Eastertide Advertising.
It is not claiming too much in con-
fidently asserting that not only now
but for scores of years in the past, and
whereunto the memory of man run-
neth not to the contrary, the best and
most successful business firms, indivi-
duals and corporations, are and have
been constantly represented in the ad-
vertising columns of the NORWALK GA-
ZETTE. The easy explanation of this
fact is that they know how best to reach
the public. In other words, know how
nd where best to make their advertis- I
ing pay.l
Were there any question as to the
truth of. our claim, there are two classes
of advertisers constantly seeking our
columns and of which it may be unhes-
.it‘atingly asserted without fear of con-
tradiction that the GAZETTE enjoys a
monOpoly. Ve specially refer to Med-
icinal and Insurance advertisements.
No class of advertisers equal these in
sagacious, conservative and thoroughly
pains— taking selections of the best jOur-
nals of the country, in which to exploit

liolds good of the most wide-awake,

p‘e, firms and corporations.

. A Lively Time. .
At 2 o’clock yesterday morning
Mamie James, the 15-erar-Old mece Of
Mrs. Annie BrennaIi, of Bridgeport,
was awakened by being grasped by the
knee and was horr1fied to find a man
lying on the bed beside her. She
screamed and jumping from the: bed
ran to the kitchen ;:.,11~.ed a fire
shovel with which she struck the in-
truder over the head cutting his scalp
sever.er The man became enraged
and'was knocking the woman right and
left when William Waldhaus, a neigh-
bor, who heard the screaming of the
women, forced his way into the apart-
ments to assist her.
The noise attracted the attention of
the police and officer Glennon entered
and secured the stranger, but not be-
liULl‘
eye.
At the police station the intruder
proved to be James Riley, a resident of
the Fourth ward. He pleaded drunk-
enness in extenuation but was locked
up.
He was Very Drunk.
The attention of Captain Dann was
called to the condition of a man who
had fallen down a flight of stone steps
on Chapel street, Saturday night. The
Captain secured the assist-moo Of
Charles Adams and visited the place
where the man laid in the areaway, in
a: semi-conscious condition. Dr. Tracy
was summoned, who arrived at the con-
clusion that the man was suffering more
from intoxication than from other seri-
ous injury and the drunken man was
taken to the station house. A search
of his person resulted in the finding of
about $1.50 in money,a pint and a half
pint bottle of liquor, and some pocket
cutlery. This morning he appeared
before Justice ROse with several super-
:ficial wounds On his face and was fined
$2 and costs in default of which he was
sent to jail. He gave his name as John

The Jones-Locke Feud Bflnga About a Wax-I
Judith Chocfiaw Nation.
PALIS, Tex., April. 15. i—War has brOkcu
x lease in the eastern portlbn of the Choctaw,
nation. Ever- since the‘Jones-Locke- fond
of two years ago the doadliOSt enmity has
prevailed between parties of different po-
litical beliefs.
Last Monday Arnold Iscline was shot
down by some unknown party in his own
yard. He had always been an avowed
friend of Governor Jones. His assassina-
tion aroused the whole community, and
the Cooper boys, who had always been
Warm friends of Locke, were suspected of
the crime. Day before yesterday Solomon
Loanaker, Simpson Loanaker and three of
their friends lay in wait two miles north
of Eagleton, in the Choctaw nation, for
the Coopers. As the Coopers came up the
Loanakers opened fire from ambush with
winchesters. Their fire was returned, and
‘for 30 minutes a. deadly fuslllade prevailed.
The results were not known until yes-
terday morning, when Governor Gardner
of the Choctaw nation chanced to pass the
place and found Solomon Loanaker,
Thompson Loanaker, Cornelius Cooper
and Tom Ford’s dead bodies in the road,
within a few feet of each other, with their
Winchester-s in their hands. Near his dead
brother lay William Cooper, shot in a. dozen
places, but still alive and conscious. He
gave Governor Gardner a detailed state-
ment of the whole affair. The Loanakers
were instigated to the bloody work by
promise of money given by political friends.
The Coopers were very popular, and
their friends are furious over _the affair and
are on] the warpath, swearing vengeance
against the Loanakers and all their friends.
There will be more bloodshed.
