoa forty-four years ago,
his wife dying last spring, leaving a
family of six children, the youngest
six years old. The affair is indeed a
pitiful one, but strong hands and will
ing hearts joined ii making as easy as
possible the irreparable loss and sorrow
of the afflicted, for which the family Is
fully adpreciative.
Funeral was conducted and burial had
at Retreat by Rev. Milford.
