began the biggest battle that the state
had known.
It might have dragged on forever. 1t
would certainly have ended in Haynes
victory. His enemies sent spies under
the guise of friends, learned his strong
points and his weak ones. They found,
among other things, that he had an ex-
aggerated idea of the customs preva-
lent in that unsettled portion OF the
community. A blackguard insulted his
wife; his pretended friends told him,
when the man came out Of the hos
pital that he would have to accept
challenge to fight duel. Haynes In
nocently accepted the invitation, went
out before daybreak, and met his ad-
versary with pistol from which the
bullet had been secretly extracted.
Both fired. John Haynes fell, crippled
and paralyzed by bullet in the spine.
When he recovered consciousness he
was lying in city hospital under
different name and charged with MUIR
der.
His enemies, knowing the gigantic
issues at stake, had played their last
card upon the young Englishman's
ignorance of American customs, and
had won. Afraid to murder him
when he lay bleeding and helpless up
on the field of honor" they had spirit
ed him away to a city slum, dressed
him in rags, and left him lying in an
alley after gang battle-also ar
ranged with dead man beside him.
AS Pete Timmons, notorious gang
leader, he was arraigned before cor
rupt Judge and sentenced to serve for
fourteen years in the state peniten-
tiary. Next day the case was discon'
tinued; it was reported that Haynes
had accepted settlement and gone
back to England; the conspirators
came into possession of the land. John
Haynes, in court, had reserved his de-
fense, by the advice of his corrupt
counsel, and only learned that SEN
tence had been pronounced while
he lay helpless paralytic, in the jail
hospital.
Every element in the state that
should have been force for justice
was leagued against him. He never
saw his wife or child again; he could
learn nothing. He entered the penf
tentiary as Pete Timmons; when he
persisted In his story he vas placed
Catoctin clarion. [volume] (Mechanicstown, Md.) 1871-1940, 1914-07-30

afforded a very simple explanation.
The chair was fitted with large gyro-
scope, that ingenious toy which has
lately been found to possess remark
able qualities capable of being applied
to travelling vehicles of all kinds. In
brief, the gyroscope is simply top
which, when set spinning at any angle,
retains the same plane of incidence
and cannot be dislodged from 1t until
the motive force runs down. Controlled
by an ordinary gas engine, and affixed
to the chair, the latter was enabled to
run with perfect steadiness upon sim
gle wheel, attaining the prodigious
rate of two hundred miles an hour,
while, so long as the gyroscope re-
yolved, no mechanical force short OF a
triphammer could upset the vehicle,
which could move on roads or side
walks, or, with still greater facility,
upon the single rails of train and troll
ley tracks, on stretched ropes, or even
on telegraph wires, for the wheel was
grooved for this special purpose.
Who was this crippled man who
had contrived so wonderful a machine?
John Haynes was an Englishman
forty years of age, and, five years be-
fore, in no wise differed from thou
sands of other Englishmen of good
family and fair circumstances. Then
the day came when he received let
ter from a certain lawyer named
Frank Staples, who was at that time
just struggling out Of want into al
fluence through dubious practices.
Staples informed him that his uncle,
one of the original settlers Of Nokomis
Falls, had died, leaving him sole heir
to property in land, the value OF which
was estimated at $1,000,0O0. He Of
fered to settle up the estate for that
sum.
John Haynes sailed by the next
steamship with his wife and daughter,
surprised Staples in his office, and dis
covered that the value Of the estate
was not one but eleven millions.of dol
lars. He threw Staples over and
went west to fight his battle alone.
That was the mans sterling honesty
of nature and fighting quality. He
would not compromise with crooks. He
found that Staples mad formed com
pany claiming the land under certain
antiuuated acts of the legislature
John Haynes refused five millions and

INDUSTRIAL WORKERS or TIE WORLD.

The laboring men of Huttig and farmers of this vicinity demon strated about year ago that they were men, and good men at that, when they prevented the organiza- tion known as the Industrial Work CTS of the. World from organizing here and carrying on their an- archistic methods in our midst.
 At meeting of the outfit in New York last week one of their orators denounced the United States flag and said it was not worth fighting for and another one, women at that, said the American flag is not fit to defend They were arrested by the police just in time to keep them from being mobbed.
 The big majority of the people of Arkansas are too loyal citizens to affiliate with such cattle and we predict that it will be a good many years before the I. w. w. will get a foothold in this state.
