barked to some extent.

HODGES START
SOMETHING At
DIXON HOTEL

There was some real excitement at
the City hotel on Ash street late
yesterday afternoon, when Landlord
Anthony Dixon stood in the office with
loaded shotgun at his shoulder and in
vited two hoboes To enter the from
door of the place. 1t is said that the
hoboes were armed with large knife
and revolver and were after the land
lords scalp.
The men had evidently planned some
kind of an attack on the hotel. While Mr..
Dixon was seated on the south porch of
the hotel, he noticed stranger standing
idly about who seemed to be taking in
everything that was going on. During
this time another stranger had entered
the west entrance of the house and was
preparing to loot some of the rooms on
the second fiat. While the man was in
the house Mr.. Dixon phoned to his farm
and requested his hired man to order
band of gypsies, who were camping
near the farm, to move. During the
conversation he mentioned ''police
officers" number of times On hear
ing these words the stranger entered
the office and told him not to become
alarmed that he intended to engage a
room at the place. The landlord told
him to get out, that he could not have
room. Then the fellow began to get
fresh, according to Mr.. Dixon, and the
latter drew a billy-club from the desk
and raped the man over the Uranium.
Tie visitor stepped outside and joined
his partner.
They stood beside window of the
hotel, and according to young lady at
the place who overheard the converse
ton, they declared that they would cut
the landlords throat Mr.. Dixon loaded
his twelve gauge shotgun and stood be-
fore the door in the office. AS the men
approached the door with the open knife
he cooked the gun and raised it to his
shoulder with the words, ''Walk in !"
They didn't care to enter and turned
down Water street toward the high
bridge. Police officers arrived at this
time and after some trailing landed the
men in jail Mr.. Dixon claims the men
took revolver from one of the rooms
at the hotel.
The two men were brought before
Justice of the Peace Adolph andre at
noon today. The one who provoked the
quarrel in the hotel gave his name as
Tim Sweeney and said he had been
working in La Crosse and was on his
way to Chicago. He is a large broad
shouldered fellow with bulldog jaw
his arms are covered with tattoo paint
ings. The charge read to him was that
of committing an assault with intent
to do great bodily HARM He was bound

''Only three ballots were thrown out
IN this township" says the jamestown
Optimist. ''And the fnnny part of it is
that every spoiled ballot was voted by a
man. One was marked with fountain
pen; on one the board of irrigation was
scratched out, and on the other the voter
had written in some names that appear
ed elsewhere on the ballot. And men
who said the women couldn't vote intel
igently should take note of the fact
that 135 of them voted in this township
without spelling ballot, while one out
of every eighty-two men made a
blunder."

Oft times our enemies form a more
correct opinion of us than we do of our
selves. The love of glory, the fear of
shame and the greed of fortune cause
US to depreciate others who are found
in our class. The only safe way of esti-
mating the greatness of men is by the
means they used TO secure it. If we
never fatter ourselves the appreciation
expressed by others viii not hurt u.s.
If you are willing at all times to bear
the inspection of others you can be rea-
sonably sure that you are not a very bad
man. You will find that the confidence
you have in yourself usually arises from
the confidence you have in others. If
you always doubt yourself, you viii be
sure to think that all others are as
cheap as yourself. A Uriah Heap sort
of man always has the making of a first

social cur and should not be recognized
