Armenius P. Culley
The Kearney Hub. the leading re
publican paper of this senatorial dis
trict. contains the following severe
criticism of the action of A. P. Culley
in filing as an independent candidate
for state senator after being defeated
by Mr. C. A. Clark of Kavenua. for
the regular republican nomination in
the August primary election. The j
Hub says:
"Th • Kearney Times is greatly ei-!
erased '.est Mr. Culley-s coining out
as a “wet" candidate for the senate
bv petition should “put an awful
stain upon the republican patty."
That party does not. however, accept
responsibility for the actions of Mr.
Culley in leaving it and coming out
as a Ifehlmanite and we can only
regret that having entered the con
test as a republican before the pri
mary and tlaving filed with the
secretary of state his declaration and
solemn uatu to abide by the result of
the primary he should so far forget
the legal and moral obligation of an
oath, that having been defeated in a
fair contest for the nomination be
should immediately try to creep in
by the back door. He undoubtedly
relieves the republican party of a
burden by this move.
There are reports of many good
men turnjpg from Dablmanism to
decency, but Mr. Culley is reversing
i the process with a vengeance.'’
Loses One Eye
The distressing news comes to us
that last Friday at Durango. Colo.,
where she and her husband were
visiting with their daughter. Mrs.
John Zink. Mrs. Albert Dickerson of
Litchfield, this county, had tier left
eye shot out and her right eye nearly
so. It is ascertained that she was
passing a shooting gallery, when a
bullet tired pierced a two-inch plank
and an inch biiard. and then struck
Mrs. Dickerson about an inch below
the right eye. going through the nose
and lodging in tlie lower edge of the
left e>e. destroying the sight, but
the sight of the right eye may i>ossi
bly l)e saved. Mrs. Dickerson is an
aged woman, in her seventies, and
with her aged husband had so ai
ranged their business affair* that
they intended W travel lor some

Arm Amputated
Word tta.5 received here Monday
that Mr. Joe Vaughn had suffered
the amputation of his left arm.
caused from an accident he received
here some time since. About six
weeks since. Mr. Vaughn, accom
panied by Miss Gertrude Lundy, were
driving 'along the vailey road north
of town, when they heard a cry for
help and Mr. Vaughn 1 listened hack
a few yards, where he found that Vic
Venier. who with hi> mother, was
driving the F. F. Foster team, on?
of the horses being blind, had driven
off a culvert Bridge, both horses being
down, the mother thrown between
the horses, and Mr. Venier very much
frightened trying to right matters.
In aiding them Mr. Vaughn in some
manner injured his left arm. For a
couple of days he went about his
territory, when his arm became so
painfj! he was compelled to lav off.
Instead of getting better, the arm
continued worse, until tin&ily he
went to the hospital at Grand Island,
where the injury was found to have
culminated in tuberculosis of the
bones of the arm and the amputation
of the arm half way between the
shoulder and elbow was necessitated.
Mr. Vaughn is well known here and
over the adjoining territory, and his
terrible affliction will cause the deep
est sympathy of ail. It is the irony
of fate that tl.e accident which has
caused Mr. Vaughn the loss of his
arm and untold suffering for the past
six weeks, to say nothing of the hun
dreds of dollars of costs, allowed Mr.
Venier to escape without injury to
himself, his mother or the team, and
with only 50cents of expense.
Wanted to Cut and Carve
ijuite a little excitement was oc
casioned at Jung's restaurant last
Thursday, when a fellow from Ken
tucky attempted to carve a colored
man at the supper table, w hen the
"Funnel from Kaintuck" wanted to
' carve the coon." because the latter
was eating at the same table, which
the Kentuckian objected to as not
the way the allowed It "down thar,
sail!" it seems that a young man
named Summers had lately arrived
from the blue grass country and was
working around here. A colored man,
engaged at the suitatorium in this
city, is also a boarder at the restau
rant where the blue grass man also
spread hi» feet under the same table.
The colored man sat down to the
same table, when Kentucky ordered
him to get out instanter, to which
the fifteenth amendment demurred..
Blue grass then went to his jacket
and took therefrom a murderous dirk
knife, which he proposed to help him
eject the dusky-hued gent from his
comfortable occupation. The colored
man. with eyes bulging, grabbed a
butcher knife and edged around the
table to the kitchen door, from which
he flew the coop. A warrant was
later issued for the Kentuckian, w ho
getting a tip from a friend left for
other parts, and later the colored
man reguested the complaint with
drawn. provided the obstreporous
"Southern gen'man" stayed away.
However, the complaint is good for
eighteen months, during which time
absence will make the colored man
feel safer and perhaps also save the
absent one from hoarding out con
siderable time under durance vile.

their findings other than tliat fact.
The evidence adduced was as follows:
Mr. Kooknau had been down to
Hazard from his home at Westerville
j on business, and was intending to
take a slow freight home passing
through Hazard that morning at
?:3o. when it was due. The fast
freight was just ahead of the way
freight, and it is supposed Mr. Book
nau thought it was the train he in
tended to take and which was to
stop there. He asked the agent if
tLe train would stop, meaning the
way freight, and the agent, supposing
I he liad reference to the fast train,
replied tliat it would not. whereupon
before the agent could stop him. he
said he would jump on the moving
train and made a run for it. He at
tempted Co climb on when he w&
thrown with his legs under the
wheels, severing his right leg above
tlie kn#e and his left leg just below
the knee. Witnesses saw him cling
ing to the car and his limits swing
around where the shreds, of his legs
caught on the oil box of the wheels,
and he was torn loose from hi- hold,
swinging his body neath the wheels,
severing the head, crushing the upper
part of the head also, severed his
right arm near the shoulder, and left
tne horribly mutilated body along
the track. It was said to‘be the
most frightfully mutilated itody ever
to be w itnessed. The body was taken
to the home at Westerville, where :
the funeral was held Tuesday. De
ceased was a man of some 62 years, a
bachelor, worth about $15,000,000, and
leaves only some half brothers and
sisters as relatives.
