Sunday Morning Fire.

Sunday morning Mrs. +. S.
Googc, who lives on East Da-
kota street, got up and built
a fire and then went back
to bed to wait until the
house was warm. She soon
fell asleep and was awakened to
find the house in flames. The
high wind which was blowing ut
that time famed the blaze 50 that
the whole house was practically
destroyed. Very little of the
household goods were saved. The
severe cold, heavy wind and driv-
ing snow storm made hard work
for the fire department but they
responded to the alarm promptly
and kept the flames from spread
ing to the adjoining houses. But

of any town Of the size in this
part Of the their
work this far this winter has

Is DEAD
The Judge Who Escaped Lynch
ing Passes.

Now that attention is again
directed to St. Clair county's
bond question, it may be noted
that in the recent death Of Rob-
ert W. Forsythe, at Creighton,
there passed beyond a Cass coun-
ty judge who narrowly escaped
death at the Gum City tragedy.
Mr.. Forsythe and his wife died
the same day and were buried in
the same grave.
He was a member Of the Cass
county court which issued the
fraudulent railroad bonds for
that county. April "a, 1872, a
mob formed at Harrisonville
along the line of the NJ. X. & T.,
to capture and kill the judges OF
the county court, and went to
Gum City, u small station be-
tween 1[arrisonville and Holden,
placing an obstruction ON the
track to stop the train. Judge
Forsythc had a tip of the trouble
impending, and instead of being
on the train, he fled to his old
home in Ohio. Upon the train
were j. c. Stephenson, a county
judge, County Attorney James G.
Cline, Thomas +. Dutro, bonds
man for Cline. and Gen. Joe
Shelby.
The train stopped in obedience
to a vollcy that riddeled the cab,
and the crowd of 70 or so wear
ing masks called for Cline, who
stepped from the baggage ear to
the platform. He was riddlcd
with bullets and the crowd
rushed into the ears calling for
the bond robbers, and threaten
ing to burn the train if they were
not produced. Perceiving Judge
Stephenson in one car they shot
him down and dragged him by
the collar out upon the grass.
Butro WIS found ia-the mail
car and shot and severely wound
ed, being dragged out and
thrown OH the ground and per-
mittcd to bleed to dcath.-Henry

Mexican "Rurales Were Bandits

i President is0rfiriO Diaz adopt
ed a system which during his rule
checked and practically extin-
guished brigandage in Mexico.
Diaz appointed commission sim
liar to that which President Will
son has designated to inquire in
to the wages of railroad train
hands. This commission sum-
moned the bandit leaders of q
state or section to appear before
them, assuring them Of a safe con-
duct. Inquiry was made as to the
amount that bandits melted from
their profession. Owing to the
limited investments of foreign
capital in Mexico at that time
the average income of the brigand
was very small, not more than $40
a month. Diaz offered the out
laws $40 month to serve as
rurales," provided they furnish
their own horses and arms and
gave their entire time and service
to their country. Most of the
bandits jumped at this offer.
Those who did not accept were
stood up against an adobe wall
and shot.-IIOs Angeles Times.

An Old Fashioned Broom.

Dewitt Mcdaniel, who lives
east of the city a few miles, was
in town a few days ago and
brought to this office an old
fashioned hickory broom-the
kind that they used to make in
the early days, before broom corn
was discovered. A straight piece
of hickory is used and at one end
it is split very fine and the end
tied together and trimmed off
even, when it makes q mighty
fine broom and represented lot
of time and skill on the part of
Mr.. Mcdaniel. 1t was quite a
curiosity and one that very few
of the present generation had ev-
er seen.
