The advice of Master Aaron Jones in his annual address before tbe Indiana grange to the farmers of this region to give more attention to their apple orchards, is timely. The dilapidated condition of old orchards throughout this section of the state and the noticeable lack of new orchards coming on, tells plainly the story of negligence In this most important feature of agriculture. The suffering because of a lack of coal In New York has become so severe that it is said the municipal authoriries will have to take some action to relieve the situation; and yet there are reports of hundreds of cars of coal standing on the side tracks of. railroads leading into that city.

When he did not return in the afternoon the family became alarmed and went .to the timber on his farm where they found him dead. He had broken a twig on the limb of a falling tree and arranged it so that by getting on Iiis knees and placing the gun against his breast he could make the point of the broken twig pull the trigger.

QUESTIONS BYDURBIN

Seem to Indicate That Sheriff Dudley Has Not Satisfied the Executive. WHY A DAMAGE SUIT WAS A LOSES Tied Himself to a Cow and Died Nitro-Glj cerine and a Train Miss Connections. Indianapolis, Dec. 12. That the governor will refuse to reinstate John S. Dudley as sheriff of Sullivan county, is believed by those who heard the governor's questions at the bearing yesterdaj. He took a hand frequently, and asked questions that indicate his belief that the sheriff did not do all he could, even without shooting, to save James Dillard, the negro taken from him and lynched on the charge of assaulting two white women. Incidentally, evidence has been introduced tending strongly to the conclusion that the mob lynched the man who committed the assaults. Real Mob Numbered a Scare. W. It. Nesbitt, editor of the Sullivan Union, witness for the state, thought between fifteen and twenty-five persons were actually in charge of the negro as he was taken down the street, and that a mob of 150 was following along, many being school children, of whom Xesbitt's boy and girl were two. He was Informed the leaders of the mob were relatives of Mrs. Lemon. J. T. Watson, constable and a witness for the state, testified that he went to the deputy prosecuting attorney, Mr. Douthitt, about noon of the day the negro was returned and told him that there were signs of mob danger, but that Douthitt told him the negro would not be returned that day. Jait Made the Hope Easier. In the cross-examination Wednesday afternoon of Edward Sparrow, tbe Sullivan tailor that went with the mob to the lyrohing of James Dillard, Attorney General W. L. Taylor got Sparrow to admit that' he adjusted the rope around Dillard's neck, but Sparrow testified that the adjustment consisted of loosening it so that the negro could confess. Taylor Would Have "Waded In." Attorney General Taylor took oc

STSHaS

3 casion to lecture the deputy prosecuting attorney on his duties, criticising him severely for not wading in to help save the negro. Douthitt said be would like to know what the attorney general would have done had he been there. The attorney general said: "I'd have waded in and stayed with the mob, and tried to save the man so long as 1 had strength." CONTRIBUTORY NEGLIGENCE Probably Prevented the Widow of the Alan from Mulching the Railway Company. Indianapolis, Dec. 12. The suit of Theresa Hernia n against the Tig Four llailroad company for $10,000 damages for the death of her husband. Valentine Herman, has been dismissed by Judge Leathers. Herman lived in tbe northeast cud of town. He was leading his cow home a year ago by a rope, one ena of which he had tied around his body. He and the cow were on opposite sides of the track, with tbe rope taut when a train dashed by. He was jerked under tbe wheels, and died without regaining consciousness. Iart of the, severed rope was found tied about his body and the other part fastened to the cow. The only witness to the accident was the engineer. On the ground of contributory negligence, Judge Leathers dismissed the case. Cannot Date a New Jadge. Indianapolis, Dec, 12. W. V. Rooker, attorney for the complainant in the case of David A. Jennings against thirty prominent residents of Salem, Ind., for $200,000 damages, at the resumption of the trial Wednesday, protested in writing against Judge John II. Baker continuing on the bench. He set out that the "Honorable John H. Baker, heretofore presiding as judge f the trial of this cause, is and since the 8th day of December, A. D., 1902. has been without judicial power.'.The protest was denied. They Know It If "Hobo's Nest." Newcastle, Ind., Dec. 12. Cold weather has brought many tramps to Newcastle, and they are becoming more impudent every day. Instead of a greeting from a stone pile, they are provided with cozy quarters in the basement of the court house, which Is now known far and wide among tramps as "nobo's Nest" The quarters contain bunks and a stove, and every night more than a dozen tramps are sheltered there.
