How time is bridged over is strik-
ingly illustrated from paragraph
from the Mayville Tribune, quoted by
Editor Copeland of the Willard Leader
in 1888. Mr.. Copeland is still doing
good newspaper work in 1914, and in
1888 he noted the good work done by
Waldo M. Potter of the LaMoure
Chronicle, who told the newspaper fra
ternity in 1887 that he had been do
ing newspaper work in New York
State when Queen Victoria assembled
the British throne. Now that was in
1887, and she was celebrating her jub-
lice in 1887, which jubilee was no
doubt the occasion of Mr.. Potter's
"reminiscences. Well, the writer of
this column enjoyed visiting in her
youth with Miss Niven, a fine old lady
of 81, whose back did not touch the
chair, and whose faculties were clear
and intelligent, while she told of the
plays her brother, Gilbert Niven, had
with Robert Burns and his brother
when they all went to school together.
Gilbert was 1O1 years old, and was out
in the fields with his nephew, while
we talked; rather, while she talked,
and listened. And those schooldays,
of such pleasant memory, were going
on while American settlers were busy
planning their independence. Post
cards were new, not picture postals,
but the plain cards, when this fine old
lady was nearing her century, and one
of the treasures Of the writer for
many years was a postcard received
from her, in which she said that if Mr..
Gladstone used postcards in CORES
pondence, need she apologize for it !?
But the Fire Fiend swept the card
away with many other treasures in
1901, and people don't apologize for
postcards nowadays; they excuse
themselves for writing personal let
tiers on the typewriter.
The melting of the snow used to I'M
cover tragedies Of the winter, and the
paper of this week, in 1888, told of
Couth Marjoribanks riding over the
range, and finding the bones of Char
ley Richards, F. A. Powers herder,
who had been missing for many
months. He was identified by his hat,
which lay alongside, and an empty
bottle told the rest of the story. His
horse had reached the ranch in due
season, but diligent search for days
had finally been given up.

Former New Haven Head
When Motion is Argued

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. March 12.-
Counsel for Charles :. Mellen stole
march upon state officials Thursday
and filed before Judge Tuttle formal
motion demanding the release from
custody of the ex-president of the New
York, New Haven and Hartford raii-
road. who is accused of manslaughter
in connection with the wreck of the
springfield express at WestporJ' IN
October, 1912.
The motion was filed while States 8
Attorney JudsOn was preparing 10 tle
an amended complaint against Mellen.
AS soon as court opened Homer >
Cummings. personal counsel for Mel
len. submitted n motion that federal
Judgment be rendered upon the de-
murrer sustained last Friday against
the indictment upon which Mellen was
arrested and asked that the prisoner
be released.
States Attorney Judscn immediate
ly opposed the motion and asked Tor
permission to file his amended COM
plant, which he put into the hands of
the clerk. Attorney Cummings in turn
argued against the motion of the state
and reiterated his demand for the re-
lease of Mellen. Judge futile said he
would hear both lawyers before reach

NEW YORK, March 12.-Discon-

criticised their commanders William

The storm arose because Haywood

ODARRELED WITH
F|ANCEE BEFORE
|SAPPEARANCE
Relatives of Anthony PIiIIer OBJ
tain New Clue to Reason
for His Dropping Out of
Sight Three Weeks Ago.

A quarrel with his fance which Oc-
Cured just previous to his departure
it is now believed by relatives may be
one cause underlying the mysterious
disappearance of Anthony Piller from
his home at 1903 5. Taylor St
Piller left home one morning little
over three weeks ago and has not been
heard from since. While he had often
hinted at some such action on his part,
no cause other than general despond
enCy could be found until his fiance,
South Bend girl, whose identity is
being kept a secret, admitted that she
and Piller had had a serious falling
out just previous TO his disappearance.
Since the mans absence has become
known, neighbOr Of PLIERS has
come forward also with the statement
that Piller stopped TO see her a day or
two before he disappeared and bid her
good bye with the remark that she
would never see him again. He did
not explain what his intentions We're,
however.
Piller had at various times limited
and threatened both suicide and a
mysterious disappearance. He had
told his cousin. also named Anthony
Piller. with whom he lived, that he
would either go away and hide his
identity or kill himself OF late the
latter threat has been the more COM
mon and relatives believe that he took
the latter course.
When Piller left home he was clad
i'm working clothes He remarked
that he would be hoTne for dinner but
never showed UP again. He had
practically no money nor did he take
any or his possessions. Piller has a
mother in Europe and brother and
sister in Scranton, Pa The latter
have heard nothing from him since his
disappearance. His fiance IS equally
i'm the dark and is deeply affected by
his disappearance
