AN AMERICAN CANNIBAL.
Ifthe Evidence is True, He Ought to
be Hung Five Times.

DENVER, Col, Dec. 17.-Judge
Baily, of the District Court, heard ar
gument in a singular case. The appli
cant was one of a writ of habeaS cor
pus to release Alfred Parker, a convict
serving term of forty years for MUIR
der Parker is a cannibal convicted
eight years ago for the murder of five
of his friends, prospectors, with whom
he went on an expedition into San
Juan county in January, 1874. In
March of that year he appeared at
Los Pinos agency alone and told con-
fiicting stories as to the fate of his
companions. He was arrested on
charge of their murder. He escaped
and was not captured until 1888. He
was then tried and convicted of MUIR
der in the first degree, but it was de-
cided that the law authorizing capital
punishment was then imperative
owing to blunder of the Legislature.
The court then sentenced him to five
terms of eight years each, making
forty years in all. He has just COM
pleted his first term of eight years
and the present application of his re-
lease is based on the grOnud that the
court had no right to impose cumu-
lutive sentence; in other words that in
serving his first term he served his full
sentence. Parker has all along main
tained that he killed his companions
in self defense, but the evidence all
proved pretty conclusiyely that he
was a murderOuS cannibal.

THE TRAIN ROBBERY.
How it was Frustrated by Plucky Pas
seugers.

SeugerS.
HUNTINGDON, w. Va, Dec. IL
The desperadoes, Forgey and Collins,
who attempted the train robbery, but
who were frustrated, have been inter
viewed, but only Collins will talk. He
says:
eve went to the passenger depot
shortly before midnight and waited
for No. 4. As it started we boarded
the coach in front of the sleeper. We
adjusted our masks in the veStibule.
Forgey passed rapidly through the
car to the further end, brandishing a
revolver in each hand and warning
the passengers to keep still. As he
went through there was no trouble,
but when he reached the other end of
the car | saw a German jump on his
back and hurl him down. There was
struggle and confusion, and | heard
several shots fired. | heSitated a lit
tie longer and ran to his help. As |
came to him | fired. | don't know
whether | hit the German or not, but
| think my ball went into the floor.
AS this occurred | felt the sting of a
bullet in my legss A deathly sickness
came over me and | then dropped my
pistols and started for the door, A
passenger grabbed me, but | got to
the door and ran home as hard as
could, through SwampS and briarS.
That's how [ got all scratched up"
There are threats of lynching the
deSperadOeS.
The western sentinel. [volume] (Winston-Salem, N.C.) 1887-1926, 1892-12-22

tian people Of this city have for a long
time provided for this family, and
they seem sincerely grateful for the
help and kindness extended to them.
The aged grandmother who is so sore
ly afflicted has quite an eventful his
tory, but l have not space to relate it
here.
I One very remarkable confession that
she made to US, was that she had re-
Gently professed faith in Christ-after
all these long years of neglected op-
portunitieS and faithful service that
she could have given to the Masters
cause. What a gracious Christ we
serve who pardon freely those who
forget and deny him so long. In this
humble abode good Christian people
had prayed and labored with this
poor old woman until she saw the
light, and now another soul has been
redeemed, another star glitters in
somebody's crown.
0, ye Kings Daughters and Kings
Sons do not forget to make some heavy
heart happy and tuneful with the
sweet melody of love on His approach
ing natal day.
When you are purchasing costly
gifts for your wealthy friends. remem-
Der the divine injunction of the bless
ed Master: "The poor ye have al
ways with you" You have it in your
power to make the flowers of hope
spring up in your footprints. You
can cause the deserts of human des-
pair to blossom with the gladness Of
fulfilled prophecy and hush the voices
of discomfort by giving work to the
wageleSS. administering the needs of
the infirm and helpless; and in in
stances where you fear to wound the
sensitive feeling of those whom you
may desire to help, because you know
they need help, and the burden of
giving is laid upon you, possibly a
suggestion to ask no questions" to
the motive that prompted your kindly
deed. Again, it is within your PROV
ince to open up a way for the church
less masses in our midst to attend
divine service at the house of God. 1t
can be done. for the solvent of every
problem of society is the love of God.
Indeed, | rejoice as do thousands of
others, that Gods new day of judg-
ment is surely and swiftly dawning
That the expectations of the poor
shall not forever perish in hopeless
toiling and longing for better
days.
That we are beginning to realize
more and more each day that the
message of Jesus to every man, rich
or poor, weak or strong, ignorant or
wise. is the cross. That only a cruci-
fed Christianity will ever be able to
win a selfish world to the crucified
Christ: that Christ who was infinitely
pitiful to the weak, the poor the
thriftless, the sinful, the ignorant;
but those who sought to hollow COW
etousness with religion, and convert
piety into u cloak for greed, he had
but wrath and scOrn and scour-
geS. ID.

A SOLEMN CONFIRMATION.
Well Pleased Over the Con-
solidatiOn of the Press and Sentinel.

Correspondence of the Sentinel.
HULoN, n. c., Dec. 13.-The people
are well pleased that the Press has
consolidated with the SENTINEL.
1t is newsy paper and well deserves
the patronage of more readers.
The confirmation services at Fried
burg on last Sunday conducted by
Rev. Jas. Hall were very solemn and
impressive, there being thirty-siX
persons confirmed into the church.
Geo. Charles, of Forsyth, was mar
ried to Miss Kate Crews, of Walnut
Cove, on Dec. 9th, and Madam Ru-
NOR says there will be more wedding
bells ere this year closes.
A String Band has been organized
in the neighborhood and SerenadeS
are a frequent occurrence.
Some large porkers have been killed
in this section. VIM. Reich slaugh-
tered one weighing 4S0 pounds, also
George Zimmerman one thirteen
months old which weighed 400 lbs.

