The Brookhaven leader., 1889-11-07
-Four Men to Hang

The Supreme Court Of Tennessee re-
Gently decided case unprecedented in
the history of the State. Last January,
Henry Sutton, prominent stock buyer
of Hancock County, was fired upon by
men in ambush and killed. Suspicion
pointed to five men-John Anderson,
John, H., Elish and Clinton Barnard.
They were closely related to each other
and a family feud had been long raging
between them and the Suttons. The
Bernards were arrested and tried on the
same indictment, convicted and SEN
fenced to be hanged. An appeal was
taken to the Supreme Court and that
body confirmed the sentence of the
lower court. They will be hanged De-

abundance and comparative content. So
the farmers who logged in on or iolted
behind their heavy-hoofed horses ad-
mitted the leading statement with q
suprsmely satisfied conviction that 9TH
er towns were not booming as was Bub-
bic and an absolute Indifference to tha
probability Of its being Christmas Eve
elsewhere. A delicious day it was, too,
although not the typical winter, one
which imagination invariably associates
with the dear old feast There was no
snow; the air was crisp, keen in it's
frosty sweetness, exhilarating as
wine; by sky of subdued yet intense
blue was the billowing prairie domed
and bounded; against that serene and
perfect background fields of rihed but
unriven corn flung out their tattered,
tawny banners; the winding, brownish
roads rang like steel to every passing
sound; along those desolate country
ways the sumac shrank in blasted
beauty, and skeleton sunflowers reared
aloft the bare, brown hearts from which
had fallen long ago the disks of gold.
But the old man, who, mounted on the
front seat of a ponderous, creaking farm
wagon, drove over the hill and down the
one new, ugly, bustling street which
boasted the business, the barter and the
commercial enterprise Of Bubble,
thought not at all of his surroundings,
not even of the day. He did not stop at
either general store, at the tin-shop, the
saloon or the drug store. With an oc-

the pretentious hotel, the gaping livery

drew up beside the platform of the rail
road depot.
"Whoa-ah, thar! Train most due,
Tom? Hope it's. Olive sort of niece
aboard-me cousin Moike's child. Did
ye know that?''
The station agents assistant smiled
back at him. Did he know that? Who
did not know that old Rafferty, had
some months ago sent money to Ireland
to bring out young relative of his. A
queer character, old Rafferty,. Seven
teen years of his life had been passed
as a sailor. He claimed to be one of
the survivors of the battle between the
Merrimac and the Cumberland, and that
1t was he who fired the last shot on
board the latter vessel, when it, with
colors still bravely flying, sunk beneath
the waves. Dearly did he love to tell of
the affair, particularly of the part which
concerned himself, of the three hours
spent under the water before rescue was
effected. At the close of the war he
took up "a claim in Nebraska, and by
slow degrees, in loneliness and priva-
tion, had accumulated not little wealth.
Out of perilousness he had seen peace
come. "A friendly and familiar figure
was he to all. Somehow people always
smiled at old Rafferty, cordially, too.

a couple of little box-like houses, then
they were out of the town proper and
driving directly northward. When they
crossed small bridge, and turning to
the right passed between two looming
haystacks into great shadowy farm
yard, it was already evening. A wind,
the sudden chill, sharp wind which fol-
lows sunset in Nebraska, had sprung
up. Fading into fathomless gray was
the one bar of dull rose which streaked
the Western sky. And overhead a
silver moon
Lay out there like sickle for His hand
Who cometh down at last to reap the world :"
In the comfortable fire-lit, lamp-lit
kitchen Mrs. Rafferty, awaited them.
She was an American, a little, thin,
white-faced old woman clad in the in
evitable print wrapper of the Western
housekeeper. A brisk, quick, weary,
good-hearted little soul, worn out as are
most American women by overwork,
burned out by overanxiety to do more
and do it better. And now here was aid,
here relief, here younger, stouter arms.

her and kissed her. 'How do you do,

"You remember William, don't YOU,
Hanna?" Mrs. Rafferty, said, as from an
adjoining room came a spruce, trim,
dandified young man. He was dressed
for 'sthe dance" to be held in town that
night Speckless his clothes, black
mirrors his shoes; he wore white shirt,
white collar and a sanguinary cravat.

Hanna nodded and extended plump
hand, which Will came forward and

to the fire and covertly surveyed her.
A round young figure clothed in a
dress, skirt rather, of bright blue cash
mere, which was surmounted by a snug
ly-ftting jacket of scarlet flannel; dark
hair, parted straightly and brushed
back from full, fresh-colored girlish
face, a face with thick black brows and
brilliant eyes, and mouth which, if a
trifle too large, held firm white teeth
and was quite mirthful and risible.
"S'posin' you take Hanna to the dance,
William" suggested Mrs. Rafferty,.

fine, erect, handsome young self coolly

The train trembled, screamed, pulled
out and went swinging westward. The
agent carrying his book and express
packages returned to the Office. A boy
swung the solitary mailbag on his
shoulder and sauntered off. Casting
half-curious, half-stolid glances at the
newcomer the usual crowd of depot

Some news and a sad leaf of history in
the lives OF three pioneer miners was
related in the rotunda of the Palmer
House by William Hammond, Chey.

Mr.. Hammond said that the day he
left Cheyenne for Chicago, the skeletons
OF Charles Burns, Nathan Hubbard and,
George Cantline were found in dense
wilderness $50 miles from Fort Klar

rator, s'who left Linkville, Ore, in the

al ''Lost Cabin" gold mines in the Wolf
mountains of Wyoming. In Burns
valise was . diary posted to August,
1856, giving chronicle of the search for
the fabulous treasure. The death
mystery is unfathomable. Half
century ago the "Lost Cabin" mines
were opened by the Hudson Bay Com
pany's trappers: They were driven out
by the aborigines. Upon returning they
could not find their homes or claims.
None but Indians knew the secret now.
Chief Coloron, when living, annually
visited the ''Lost Cabin,' making his
marches at night. Time and time again
the crafty old Ute chief eluded the
whites who were following him. Moth
ing would induce him to reveal the To-
cation of the mines. Wealthy miners
have outftted parties to search for the
treasure, and some prospectors have
spent the major part of their life in
searching the Wolf mountains for the
hidden treasure. The remains of these
men were wrapped in blankets and were
found by p1ospectors who are on SINH

Sufferers are not generally aware that
these diseases are contagious, or that they
are due to the presence Of living parasites
in the lining membrane of the nose ano

however, has proved this to be fact and
the result Of this discovery is that simple
remedy has been formulated whereby
Catarrh, Hay Fever and Catarrhal Deafness
are permanently cured in from one to three
simple applications made at home by the
patient once in two weeks.
