no baby farm.

eleven years old last March, weighs seventy
pounds and is little upward of four feet in
height. He murdered a little sister three
years old and was sent up for life. He was
asked his name and replied: ''Linvide Combs,
of Breathitt county" Sitting in a chair
twirling his straw hat in his hands, pushing
back and falling forward, with his feet bare
ly touching the ground. he looked innocent.

She fell over into the fire. but she was dead
already. pulled her ont of the fire and threw
her into the creek. Tinny Campbell found
her body in the creek, and I told her how |

The little boy was quite proud of his deed,
as well as ignorant of its consequences
In about a month he was arrested and
taken to Jackson, where he frankly related
the story to the court and jury and was SEN
fenced to the penitentiary for life.
When asked if he didn't know he would be
punished for his crime. he said: What's
that:" He was then asked if he didn't know
he did wrong in killing his sister and ought
to be hanged for it. He replied: No
just killed her. Samps Collins told me TO do
it" The boy was set to work Gaming chairs

RADIO. WantonIy Kills Three Men.


Ike Lambert, a we'll known white man,
after several weeks of heavy drink
ing, reached a conclusion to kill
a number of people in Mount
Pleasant neighborhood Monroe County,
Ala. He made out list of those he had
condemned to death, and arming him
self with Winchester rife, a shot
gun, and three revolvers started out
on horseback. He was crazy drunk,
but able to move. Near Dixie he met
a colOred man, William jackson, in the road,
and without word shot him dead in his
tracks. The first residence he came to was that
of L. d. HeStle, a wealthy citizen. Call
ing Mr.. Hestle, the later came out in his
shirt sleeves and said: How are you, IkeF'
For reply Lambert said: My business
here to-day is to kill you" With that
he fired his Winchester, shooting Mr..
Hestle through the heart. Pursuing his
way, he met a colored man, named
Casey in the road and killed him with a shot
from his pistol Pursuit was organized
by the people, and in half an hour they found
the murderer lying asleep in the roadway,
having fallen from MS horse. The guns and
pistols were lying by his side. He was put

A Street Scene.

At about 5 O'Clock yesterday afternoon
little scene took place in front of real
estate office opposite the Nadeau which
was very entertaining to the spectators.
A young man by the name of Herbert
was suddenly tackled by an old gentle
man, whose name was not ascertained,
with the words: "You would insult my
daughter, would your" The young man
attempted some sort of an explanation,
but the elder one would not listen
and raising his cane began to beat
young Herbert over the head and
shoulders. A crowd gathered instantly,
and the young man lodging his adver-
saly's blows, managed to slip away. The
old gentleman's honest wrath was plainly
visible in his flushed face and blazing
eyes. One Of the bystanders who claimed
to know, said that Herbert had merely
proposed to the old gentleman's daughter
that she should take buggy ride with
him, and that the old mans choleric dis
position had translated the proposition
into something much more serious.

passed upon him and he replied by ask
ing that the Court be as lenient with him
as was possible, as his mother was 20
wears of age and his wife and child de-
fsndant upon him for support. Judge
Gardiner said that in spite Of the fact
that the verdict was a lenient one he
would abate one year from the extreme
penalty and sentence him to nine years.
After the sentence Mrs. Wolff asked for
the pistol with which the deed had been
committed, and putting it in her satchel
left the room.

a GAS LEAK.

road Employees.
Monday evening the people who live
in the vicinity of the corner of Fort and
Second streets were much annoyed by q
smell of gas. 1t grew steadily more and
more offensive until at last it became
quite unbearable. Windows were shut
tight and every effort made to keep out
the smell, but some of the rooms in the
California Bank Building were 30 afflicted
as to be almost uninhabitable. Word
was sent to both gas companies
that the matter must be looked
into Immediately. Yesterday morning
men were sent by each company to find
out the leak. A considerable excavation
was made when an astonishing state OF
affairs was revealed. An immense piece,
two feet long, was found to have been
broken out of the main pipe of the Los
Angeles Gas Company and almost the
entire supply was escaping through the
earth. The cause of the breakage was
soon evident. An immense iron stake
had been driven directly through the
main. Where the Second-street cable
line crosses the Fort-street line one
of the gearings which support the cable
is situated. To anchor this in place
some employees of the car company had
driven large iron bar three feet into the
ground. 1t was formed Of section of a
car rail rharpened at one end. Around
this piece of cable had been twisted,
and the other end fastened to the gear
ing. The men who had been sent to do
the work evidently did not calculate on
consequences, but drove the stake in the
spot most convenient for their own pur-
poses.
The main is about three feet
under ground, and the earth
above it was loose enough to let the
gas work it's way through. The accident
might have been much more serious than
it was. Had the wind carried the gas in
to the open bedroom window of some
person too soundly asleep to be reused
by the odor it might have resulted in his
suffocation. Men were at work until late
yesterday evening repairing the break.
