before Cunningham fired several shots.
Whether he did this to get some idea
OF the range or to rattle his enemy
was not known. His first stop was
made behind q fence thickly lined with
bushes. At the same time his enemy
took position behind stone wall.
They were at long range.
The American resorted to the COM
mon device Of raising his hat above
his screen. Getting q bullet in 1t. he
made up his mind that his enemy was
not skilled In this kind of warfare
When he saw the Frenchman change
his position, passing a gateway, Gun
ningham's surmise was confirmed. He
could have shot the man during the
few seconds he was exposed.
Cunningham had no wish TO kill his
enemy. During the maneuvering he
could have shot the Frenchman sever
al times, Desiring to wing him, he in
vented stratagem that would permit
him TO get an easy shot. Tearing a
loose piece of railing from the fence,
he picked up stick about three feet
long and with his handkerchief fas-
tened II across the longer piece about
foot from one end Taking off his
coat he put the sleeves on the cross
piece and put his hat or the end. as
scarecrows are usually made. Having
finished this work, he held his figure
against the top OF the fence so that it
would look to his enemy as If he were
sitting on it.
Two shots came in rapid succession.

The Frenchman saw it fall and, con

affair might have gone on indefinitely.
As 4 was, nothing more was required
Mutual apologies were exchanged. and

RANDOLPH
John L. Moses Died Saturday at Age OF
80 Years.

| 90 ttdISs
| The death of John Moses occurred on
Saturday morning at $3.50 after long
illness. Mr.. Moses had been failing in
health and strength for some time and
three years ago last September he had
a fall which fractured his hip and from
that time he had been unable to walk
and was confined to the bed or wheel
chair. Ten days ago he developed pneu-
monia. which Frustrated him so he was
unable to rally. John Leavitt Moses was
born in Meredith, n. H., 80 years ago
June Is last, one of eight children born
10 Dearborn and Polly lLeayitt) Moses.
His early life was passed there, but in
1856 he came to Randolph, where his
home had been since that time. Mr..
Moses was twice married, his first wife
having been Mary Kidder, who died not
many years after the union. Fifty-four
years ago he married for his second wife,
Abbe Jones, who survives him. To them
were born three daughters, one having
died in infancy, and Mary, the wife of
A. b. Gay and Miss Emma. who lives at
home, and has been a faithful and con-
slant companion of her parents. Mr..
Moses was in the early years of his resi-
dence here in the dry goods business
with Gilbert Tilson and the late Hobart
Smith. His health requiring out of
doors exercise he entered the livery bus
mess, which he continued many years,
part of the time in company with A. II.
Beedle OF this place. In 1900 he sold his
business to his sonin law A. b. Gay,
and since that time has been very quiet
at his home on account of his health.
Mr. Moses was one OF the oldest mem
bers of Phoenix lodge, f. and A. NJ, and
probably the oldest Mason in the yicin- !
ity. His funeral was held from his late
home on South Main street this after
noon at 2 o'clock, Rev Fraser Metzger
officiating, and interment was in the
family lot at Southview cemetery. The
Masonic fraternity gave the burial sery
ice of the order.

State Charges Violation of Law
to Assured Mutual and Sues

CLAIMS PLAN TO DEFRAUD
Commissioner Tries to Stop Business
Of Concern Headed by p. q.
Sullivan.

Decatur, Ill, Jan. S0.-Attorneys for
Rufus Potts, state insurance commits
sioner, filed in the county court yester-
day bill asking for an Injunction to
restrain the Assured National Mutual
fire insurance company of Decatur,
OF which Percy B. Sullivan is the head.
from continuing in business, and ask
ing also that a receiver be appointed
to conserve the interests of the policy
holders.
The petition charges that the man.
agement of the company violated the
law and failed to act in the spirit of
the letter OF its charter. It is also
charged that the company did not
nave $4,000 cash when it was organ
lied, as the law requires, that the cash
account was padded for the purpose
OF deceiving the examiner OF the insur-
ance department; that the annual re
port made Dec. 81, 1912, showed the
total unpaid losses amounted to S4,17O,
and that during the next eleven
months losses amounting to S1O,S3O
were settled.
The belief is expressed that unpaid
losses at the time the annual state
ment was made aggregated $4,000.
1t is said also in the bill that the
petitioner believes the assets of the
company were given as s17.sO0, but
were only $500, and that the differ
ence was borrowed temporarily to
make showing, and that the total
gross premiums were given as s27,495
when they were s105,797.
Other charges are that no regular
elections of officers have been hello
since 1910 and that certain clauses in
the policy contracts are designed TO
defraud.
The case will be heard in the May
term of court
