Cowan Assaulted by Scott and Henry Jordon, Two of His Pupils. Anna, Ill, Jan. 21.—News has reached this city ofthe attempted murder of E. C. Cowan by Scott and Henry Jordan, aged 21 and 18 re- spectively, at Mill Creek, about six miles southwest of here. Cowan is employed teaching a schoo! about two miles west of Mill Creek, and the young men were formerly his pupils. Last week they went to the school and created a disturbance on the outside. The teacher made them go into the house. ‘Vhis vexed them, but no immediate trouble re sulted. A few evenings afterwards as Cowan was going home from eburch in company with two friends, Scott Jordan slipped up behind him and struck him on the head with a club, and the other Jordan tried to strike him. Cowan fell to the ground unconscious. He was picked up with blood streaming from his nose and mouth He was removed to his boarding house, where he regained consciousness, and will probably re- cover. The Jordans were givena preliminary hearing and their bonds were placed at $1,000 each, in de fault of which they were sent to jail at Jonesboro, charged with an as sault with intentto murder. They had threatened to take Cowan’s life, and evidently intended to carry out the threat. Veterans ot Pensions, Encampment No. 1 of the Union Veteran Legion of Pennsylvania is composed of genuine old soldiers— the sort that heard bullets whistle and shells howl. These men have adopted resolu tions denouneing the pension act of 1890 as one unjust to the govern. ment and devised to pad the pension rolls with undeserving names. Moreover, thsy have struck at the very root of the pension fraud by denouncing all “special pension” act of congress. Every special pension bill is a bill to give a pension to somebody whose claim has been rejected as un worthy by the Pension Bureau under laws more than liberal. A president mindful of his duty would veto every one of them, each as av obvious wrong to the taxpay ers and an insult to the old soldiers —New York World. Fraudulent Bankiag- Omaha, Neb, Jan. 21.—Frank B. Johnson, as ‘managing agent,” and W. H. Johnson, cashier of the de- funct Midland State Bank, were arrested this afternoon on a charge of fraudulent banking. A warrant is out for the arrest of C. A. Sharp, president of the bank, charging him with the same offense. The specific charge is that deposits were solicited and accepted by the accused after they knew the bank was insolvent The bank failed in 1896.
