COL. D. R. MURRAY
Visits Hartford. Tells Civil War
Stories TO Members Of Re-
publican Office.

A distinguished visitor TO Hartford last
Friday was Col. Murray, of Hardinsburg
While here the Colonel was in the Re-
publican Office and we got him started on
some Civil War stories Here's one that
he gave us. For some time Col. Muir
RAYS regiment was stationed at Hopkins
willie and during that time prisoner
was taken and condemned to be shot as
a spy. Col Murray, then a subordinate
officer, was ordered TO take charge OF the
execution the next morning at daybreak.
lie loaded the guns of the firing squad
putting blanks in half of them and bull
lets in the rest The men were stationed
in what was then known as the old Boat
House, because of its peculiar shape, and
the condemned man was locked in one
of the rooms of the old house Every
thing was prepared for the execution and
the hours slipped by. The Co'onei was
by no means enthusiastic over the job
and dreaded il almost as much Is the
prisoner. Sometime during the night,
however, some new evidence was intro
duced and he was ordered to stay the
execution He went to tell the prisoner
of the good news The mental picture,
SAYS Mr.. Murray, is still visible. He
opened the door and saw the man lying
on his rude bed of straw, face buried i'll
his arms, undoubtedly thinking of the
fate which was to meet him upon the
appearance of the sun, the birds and
other things mercy. Colonel Murray
broke the good news, the man sighed,
turned over and said, "thank God" a
few weeks ago Colonel Murray received
a letter postmarked New York He
broke open the envelope, read the letter,
and imagine the surprise of the ex-
Adiutant General when he saw that it
was from this same man whom he had
been ordered to execute. The letter
stated that the writer we'll remembered
Mr.. Murray and could still hear his voice
announcing mercy Colonel Murray
was in Hartford once during the War
and was near here a second time. On
one occasion while riding at the front OF
his regiment with the Lieut.. Colonel
near Hartford they were met by a volley
of shots Mr. Murray was riding
spirited Kentucky horse which, being
scared by shots, threw him. The men
thought him dead but he was soon up
again unhurt and search was started
for the enemy The small woods ahead
was searched quickly and carefully but
not a man could be found. 1t was quite
a strange incident as there must have
been several men in the firing party.
The Colonel thinks now that there was a
cave somewhere in the woods and the
Rebs fired and Immediately sought
refuge in the cave. Colonel Murray is a
splendid type of Southern Gentleman,
tall and graceful he moves about with
the ease of one many years his junior. -

Such Proof as This Should Con.

The public endorsement of a local citi-

duced. None better, none stronger can
be had. When a man comes forward
and testifes to his fellow-citizens, adj
dresses his friends and neighbors, you
may be sure he is thoroughly convinced
or he would not do so. Telling one

CARE Of SHADE TREES
Method Of Pruning and Treat
ment Of Wounds TO Prevent
Entrance Of Decay-Producing
Germs.

The best time to attend to several i'm
portant operations connected with the
proper care of shade trees is during the
late fall or early winter. This work
NAV be done at this season of the year,
however. when weather conditions per
nit.
Large dead, decayiug, CT unsishtly
limbs may be removed. The best way
to do this is to saw ne.quarter or one
third through the limb from the under
side, at a point Il inches or foot be-
You'd the point where the final cut is to
be made. A second cut on the upper
side should be made half-inch or more
back of or beyond the first one. The
saving on the upper side should be cor
tinued until the limb falls. The first
cut on the under side is to prevent the
splitting or stripping of the outer wood
and bark as the limb falls, something
which almost invariably happens when
a heavy limb is removed by a single cut
from the upper side. This leaves a stub
several inches long which must be
sawed off close to the trunk, or close to
the larger supporting limb, as the case
may be. The stub should be held in
place until completely severed. The
final cut should be made so that its sur
face will conform as nearly as possible
with the shape of the supporting limb
or trunk. No projecting stub or stump
should be left, as this interferes with
the rapid healing of the wound.

EXAMINE HORSES EYES
FORPOSSIBtE DEFECTS

Defective eyesight' in horses is
very serious fault, and to 1t can be d.
rectly traced the cause of innumerable
accidents, writes correspondent of
the Farm and Fireside. A blind horse
is always dangerous under the saddle
or in single or double harness. A horse
with q defective vision that distorts
ordinary objects met with on the road
is even more Objectionable, in some re-
spects, to ride or drive than the horse
that is totally blind. Shying in many
instances Is the result of poor eyesight.
The buyer or owner who is apprehen-
sive regarding a horses eyes or eye
may satisfy himself whether or not
disease exists by following the direc-
tons here given for the examination of
the eye: With the thumb and forefn-
ger gently part the eyelids, thus ex-
posing to view the eye and the mucous
membrane lining the lids. The right
hand should be used in manipulating
the lids of the left eye and the left
hand for the right eye, the finger in
each case being pressed on the upper

anime the interior of the eye for in
cipient disease or slight defects more
careful examination is necessary,
The interior Of the eye cannot be sat
isfactorily examined in the sunshine or
under a clear sky. Grave defects can
be seen under such circumstances, but
for careful examination of the eyes the
horse should be taken where all light
from above is shut Off where it falls on
the eye from the front and side. The
examiner standing in front will see
the reflective rays from the cornea, the
front of the lens and the back and can
detect any cloudiness, opacity or lack
Of transparency.
The most satisfactory examination
can be made in a dark room by illumi-
mating the eye with lamp or small
electric light placed forward and out
ward from. the eye and moving it about.
If the pupil remains closed or so tight
ly contracted that the interior Of the
eye cannot be seen the eyelids may be
rubbed with extract Of belladonna, and
soon the pupil will be widely dilated.
