Application of Lida Haigh and Luther IK.' Tresoott, alleging -insafSity K>f Mary A. Haigh. Congressman Crumpacker spoke to a fair sized audience at the Ellis opera house Monday night, but he did not change a single vote to his way of thinking. Two years ago the present tariff law was the best ever; now rates ought to be .lower, but it should only be revised by its friends through the recoinmemdations of a committee of its friends. But, then, “Crump” is making his last struggle and he will be laid away with other relics of standpatism in a few weeks now. Prof. Christie of Purdue will be here Thursday and r riday as an instructor in the county teachers’ institute. He will lecture Thursday evening on the subject of “Better Country Life Through Better School.” His work in the institute will be along the lines of agriculture in the public schools. Since there is a great interest being manifested at present in this line of work everyone interested should turn out to hear the professor. The lectures are free. George Martin of Newland was arrested a few days ago on a warrant sworn out by Wm. Postil, charging 'him with assault and attempt to kill his wife last Thursday night, when cries of murder aroused the peaceful denizens of Newland about 7:30 o’clock to the fact that something was doing. Asa result of family row and perhaps too much booze, Martin was found choking his wife, her body lying over the window sill of an upstairs window. Everybody hurried to the rescue, but Bill was first on the job and the woman was taken from the grasp of her husband in an almost condition. It is said Martin had heretofore threatened her with death, and he also made threats against Postil after the rescue, and the lattre had the warrant sworn ou for his arrest. Examination was waived and Squire Irwin bound Martin over to the circuit court under S3OO bonds to answer the charge. L. H. Hamilton went on the bond.
