Associated Press Dispatches.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Dec. 29.-Marion
and Dave Beatty and Gwn Bowden, OF
Feptress county, on the upper Tennes-
see, lie dead in their houses, and Ed
ward Harris, their murderer, is a
fugitive from justice with reward
offered for his apprehension. Three
months ago Mary Beatty, a sister of
the dead men and the belle of the upper
Tennessee country, retired from So
ciety. Then it became noised about
that the young woman had become
mother. This story was substantiated
some time after by the sudden arrest OF
Claiborne Beatty, banker, and the
richest man in the county, at the insti-
CATION of the girl, his daughter, who
charged him with being the father OF her
child. This stirred up a hornets nest, and
SO fearful were the jaller and sheriff OF
o mob that they removed him from Jail
and into another county Tor safe-keep-
ing. Neighbors and friends began to
take sides, some with the wronged
girl, others with the father. Finally
Beatty gave heavy pond and
lett the country. Mary Beatty went
to live with distant relative, Hiram
Harris, who lived at Allardt, not far
from jamestown. The Harris family,
accompanied by Mary Beatty, came TO
town Monday to do some trading and
to appear before 'he grand jury to tes-
tiiy against her father. The Beatty
boys were there with their friends and
relatives. Court adjourned at 4 O'Clock,
and alter making some purchases the
Harris family anu Mary Beatty started
home. When the Harris family lett
the court house yard Gwyn Bowden
and the Beatty brothers mounted their
horses and followed them. One mile
from jamestown one OF the Beattys rode
up to the side OF the wagon and de-
manded that the girl go home with him,
emphasizing the command with cut
on the lace with his whip. The girl re-
piled that she would rather die than
live with him again. Beatty again
attacked his sister, when Harris
pulled revolver and shot all
three men, and then escaped. The
Beattys always enjoyed the respect OF
the people OF the county, and Claiborne
Beatty was state representative. lie
was extensively engaged in the general
merchandise and lumber business.
Many believe the girls story concerning
her father. Sne Is educated, a strik-
ingly handsome woman, about 20 years
old, ana enjoys the esteem OF every one
i'll the vicinity. There is report that
Miss Beatty and young Harris were
married some time ago i'll Scott county,
but it cannot be confirmed.

Belle Billions Husband Gets a Title
Through the Death of His Father.
LONDON. May 3O.-The right honora-
BILE, the Earl of Clancarty, whose title,
although an Irish one, gives him a
place among the peers of the United
Kingdom, died Friday at the age of
81. The deceased nobleman recently
achieved a great deal of notoriety
by reason of his attempt to break
the marriage of his son, Viscount
Dunlo, with the quondam music-hall
singer, Belle Billion, by inducing his
son to bring an action for divorce
against her. Lady Dunlo, who now
succeeds to the title of Countess of
Clancarty, was recently a member of a
burlesque company playing Venus"
in which she appeared in the title role.
The attitude of the family toward
the actress continues hostile. Viscount
Dunlo says that the late earl desired to
be buried in England and that he will
not be buried in the family vault at
Garbally, Ballinasloe, Ireland, unless
the will gives special instructions to
the effect The retirement of Lady
Dunlo from the stage is a matter OF
conrSa
