CHEATING THE COUNTY.
How It is Done by Means Of the State Wolf
Bounty.
A Brazsn Attempt Made to Deraud Our
Nesghbosing County Of Lyon.

Il any argument were needed to justi-
/ fy the repeal OF the present obnoxious
wolf bounty law, the following from the
Marshall Messenger would be amply suf-
| fcient:
| County Auditor Baldwin tells of one
| OF the strangest and most brazen attempts
to defraud the state eAsof bounty money
for wolf scalps that we have yet heard of.
And by the way, the wolf bounty pay
ments are becoming burdensome to the
state, If other counties are as prolific in
these ssvarmints" as is our. own Lyon
county. From Jan. 1st to May 1st the
bounty is SPA head and after the latter
date it is reduced to So. Since Jan. 1st
the auditor Of Lyon county has paid out
nearly $1,8o0 bounty, and about one
hundred scalps have been refused as lack
ing proper credentials for genuine wolf
ship. But last Saturday the king bee
artist and fraud put in an appearance at
the auditors office, with bags containing
three old mother VOLTS and twenty pups.
with claim for $115. Of course the
old wolves promptly passed muster, and
their presence was deemed sufficient war
rant Tor the presence Of SO many young
ones. The law requires that the county
auditor or his deputy shall clip the ears
off all scalps When the ear cutting from
the pups began the claimant was very ac-
commodatlngg, and insisted upon holding
the head with one hand, and with the
other holding the ear in such a manner
that the officer could do the cutting with
out any further trouble to himself. But
with the third head the auditor noticed
something peculiar about the ear. and
1calling a halt, proceeded to make a closer
inspection. TO his amazement he found
the ear was simply a piece of hide cut in
| the shape ct an ear in the most artistic
nlannelSa q and tEaats it was sttewed5on. to the
scalp. He then discovered the scalp was
not that of a young wolf, but probably
muslTat or hare. Futher examination
disclosed that every one of the forty
ears had been manufactured and deftly
sewed to the twenty scalps. Then there
| was a scene between the auditor an6
the fraudulent bounty man: the atmo.
sphere was blue and OF a sulphurous odor
/ The man was abashed but admitted the
fraud, saying the work was so nicely done
! he thought it would pass muster. Un
fortunately the auditors anger and amaze
ment prevented him from allowing the
man to make the usual sworn statement
1 upon which conviction might follow. anC
1.-THE rascal landed in prision for term O
years. The fellows name is T. C. Fitz
! simmons. and he is brother of COUNTY
/ Commissioner Fitzsimmons of Murra,
! county. He says he lives in Lyon coun
! ty near Ealaton but probably lies, and i.
a resident OF Murray county. He sale
! he chased one of the old wolves three
days in order to have a sufficient number
OF old ones to create no suspicious regar
ding the large number of young. ones.

Mr.. Lind stated that he intended to be il

Lind may yet have the Republican CUB

REV. MIR. STUART.
The Gentleman Who Assists In The
Sam Jones Services.

Rev George NJ. Stuart, formerly OF
Chattanooga, has for some time been
associated with Rev. Sam Jones in the
latter's Southern revival work and will
assist him during his stay in Knox
vile, to begin May l.
The Augusta (Ga.) News speaks as
follows of Mr.. Stuart: "It is safe to
say that he is equally as strong a
preacher as the Rev. Mr.. Jones him
self. In some lines he is stronger, al
though he falls short, of course, in the
humor and dry philosophy of the only
Sam Jones. But in his earnest,
straightforward shoulder-hitting and
impulsive way, Mr.. Stuart is the equal
of any man ever heard in Augusta.
"His sermon Sunday morning ought
to be repeated by request, and it
OUGHT TO BE HEARD
in every pulpit in the land. Itwas an
object lesson and grand inspiration
for every man and woman in the
sound of his voice, and we are sorry
for the husband or wife, the son or
daughter, who after hearing this dis
course did not resolve to do better and
more fully measure up to the high and
sacred responsibilities of their posi-
tions, A man like George Stuart is
bound to do good. He is doing it
every day, and he has the mark Of
high conservation on his face and the
sweet and strong confidence in God in
his inmost heart. Knoxville Senti-

