MR., HARDWICK CRITICIzES
THE EIGHT-HOUR MEASURE
SAYS CONGRESS ACTED UNDER
DURESS. SPLIT ON TARIFF
COMMISSION.

WASHINGTON. - Senator Hard
wick is still dubious as to the outcome
of the Adamson bill, which congress,
by enacting an eight-hour law for
railroad workers, averted the threat
ened nationwide strike. He does
not believe this was the proper man
ner of meeting the situation. Con-
gress was literally held up, he de-
clared. 1t acted under force, duress
and compulsion. 1t was not done so
much to meet presidential approval
to "invite the smile at the other end
of the avenue" as he phrased it, but
to keep highly organized working
men from absolutely tieing up the
business of the country. He said it
did not meet his approval that the
representatives of 100,000,000 peo-
pie had been forced hastily and with
out elaboration to act in the way
they did, to avert the strike.
81 submit it is our bounden duty, "
said Senator Hordwick, ito provide
a permanent system of laws by which
neither the railroads on the one hand
nor the workingmen on the other can
literally hold up the people of the
United States for as many advances
in wages or increases of dividends as
greed on either side may suggest, and
as often as either may desire"
Senator Hardwick voted against
the .Adamson bill and proposed in
stead to submit the question of wages
as we'll as freight rates to the inter
state commerce commission.
Senators Hardwick and Smith
have parted company over the crea-
ton of a tariff commission. Sena-
tor Smith favored it, while Senator
Hardwick voted with Senator Under
wood and three other democrats
against it.

MOB CAUSES DEATH
OF SHERIFF'S CHILD
SHOCK OF OHIO RIOTERS IN
SEARCH OF NEGRO FATAL
TO OFFICERS DAUGHTER.

LIMA, O.-Sheriff Sherman Eley,
victim of the enraged mob that few
days ago att 9mpted to lyncl Charles
Daniels, a negro accused of attack
ing Mrs. John Baber, wife of a farm
er near here, had added to his tor
lures the pangs of an aching heart
when upon his return home he learn
ed that his little daughter had died
from shock, caused when the mob
forced its way into the Jail, seeking
the life of the accused negro, who
had been spirited away to Napoleon,
and from thence to Toledo. Mrs.
Cecil Kephart Mrs, Eley's 18-year-old
sister, who is said to have been struck
and abused by the mob, is reported to
be in a serious condition.
Prosecuting Attorney Ortha Barr
of Allen county informally appealed
to Governor Willis to send state
troops to this city in an effort to keep
down revival of the mob spirit
State authorities took no action on
Mr.. Barr's request, as only the sher-
iff, mayor or county judge is author
lied to make a formal request for
troops.
Mob Still Threatens.
Instead of being resigned to ac-
cepting their defeat at the hands of
Sheriff Sherman Eley, as indicated
when quiet reigned, armed citizens
seemed ready for another outbreak
at the slightest provocation. For
this reason negroes were ordered to
stay off the streets and saloons were
closed.
A mob of 1000 persons gathered
about the court house and sheriff's
residence when the. sheriff returned,
but no demonstrations were made.
The death of Sheriff Eley's 3-year-old
daughter, Doris, who succumbed to
paralysis of the throat, as result of
shock received during the attack on
the sheriff's residence, had SOLDERING
effect on the mob.
Sheriff Eley, who returned from
Ottawa because of the condition of
his child, collapsed when she died.
When news of the death spread
among the mob at the court house it
began to dispense, but groups of men
continued for a time to collect at
other places about the city.
Sheriff Is Badly Injured.
Sheriff EIey was tortured on the
previous night until he directed the
mob to Ottawa, where he had taken
the negro for safety, and where, the
sheriff, made his escape from the an
gered crowd.
Sheriff Eley was unable to walk,
except with a cane, when he returned,
his foot having been crushed on the
trip to Ottawa, when the truck ran
over it twice. He was battered and
bruised over his entire body.

POKED PIG WITH BUTT
OF GUN AND is NOW DEAD
The Weapon Exploded and Killed
South Dakota Farmer.

PIERRE, S. D.-Poking a pig with
the butt of a shotgun resulted in the
death of John Dunway of Haakon
county. Dunway heard a commotion
among his chickens, and suspecting
the presence of a hawk, picked up his
gun and started for the chicken yard.
As he stepped out of the house pig
crossed his patch and he attempted to
push the animal out of his way with
the butt of the gun. The gun was
discharged and the full load of shot
took effect in Dunway's body, killing
his instantly.

HEARING ON CROSSING MATTER

Watchman

Two members Of the Wisconsin
Railroad Commission were here yes
terday and held a hearing at the
city hall in regard to the changing of
the crossing watchman who has
been on duty at the crossing on west
Miner ave. to the crossing on East
Sixth ST., near the new high school.
This change was favored by the city
council, the school board and by
the railroad company, which was re-
presented at the hearing by Atty R.
" Gleason, Of Minneapolis, and the
local agent, L. d. Marquette. Testi-
mony was introduced to show that
there was great deal more need
of crossing watchman at East
Sixth-st than at the Miner-av cross
ing, where comparatively few child
ren cross the tracks No decision is
expected for a couple of weeks, al
though the proposed change has al
ready been made, pending the de-
cfsion.

