The smallest shoe store in New York is

one side, barely room to handle his
work and swing his hammer without
touching the opposite side.

MYSTERIOUS MURDER.
Wash Boyer Heid-Some Unsavory Facts
Coming to Light.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, March 1S.--Cooke
county, Tenn, is intensely excited by
the heinous Boyer murder. Washing
ton Boyer, who is charged with the
murder of his father. David Boyer, is in
Jail at Newport. He stoutly protests
his innocence. The coroner's verdict
charges him with being the murderer.
Great crowds have visited Newport to
catch a glimpse of the prisoner and to
talk about the case. The signatures of
a man named Holt and of his son appear
as witnesses to the forged deed which
Washington Boyer tried to have re-
corded. This deed purported to convey
to him all the property of his father, and
to have been made by him. The Boyer
family is one of the best known and
most popular in the county. The pris-
oner is county superintendent of educa-
ton and a man of unusual intelligence
and education. His uncle was sheriff
and circuit court clerk consecutively,
and has for some time been cashier of
the Bank of Newport. This man paid
$500 reward for the arrest of his own
nephew.
Josie Moore. the woman at the bot
tom of the trouble, is handsome and
buXom blonde. She has been living on
the Boyer farm, and, it is alleged, re-
ceived the constant and devoted atten-
ton of Boyer, Sr. This aroused the an
ger of Mrs. Boyer, and it is alleged that
she knows something of the murder.
Last fall the house of the Moore woman
was blown up with dynamite one night
when Boyer was in it. The lovers cs-
capped unhurt

CULBERS0N Is OUT.
WITADRAWS FROM THE RACE FOR
UNITED STATES SENATOR.

Legislative News-G ossett's Bin Begulat-
in the state by Private Corporations
Passes to Second Reading.
AUSTIN, March 1S.-Colonel Culberson
is no longer in the race for United States
senator. His friends held their final
caucus and the result was the Culberson
men formally withdrew him from the
contest.
A telegram had been received from
Colonel Culberson, himself, which was
given to the caucus. The telegram
stated in effect that he was convinced
that the situation in the senatorial race
had recently undergone a change, that
he now had reason to believe majority
of the legislature was opposed to his
election and that inasmuch as he had
made the race to win on his merits if his
friends viewed the situation as he did
they were authorized to withdraw him
from the contest. This they did with
some reluctance, notwithstanding they
had arrived at the conclusion that il
would be impossible for their favorite to
win.
1t is given out by those gentlemen
who participated in the caucus that they
do not withdraw their candidate in the
interest of any other man, that they
have no senatorial goods to deliver tc
anybody and that the Culberson men
are now, as far as the caucus is con.
cerned, absolutely free, untrammeled
and unpledged
