PLUNKETS STABBED
FORMER MADISON YOUNG MEN
ARE ATTACKED BY FOREIGN
ER WITH KNIFE.

Madison friends Of the young men
have received word of the serious
%stabbing this week of John and Will
lam Plunket, brothers. who were
raised near Madison. and are now
farming close to the town of Mott.
n. ID.
Report is to the effect that the two
young men were set upon by a for
eigner, who was a member of a
threshing crew hired by the Punk
cts. 1t is said that both men were
slashed in several places before other
members of the crew overpowered
the enraged knife wielder. The as
sailant escaped, but was overtaken by
farmers about six miles from the
scene of the assaults, and turned over
to the authorities at Mott. Doctors
who are attending the injured men
say the cuts are not likely TO prove
fatal.

MAY BE FAR AWAY
JAILBREAkEK HAS GOOD START
AND NO WORD HAS BEEN
RECEIVED.

No trace has as yet been found of
Carl Schultz, the young man brought
back from Fergus Falls, Mimi, on a
horse stealing charge, who escaped
from the county Jail last Wednesday
night. AS no favorable word has
come from authorities in surrounding
towns, who had been sent q descrip-
ton of the fugitive, it is feared that
he will not be apprehended unless he
should reappear at some of his old
haunts.
Sheriff r. w. Butts said today
that he was no nearer a solution of
the successful break for liberty than
he was when his prisoners disappear
ance was first discovered. He told
that he did not now think that blood
hounds could have been brought here
in time TO render assistance In track
ing the man. Ii is thought probable
that he walked to a nearby town and
boarded a freight train under cover
OF darkness. He disappeared be-
tween the time supper was served to
him and shortly after 8 O'Clock at
night. when the sheriff went TO look
at the furnace which heats the Jail
and courthouse building. Nothing
had been broken.

CHARLES TURNER
FORMER MADISON RESIDENT
DIED IN ROCHESTER, MINI.

An Aberdeen dispatch gives the

OF Charles Turner, who formerly re-
sided in Madison:
THE body of Charles Turner, pres
ident of the Bank of Leola, at Leola,
S. d., was brought here yesterday
and was taken to Leola for interment
on Friday. Mr.. Turner was hurried
by special train TO the Mayo hospital
at Rochester, Mimi, where an opera
ton was performed. and for a time
IL was believed he would recover, but
a turn for the worse came and he
died Monday night. His wife and six
children survive him. He went-to
Leola in an early day, and had been
in the banking business there more
than thirty years.
Deceased resided in this city in the
very early days, occupying a position

over to one of Mr.. Porter's guest, to
be decapitated Sunday.
The occasion had to do with a
guessing contest, which all had been
invited to give their opinion on the
number of kernels of corn the rooster
which was on exhibition in the store
window, could eat in four hours. The
rooster previously had tasted four
days, and evidently with no other
motive than to give concrete proof of
his gratitude for the service and the
good things provided, the fowl set
tied down and gobbled up a suffi-
cient number of kernels to make a
pan of corn bread. The number
was 257.
Three hundred men, women and
children had entered the contest, and
they had v%ariously guessed that the
chicken would devour from as to
LII kernels.
Mrs. c. w. Heubendahl won the
first prize, 50 worth of holiday goods.
her guess being 253 kernels. Frank
Hanneman proved that he knows a
little about what to expect from a
chicken that has had nothing to eat
for four days by predicting 263 ker-
nels. He won second prize. $3.50 in
holiday goods. Leo Flynn guessed
264, and he will eat the rooster that
ate the corn.

RUTLAND WONDERS


Citizens of Rutland are debating
as to whether the telegraph editor for
the Sioux Falls Argus-Leader or some
printer in that newspapers office is
not Juggling around an idea hat ne
has been the recipient OF unfair
treatment at the hands of the Lake
county town. and is now trying 10
get back" al the municipality. The
edition Of the Argus-Leader reaching
here yesterday contained. under %
two deck" head. the following item;
Rutland, Dec. S.-This morning
at 3 o'clock burglars entered the First
State bank of Rutland, blew open the
safe with dynamite, and secured
: j 600 in cash-mostly silver. The
people of the town heard the explo-
sion. The burglars entered the bank
by prying open the door. There is no
clew TO the robbers. The bank was
insured"
In Rutland il is denied that that
place was visited by cracksmen. 1t
is even declared that there is no such
institution there as the First State
bank. c. +. Olstad. president of the
First National bank here. is president
of the Farmers Savings bank at Rut-
land. Mr.. Olstad has not been adj
vised of any unusual occurrence in
connection with the place. 1t is
thought probable that the Sioux Falls
paper confused Rutland with Het-
land, where robbers are reported TO
have gotten about $1,000 from a
bank safe.

