sions of four of the five strikers for
mally charged with murder in connec-
ton with the wrecking of the Michigan
Central Million Dollar express special
near Gary a week ago, and the death
of the engineer and fireman, were in the

men in their confessions had named a
Chicago official of the shopmen's union
and other plotters who had planned to
wreck a New York Central fast train.

story told by one of the men that the
plot was fostered by an official of the
shopmen's union and originated at a
meeting the day before the wreck in
Armitage hall, in Chicago, is being in
vestigated.

ON THE RUN.

Twenty four million quarts of LIQUOR
were seized by federal prohibition
agents in 1921, according to recent
compilation.
The same authority says forty thous-
and people were arrested for unlawful
making or selling liquor last year, and
that twelve million dollars worth of
property was seized because it was be-
ing used for the unlawful sale or manu-
facture of liquor.
Some people will say that these fig
ures show that the prohibition law is
not being enforced. Others will claim
Just the contrary.
Don't you think the latter view is
correct Does not the record show
that the law is being enforced, and
that those who attempt to violate the
law are being made to suffer +?
The truth is that liquor is on the run.
1t has been outlawed by statue, and
while prohibition enforcement is not
perfect yet it is making progress.

THE EXCITEMENT" WAS GREAT.

Little dodgers headed excitement
which were circulated to 2 generous
degree throughout our city within the
past week, did their part well. They
announced the mock trial of church
deacon on statutory charge, to take
place Tuesday evening, January 81, and
an audience which tested the capacity
of the spacious Sunday-school room of
the Nj. T. Church turned out.
The case was that of the State of
Wisconsin against Richard Harris for
running a still in the basement of the
church. The proceedings lasted about
three and one half hours and were so
excruciatingly funny that the crowd
was continuously convulsed with luagh-
ter.
Especial credit for the success of
the undertaking is due Judge" Cady
and the lawyers Jackson and Priestley.
But the jury, witnesses, clerk, sheriff
and the prisoner himself were not far
behind in carrying out their parts.
The Methodist Brotherhood is to be
congratulated.

FATHER AND SON BANQUET.

A Father and Son Banquet" is to
become reality in Mineral Point this
winter. A joint committee representing
the brotherhoods of the Congregational
and Methodist churches has been busiy
engaged in planning for the event
which it is hoped may become an annual
affair in this community. The commit
tee has been very fortunate III securing
the banquet rooms in the Masonic
Temple in which to stage the get
togher on the evening of Feb %, 1922.
The plans of committee are to get
some live, entertaining speakers. and
also to stage several stunts for the
amusement of the fathers and sons.
The purpose is to get fathers and sons
together for a better understanding Of
each other.
Fathers without sons and other men
are urged to bring somebody's son who
will otherwise be unfortunate in not
being able to attend because his father
is no longer with him. BE big brother
to some boy for one night Give him
a feed, good time and let him be in
spired to become worthy citizen.
The idea is to make this a big nom
sectarian event for the uplift of the
entire community.
Get your shoulders to the wheel and
make this big success.

BIG FARM FIRE
Over so Head of Cattle and
z Horses SmOthered or
Burned to Death
Large Barn, Seventy Tons of Hay
and Some Grain Went Up in Smoke

A very destructive fire took place
last Saturday evening at what is known
as the T. H. Shepard farm, one mile
southwest of our city limits.
The farm is occupied by Sidney Shep-
ard, Jr son of T. H and the Guernsey
herd of milk cows kept there together
with the hay, were the property of
Elmer Argall, of this city. son in-law
of t. II. Shepard.
All work of assembling the stock in
their accustomed places for the night,
together with the feeding and milking,
was done before dark, hence no lantern
or other artificial light was used. After
supper the hired help having taken a
team of horses to go to town. Sidney
was alone and rested on lounge await
ing the time TO come to this city to
meet his wife who was returning home
from GAINESVILLE on the 1920 train.
Upon arising and passing window he
noticed an extra bright light without
and he instantly discovered it was the
barn afire. A telephone call to the city
resulted in the chemical engine and
force getting there quickly. They all
did heroic work and it is believed saved
all buildings and contents excepting the
barn. Sidney rushed to the scene of
confiagration. but only in time to save
two horses that were harnessed pre-
paratory to going to the depot.
The barn was qnite large go 80
feet and there persisted within two
horses, forty-four cows and nine calves
all laid lifeless in their stalls and
stanchions in very short time. 1t
was syltiable sight In the barn were
also ,3',uf seventy tons of hay and
some giain. all consumed
MISUNDERSTANDING there was some in
surance on barn and stock the loss is
heavy Mr.. Argall owned al cows. all
good 1uernseys, and the hay. The
barn was the property of t. Fl. Shepard,
while the two horses, three of the cows
and the nine calves belonged to Mr..
Shepard and his son Sid jointly. This
is as we get it from one who ought to
know. OF course there were other
minor losses through the work of pro-
tecting adjoining buildings which could
not be avoided. The silo. farm imple-
ments and machinery were saved.
The Messrs Shepards and Argall
have deep feeling of appreciation for
the spontaneous and effective work of
all who came to their relief.
