newswaper does not serve tho public properly when it makes any riiscriminatien in giving the news. Caste or social standing of peoplo should have no bearing when it comes to giving the current news.

DEATH UNDER THE WHEELS.
Jacob Harsb barger Throws Himself Under
a Moving Freight Train With Suicidal Intent,
Monday evening about o'clock",Jacob Har.-hbarger was walking leisurely up and down the platform of the Plum street station of the BigtKonr waiting for the 5:2.! east bound passenger. Will Nortcut of this city was at his side, as Mrs. Harshbarger. who was iu the waiting room, hail told him to keep watch on hei husband. Mr. und Airs. Harshbarger had been visiting James Caldwell's family, on south Elm street, and they were at the station to take the train for their home in Boone county, about three miles northeast of Jamestown.
Affreight train had run in a few minuets ahead of the passenger and was slowing up to take water. Mr. Harshbarger without a moments warning suddenly threw himself forward and landed on his hands and knees on the track beneath the moving cars. Caldwell wasjalmost dumb-founded but realizing the situation, quickly grabbed tho victim by the leg anil pulled him back toward the platform. The effort proved a second too late, as Harshbarger was only pulled far enough back for the wheels to pass right over his neck causing instant death. The train had almost come to a stand still before the wan fell and it is s«id the ^wheels did not advance more than 6ix feet until they ceased to turn.
The body was at once removed from the track, and taken to the undertaking establishment of McClure Ac, Scott pending the arrival of Coroner Bronaugli. who hail been summoned rronn New Boss. The remains were looked upon by a large number of people at the undertaking rooms during the evening. An examination revealed the fact that the head had almost been severed from the body, nothing but the skin remaining intact and entirely hiding the death crush of the heavy wheels. Tho coroner having completed the inquest, the body was removed to the home of Mr.
Caldwell, the dead man'sbrother-in law, where he and his wife had been visiting. On Tuesday the remains were placed on the train and taken to Jamestown for burial.
Mrs.Harshbarger was almost overcomo with grief at the horrifying sight of, seeing her husband dragged from under the cars and laid out dead before her. The shock was too much for her and she lay at the Caldwell home prostrato all evening.
Mr. Harshbarger "-u :W years of age and worked on a large farm, lie had no children living and only the wife is left to iiiourj hi-- untimely death. He had just recover' from a spoil of sickness, whi.-h is BUj-poBcd to have caused temporary aberr 'ion of a not overly strong iuind. It ,s said that all day Monday he acted curiously and Dr. Leech advised the wife to 'ue her husband home. Ho would '.rdly permit his wife to leave his sigiii during all that day and when she would leave tho room for a minute ho would be ill at ease until her return. The buiden of this talk was in recounting the virtues and [gentle disposition of his wife. A physician expressed the opinion by a in to I v:r.w scribe, that llarshbarger'6 mind had been more or less effected for some time. .-
A FATAL QUARREL.
One Man Struck Over The Head With a
Club am! Will Probably
D'O.
Word reached this city late Wednesday evening of a fatal quarrel between •John Linkenhoker, of Ladoga, and Joiiios Starks at the hatter's farm south of Ladoga. Linkenhoker and a man named Dodd had bought a lot of timber of Stark's. On Wednesday morning the men were out in the woods when Starks came up. It seems the two men were in the act of cutting a tree, over which there was dispute. Starks claimed it was not included in number sold, whereat him and Dodd had some bitter words. Linkenhoker finally took part by calling Starks a d— s— of a b. Starks resented the provoke by picking up a club and etrieking Linkenhoker a terrible blow over the sido of tho head. The blow rendered the man unconscious, fi om which he had not rallied at an early hour Thursday morning. At that tiino he was lying in a comatose condition with little hope of his recovery.
Both parties to tho affair are known as being rather quarrelsome, Starks is the individual who became notorious a few years ago over the Clark township school house flag, in hich Miss Conner, t.he teacher, figured as the heriono. Starks is not considered overly bright, as he had a runaway three years ago, in which ha received injuries about tho head from which ho has never fully recovered.
At last report Starks had not beon arrested. He is under bond, however.
