AN EX-SLAvE SUIT,
The Story of His Flight from His Master
and the Loss OF His Fathers Estate.

The Story of His Flight from His Maste,
and the Loss OF His Fathers Estate.
BUFFALO, March IA story will bs
told in the Superior Court on March 30
which for thrilling interest will surpass
that Of any suit at law which has been
tried for years Alfred M. Thomas, the
central figure in the ease, is powerful
| ly built, distinguished looking man of
color, whose age ia probably SO years
1t is stated-that in his younger days
| Thomas was looked upon as hsredit-
airy king among his people, inheritin g
directly from African ancestors. He
was regarded with something akin to
fear in the days of his slavery, and this
feeling extended to his owners. He is
now living in twO-story brick heuse
on Bundy street, which he owns. The
estate to which he lays claim includes
several other pieces of property ia that
locality, amounting in all to hetwoen
$4,000 and $4,000 in value. There are
several pieces of real estate, and it will
be neces sary to go over the whole his
tory of the case in court In order to ar
rive at clear understanding OF its ,nor-
its.
THIRTY-FIvE YEARS AGO
Thomas was working on plantation Of
the Shrewsbury family near Charleston,
West Virginia. He had little cabin
and wife and child, all owned by the
man who had the legal rights to call
him slave.
Passing into possession of Daniel II.
Kline, he made an arrangement with
his owner whereby he was to purchase
his own freedom by working extra hours
for others than his own master. He had
nearly paid for himself when Kline sold
him to a man named Hiekland and
wrote letter to Charleston which
Thomas was instructed to deliver ia that
city. lie started little dreaming OF the
contents of the letter. To reach the
town, it was necessary for him to pass
the cabin where his wife was. Some
how the latters suspicious were aroused.
The letter was
SKILLFULLY OPENED AND READ.
It cor tanned instructions to the sheriff
Of Kanawha county, John Slack, to sieze
Thomas and lock him up. Deciding at
once to fly. and fearing that he would
be intercepted by telegraph, he climbed
a pole, cut the wire, but did not allow
the ends to drop, He fkillfully fastened
the ends together, the circuit being in
tsrrupted, and replaced the wire in its
original place. So successfully was 1t
done that that the repairers never fully
restored connection and the wiro was
abandoned. He fnally reached Canada
and when the war begun became SOL
der. His father who had married a
second wife lived in Buffalo until his
death. He came to Buffalo where he
found his father who had married again.
The young man enlisted in the war and
when emancipation was proclaimed,
brought his family to this city. He had
been set up in business, his father prom
Using to make him his heir. Young Al
bert was sent to school, graduated from
Fisk University, and then from Yale
College Law School, now practising in
this city. His stepmother sold houses
and appropriated moneys without wait
ing for the rightful heir to return. That
was four years ago. The real heir now
sues to recover the property.

" THE OLD SLAVE BELL"

The Liberty bell," so often apos-
trophized by orators, has its antithe.
sis in the Louisiana exhibit in the
government building. This is the
old" Slave bell" that for many years
called to work the $50 slaves on the
Fontainebleau sugar plantation.
This plantation was one of those
princely domains Of the earlier plan
ters OF louisiana. Itfronted OH Lake
Ponchartrain, having a frontage OF
nine miles.
The bell was cast in 1926, and ira
dition says Mr.. Marigny, standing
over the large caldron filed with
molten metal, dropped therein one
thousand Spanish silver dollars to
give the bell clear and siIvery tone.
One striking point of resemblance
between the "Slave bell" and the
Liberty bell is the fact that each has
assure in the side. Concerning
the assure in the slave bell a pretty
legend is related. The bell stood in
the centre of the plantation, and was
pealed to summon the force ofslaves
to and from their work. Early in
the morning its changing reused the
tenants OF the quarters to their daily
tasks. At the sound of the evening
peal the army of blacks, worn with
their days labor, came trooping back
to their cabins. A right welcome
sound it was to those dusky toilers,
and it is a tradition cherished By
these former slaves, that Oh the
the morning when Lincoln proclaim
ed emancipation the bell fell from
its lofty pedestal and rent that fis-
sure in its side which now silences
it.-Neso Orleans Time. Democrat.

THE BEAR AND THE SAW.

"Talking about funny things

the reading-room of a New York
Hotel the other night, " the funniest
thing l ever heard of happened in
my saw mill out in Michigan. We
used heavy upright saw for saw.
ing heavy timber. One day not
long ago the men had all gone to
dinner, leaving the saw, which ran
by water-power, running at full
speed. While we we're away big
black bear came into the mill and
went nosing around. The. saw
caught his fur and twitched him a
little. Bruin didnt like this for a
cent, so he turned around and
fetched the saw a lick with his paw.
Result: a badly cut paw, a blow with
the other paw followed, and it was
also cut. The bear was by this time
aroused to perfect fury, and rushing
at the saw, caught it in his grasp
and gave a tremendous hing. 1t was
his last hug and we lived on bear
steaks for week. When we came
up from dinner there was half a
bear on each side Of the saw, which
was going ahead as nicely as though
it had never seen bear.n

Three words az with golden pen,
In tracines of eternal light
Upon the hearts of men.

And gladness hides her face in scorn,

No night but hath its morn.

The inhabitants Of earth

The Reputation Of a tandard Article

Is seldom injured by surreptltious rivalry.
ImitatOrs Of HOstetter's Stomach Bitters have
not only lost money by attempting under
hand competition with It, but have actually
contributed to enhance the estimation in
which the genuine medicine is held. The
public at large has for many years been ac-
quainted with the ear marks that distinguish
the real from the spurious, and cannot be per-
suaded that other articles sold in somewhat
similar guise are equally good. Fever and
ague, constipation. dyspepsia, and liver COM
plant are not durable by cheap local bitters,
eye openers and tonics, but the fact In too well
proven and too generally known TO admit OF
conscientious dispute, that for those and other
maladies the great household medicine q
safe and thorough remedy. Not only in the
United States, but In Mexico, South America
and the West Indies, Its merits are widely re-
cognized and Its reputation too firmly estab-
lished to be shaken.
