KAMI EUGENE BRANNIGAN I N S T A N T L Y

K I L L E D BY HENRY CLARK.

Shooting Occurred Af te r the Two

Men Had Quarreled.—Clark Says

He Shot in Self Defense.—Murderer

Lodged in Canton Jai l .

Eugene Brannigan, of Harrisville, • -was killed Saturday morning by a

rifle shot through the head and Henry Clark of Kalurah is held for the grand jury on a charge of mur­der.

Brannigan was a contractor and jobber and was 42 years of age. He was a member of Oswegatchie Lodge, F. and A. M. and Harrisville Lodge, No. 821, I. O. O. F„ and had been a well known and respected resident of Harrisville for fifteen years.

Various stories have been circulated in regard to the shooting but as near as it can be learned it seems that Henry Clark, a widower, who resides about 40 rods from the C. & A, rail-

t road at Kalurah Crossing, went to Harrisville Saturday morning on his

W&[ railway motor, which he uses in pa­trolling the track, and a Mrs. Kelly,

« who resides near Clark, boarded a train and also went to Harrisville. Tney returned together, it is alleged, a t 11 a. m., and it is claimed that Clark was in an intoxicated condition when he returned, and that Mrs. Kelly told him to lie down and sober up and she would return in a short time and get his dinner.

In the meantime, it is claimed, Mr. Brannigan had driven from Har­risville to interview Clark in regard to hiring him to work for him in his lumber camp. Brannigan had to walk some distance from where he left his car to the Clark residence, and over­took Mrs. Kelly, who accompanied him to. the house, where they pro­ceeded to awaken Clark, who got up

, and was furious and after an argu­ment, Clark made a grab for Ms 30:30 rifle that hung on the wall, but was disarmed by Mrs. Kelly. Brannigan

» started back towards his auto which was about 40 rods from the Clark residence and nearly reached it, when Clark, as it is alleged, appeared with the gun and shot Mm, the ball enter­ing the skull at the left of the nose and passing out at the back of the bead, just back of the right ear.

Mr. Brannigan is survived by his wife, a daughter, Clara, a son, Wil­liam, his father, Daniel Brannigan, two brothers, Marvin and James Brannigan, and two sisters, Mrs. Hen­ry Walsman and Mrs. Cheater Potter of Carthago.

Funeral services were held Tuesday morning and thu remains were taken to Canton for interment. Services were conducted a t the grave by Oswe­gatchie Lodge, F. & A. M. and Har­risville Lodge, No. S21, I. O. O. F.

Clark was held to await the action of the grand jury and was taken to the county jail at Canton Monday by Deputy Sheriff Arthur Cummings of Gouverneur. Clark claims to have

, acted in self defense when he shot Brannigan.

District ' A-ttoWiey- J'drrrr cr'Cropse'r of Massena and Assistant District At­torney James C. Doian of Gouverneur went to Kalurah Tuesday to investigate the cause leading up to the shooting. The Kelley woman was questioned and her evidence will be used at the trial, which will probably be held at the September term of supreme court at Canton.

SPEAKS A T COURT HOUSE.

Lowvi l le Woman's Suffrage Club Hold

First Mass Meet ing—Mrs. M. A.

Phi l l ips Presides—Local Organiza­

t ion Makes Good Start.

The first mass meeting since the or­ganization of the Lowville Woman's Suffrage Club, was held in this vil­lage last Wednesday evening, July 23. The court house was well filled by a representative gathering of our townswomen, also a liberal sprinkling of men. The men present were most­ly married, and their features were expressive of the great confidence they had in their wives' ability to aid them in ruling the roost.

The meeting was opened by Mrs. MacGregor A. Phillips, president of the local club, who in brief words, in­troduced Miss Harriet Mills, president of the state organization, as the speaker of the evening.

Miss Mills was very kindly received when she rose to begin her address. Perhaps it would be well to describe her personality as an example of the class of women who are advocating woman franchise, and who are devot­ing their time and energies to the work.

Miss Mills, we assume, has as yet not become involved in any of the en­tanglements of matrimony, and is therefore free to follow any path she chooses. She is a woman who might be thirty-five, but looks only twenty-five. Nature has endowed her with very pleasing features, rippling hair, well molded shoulders and a finely poised head. In avoirdupois, she is just a, shade beyond; the slim figure so much in vogue at present. Alto­gether, she is a very attractive lady, in both manner and speech. She does not use much gesture, nor does she indulge in pyrotechnics. When she wishes to emphasize a point she does so by counting the fingers of her left hand with the index finger of the right. She wasted no time on prelim­inaries, but entered at once upon her argument.

She told of her travels throughout the land, and the inconveniences to be met with at the various hotels where she WAS obliged to stop, refer­ring particularly to the unsanitary condition o£ the wash-bowls and pitchers.

She spoke of Lowville as being a

Smith, of Oneonta, Grand Master of Masons of the State of New York and start of officers Tues­day at dinner a t the home of his father, S. Brown Richardson, on Dayan street.

