The other Injured are Jesse Sidebotham, Franklin, ' Charles Bat telle, Gerald Johnson and Harry James. All are residents of Hancock, Krueger, who la a wealthy retired farmer, la usually peaceable man, but la Inclined to be quarrelsome when drinking. A few days ago he went to Avoca and brought home a jug of whlalty. His wife, fearing trouble, got It away from him and locked It up In a closet. This afternoon Krueger demanded possession of the Jug, which his wire refused and he threatened to kill her and started to put his threat Into execu tion. The woman ran from the house be fore Krueger could procure and load hla gun. A block up the street she met Dr. Stephens and appealed to him for help. Stephen, thinking to quiet Krueger and secure the gun, went to the Krueger home and asked him to give up the gun, but Instead of complying Krueger fired several shirs a-t Stephen before he could get out of range. Two of the shots took effect, one In the shoulder and the other In the thigh.' While not fatal the wounds are of a dangerous character. ' The little town was by this time thor. oughly aroused and neighbors, armed with guns, flocked to the scene and A shotgun duel" Immediately ensued. Tt was In this fusillade that the others ' were Injured'. Finally the attacking party procured a targe section of sheet metal and, with this as a shield, advanced on the Krueger house and demanded that the occupant surrender. After some further parley and the exchange of some more shots Krueger complied. It will then discovered that Krueger had been dangerously and probably fatally wounded. One load of shot atruck him In the chest In the neighborhood of the heart, another one In the thigh and there were scattering ahot wounda on almost every portion of hla body. The people of Hancock were ao Incensed over the affair It was deemed advisable la ii Assisted by Cuticura Ointment, the great Skin Cure, for preserving, fiurifying, and beautifying the skin, or cleansing the scalp of crusts, scales, and dandruff, and the stop ping of falling hair, for softening, whitening, and soothing red, rough, and sore hands, for baby rashes, itchings, and chafings, in the form of baths for annoying irritations and inflammations, or undue per splration, in the form of washes for ulcerative weaknesses, and for many sanative, antiseptic purposes which readily suggest themselves, as well as for all the purposes of the toilet, bath, and nursery, .

IN LAIR OF TRUSTS (Continued from First Page) stroyed the democratic party, there ought to be dozens of able republicans who would be available aa a candidate, oa It would appear that almost any n ubllcan could win with the democratic party wiped out. There would then' be no necessity of giv ing President Roosevelt what would be re garded by many as practically a third term. With such an easy victory for the repub licans ahead, why, he asked, should not somebody else be given a chance? "Jim Crow" Laws. When asked what he thought of the criticism by democrats of his Idea - of federal ownership of railroada, Mr. Bryan said that he never had advocated any thing that waa not opposed In some quar ters. He waa told that some of the south ern democrats seemed alarmed lest the "Jim Crow" cars should be eliminated by the adoption of his Ideas of fedora! ownership. Mr. Bryan, m reply to this, said that If the various states owned' the lines within their borders the local law would continue to be enforced. He waa asked If he meant that negroes and whltea would be separated ir the state had a Jim Crow" law, to which he re-, plied that the atate laws would naturally hold good on local lines. . He did not care at this time to discuss the details of how the plan would effect the carriage of whites and negroes on the through lines under federal control. He had noticed that ' one citizen, who did not give, hla name, waa very much worked up about the possible abolishment of the "Jim Crow" cars, but he never attempted to answer the arguments of men who did not give their name and that he hoped to talk In various parts of the country and deal with the aubject more com pletely than he could in conversation. Will Not Go to new Zealand. Mr. Bryan announced a change of plan regarding his proposed trip to New Zealand. "I think I shall not go," he said, "for I've been away from home a long time and It' feela good to get back. I , had In tended to go there after' the election, but have decided not to." William J. Bryan today .received from the American Anti-Trust league the follow ing letter, endorsing his speech of Thure- aay night at Madison Square Garden, espe cially that portion referring to a war on trusts and the government ownership of railroada : Hon. William Jennings Brvan: On be half of the American Anti-Trust league end expressing, as we firmly believe, the sentiments of the great majority of gorxl citisens who are opposed alike to the evils of monopolies and the dangers of socialism, we welcome you home and expreaa to you our gratification and appreciation for all of your great speech of Thursday night at Madison Square Garden, and more espe clall for your Invincible stand In favor of, not the regulation, but the deatructlon of the criminal trusts and for the govern ment ownership of railroada. We hold that the experience of all civ ilised nationa has fairly established the principle thst the maintenance of high ways Is one of the chief functions of gov ernment or of the few great attrlbutea of sovereignty of which no atate can divest Itself of without destroying that great prln. clple of equality ef rights which Is the very cornerstone of the American republic. We rejoice in your courage and are proud of the ability with which you are teaching the doctrines of JefTereonlan dernoeracy and the principles of the American Anti Trust league. We recognize your leader ship in America for the coming battle tor the achievement of the last and greatest rights of man. namely, the eoonomlo lib erty of all men and women.
