Sad Accident.

LOUISVILLE, June lS.-A.very sad ae-
cident occurred here last night. AS
the east bound freight train was COM
ing into the station Mr.. Phelps, the
conductor, started to go forward over
the train, andaccidentally fell between
the cars. About ten cars of the train
passed over him, cutting off both legs
and one arm, and otherwise injuring
him so that he died in u few minutes.
After reaching this place the railroad
officials did all in their power for the
sufferer, but it was impossible to save
his life. No blame is attached to any
one.

SAM HOUSTON.

Especial Correspondence Chicago Times
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Aug, l2.-The true
story Of Sam Houston's resignation Of the
govern orship OF this state and his joining
the Cherokee Indians in Arkansas, has
never yet been published, and when l
heard 1t n few days since from the lips OF
grey-haired resident OF this city who
had been the warm personal friend OF the
hero of San Jacinto, / made mental note
of it for the benefit OF tho Times readers
"You SEQ" said the old gentleman re-
ferred to, "Houston and l were employed
in q store together at Kingston, east Tenn
essee, when we were boys. That WAS
about 1912. The men year he enlis,ad as
private in the army and marched off to
the Creek war. He WAS soon made an
ensign, and was the first to scale tho
works at the battle OF tho Horseshoe,
where he was shot twice in the right arm.
"Ho came home and finally got we'll
and was appointed suo-agent 10 the
Cherokee Indians, but no soon got into
n quarrel with Calhoun, then secretary
Of war, and was removed. Then he
came to Nashville In 1918. lie began
| to study law With Judge Ttimble, and
in six months time was admitted to The
| bar. At the frat session OF the leslsla-
ture, after this he was elected attorney
general OF tho state, over francis Is.
Fogg, who WAS ono of the most
prominent and scholorly lawyers In the
| state.
"He was then sent to congress, where
no was q warm Jackson man, and while
there had difficulty with John L. Irwin
and when they both came back to Nash
VILE, Irwin challenged him, sending his
challenge by noted desperate Of st,
Louis who had killed several men. Ho was
not considered gentleman, and Hous-
ton wouldn't take a challenge through
him. Gen. White heard Of this and
made some remarks about Houston,
which lead 10 duel between Houston
and White, in which White was seri-
ously wounded.
"This added to tho popularity of Hous-
ton, and he was elected governor OF the
state in 1927. He had succeeded Gov.
Carroll, who was very popular man, and
who was spoken of prominently as can
didata for reelection. Houston was
afraid of him, and in order to secure bis
own reelection to congress in case Car
roll beat him tor governor, began to
strengthen himself politically, and in or

thsl we are right about this and not mis-

The BULLETIN, and not Capt. Kelly,

We again assert that Capt. Kelly
wrote the resolution, and that The Sun
is stupid to attempt to cast upon us
the charge of forging it. When
Capt. Kelly read his resolution IN the
convention, he read in tone so low we
could not hear him, and probably The

DID HE 2

A few days ogo The BULLTIN said,
that Capt Ike Kelly, offered, in the
Clements convention, the following
resolution:
Resolved, That wo are in favor Of hon.
est and practical reform OF all the abuses
by our public officers, and we favor plan
of amending our State constitution and
reducing the number OF officers and all
other excessive expenses.
The Sun says;
The BULLTIS in referring to " An OPP
portunity," says that Capt. /. M. Kelly, OF
Du Quoin, on Thursday last, asked the
Republican Convection ito resolve that
the Republican party of this Congress-
ioual district 10 in favor of lesseniDg the
number of Republican officCrs and lai ping
off excessive expenses" AMI that tho con-
yention laid tho motion on the table
Now il is hard to believe that The Bull
LETIs would be 30 unfair ~ to misrepre-
ssnt inten tionally this matter but we were
present, and We maintain that Capt. Kelly
offered no such resolution, AT least we
did not hear il, and after the Convention
was over tho Captain gave US the slip Of
paper on which was written another reso'
luton, which was read, and which was
laid on tho table, but the resolution THE
BULLETIN refers to WAS not written out In
tho paper Mr.. Kelly gave US. 1t was

ANDERsoN,s FREE CAR BRIRE

lrIOm Tue DtntOu Clhhuuius
There 10 q report which IL gaining some
thing Of a circulation, that Gen. An ierson
offered the farmer delegates of this county
q free car from McLeansborc to Carmi,
the place where the congressional conven.
tion was held. This report, we suppose,
got into circulation from some statements
that were made by the friends OF Ander-
son In the convention held here on the
26th ult- TO appoint delegates to the Carmi
convention.
We deem it but justice TO Gen. Ander-
son 20 say, in view OF the fact that tho
proceedings ofsuch convention were first
published il tho Standard, that wo have
IL from what we consider q reliable source,
that Anderson did not offer fRuE car TO
the delegates from thii county, but mere
ly sent information tn VI the deleg gates from
jefferson county TO the Carmi convention
had chartered q special train to take them
~ reduced rates and, that II the delegates
from this county woulS meet that special
| train at McLeansboro, they could DO car
ried TO Carmi and back cheaper than TO
ride en::he regular trains. TIE report, IL
such IS the true statement, grew out oil q
Misunderstanding in tie convention here,
no doubt.
REMARKs.-THE BULLETIN made
the charge that Gen. Anderson had fur
nished free cars, to and from his Carlni
convention, to the delegates Of Frank.
lin county. We made the charge upon
the authority Of what appeared to US tc
be an official report Of the proceeding;
Of the Farmers convention Of Frank
lin, called to appoint delegates to the
Carmi convention, published in TIT
Benton Standard. One Of the mem
bers Of that convention, in his place
stated that he had been authorized t,
say that Gen. Anderson had procure,
car for The use Of the delegates, VIII
would be taken to Carmi aud returned
without payment Of any fare.
But now comes The Standard anC
says Gen. Anderson did not offer 6
free car to the Franklin county dele
gates, but merely sent information tina
the Jefferson county delegates ha'
chartered a special train" We hav
also received a private letter from
friend assuring US that this is thu
fact.
We have made this statement in JUS
tice to Gen. Anderson. The evidenc
thus far heard, acquits the General o
the charge Of free car bribery, but "
would like to know something about tn
contract for the special train. Didn
the General, who is one Of the In
dependent Keformers who believe til
