FALLS VILLAGE
HoRsEwHIPPING AFFAIR.

The people of Falls Village have been discussing a sensation in the shape of a horse whipping affair that occurred in front of the hotel Monday night, when Mrs. Fitch Willard attacked Ed. J. House with horsewhip after heated discussion over a personal matter. It appears that dog belonging to Mrs. Willard had made itself obnoxious to Mr. House as he was driving past the Mil lard place, and House had chastised it with his horsewhip. When the man and woman met, on the sidewalk near the hotel, Monday evening, the woman accosted the man with a reprimand which he resented with vigorous lan- guage, which provoked the horsewhip- ping. House was struck several times on the head and face before he succeed ed in wrestling the whip from the woman, which he broke in two and thrust in her face, pushing her violently backward, according to witnesses. It is thought probably that some legal action will be brought by Mrs. Willard.

HIS WHOLE DERN FARM IS DYIN'
AND ITS PLAIN MURDER
JerseyViIIe, Ill.,, July 10.-DanieI
Boomer, owner of a farm six miles
west of here, drove into town today
mad as wet hen and demanded to
see the states attorney.
When he got that gentleman's ear
he said that an elaborate attempt
to murder his entire farm was being
made and that he wanted the muir
derers detected and punished.
Boomer recently bought his farm,
which once was a perfectly good
farm but now apparently is in it's
death throes, at a public auction.
There was a good deal of bitterness
between the bidders and one of the,
defeated parties was heard to remark
that Boomers farm would never do
him any good.
Boomer says that shortly after he
moved on to the place he found a
black fluid Oozing from the trunk Of
a fruit tree. Investigation showed a
hole in the trunk, through which the
fluid had been poured; the hole was
plugged with mud. Further search
showed that forty fruit trees, many
shade trees and grape vines had been
treated similarly They all died. Half
a dozen plum trees had been cut
down.
Two or three days later Boomers
horses and cattle began developing
violent signs of having something on
their stomachs that didn't agree with
their stomachs. Several Of them died.
"Everything's dying" spluttered
