and his posse to the house of Anderson
Hoggston, three miles west of Marion,

that he would give himself up readily.

He is supposed to be in the neighborhood
of SwayZee, ten miles west of Marion.

her sisters jealous spite. Matilda, aged
27, and her Sister Lena, about 80, room

Mcfarland. They occupy seperate beds
in the same room directly over McFar-
lands sleeping apartments. All was

L. Frankenthal, Of st. Louis, and
Ernest Salinger, Of Philadelphia, two
students at the Hebrew Union College in
Cincinnati, were found dead in their room.
From notes found on the table in the
room it would appear that the two young
men took their own lives, according to o
preconcerted arrangement, using the
same revolver. The news Of the affair
has created a sensation at the college.
The two young men were very studious
and devoted to religious research and
Thought, and 1t is supposed they had be-

A River Disaster.

Princeton (Ky.) special: News has just
reached here of terrible casualty on
the Cumberland River, q short distance
from this place, during the prevalence of
q wind and rain storm day or two ago.
Curtis Boyd, merchant of Canton,
started raft in charge of six men for
Paducah, and when day out they were
oyertaken by terrible gale. They
managed to get the raft in to the
bank and tied it, The high waves
broke it loose from it's moorings, and it
drifted into mid stream. The steamer
Reagan passed the scene, and the water
was running over the raft. The men
gave signals of distress, but the boat,
fearing to go to the wreck, passed by
without making any effort to rescue
them. This was the last seen or heard
Of them. 1t is supposed that the raft
drifted down the river, and, striking a
drift-pile, went down with the men. The
names of the men are not known, but
they were from Trigg County.
