tceutinued from paEs Onsl

Continued from pays onsl
Dakota when he saw a Ford car
outbound. Another car going In
the same direction turned to the
left to pass around the Ford. Jones
was. walking a the extreme left Of
the road going out and was run oy-
er by the second car. He ran to
give assistance and held the door
of the Buick car open while several
men placed Jones in the car to
take him to the hospital. He said
10 did not hear a horn blow nor a
word OF warning before Jones was
struck. His idea of the distance
Jones was dragged was that 1t
might have been about 10 or 20
yards.
At the first session Of the jury
last week, Clark Martin rdriver OF
the Ford said that he had paced
the distance and found that Jones
had been dragged about 140 feet.
Sam Berardelli and Mike Chick
bothm of Follansbee, the home Of
Tomano were with him in the car.
Sa in the front seat and Mike In
the rear. Both testified that To-
mano bowed his horn and that he
was going very slow. Chick said
omano was driving about Q miles
an hour.
About as fast as you can walk"
was the terse comment made to
this part Of the testimony by AS

His Good Intentions
Got Him Into Scrape

Dan sfldck had the right idea last
night when he pulled a loaded pts.
toll from his pocket and held up one
Jacob Miller, colored, an alleged
thief, but Sikick's proof OF the
proper use of his firearm will not
be a good defense to the gun tot.
ing charge which has been pre-.
ferred against him.
Sildck's generous impulse to as.
sist in the capture OF a violator Of
the law occurred last night about
9 o'clock when a colored man stole
watch from white man by the
name Of John Shaffer as the three
were standing in the Serbian res.
taurant on Washington street. AIT.
er Shaffer complained OF the rob
berry, Sikick rushed from the place
and held up Miller Assistant Chief
Arnett happened along at the time,
and instead Of taking Miller, who
was later e1onerated on the charg.
es, the officer arrested the foreign.
er on aNcharge Of ''gun toting."
At the morning session Of police
court, Sthck was turned over TO
the state authorities for prosecu.

BUSINESS INSTITUTE
OF VALUE TO FARMERS

The business men of I4adySmith are
having an institute this week. which is
about the same fling as farmers III
Stitute.
While they have different problems
to face. they are up against as much
grief and have as much to contend with
as the farmers have. and they must
get together and find methods of hand
ling their business SO as to make ii
profitable or they must quit
The biggest bone OF contention tic
local merchants have to face is the
M | order houses. These houses
put ont leaders. such as sugar or cot
positive loss. They are forced to do
this as they cannot meet the prices OF
our local merchants on the bulk OF
their goods. These leaders are about
like the blinds on a horses bridle--
they get their customers attention cen
tered on the leaders and they make
their money on the balance of the or
der. Now that times are tight. the ma
order houses are becoming keener in
their advertising campaign and person
al letters mailed at great cost are sent
out TO keep their trade coming. as at
present many of these houses which
have formerly paid handsome divi-
dends, are paying none at all now that
the ma jOrity of of the people are hard
up and are going TO their local dealer
for credit
When one stops to figure the immense
cost of the mail order catalogues, the
cost Of circulars and postage on them
the high salaries Of the men who get
them out. the city overhead expense
they have to pay. which is nearly twice
what our merchants have to pay. and
the big dividends the mail order houses
have made and expect to make, is it
any wonder that our merchants have
them on the run?
Our merchants are learning this
week to give better service than ever
before and this service will prove ben.
eficial to farmers, as they are deter
mined to put their prices where nc
mail order house will have Il ''lO0k-in'
at the trade in this vicinity.

CITY EDITOR WRITES
SOME FARM NEWS

\ city reporter from Madison stated
that the snow storm they had down
there Saturday would probably kill all
of the hay meadow in the state, or
100000 acres. Nothing could be far
Their from the workings of nature on
hay land No snow storm ever killed
clover out. ard no amount of cold
weather ever affected clover when
snow was on the ground. The fact is
that large lot of the clover in the
southern part of the state had already
winter killed from freezing and thaw-
ing of the ground when it was free of
snow. Some fields here are reported
to have suffered or been killed out en-
trly. though it cannot be laid to the
beautiful snow. Most of the clover
in RuSll county came through the win
ter in fine shape.