CHAPTER :.
Under Fire.

In it's spring freshness the usual
was tempered with pleasant green.
But the midday sun was blisteringly
hot, and the rider turned his eyes to
the snowy crests Of the Little Paw
mountains. The nearest of the rugged,
pine-clad spurs We're now only four or
five miles away. He had almost reached
the reservation. Wolf river marked
the boundary. The rangy stride Of his
thoroughbred mare was as easy and
unfaltering as when she had borne
him away from the half-dozen shacks
of the nearest ''town" on the railroad,
fifty miles back over the open range.
But as they began to top the rise, he
drew her down to her rapid walk, and
took cut his feldglasses.
Hardly had he focused the powerful
little binoculars when from across the
couiee, o short distance downstream,
came the crack OF q high-poWer rifle.
A moment later the shot was followed
by three deeper reports from up
Not SO the others. The blush smoke
puffs Of their charges of black powder
directed the gaze Of the rider to the
dozen or more swarthy, half-naked In
dians crouclling near the top Of the
coulee bank, across from the nearby
butte. All were warily peering down
the coulee.
The road ran Obliquely across the
narrow valley to a side gulley that
gashed the far bank hundred yards
or SO downstream. Back in the shelter
of this gulley four or five ponies stood
grouped before blackboard. Above
them man was crouched under the
edge of the bank. Another man lay
behind small bush, just outside the
entrance of the gulley. A woman in
civilized dress was coming around from
the rear Of the blackboard. The erect
figure of the rider tensed with quick
decision. He wheeled his mare out Of
the road, to cut down the sharp slope
directly towards the Indians. His
voice rang across the cOulee with the
clearness of a bugle call: "Ho, there!
Cease firing!'
AT his command, the Indians twisted
about to glare at him in half panic.
Three or four started to stink away.
But one swung his rifle around and
fired. The bullet grazed the riders
coat collar. lie flung UP his right hand,
palm outward. The reply to the peace
sign was second bullet, that cut the
crown of his campaign hat.
Two bullets were enough to change
the tactics OF the rider. At a word
from him and touch of the rein, his
mare swerved and plunged obliquely
down the side Of the coulee. The IN
dians burst into eXultant yeils, and
several opened fire On the fugitive as
the mare leaped down to the coulce
and dashed across the bottom toward
the gulley.
Z. Urged ON by voice and spurless heel,
the mare sprinted over the sandy level
with the rush Of racehorse on the
home stretch. Coming to the narrowed
stream, she covered it in a single tre-.
mendous leap, and dashed on. un-.

BUY LIGHTING PLANT
APPLEGARD INTERESTS OF ASH
LAND MAKE DEAL FOR LOCAL
LIGHTING PLANT
TRANSMISSION LINE TO BIG FALLS
Work On Dam At Big Falls Will
Probably Be, Commenced
Next Spring

The Applegard interests who own
the Ashland Light & power Company
have made a deal for the purchase of
the plant and franchise of the Lady
smith Lighting Co. The local plant
has already been virtually taken
over, effective November 1, although
there are a few minor details to
be settled
W. J. Hodgkins, of Ashland, who
is understood to be acting for the
Applegard interests, made the deal
here. The same interests acquired
the Big Falls power site a couple of
years ago and will construct a large
dam there.
John Jacobson, Of Appleton, was
here a couple of weeks ago, making
preliminary surveys, but no actual
work will be commenced this year.
Next spring, however, we are inform
ed on reliable authority that the
work of erecting an immense dam at
this site, eight miles northeast and
up the river from Ladysmith will
be commenced and vigorously push
ed until it's completion.
The Ashland Daily News is auth
Ority for the statement that AZ
foot dam is to be built at this site,
which will furnish $4,000 horsepower.
The very first work of construction
will be the erection of transmission
line from Ladysmith to Big Falls to
carry electricity for power and light
during the construction of the dam.
A transmission line may eventual
ly be built through to Ashland but
all of the current that can be used
at Ladysmith will be available here,
which will be Of inestimable value
to Ladysmith. The new company
will probably be able to furnish cleo
trio current here at very low rate,
when the Big Falls dam is harness
ing energy.

BEAR VISITS LADYSMlTH

A big black bear made Ladysmith
a visit of inspection early yesterday
morning and after wandering through
the town from one side to the other
made his escape with whole skin.
He was seen by a few people in the
east part of the city at about five
o'clock aand his tracks were plainly
visable in the snow all day and were
seen by many people, some of whom
We're somewhat startled to see bear
tracks through their yards and in
some cases right up to their docr-
steps.
Bruin evidently entered the city
on the south side and rambled up
through the town, crossing the rail
road near the new high school and
thence wandering up Worden ave-
nue. and through the r. S. Johnson
yard, coming as far west as the Root.
Fritz residence. He then made his
way north and east to the river
which he crossed on the ice and made
his departure from the city through
the paper mill pulp yard.
Bert and Ralph Davis, with the
help of a dog, tracked the bear
for a considerable distance out of
the city, but were unable to come up
with it.
Some of our exchanges will now
suggest, no doubt, that the bear nev.
er knew he was out of the woods