Action Taken Locking to the COrreC-

WASHINGTON, April 20.-In the Sen
ate today the recent liberties taken by
the members of the House in connec-
ton with the Congressional Record
were called to the attention of the SEN
ate in the shape of a resolution offered
by Mr.. Sanders, which, at the sugges-
ton of Mr.. Platt, went over without
action. The resolution instructs the
Judiciary Committee to inquire
whether the publication in the Record
of copyrighted books without the con-
sent of the proprietor is an infringe
ment of the right Of such proprietor,
and whether it subjects any person
who sells a Record containing such
reprints to a liability for damages.
In the House Mr.. Mcmillan, of Ten
nessee, from the Committee on Rules,
reported resolutions vacating and set
ting aside all orders heretofore made
granting general leave to print in the
Record. After debate the resolution
was adopted.

They are Happy.

At the home Of J. P. Hart, Sunday,
April 10, Judge Hart united in holy
wedlock, Miss BERTHE, daughter of w.
). Campbell, OF South Watauga, and
Dr. Mcintosh, of Piney Flats. The
couple, after their marriage, went back
to their respective abodes, the maid to
her household affairs, and the DIR. to
his patients, as if nothing had hap
pened Sad indeed this was, but this
separation was not to be lasting. The
daughter has left the fathers house
and gone to be near the Dr.'s side.
THE COMET rejoices and sends happy
greetings to this new couple. The sea
of matrimony seems to be white with
gallant boats. We hope this couple
may have fair sailing, gentle zephyrs
to fan their brows, and that Joy may
smile away every unpleasant thought
that may arise in these two young
hearts

SAM AND ROSA
Get Married and Leave Her Father in
the Lurch.

When young folks are determined tC
marry, perennial authority does not
stand much in the way. There was an
instance of this kind in Chattanooga
last evening.
For some time Sam Weinfeld has
been paying attention to Miss Rosa
Rouch, the handsome young daughter
of Clothing Merchant Rouch, oi
Market street.
Her parents objected to the match
as did Sans widowed mother, but the
young folks loved as only young folks
can love.
Sam did not have much money
Though he was several years beyond
his majority he had not been thrifty in
the saving of the dollars, and the
greatest hinderance to his marriage
was the financial one.
Sam has red hair, and of course, is
hops full, and it di Int take him long to
devise means of surmounting the
financial problem. He informed his
mother he had a chance to get into q
cider scheme whereby he could manu-
facture the article without the inter
vention of the fruit OF the orchard
His mother gave him a couple of hun
dred dollars yesterday to begin busi.
ness, and Sam at once sought out
Rosa, and procuring license they
called upon Squire John Springfield
who ascertaining that both the young
folks were of the legal age, performed
the ceremony.
Father Rouch heard OF the marriage
and located the couple at the Central
depot, but he was too late. Rosa drew
up her slender form to its utmost
height and announced she was Sans
and Sam was hers, after informing
Rosa never more to call him father
and that he disowned her, Mr. Rouch
stood on the platform and watched
Sam and his wife board the train fol

We used to buy goods and carry

ways say, "Please send up" This is
all we'll and good, and it seems to me
pleasant thing. Many boys have en-

Boys, perhaps you may think you have
low calling, but this is not the case.
Anything that needs to be done is no
BILE. You may look at Mr. A. behind
the counter and think his work is
more honorable than yours. Hold on ;
if you will be truthful, honest and obe-
dient, you can take his place by and
by. Remember, You must rise by your
own action. Nine-tenths of the great
men that we like to read about came
up from low stations. The bankers
some of the presidents, the great men
OF every profession, have come up from
huts and cabins OF the glens and
mountains.
Now, boys, when you are sent tc
carry packages to their owners, yor
need not run, but hurry along. lie

good day you will be at the head 0
