TORTURE N. D. FARMER.
Aged Bachelor Si,amefuIIy Abused i.
Ef+.rt 10 Sob Him.

Kenmare, NJ D.-After beating
Joseph Overholz, a bachelor farm
er, II years old, numerically with
their fists in an effort to wiring from
him the hiding place of a large fortune
he is supposed to have concealed Oh
his farm. two robbers tortured the old
man with red hot embers frola his own
fire, but they failed to secure .he in
formation they sought, n finally left
the old man unconscious after rihing
his pockets and taking $25.
Robbers Seize Him as He Sleeps.
Overholz, who lives alone on mis-
w robbers, armed and masked,
entered the farmhouse. Securing his
arms with ropes, before he awakened,
the robbers first demanded that Over
hoz tell them where he kept his
money The old mar refused and the
bandits began to beat him about the
head and their bare fists in an ef-
fort to make him reveal the hiding
place of his wealth.
Torture Him With Hot Goals.
Still Overholz resisted them and,
raging n cursing at his stubborn
ness. the robbers hen dragged red hot
Goals from the stove and applied them
to Overholz's back, arms, chest and
a grim silence, and finally the robbers
ri1ed his pockets, and finding $25 N
bills fed from the house. leaving
Overholz unconscious.
Found Unconscious by Neighbors.
A neighbor farmer, failing to see the
usual signs of life about the Overholz
farmhouse, fastened over and found
Overholz with his clothing stripped
from him, unconscious from a score or
more of burns. The neighbor sum-
moned assistance and Overholz was
brought to his city. whene he was
given medical attendance. 1t is thought
he will recover.

NORWAY.

About 1000 wild reindeer from Swe-
den crowded across the boundary line
into Norway at Tydalen. Unsuccess-
full attempts were made to drive them
back. The local authorities of the
two countries are negotiating with a
view of butchering the animals, for
they are doing great damage to the
residents of Tydalen.
Captain Roald Amundsen has de-
on his next trip into the north polar
regions, leaving in July, 1914. His
plan had been not to have wireless, as
he feared it might at times carry news
from home to his men and make them
melancholy. But he has arranged that
only one man shall read the wireless
messages received and If they contain
bad news he is to suppress them.
Captain Amundsen's reason for chang.
ing his mind was because a number of
scientists had persuaded him that his
various observations would be i'm
mensely more valuable if they could be
checked up with simultaneous obser-
vations in other parts of the world. In
the lnterest OF science he yielded.
The women of Norway are taking a
prominent part in the nationwide
movement for a complete rest day on
Sundays. The crusade has become es.
pecially vigorous since the recent cleo.
ton that returned to the storting a
radical majority, with a big increase
in the socialist vote. At a huge dem.
onstration in the capital it was re-
solved to ask Sunday rosters" in all
the municipalities to arrange for mass
meetings and to send petitions to the
storting requesting immediate consid-
GRAFTON of the desired legislation. They
demand the Sunday closing of all sa.
looms, stores and factories. They
would permit the sale of milk and
bread only during the morning hours.
Hunting and fishing would be permit.
ted only after 2 p. M, and they would
prohibit the delivery of mail and un.
loading OF ships.
This is the beginning Of a Christmas
editorial of a Norwegian daily:
christmas of course is the great eat
highest of the year.. The good, glad,
greedy appetite must on this occasion
be satisfied to the utmost limits, and
then annihilated. BY the twentieth
day of Christmas it must, at all events,
be carried way below zero. We must
not only know that we have had
Christmas. we must be able to feel it -
The original plan was to raise $50.
900 as capital stock of the new Nor
wegian-American Steamship company
and all but $4,000 has been sub.
sc-ibed.

New Bed of ScalIops.

The demand for sea food is q per-
sistent and an increasing one, so
much so that in some lines the sup
ply is threatening with extinction.
This Is particularly true of the lob
ster, which is every year becoming
scarcer and consequently dearer, and
even the succulent clam Is not found
in It's former abundance in those
haunts to which st once gave fame.
But the scallop is good substitute,
and the report just made to the sec
rotary of commerce that a bed of the
giant variety, thirty miles wide and
extending from Rhode Island to the
Virginia capes, has been found, ia
very reassuring. The common kind
are plenty enough, but they are only
half as large as the giant variety, and
not accounted 80 great a delicacy.
This new source Of supply Is regard
ed as practically inexhaustible, and it
is not likely to have an Immediately
lowering effect upon the price OF O
hotel order.

An old tree was being cut down

a block piece Of rope was found

The rope had been tied around the
tree when it had a diameter of
about nine inches and the tree had
grown a foot around it. The rope
is in a good state of preservation
and shows no effect of the long
time imbedded in its wooden coffin.

DISTRICT COURT

The Huber case dragged along
slowly today. The examination Of
George Anderson was concluded
this forenoon. The state laid the
foundation for the impeachment
of his evidence.
Thomas Stinton was then called
by the defense to testify to threats
made by Billings against Huber a
short time before the killing. The
state objected to this evidence and
the jury was excluded from the
courtroom during the argument.
Judge Taber ruled in favor of the
defense and the evidence was adj
mitted. When our report closed,
the defense was trying to prove
Huber's reputation as a peaceful
citizen by Mr.. Stinton. The state
objected to the questions and argu-
ment was in progress.

sSiphon" Slsson.

Thomas Upton sIsson. member Of

Which is I'm unfortunate fate.
When the California-Japanese Inn

cred an impassioned anttJapanese
speech on the floor Of the house.
"If we must have war;" he declared.
cor submit to this indignity, am for

Later, in the tariff debate, Repre-
sentative Johnson Of Washington, re-
proving him for this speech, called at
tention to the fact that Mr.. Sisson had
voted last year against q battleship
program, and then he referred to the
southerner as "the sizzling Bolon from
the Mississippi, Mr.. Sisson."
II that doesn't sound like q siphon

caught the fancy of the cloalroom con-

ing the changes on 1t whenever Mr..
