from the some paper of, Sep s, 1909,
the following:
.'As he lived, so he died-with his
gun in his hand. We are informed
by a gentleman direct from Boone 5
on the Missouri. that early in last
month Col. Daniel Boone rode TO a
deer lick, and seated himself within
n blind raised TO conceal him from
the game. That while sitting thus
concealed, with his old trusty rifle in
his hand, pointed toward the lick.

position, without struggle or mo-

breafhed out his life 50 gently. that
when he was found next day by his
friends. although stiff and cold, he
looked as if alive, with his gun 10

your family or yourself. Consumption,
Asthma, Pneumonia, Group, Hemorrh-

g5 Gov. hemper, OF Virginia, wants
Bob. Tarter. He (Kemper) has demand
him of Gov. Porter. Tarter has been in
jail in Rogersville for two years, charg-
ed with burning a barn. He has been
tried twice, the jury failing each time
to render verdict. At the last term Of
the circuit court the case was moved to
Sullivan. and Tuesday after the 4th
Monday in March set for the trail to be-
gin in that county. If the case is not
interfered with by this requisition from.
the Gocrnor of Virginia, Bob will have
his trial at Brownsville next week.
Gov. Kemper alleges that Tarter is a
citizen of Virginia-that he was cap
turcd and forcibly taken from that State
and unlawfully held as a prisoner in
Tennessee.
The facts in the case are about. these !:
The barn which was burned was near
the State line. Bob Tarter was suspect
ed as the incendiary. A party Of neigh
bors, headed by an officer crossed over
the line the night after the burning,
found Bob where they expected to find
him, arrested him and brought him to
Hawkins county, where he was examin-
ed before magistrate and committed
to Jail.
Perhaps all this is not in accordance
with the law, and perhaps the Governor
of Virginia has a right to demand him
from the authorities of Tennessee, and
that it il our duty to give him up. All
the papers in the case, as we understand,
have been referred to Judge Mckinney,
who has not as far as we know, had time
to look into the facts in the case. The
people living in the border counties
have not heretofore paid much atten-
tion to State lines in the arrests of per
sons charged with crime. If a Virgin
in criminal comes into Tennessee, the
officers Of that State follow him and
catch him if they can and if law
breaker from our State goes across the
line our officers go across after him.
This has been the custom for many
years No complaint has ever been
made that We know of. Certainly no
'indignity" was intended to be shown
to the commonwealth of Virginia by
the arrest two years ago of Bob Tarter;
but if Gov. Kemper wants Bob, we
think the best thing that can be done
with him is 10 express him through to
Richmond 10 the care Of that high off
Ger with the compliments of the Gov
ernor and the people of Tennessee
Bob has cost US enough already.
