FULLER AT LARGE.
The Defaulting County Treas
urer Evades Arrest.
He Turns Over His Property to Hil
Bondsmen But 1t Will Pay Only
Half the Shortage.

Special to the Leaf-Chronicle.
LITTLE Rock, ARK, July 1t.-Ad
vices from Paris, Ark, say The al.
legged defalcation OF County Treasurer
Fuller has startled the community.
A few days ago while Fuller and his
wife were away from home, he
claims that thieves entered the house
and carried off a trunk in which
Fuller claims to have put $1,000 be-
longing to the county. Since then
ugly rumors have been circulated.
The bondsmen Of the Treasurer held a
meeting and on examination found,
SO it is alleged, that he was about
$4,000 short in addition to the sum
said tO have been stolen.
Fuller admitted that he had loaned
friends money, and had deposited
funds with persons who had used the
money and could not replace it. He
has made over all his property to his
bondsmen after a stormy interview
with them, but this does not cover
the deficit by at least one. half. Fuller
has not yet been arrested.

A NATURAL RESULT.
The Daily Laef-Chronicle Subscription
List on Boom.

Lately there has been very decid
ed growth in the subscription list o
the DAILY LEAF. CHRONICLE; new
subscribers have been coming in al
the rate of five to ten day for sever
al weeks. Many of them are straight
out yearly subscribers. Five, accom-.
panied by the cash, came to us from
an adjoining Kentucky town this
morning, and at this writing five
additional ones have been entered
from the city proper today. This
certainly is very unusual showing,
and is the hest assurance the publish
er could have that his efforts are APP
preciated, and that the people will
patronize the paper that prints the
news. Our columns are filed daily
with the cream of the news from
every quarter. 1t has been subject
OF general comment that the LEAF
CHRONICLE handled the great labor
riot at Homestead with equal fullness
and promptitude as did the city
journals, and our readers lost no inn
pgrtant detail of the great occurrence,
That, however, was only case in
point. Our readers know that no
day passes that this paper does not
first inform them of the most impor-
tant things transpiring throughout
the country. Consequently the ex-
traordinary growth in its subscrip-
tion list is only case OF cause and
effect.
The SENI-WEEKLy LEAF CHRoN-
ICLE is forging rapidly onward also.
Its readers continually comment on
its improved news service and its in>
creased value to them, furnishing
them, as it does, twice a week with
just such matter as they are most
concerned about and in such quantity
az no other paper in Clarksville has
ever done. 1t is paper that pleases
the masses. Shrewd advertisers
meanwhile are reaping harvest by
iudicious use of its columns.
Altogether the outlook for the
LEAF CHRONICLE is very promising
1t pledges no let up in its efforts to
get and print the news.

LOUISVILLE, July 1l.-A fierce
fire ragged for several hours yesterday
at the immense tannery OF Wede-
kind, Hallenberg & Bro, at Lexing-
ton and Eighteenth streets, involv-
ing a loss of $500, ,0O0 and the serious
injury of three men. These men fell
from fourth story window, over
come by heat and smoke, just as res
cue was at hand. They are:
Henry j. Hallenberg, 1910 Eight
eenth street; leg hurt and internal
injuries.
William Baker, 1912 Eighteenth
street; hip broken and chin badly
cut.
Charles Beck, 1853 Eighteenth
street burst vein in blood vessel OF
leg and badly bruised.
The origin of the fire remains a
mystery, but it spread with wonder
full rapidity, destroying the plant OF
the tannery and of the Standard Cut
Sole Co., occupying the third and
fourth floors. The plant was of brick
and had frontage on Eighteenth
street of eighty feet, extending back
200 feet to the line of the Belmont
Distillery on Lexington street. The
front of the building is three stories
high, with fourth storysattic. To-
ward the rear it steps off terrace like
to three.story and two-story build
ing, and ends in long one story
building in which are located
the vats. The boiler and engine
rooms are located in an ell on the
north side of the building. 1t was in
the boiler room that the fire originat-
ed, but how no one is able to state.
The fires had been drawn Saturday
night. The watchman had u.ade re-
peated trips through the tannery
during the night, and had discovered
nothing out of the way.
AT 1880 O'Clock yesterday morning
some workmen who had gone into
the building noticed fire in the boil
er-room, which had already com.
municated with a tanbark elevator.
The cry of "fire" was sent out from
a station located at the distillery ad.
joining.
The tannery was one of the oldest
in the city, having been established
in 1859. 1t was the third largest iu
the city, and manufactured fine
quality of leather. The capacity was
fifty tanned leather hides day. The
investment represents 100000. Ir
addition the Standard Cut Sole Com
pany, occupying the upper floor, rep
resented an investment of $50, 900
This was owned by ID. j. and G. T

GEORGE ALWELL, JR.

George Alweil, Jr. was the son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Alwell, of Fifth street,
and had but recently passed his
twenty-first year. He was young
man of a somewhat retired nature,
but was one who made lasting
friends. His capacity for business
was good and he gained the conf
dence of his employers, by a modest
demeanor and by a strict adherence to
the line of duty. He was salesman
for Philip Lieber q Son for two years
In their store here and was then
placed at Erin as manager of their
business at that point. He made
friends at Erin as well as in the city
that gave him birth and the business
under his direction was entirely sat
i5factory to his employers. Mr..
Albert Lieber paid him very high
compliment in the presence of re-
porter this morning. Said be: "You
cannot say too much of George AL
well. He was one of the most ex-
emplary young men we ever had in
our employ. He was always
obliging TO customers, and watched
the interests of his employers

estimation there was not a better

1ah there be any question that If

wealth somewhere. 1t would seem ever
iastingiy persistent and problem beyond
our solution If there We're not surplus of

say we cannot rid the world of involuntary

all can have an equal chance at natural OPP
portunities. wealth will easily and salts
tactorily be distributed 1t is because the
land owner or non-producer exacts so
much in rent that there is little left for
the producer.
The best and simplest way TO bring
about this equality of chances is by the
single tax, by making it improbable for
any man TO hold land out of use. There
must be need of such system when In
one case alone practically half of Manhat-
tan island is housefess and our social re-