Oakland sunshine., 1915-07-24

The following are some of the
principles for which the Colored Cit
izens Protective Association, an or
ganization of colored men and women
recently cfganized for the civic pro-
lection and betterment of their citi-
zenry of San Francisco, stand for:
The principles we stand for and ad-
vocate in season and out of season. .
We believe that humanity is a unit,
and we advocate the cause of right
and justice for all sorts and condi-
tions of people, women, children and
men.
We believe in an Almighty God and
we are unalterably opposed to the
sovereign will and power vested in
one human being, man or woman
We believe in inspired and divine
race leadership and we are uncompro-
misingly opposed TO specially hired
or charitabJy bribed leadership for
this reason; any man who can be spe-
cially hired and privately paid to lead
the people can be bribed to nislead
the people.
We believe that colored men in all
parts of the republic should vote and
be allied with any political party they
desire, and we strongly advocate TAX
ing an active part in politics and vot-
ing at all elections.
We believe in broad franchise for
women and men, and we advocate the
same qualification for both, because
it is just, right and fair and will work
for the success of human progress and
good government.
The. object of the Colored Citizens
Protective Association is: To Seek the
truth by turning the searchlight on in
dark places; to oppose false teachings

be written or spoken; to closely ex-
anime books written by colored men
who pose as race leaders of their peo-
rle and to inpartially, but fearlessly
and publicly criticize the same; to
seek jobs for colored men in San
Francisco, such as clerks, policemen,
flremen, street sweepers and other po-
sitions; to look after the interest and
have the rights of the people defend
ed in the courts of law; to expose
the facts concerning fake white and
colored so called reformers.
We appeal to the women and men
to join US in crusade to change pub
lie opinion which at present is so
much against colored people. Let
us oppose the leadership of all spe-
cially paid leadership. We can abol-
ish them.

fee of Attorney Oscar Hudson, 372-

success of the convention under the
enlarged plan has been very encourag-
ing. The sessions were largely attend
ed morning, afternoon and evening by
both delegates and visitors.
That the New England Baptist mis-
sionary convention is rapidly meeting
the needs OF the churches in its terri
tory was made evident by the growth
In membership, finance and church
property shown by figures in the pres
ident's annual address. The opinion
prevails that the organization in the
future will not only receive reports
from the Individual churches within
its bounds, but will BECOME the receiv-
ing body to which state conventions
and other large bodies In the northern
and New England states will report
their work. In fact, the New England
convention will be the clearing house
for northern Baptists, including the
District of Columbia. Maryland and
Virginia.
With the idea of the northern Bap-
llcI uulfCLSlly fiC", LIS thO IL
dorsement of most of the ministers and
leading laymen of the churches, the
convention has created new field for
it's educational interests. The Rev.
John G. Love of Montclair, N. j., is
chairman of the conventions educa-
ton board and as such has done
commendable work. A fund for the
proposed institution is being raised
and a board of trustees elected.
Another advance step taken at the
New York meeting was the election OF
a layman to the board of managers Of
the convention and one on the trustee
board for the proposed northern Bap-
list university The sessions were har-
monious, and spirit of cooperation
pervaded the action Of the delegates
The receipts were over So, 100, being
the largest amount raised at any an
nual meeting in the history Of the con.
vention The Rev. Dr. w. P. Hayes,
minister Of the Mount Olivet Baptist
church, and its congregation deserve
great credit for the splendid business
way in which they provided for the
delegates and visitors.
The convention closed in blaze OF
glory on Monday night, June 21, with
a fine literary program and reception
to the delegates and visitors provided
by the entertaining church. The Rev.
w. B. Reed minister at the Mount Oil
vet church, Newport, r. l., presided.
The election of officers resulted as fol-
lows:
President, Rev W. Bishop Johnson,
Ii. D., Washington; vice president,
Rev. w. p Hayes, D.. D., New York;
corresponding secretary. Rev. w. A.
Harrod. Ph. D., Hartford, Conn; re-
cording secretary, Rev. t. ]. King,

nual meeting at the Second Baptist
church, North Philadelphia, Rev. DR..

fore the third Sunday in June, 1916.
