DIR. PACE REPORTS MYSTERIOUS
OCCURRENCE IN COUNTRY.
What Their Object Was No One

Knows. All Were Strangers ana
Only One Was Disguised.
DR.. D. E. Pace, the veterinarian,
was the victim of a rather thrilling
and annoying experience Monday
night of last week.
While making a hurry call to at
tend a sick mule east of town he was
held up on the public highway by
party of six men who had blocked
the bridge across Ross creek with a
heavy touring car. They had extin-
guished the lamps on the car and
signaled DR.. Pace to stop by striking
and waving matches. When he
brought his car to a standstill the
strangers surrounded him and after
asking several questions as to where
he was bound for and his business
permitted him to continue his jour
ney.
The party were strangers to DR..
Pace, and with the exception of one
man, who had his face BACKED, made
no effort to conceal their features.
1t is believed they were from
Mitchell county, and were hating
cars in the public roads in an effort
to get possession of Fleming Jack
son. a negro who had been arrested
in Terrell for the murder of Deputy
Sheriff Griner of the former county.

Wisconsin Bankers Association, yes
terday. Zone town of 900 had appli-

age farmer uses about $500 cash for a

the rest of the purchase price.
"The number of automobiles in Wis

which at an average of $1,000 each, &C
cording to figures furnished by bank

chimes about $50, OO0. 900. About three
fourths Of this sum is furnished by
the bankers in some form or other.

EDITOR EXPLAINS
! NATHAN PROTEST
Rev. R. H. Tierney, of Amer
Ica,' Quotes Speech in Rome
Attacking Catholics.

NEW YORK, June 12.-In answer
TO the assertions of Ernesto Nathan,
the Italian commissioner To the Pan
ama-Pacific Exposition Rev r. II.
Ilerney, editor of America, said last
night:
me Italian commissioner and his
friends are striving to cloud the is
sue The protests made against him
are due solely to the fact that he re-
Vlled the Holy See and the Catholic
feliglon in most gratuitous and Of
tensive way. Race politics and Ma
sonic affiliation, as such, do not enter
into the question OF course the
commissioner denies this, but in do
ing so he both emphasizes our con-
tention and offers an opportunity for
telling contrast The press reports
him as saying in part as follows.
AS a matter of fact the charges
are absolutely untrue. They want TO
set me up as an enemy of the Catho-
lie religion. There is no man who is
more respectful toward any religious
Faith, whether it be Catholic or
Protestant or Jewish or Moham-
medan, or what not, than l am.
am not an enemy of religion,
am not fighting anything sacred to
any man, but | have fought and will
continue to fight to the best of my
ability sham religions which are po-
litical organizations
Such words contrast strongly with
the following extracts from two nf
Mr.. Nathans speeches delivered in
Rome:
Another Rome prototype of the
past, shut itself up within an area
more confined than the walls of Bell
sarius, striving to crush thought
within the narrowest limits in the
fear that, like the embalmed corpses
of old Egypt, contact with the free
air may resolve it into dust From
there, from the fortress of dogma, the
last desperate effort to perpetuate
the reign of ignorance, comes on the
one hand the order to the faithful to
Danish from the schools that periodi-
cal press which tells of modern life
and thought; and on the other hand
thunders prescription against men
and associations who desire TO recon-
cile the practises and dictates of their
faith with the teachings of the in
tellect, of real life, of the moral and
social aspirations of civilization.
1T is well to bear in mind that
before the goth of September. 1870,
Rome, wrapped in the darkness of
enforced superstition, lying under an
intolerable servitude, thirsting for
light, tunnelled the earth interposed
between itself and the suns smile,
with anxious heart, with ear extend
ed toward Italy, toward Italy labor
ing with pick and mine to liberate it's
beloved! A few cannon shots suf-
feed to batter down the frail dia-
phragm which had till then segre
gated the city from free human in
tercourse, gripping her within the
narrow circle of dogma, divorcing her
from her pure radiant beginnings as
well as from the truths reached by
civilization and by science
"The malice and significance of
these extracts are clear. The words
are bitter and gratuitous attack
not only on the policy of the Holy
See, which is represented as DESTROYS
of perpetuating ignorance and so on,
but on dogma itself. Yet Mr.. Ma
than affirms that there is no man