The day was the biggest .day for the Masonic frater­nity that Watertown has seen since the annual conclave of the grand commandery several years ago. Hun­dreds of Masons from all over North­ern New York were in attendance. The ceremonies took place shortly af­ter 2 o'clock. The various orders of the Masonic fraternity went in pos­session of the site when the stone was laid. Millard V. Hamblin, chair­man of the general committee and Master of Watertown Lodge was Master Builder. Grand Master Smith presided. Among those asked to take part in the program were S. Brown Richardson, a former district deputy and Harold J. Richardson, district deputy, of Lowville. ,

Saturday lat/t, the Committee of Nine, consisting of three physicians, three supervisors and three citizens, appointed by the board of supervisors to investigate the tuberculosis, ques­tion iii • Lewis county, met at the court' house and arranged to en­gage Miss Mary McKechnie, a trained, nurse of considerable experiepce aifd exceptional qualifications, as Visiting Nurse for Lewis county for a period of three months at a salary of flOO per month, as authorized by the board of. supervisors. Miss McKechnie is expected to -begin work as soon as possible on- her arrival from New York City, and will make a thorough Inves­tigation of the tuberculosis situation in this county, compiling facts for a monthly report to the committee, so that when the board of supervisors meet in the fall the committee will be able to determine what recom­mendations to make in regard to the establishment of a tuberculosis hospi­tal for Lewis.county.

that the crowning evil still existed, which was smoke; dense clouds of smoke still hung like a pall over the cities, worse still in the city where she lived, it begrimed the l iving rooms and kitchens, and discolored the clap­boards of the buildings. It was thought she referred to Pittsburg, but Syracuse was the place. A committee there had been to see the mayor about a n d n l e a d su«ty. paying a fine of ^ o . this smoke which seems to have been T h p v 1 1 1 a g p w a s represented by Dis-a dark brown taffeta shade, and they ; t M C t Attorney P. G. Williams, wanted a lighter shade more in har­mony with the summer fashions.

From fashions she passed on to brains, stating that a man in Scotland had devoted a lifetime to proving that women's brains were lighter than men's; he had written several vol­umes on the subject also, yet when he died, and ins brain was taken out and weighed, it was tound to be light­er than the lightest woman's brain on record. This might have been expect­ed of a Scotchman.

She pointed out that the woman's suffrage movement was being con­ducted by a very superior class of women, many of whom were grad­uates of Vassar and other colleges; these institutions were declared to be hot-beds of "secession." The kitchen drudge as a rule did not appear to care much for the "cause" because she was ignorant, and for that rea­son prone to condemn things she knew nothing about. The kitchen drudge w-ould rise in t ime though, she felt sure, and when once enlightened, | put her shoulder to the wheel with j the learned. j

Miss Mills has a facile tongue and j excellent articulation. In these re- , spects she differs from some female \ orators now on the stump. If you I were to compare her qualifications , with those of a man, as a speaker, ! she would not be very far behind Mr. ; Bryan. So those who failed to hear [ her missed a treat :n speech-making.

The audience hung closely to her : words and when she finished exhibit- \ cd its appreciation by several rounds j of applause.

During campaigns this question is ;

always asked, and if it applies to j Miss Mills, would go like this, "What's j the matter with Harriet Mills?" 'She's all r ight!"

Before retiring, a white metal col­lection was taken, after which an in­vitation was extended to meet the speaker. All in all the affair was a credit to the Lowville Woman's Club and most of us would go a long ways to hear Miss Mills again.

v . — - ^ . Wate r town Cheese Market.

The Watertown cheese market was without change Saturday. The price' committee made the price 13 1-4 cents, the same as a week ago. Buy­ers paid, as a result, an eighth more for bot$:-large and small cheese. The-price was n'ot a t all satisfactory to salesmen^ because of the fact that they heard1 many mutterings the week before wOi,en they told the patrons of their faStbrie's' that there had been another Jshmip -in the market. The paying of'-more money by the inilK companies Operating stations in the localities where there are cheese fac­tories makes it ra ther discouraging for dairymen drawing their milk to the factories. They looked for a quar­ter or a cent more Saturday, but buy­ers, hung firmer to the %.th than the price reported by the committee. At -Gouverneur 13 lr2 cents was paid. Pas tures are exceedingly dry and cows are shrinking more than they have any time during the season. This adds to the conditions which make it discouraging for the patrons. Some farmers a re already beginning to feed their cows green oats.

From Lansing, Mich., by Auto. Mr. and Mrs. F. G. Burdick and Mr.

and Mrs. Ira Gallup returned Sunday evening from a most delightful trip to the Reo automobile factory at Lansing, Mich. Mr. Burdick purchas­ed a Reo touring car at the factory and is loud in his praise of the work­ing of his car on its first trip. The distance covered by motor was 397 miles without a hitch or skip of any kind. No oil or water was put in the car after it left the factory and the number of gallons of gasoline used was 26, making an average of 15 1-13 miles to a gallon of gasoline. The Reo company has one of the finest, equipped automobile plants in the country and is well worth the trip by any one interested in construction of an automobile.
