The Gazette tells of the mysterious rob-
berry of 1921. O5 from the safe of Cain &
Whiteside, iverymen, at Morristown last
week The first intimation was telegram
to Mr.. Cain from the chief of police at
Lynchburg, Va, asking if he had lost any
money He thought not at first, and it was
not until letter was received by the town
marshal, making further inquiries, that the
safe, Halls combination lock, was opened
and the sum of S291.O5 found to be gone.
There was nothing wrong with the safe, and
none knew the combination except the two
partners.
Further developments proved that negro
had taken the train at Abingdon, Va, with
a large roll of money, which he failed to
account for This aroused the suspicious OF
the conductor, who turned him over to the
police at Lynchburg. The sum of 1926
was found on him, but who he is or how h
got the money is yet to be ascertained.

A Fraud and Blackmailer.

1t is our opinion, as well as the opinion of
good many others, that the mulatto woman
who is palming herself off as an escaped
Cuban slave in our midst, has remained
about long enough in Knoxville. unless it be
within the walls of the jail. That she is a
fraud and imposter cannot be doubted by
any intelligent person who will hear
her dish out her sensational yarns
about being kidnapped from this place, her
slave life in Cuba, and her romantic escape,
all OF which is false on its face She chooses
also to charge upon reputable and highly
respected citizen of our city the crime of
having stolen and sold her into slavery, a
charge which he is entirely free from, hay
ing never heard of such thing before.
She no doubt comes this dodge with view
to blackmail
We have information from reliable sources
that the woman has attempted similar
game at two or three different points recent
", and has been given but few hours to
get herself out of town. When she had
| been in Knoxville two or three days she
went to the express Office and called for a
package, which she claimed to have shipped
to herself before leaving Cuba, where she
was informed that it would reach Knox
vile three days after she did.
She practices this same trick also at every
place she stops, as we learn
We believe the city authorities would be
fully warranted in taking the matter in hand
and Kidding the community of the nuisance.

Death of Rev. +. VI. Tanning and Lady.

A correspondent writes, under date of
April 9, as follows to the cambridge Watch
man and Reporter:
Doubtless many of your readers will be
panied to hear of the death of Rev F. NJ.
Tanning, of Henderson county. He died
at his post, in active work of the ministry.
No man in the Holston Conference was any
better known than he. His death will be
deeply felt by everybody, and especially the
N. E. Church. His wife preceded him into
the better land about two weeks.
This sad dispensation of Providence will
bring grief to the hearts of the numerous
friends of the reverend gentleman in this
section. He was formerly presiding elder
of the Knoxville district, and was a Jealous
and devoted servant of his Master.
