How Brave Sheriff Greenlee Went to
His Death

How Brave Sheriff Greenlee Went to
His Death
KNOXVILLE, April 4,1Seven hun
dred people attended the funeral of
the late High Sheriff of Granger
county, at Rutledge, the county seat,
this morning He was very popular
as a citizen and officer. 1t turns out
that he was the victim of a conspiracy
which for base cowardice heads the
list of atrocious murders. The Amer
ican,s correspondent visited the little
town far up in the Clinch Mountains
to-day and gathered the details Of the
crime. The base eonspirator was
John Wolfnbarger, outlaw, despera-
do, sneak thief and convicted felon,
who escaped from the penitentiary
last June, at which time dozen 9th
ers made their escape. He was sent
up for planning and carrying into ex-
ecution the robbery Of wealthy
farmer named Jennings, who was liv-
ing in the lower end of Granger
county.
THE oTRER CoNsPIRAT0Rs
we're Dan Bealer, about 10, who is
known to be one OF the most daring
and desperate young men in the coun-
try; Mrs. Wolfinbarger, wife of the
leader of the gang, and his sister. One
Bart Kirby is also suspected of being
an accompice. He is a noted tough,
and has been convicted OF numerous
petty crimes. Wolfinbarger has been
IN the country ever since his escape
and has been guilty of several small
offenses The Sheriff notified him
that he would be compelled to arrest
him the first time a warrant was
placed in his hands. On last Saturday
Mrs. WOlfnbarger went before Squire
Bealer and swore out warrant for
her husband, charging him with hav-
ing whipped her on several occasions,
THIS WAS lTHETRAP
that caught the Sheriff. The warrant
was placed in Sheriff Greenlee's s hands
for execution Monday afternoon. The
Wolfnbargers and Dealers live in
what is known as Crackers Neck, a
bend in the Clinch River, ten miles
north of Rutledge, Squire Bealer, faith
er OF Daniel Bealer, being one Of the
best citizens in the county. John
Wol6nbarger occupies small cabin
on the side of range. Two hundred
feet distant is log barn with high
loft On Tuesday Sheriff Greenlee
summoned posse OF true and tried
men to assist him, expecting to
FIGHT HIS WAY THROUGH.
The posse consisted OF VIM. Parrish,
James Cofman, Jno. Vance, Elijah
Alnwine and John Satterfeld. The
entire party, led by the Sheriff, left
Rutlcdge Tuesday night about /
o'clock and reached Wolfnbarger's
just at the break of day. The Sheriff.
entered the house but found no one
there except Kirby, who was lying in
bed with q Winchester rife on either
side OF him. AS he raised himself up he
drew a pistol from under the pillow
and leveled it at the Sheriff's head

pistol with one hand and the outlaw

A SMART OLD MAN.

He Was Good Shot, and the Father Of n
Truthful Artist.
Chicago Herald.1
Up at the Chicago Society of Artists
rooms the other night group of the experts
with the brush were chatting over the
achievements of their aged parents. They
all had wonderful stories to tell about the
great activity of their fathers and mothers,
and their tales were really marvellous. At
last quiet young man sitting apart from
the rest hitched up his chair and said:
'My old father was wonder as gray
beard. All his life he was great sports
man, and was accounted a crack shot with
his gun. One day he set out with an old
friend to hunt chipmunks. He had just
turned 80 years that week. They walked
along quietly through the woods and finally
deserted lone chipmunk sitting just abaft
his hole. 1t was necessary to kill them in
stantly or else catch them before they could
get back to their holes; so in this case my
father got good position, blazed away with
both barrels, and then quickly jumped for
the hole. You can judge how quick he was
when tell you that he reached the hole
lust in time to receive in his shoulder the
two charges of buckshot from his own gun.
he was a pretty lively old man, boys. "
And the only thing those artists were able
to paint after that was the town red.

stand in the breach in behalf of 2500 miles east
of Pittsburg. and $3.50 miles west and 1t is
notorious that many of its burdens have been
grievous.
In view of the low and uncertain values of
many of the securities which constitute part
Of It's surplus, of the immense non-paying
mileage for which it is responsible, of the great
contingencies to which so vast q system is al
ways liable, and of costly errors to which any
concern may be subject even under the ablest
guidance and If we further consider the con-
slant demand and necessity for new and costly
improvements, and adjuncts in the way of con-
tributory extensions. and the necessity for con-
trolling, and extending control Of other lines in
such a manner and to such an extent as to
thoroughly maintain its own fundamental ex-
istence. think It cannot be justly claimed
that even Sl9 600 900 surplus worth its face, is
too large. In this day Of struggle, the, Penn
sylvania Railroad Company IS compelled to
take long look ahead, and to fortify itself
constantly against influences that would other
wise relegate it to q low estate.

LANCASTER, April 12-George Calder, q
prominent cotton manufacturer of this city,
proprietor of the Fulton Cotton Mill, made
an assignment to-day. The liabilities are
at least $50, 600, and the assets may reach
$50, 600, of which not more than $40, 900 will
be for general creditors. The principal
creditors are the William M. Miley estate
and Bradbury, Wilson & Co., PhiIadel-

The failure is ascribed to depression in
the cotton market and inability to market
goods. The Fulton mill, employing 175
hands, will be continued in operation tenn
porarily. Calder formerly owned two cot

and was considered wealthy.
