. GAVE A LATE SMOKER

The Audubon Commercial Club
gave a smoker at the X. of p. hall
Tuesday evening after the program
at the chautauqua. The speaker of
the evening was Victor Murdoch He
is one of the real good fellows and
the object of the smoker was to meet
the distinguished gentleman from
Kansas. Mr.. Murdoch gave a very
nice talk and admitted his pleasure
in meeting so many of the Audubon
boosters. After his talk, the matter
of chautauqua for next year was
discussed. The sentiment of those
present was unanimous for another
year of the Redpath-Vawter system
and the Club at once entered into a
contract for next year.
This years program was perhaps
the best Audubon has had in the
nine years that the chautauqua has
visited the town, and from all in
dications the attendance each year
is increasing. Had 1t not been for
the excessive rains. the attendance
this year would have been ten to
twenty per cent greater than in years
gone by.

INSANE MAN AT
LARGE NEAR BRAYTON
With Nothing on But Pair of Shoes
He Was Discovered on Sunday

The wild man, who has been seen
at different times during the past dec
ade, inhabiting the timber at Ham
Inns Grove, was seen again Sunday,
this time by Anita people. Albert
Wagner, wife and children and VIM
Wagner, Jr, wife and children left
early Sunday morning for this grove
to spend the day. About 4 o'clock
in the afternoon the men went to
'Oakfield to get some lemons and sug-
ar, and during their absence, this
man made his appearance, but not
coming closer than $50 yards of the
party. AT this time he was eating
green acorns from the trees. The
party was much alarmed BY the
time the men returned he had got
ten within sixty feet of the ladies', so
the men started to meet him. They
got within eight or ten feet of him,
before they were able to make him
turn around and leave. They spoke
to him, but the only answer they
could get was a groan. The man ac-
cording to both the Wagner gentle
men, appeared to be about fifty years
old and the only thing he had on ex
cept what nature gave him, was a
pair of old shoes. The Wagners not
flied different parties at Dayton and
soon there were a number from that
town on the scene, but it was impos-
sible to locate him again. 1t is sup
posed that he is some demented man
of that vicinity, but none who are

CAMERON DAM
PICTURES SOON
The Great Wisconsin Tragedy to be
Shown i'm Moving Pictures at
The Gem Theatre August 9TH

Last week the Republican contain
ed news story concerning the Cam
eron Dam, and told of the son of the
famous John F. Dietz being in the
city making arrangements to portray
the tragedy in motion picture form.
Mr.. DietZ concluded arrangements
with Mr.. Hoover and this battle
which took place in 1910 will be
shown at the Gen theatre on Satur-
day. August 7th. We told the story
last week as it was told to us by the
son of the man who is now doing
time in the penietntiary for protect
ing his own home and family.
The story in brief is John Dietz de-
fled the government of the United
States and big lumber company TO
confiscate his property. The Dietz
case certainly is still familiar to 'all
Republican readers as the papers IN
1910 were full of the details of the
efforts of this man and his family to
protect the property which was right
fully his. Circumstances so combiu-
ed themselves that the elder Dietz
was sent to prison for life anG despite
a petition with $4,000 nai es at
tached TO pardon him, is still con-
fined.
The son who was here is travelling
with these motion pictures of the
dam, the home and the country there
also depicting the fight which took
place. The sympathies Of the people
all over the land were unquestion-
ably in favor of the condemned man.
The people of Audubon and vicinity
will have q splendid opportunity of
seeing the tragedy true 70 life and it
certainly will be interestin.; II will
be well worth your time and money.
We are told by those who have seen
the pictures that they are intensely
interesting and gives one an idea of
what takes place when man is cor
nered and compelled to protect his
own life and that of his loved ones.

chised from voting. He drove home
a splendid point when he said we
northern people would not allow the
colored man to marry our daughters
any more than the southerners
would. The only solution to the col
ored problem is segregation and 1t
is question the people of the United
States will be called upon to solve
sooner or later.
The down pour of rain made the
tent almost inhabitable and did much
to interfere with the speaker, yet he
was given the closest attention for
almost two hours. Sam Schildkret
and his orchestra arrived on the af-
ternoon Rock Island and gave their
short concert after the lecture.
On account of the continued rain
the evening program was called Off
as stated in the first paragraph of
this article much to the disappoint-
ment of the people as well as the
players.
Supt. Wolf and the college boys
started the task of taking down the
tent Immediately following the close
of the program and they were kept
busy until after two o'clock. The
equipment was taken to Canton, Mo-,
where Mr.. Wolf was to manage the
next chautauqua.
The morning lecture hours were a
special feature of the chautauqua this
year. The first came on Thursday
morning when Yutaka Minakuchi,
the Jap gave a talk on "The Men and
Religion Forward Movement. On
Friday morning DR.. w. B. Dickinson,
secretary of the National Play
Grounds Association of America,
gave a most interesting talk. Satur-
day morning III. r. McKeen a preach
er from Oklahoma gave a splendid
talk on Solving the Rural Church
Problems" The great orator and
lecturer from China, Ng Poon Chew,
preached powerful sermon on Sun
day morning. DR.. F. Q. Brown talk
ed on the Economic Value of Mis-
sions'' Monday morning. A great
many of our people availed them
selves of the morning lectures and
said they were in many respects equal
to the Afternoon and evening speak
ers.
Miss Ada Pemberton had charge
of the junior work this year. She is
a delightful lady to meet and did a
great deal of work with the child
rem which was thoroughly enjoyed
by all who took part. Each morning
Miss Pemberton took the children
through one of the foreign countries.
II had been planned to give a short
program the last night and extensive
arrangements had been made. The
rain storm however, prevented the
children from appearing on the plat
form. A number of awards were
made to the children and those winn-
ing them were asked to step to the
platform to receive their prize. The
attendance in Audubon was the larg-
est of any chautauqua so far this
year is reported by Miss Pemberton
who was especially delighted with
the little Audubon folks.
