section and set up a mill and cut
over the square miles all around
Lucas Cullen was one OF these men

But the Mormon Drane-what-

mother Cullen spread about lies
One OF the lies. which proved in the
end the most dangerous. was that
the Mormon had lust for the wife OF
another lumberman. Henry Taylor.
AS she spoke. Agnes Cullen came
forward and showed herself more
plainly in the light No one-not
even Lucas Cullen. in his guilt
clouded usness-believed her
a phantom now.
Lucas Cullen told the lie about
! Richard Drane and Laylor's wife
only to harm the man who had made
him trouble and to injure a rival;
for Henry Taylor had built a mill
only a few miles from CulIens near
a little place called Galilee.
Neither would let the other drive
him away; so they fought till Henry
Taylor was burned out; and, as you
have just heard, he was killed.
Lucas Cullen had that fire set;
he met near Galilee a man in his
| pay-Quinian-and sent him 10 light
shavings upwind from Laylors mill
When it was known that Taylor was
killed. Lucas Cullen said that the
man who had set the fire was the
| Mormon Drane who wanted TO kill
/ Taylor to get his wife. It was a
/ savage, lustful lie of the sort which

save Drane from being murdered
let US think. but partly also to stop
suspicion swinging to his guilty self
made a great play for justice and
for a trial for the Mormon and
stopped the lynching-and perjured

Lucas Cullen and his man Quinlan
had done.

She stopped and waited for an

My father did not die for many
years" Barney heard his mother
say. MY mother worked constantly
TO get my father free. She died
when 1 was a young girl, and I took
up the useless attempts. I changed
my name and came to Chicago to

and built his house at St. FIorentin
and I went TO live near there.

RURAL SCHOOLS
TO GRADUATE
ONE HUNDRED

All of the rural schools in Audrain
County will have completed their
winter terms by May Is. This is thu
year when the eighth grade work il
not offered so the number finishing
is less, only about 100 receiving Dip
Tomas. Last year 226 finished the
work. This year however Glass A.
is larger so next years graduating
class will be larger.
There are now 5000 school chill
dren in the county and ISL teaching
positions. Their are eighty rural
schools. Some of the schools COM
pleted their terms several weeks ago
as in some localities it is more CON
venient to have school begin as early
as July and close in March to allow
the children to help with the speing
work.

HISTORY OR. F. D.

Road conditions following the
rain Monday night are the worst in
the history of the rural service from

route completely. He reported the
highway to Columbia had withstood
the storm and was in good condition.
The part Of his route which forms a
loop south, west and then north back
to the Columbia road running past
the George Brown farm was found in
very bad condition, including several
culvert washouts. The bridge near
Ben Browns is in dangerous condi-
ton.

Wednesday and was able to serve is
complete route, which runs north and
west.

was able to serve his complete route
but had to drive through water in the
bottoms on both sides of the Arnold
bridge, northeast Of Mexico.

far as the Liberty schoolhouse Wed,
nesday on Route 5. Two temporary
bridges ove the creek west of thu
schoolhouse had been washed out

Carrier Harry MCGEE was unabl,
to rive patrons on the fore part o
Route 6 Wednesday because Of higl
