*4'h l is is May Ist, but is as raw as uSy we had in March-. During the night rain started to fail and this! turned to snow, but it soon disape peared after daylight. During ail day today flurries of snow have fgU len and a stiff wind from the west; has sent a chill through any person that faced it. At times the snow hjuet fallen in such quantities as to almost blind a person and it has been a: veritable blizzard. It Is probable that most fruit Is not far along to suffer serious damage.,, A large touring automobile containing a man and his wife met a load ot hay in a very narrow road. The woman declared that the farmer must back out, but her husband contended: that she was unreasonable. “But you can’t back the automobile so far” she J said, “and I don’t intend to move fpr anybody. Besides he should seen us.” The husband pointed out that this was Impossible, owing to ajn abrupt turn in the road. “I don't care,” she Insisted, “I won’t move K I have to stay here all night.” husband was starting to argue tljematter, w.ien the farmer, who had been siting quietly on the hay, intejM rupted: “Never mind, sir!” he ex-’ claimed, with a sigh, 'Til try to out. I’ve got one just like her fthome.” fi n ... ■■ .. ~m i. i You cEin’t always tell, says an e::-j change, what will happen. For instance, there is a story of a man’ who was determined to, commit su clde. He went to the store and, bought a rope, a can of oil, a box pi matches, a dose of arsenic and al revolver. He went down to the riv< r and pushed the boat from the shoe' and waded to where a limb hungj over, saturated his clothing wii h. coal oil, lighted a match and set file to his clothing, took a dose of arseni v put the muzzle of the revolver to his ! temple, pushed the boat from und«r him and pulled the trigger. But tt e bullet glanced and cut the rope above him, and he fell, kerflop, into' the river; the water put out the fire and he got strangled and coughed up the arsenic. He arose and waded out and declared himself a candidate for the legislature. . Chris Wuerthner Is taking his confinement at the county jail quite hard. He has always been a very active man and lived In the open a great deal. He was a good farmer and kept things on his place as tidy as any farm ip the county. He also took daily baths, and it is said was in the habit of cutting holes in the ice and taking a plunge during the cold winter months. He has taken two or three baths since he has been confined at the jail, and today asked that clear clothes be brought to him. He wrote a letter to Governor Marshall Thursday, asking that W. S. Parks, Oliver Robinson, Ed Duvall and S. C. Irwin be placed in solitary confinement twice as long as he had been. He stated that he was a church loving and home loving man and that he was being persecuted, and asked the governor to secure his immediate re lease, and the execution of his requests. He has labored under the impression that he is to be delegated by the Lord to behead the unrighteous and that the Lord will appear and give him a sabre with which to begin his executions.. His case is a very pitiful one, for he has always lived an Ideal moral life, but there can be no doubt of his Insanity and it is apt to take a dangerous trend at any time. MONDAY.
