THE FURNACE LOCATION.
Jo Johnson's Proposition Makes it Look
Like the South Side.

The furnace location has not been
settled yet. Talking with w. J.
Ely on the subject, he says there is
way through the Finn place and his
property that will afford a very light
and cheap grade which has not been
surveyed, and that the Furnace
Company can have the right of way
free of charge. Capt. Gracey says
the route proposed by Mr.. Ely to the
Poston place had not been thought
of, but they would have it surveyed.
10. T. Johnson, who owns a large
body of land just across the river,
sent in a written proposition yes
terday morning offering to give the
company ten acres of land, or twenty
five if needed for the furnace, all the
stone needed for the construction of
the furnace, and all the stone required
for fiuxing as long as the furnace
runs, and pay the company $1,000 in
cash if it will locate at the end of the
trestle on the south side of CumbeT.
land river.
This is quite liberal proposition
on the part of Mr.. Johnson, but he
can well afford it, because it will
make him rich in the sale of lots and
the operation of his ferry, which
would soon become a regular tub
mill. A member of the company,
we understand, remarked that the
furnace could be operated cheaper ON
the south side, because of the advan-
tage of keeping store in connection
with it.
This is a matter of considerable
interest to the citizens of GAINESVILLE.
They have subscribed $4,000 to the
mineral railroad, as much, or more
for the benefits expected from the
development of the iron interest
and the building of furnaces here,
than from any direct benefits from
the road, and if the location is made
on the south side it will be a great
disappointment and setback in the
enterprise already planned. We do
not blame Mr.. johnson for getting it
if he can, but steps ought to be taken
by the citizens on this side to keep
him from getting it.

$3.50 ARE THE FIGURES,
And few More of Clarksville's Popula-
ton to Hear From.

The census enumeratOrs for Clarks-
vile and the IL district are not vel
quite through with their work and
refuse to give out reports under their
instructions, but the LEAF-CHRONI.
Gle has nose for news that don't
wait on Uncle Sans slow move
ments. Gathering items here and
there and putting things together we
are able to give our readers very
near an accurate report of the census
of GAINESVILLE and District No.
IL. Mr.. Blackburn's time has
been extended five days for the
benefit of those who have been a
little slow. They will likely all be
able to get in the count within five
days, and then the reports will be
sent TO Washington, when we can
get full particulars. The LEAF
CHRONICLE, however, figures out
the total population of the city, in
Guiding the annexed territory, $3.50.
The population inside of the old
corporate limits is 1879, against $3.50
last census; increase, 500.
The population of the newly an
nexed territory is 3,401. That part
of the annexation north of Franklin
street from upper Red river bridge to
Providence bridge, known as Skuff-
town and Taylor's Hill, is 1857, of
which number only 107 are white.
The 10Th district, outside of Clarks-
vile and the new annexation, as
near as we can estimate will amount
to 800. The 18th district, which has
been taken off of the 18th since last
census, will also amount to 800,
Adding these together, including
GAINESVILLE, we have $3.50 population
against the same territory included
in the 10Th district in 1880, of 1913,
showing an increase for GAINESVILLE
and the 18th district of 1887. This
shows an increase of 1,768 in the
district, and 500 within the old cor
porate limits.

The shemwell Tragedy.

So far there have been no develop
ments in the Investigations of the
jury in the Shemwell case in Stewart
county. To-day's American contains
the following from Dover under date
of June 80: Coroner Bufford, after
holding the jury to inquire into the
cause of the death of John ShemwelI,
who was assassinated near Bumpus
Mills, this county, several nights
ago, together for one week, adjourned
Saturday morning last without rem
dering a verdict. 1t will convene
again Friday next. Over 100 witnesses
were examined. The public is salts
fed that some of the relatives of
James Wallace, who was killed by
Shemwell last spring, did the deed,
but the evidence produced so far is
purely circumstantial. No arrests
have been made"

Q. B. wilsOn,s Residence purrlarissd.

The residence of g. B. Wilson was
burglarized Monday night and sos. 10
stolen from a bureau drawer. The
publication of the particulars was
omitted yesterday in Difference to
the wishes of the family, fearful that
publicity would enable the thief,
who had been spotted, to escape.
Mr.. Wilson is absent, spending a
few weeks at Eastbrook Springs for
his health, and the family We're all
away from home Monday night.
The money belonged to one of the
young ladies. The thief ransacked
the house generally but took nothing
but the money, overlooking jewelry,
watches, etc. The house was entered
by back window, and the drawer
from which the money was taken,
add other contents were left in the
window. The thief found the key
box and took the right key to the
bureau drawer, as if familiar with
everything in the house.
Suspicion rested upon Peyton Jones,

his employer Monday morning and
was loafing around Mr.. Wilson,

cabin on Brandon's bluff at O'Clock

BOB H1eBEE CAPTURED.
The Slayer of John Waller overtaken
by the Law at Last.

