FENNIMORE
Runs Into Herd.


Fred Jones, driving his bug super 6
Hudson to town Wednesday, had the
misfortune to run into herd of COWS
that Auctioneer George Finnegan was
taking to the Gilbertson farm. Three
of the COWS were hit and the car
passed partly over one. Fortunately
none of the animals were killed and
Fred is glad it was no worse.
Auto Collision
John Mulrooney, accompanied by
Robert Finnegan and Thomas OFlahr
ity, while on their way to Platteville
on the Observation-Disclosures road last
Monday, had the misfortune to have
collision with a Ford sedan driven
by party from the Montfort Motor
Co. The cars met on tn second
bridge on the Livingston road from
the Montfort corner and both ma
chimes were damaged considerably.
Neither car was turned over and the
occupants escaped unhurt but had a
pretty bad scare that they do not wish
to repeat.
Farm Home Burns
The Henry Bayman home southwest
of Sitter was burned to the ground
about II o'clock a. m. Friday. The
house caught fire from chimney sparks
and all efforts to put it out were of
no avail. The Fennimore fire depart"
ment responded to the call for help
and saved other buildings from get
| ting af1re. The house was partially
covered by insurance in the Liberty

Body May Repose
In State in ROtunda
Of National Capitol

Washington, July 27-(AP)-Fun-
eral arrangements for William j.
Bryan, if tentative plans for his bur-
ial at Arlington National Cemetery
are carried out, will accord to the
wishes of Mrs. Bryan, but they un-
doubtedly will take on an impressive
character.
AS a colonel of the third Nebraska
volunteer infantry during the war
with Spain, the commoner is entitlec
to a military funeral and the firing
of salute over his grave. but be-
cause OF his long advocacy Of the
cause of peace the military features
of the ceremony today remained a
matter of doubt.
Should those plans be carried out
his friends undoubtedly will ask that
the body will be allowed to repose in
state, probably in the rotunda of the
Capitol, where many of the leaders
of American political life have been
placed for last view by the fellow
citizens.

Escapes Injury
In Odd Accident

A most peculiar accident happened
yesterday afternoon to the driver Of
a REQ touring car between Fairfield
and Shawmut. The man, who was
the sole occupant of the car was
driving up a steep hill when one of
the front wheels of the automobile
became caught in some manner and
the car was turned over, the single
wheel acting as pivot. The driver,
sensing the danger, lay down fiat in
the front seat and when the car came
to a halt on its top he was unhurt.
The mergency truck from a local
garage went quickly to the scene Of
the accident but it took much time
and labor before the machine could
be righted and hauled to Waterville.

Vile. the latter place being the home
of Senator Butler, author of the
state anti-evolution law.
During the days of the Scopes trial
the heat in Dayton was most op-
pressive, and the court room crowd
ed to the doors. Mr.. Bryan was Of
necessity seated inside the rail at the
counsel table where there was very
little air. While he carried a palm
leaf fan there was little circulation
of breeze through the room and he
seemed to feel the heat exceedingly.
However, as far as known, he made
no complaints and there was moth
ing to indicate that the torridity was
in any way undermining his health.

Bryan had previously suffered any

Mrs. Bryan accepted the shock
bravely and remained calm.

said.
She expressed the desire that her

ed in that he holds the title of col

Disappointed Over Southern Press

surprise that the southern press had

cause of passage of the anti-evolu-
ton act.
Mr.. Bryan said that while much
ado was being made about the Ten
nessee law nothing had been said
concerning the act passed by Con-
gress prohibiting the teaching of
evolution theories in the District of
Columbia. He declared that while
Tennessee law is specific in that it
prohibited teaching that mankind
originated from lower animals. the
District of Columbia law prohibited
the teaching of anything that would
reflect upon the Bible.
Mr.. Bryan expressed pleasure that
the Scopes trial had suddenly col
lapsed before he was permitted to
make his prepared speech, declaring
that now he could present 1t to the
people of the country just as he
wanted it without Interruptions from
opposing counsel and without hav-
ing to make extemporaneous replies
to preceding speeches. He appeared
concerned over the coming battle be-
tween fundamentalism and modern
ism and seemed eager for the fray.
Mr.. Bryan came here and made
arrangements to publish his speech

Mr.. Bryan had prepared what was
to have been the closing argument
before the jury at Dayton. 1t was
no secret that the preparation OF
this address had been a matter of
weeks. Some of his friends thought
that he expected to make it one OF
the greatest efforts of his career
suggesting that it would perhaps be
his last extended oratorical effort
When arguments We're waived and
the case sent to the jury without A.
nal speechmaking. Mr.. Bryan said
that he would nevertheless present
his prepared address later and the
first succeeding days in Dayton after
the trial were spent in revising his
manuscript.
There were no indications of ILL
ness in "the Great Commoner" dur
ing the trial. On his arrival at Day.
ton a few days in advance of 1.-The
opening of the case, his APPARENT
physical fitness was remarked. He
spoke only once in court but deliv-
cred several addresses in Rhea

Despite the fact Mr.. Bryan had
spoken yesterday at Jasper and al
Winchester, Tenn, and had travel
led over 200 miles. he appeared in
the best of health and unfatigued
He attended services at the South
ern Episcopal Church and led the
congregation in a prayer which citi-
zens tonight described as one of the
most beautiful ever delivered in the
Dayton church.
Following the services, the COM
moner was greeted by many mem
bers of the congregation. He then
returned to his temporary home
here, where he ate heavy dinner
remarking that his travels Of yester-
day and the early morning had given
him a hearty appetite.
Shortly after o'clock Mr.. Bryan