A NEW COUNTY.
High Point Would Like to be the
County Seat.

SOuHtS
From the High Point Enterprise.l
There is a strong disposition here
among the business men to make the
fight this year for new county to be
formed out of territory in GuilfOrd,
Randolph, Davidson and Forsyth
counties with High Point as the
county seat. A survey was made of
this proposed county years ago by the
lamented DR.. BraXton Craven but for
some reason the matter was allowed
to go through and has never been
brought to the attention of the gener-
al assembly.
To the people off of the railroad, in
the proposed county, such move
ment would be of great advantage as
they are now not nearer than from
four to six hours ride of their respec-
tive court houses which under the
present road system means great
deal to the farmer during the year.
Again the new comfy would be free
from debt. AS far as court house is
concerned we could make adequate
provision for a year or so. The taxes
the first year would be over $15, 900
and after we had paid our proportion
of taxes to our mother counties there
would then remain ample means to fit
out everything for a prosperous career.
This idea was first conceived by
men who had given the matter much
study and concluded that the people
were entitled to such a county. The
demand is much more imperative now
and we believe the legislature can be
made to see it in that light.

FOOTVILLE ITEMS.
Mrs. Jane SteeIman Passes to Her Fin
al Rest.


al Rest.
Corresp )nIenca of the Sentinel.
FooTvILLE, Dec. 13.-This cOmmu-
nifty was shocked last Friday morning
by the report of the sudden death of
Mrs. Jane Steelman, wife of Sandford
Steelman, which occurred Thursday
evening. Mrs. Steelman had been in
feeble health for some months, but
her neighbors did not think her dan
gerous, when she was taken suddenly
worse Wednesday and died Thursday
evening. Mrs. Steelman was lady
loved by all who knew her; she was
kind and hospitable especially to the
poor, Christian lady in the strictest
sense of the word. She leaves hus-
band, three grown daughters, two
sons and a number of friends who are
scattered all over the country, some
in Winston, Mr.. Frank Brindes' fam
lily whom, we are certain, will regret
hearing of her death.
Mr.. Steelman is a fine gentleman
and a man of considerable wealth. He
may rest assured that all of his friends
sympathize with him in his recent be-
reavement. The funeral services
were conducted at Sandy Spring
church, Iredell county, last Saturday
by Rev. MeSsrs. S. S. May and VIM.
Vanhoy, in the presence of large
congregation, after which the corpse
was inferred there in the cemetery.

BUSY LITTLE MADISON.
A Good Tobacco Business Has Sprung
Up There.

Correspondence of ThesSentinel.l
MADISON, Dec. 14.-Our little place
is fast growing to be a tobacco town.
Some of our enterprising citizens have
recently completed large brick fac
tory which they offer rent free, the
first year, to any one who will under
take the manufacture of tobacco here.
This place is in the heart of the to-
bacco section: leaf can be secured in
abundance and Of the best quality,
and as we haye outlets to Winston or
Roanoke, on the Roanoke & South
ern and to Greensboro on the 9. +. u
Y. V. roads, our shipping facilities
are excellent. Although our tobacco
business is still in its infancy, we
have two warehouses, those of Il. p.
Wall and Martin & McGehee, and
both are doing good business. They
have had several large breaks recently.

Confessed his Crime.
From the Charlotte Observe


Ten years ago negro man named
Wallace was found dead on the rail
road track near Davidson College. 1t
was supposed he had been run over
and killed by the train. A coroners
inquest was held and the verdict was
to that effect. The negro was buried
and nothing was then thought of the
matter. Several days since his rela-
tives, who live near Zion church, re-
ceived a letter from a white man
named Terrence, formerly of or near
Davidson College, who went West
shortly after the negro was, as sup
posed. killed by the train, stating
that he had killed Wallace, and that
by the time this letter reached them
he would be dead, as he inteneed kill
ing himself. Accompanying his let
ter was one from a party with whom
he was living, stating that as soon as
Terrence make the confession he
committed suicide by taking lauda-
mum.

TO CHANGE COUNTY LINES.
A Suggestion to Madison, ReidsviIle,
Mt Airy ard ElI1in,


Mt Airy ard Elkin,
To the Editor of the Sentinel.
Nov, that the legislature is about
to convene, / wish to ask space for a
brief statement which may be of in
terest to a large number of your
readers.
1t is an unfortunate thing that the
people of Rockingham, Stokes, and
Surry counties are put TO much incon-
yenienceS by the fact that the county
seat of each of these counties is far
from Il railroad. On that account l
think that there should be Il readjuSt
ment Of county lines. | think that
Reidsville, Madison, Mount Airy and
Elkin should be made county seats,
and that the territory now embraced
in the counties of Rockingham,
Stokes, Surry and parts of Wilkes and
AShe and the whole of Gadkin should
be so divided as to do away with Yad-
kin county entirely and make four
counties with the county seats named.
If tWO-thirdS of the territory of Had-
kin were given to a new county named
Yadkin, and the rest to DaYie county,
which needs more territory, it would
be good thing, and l believe that
there would be little opposition to
the rreadjustment in any other part
of the territory. l hope that the
movement in favor of this change may
become general in the section inter
ested. l.. Q.
