Wanders Away From Home

Wednesday morning Harold Bark
hurst, aged about 80, son of Wilson
Barkhurst, who resides near Penns-
Vile on the late John Harkins place,
now owned by Mr.. and Mrs. Curt
Bingham, left the house at O'Clock
to feed the hogs, and as time went
on, and he did not return, the FAM
lily became uneasy and began to
search for him. Not finding him
they summoned neighbors and a
general search was begun, and
along in the afternoon, Sheriff
Adrean, the firemen and others
from here went out to assist. About
4 O'Clock in the afternoon some of
the searchers found him in a sheep
barn on the John Grew place, lying
quietly. Thinking he was dead,
they went back to report, and called
the coroner, however the coroner
did not go out, as on returning to
the barn, Barkhurst was not seen.
But they discovered rope, which
it was presumed he had left. The
search was continued, and along
about 1880 o'clock, he was found
in a pile of leaves near the porch
at his home. Blood hounds had
been called for, but he was found
before they arrived.
A week ago Barkhurst was in
jured about his head in an auto
mobile accident, and it is thought
there may be a blood clot on his
brain, which would account for his
strange actions Mr. Barkhurst's
wife was Miss Lucy Palmer of this
pace.

DECIDED DEMOCRATIC TREND

In the election at large through
out the country, the Democrats
made big gains, and as the result of
several special Congressional cleo
tions to fill vacancies caused by
death, they now have majority of
two in the lower house of congress,
which in all probability will give
them the organization of that body.
The new house lineup gives the
Democrats 217 seats; Republicans,

SENATOR CLAIMS sOv|ETs
 WANT ID SECURE ALASKA

Senator Lewis of Illinois, who has been engaged in studying conditions in Europe, has brought back the interesting news that the view is held in Germany that Russia is preparing to make war on the United States, with the ac- quisition of Alaska as the main objective, reports the Exchange.
 According to this view as given in press reports, the "non-aggres- sion pacts" Russia has been con- cluding with European nations re- gently are really directly against the United States.
 Senator Lewis is reported as saying, it is the German view that Russia will raise the conten- ton that the sale of Alaska to the United States was accomplished by deception on our part, and the Soviets will fight to yin the Ter ritory back. And while Russia is taking Alaska from the United States she will permit China or Japan to take the Philippines.