The news was given out several
days ago that man supposed to be
Robert Bigbee, the slayer Of John
Waller, had been captured at Indian
apOlis, but for the want of positive
Identification, little was thought of
it. Since, however, he has been
identified beyond doubt and Sheriff
Cartright, of Todd county, KY, left
Guthrie this morning for Indian
apolis, armed with arequisition from
the Governor Of Kentucky, and viii
bring Bigbee back and lodge him in
the Elkton Jail to await his trial. He
was captured by the Merchants De-
tective Agency of Nashville who
will receive the reward of $SOO-$5OO
by the State and $500 by the friends
of the deceased. The surprising
thing to every body is that so sharp
a man as Bigbee should have re-
manned so near home, or in the
United States, under such charge as
rests against him.
CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE KILLING.
1t will be remembered that kind
of fued existed some several years
ago between Bigbee, who was citi-
zen of Guthrie of some prominence
and John Waller. a farmer of Hamp-
ton Station, this county, growing out
of the arrest and prosecution of ne
gro named Ed Bloch in the employ
Of Waller, for the murder ola negro,
Bill Utley, employed in Bigbee's
livary stable at Guthrie. Bigbee fol
lowed Bloch into Tennessee and
captured him without the authority
of law. Notwithstanding Bloch
went to the penitentiary for the
murder, Bigbee was prosecuted by
Waller in this county for his illegal
proceedings. A great deal of bad
feeling grew out of the matter. Big
bee stood several trials and finally
the stable, mules, ETC., of John Par
ham who was witness in the case,
were burnt, and mob went to Wal
ler's after Bloch, who was then Out
on bail, and charged him with the
burning,
Quarrels and threats between Big.
bee and Waller were frequent. Some
time about Christmas two years ago
Waller went to Guthrie as usual, and
after transacting his business mount
ed his horse and started home. Just
as he was passing Bigbee's stable, O
load of buckshot was fired into his
left side from window in the sta
BILE. BIgbee was seen to leave by
the back door few seconds after the
shot. He was arrested and put un.
der bond, Waller living a week OF
10 days after being riddled. Bigbee
skipped out day or two before
Walters death, and this is the first
that has been heard of him since.
Bigbee was a shifty, enterprising,
sprightly citizen and had many
friends about Guthrie and in Rob
ertson county where he was raised,
He was regarded as brave, coura-
geous man, quite able to have de-
Tended himself against Waller, and
the whole country was surprised and
shocked by the cowardly charge that
he had assassinated John Waller.
He, however, has friends who will
stand by him to the last.

Special to the Leaf-Chronicle.l
HoPKINsVILLE, KY, July 2, 80.
AN extensive confiagration was
narrowly averted by the gaIlantry OF
the volunteer fire company this
morning. #t. Il
At three o'clock fire was discov-
cred in the saloon of Tom Greer on
Seventh street. The interior was a
street of flames before the alarm
sounded.
The flames had leaped over brick
wall and Quilted Davis & Barrow 8 sa-
loon before the fire department ar
rived. The boys by brave work
confined it to the two buildings and
prevented it communicating with
the Main street block.
The stock and fixtures of both
houses were destroyed. Greer's loss is
200 with $500 insurance. Davis d
Barrows' loss is covered by insurance.
The buildings belonged to John
Stewart and were insured for So, 500.
No theory is offered as to the origin
of the fire.

A Destructive Fire in the Country.

G. T. Rosson, in the WoOdford
neighborhood, met with a serious
loss last night. About $3.50 o'clock
his stable was discovered to be on
fire, and with the limited means of
fighting fire in the country, there
was no chance of saving the building
or its contents except such stock as
could be driven out. One fine mule
and fourteen hogs were burned to
death, and two other mules and a
horse were badly burned-one of the
mules and the horse probably fatally.
Mr.. ROsson's granary was also
burned and with it 100 barrels of
corn, 50 bushels of wheat, 10 tons of
hay, one wagon, and all the harness,
brides and saddles that he had.
The loss is very serious one to
Mr.. R0sson, embracing as it does not
only his stock, but his family bread,
his provender and his harness and
buildings. How the fire originated
is a mystery. Mr.. Rosson is a clever
man and has the sympathy of the
community. 1t is not known whether
he carried any insurance or not.
