criminal career of note was terminated
here to-day in the death of one James
Stick, who confessed before dying that
his real name was James Hicks, and
that he was from Troy, N. Y. Stick

amputation and after his leg had been
cut off Hick tore the bindings off his
wound and struggled until he died from

ate but good-looking man, he confessed
having committed various desperate
deeds, saying he preferred to die rather
than to be held to answer for them.

GAbLATIN, TENN, Feb. l7.-William
Carter, eldest son of John r. Carter, we'll
known farmer and blooded horse dealer,
was shot about o'clock last evening and
killed, BY Edward Il. Turpin, resident of
this place.
Turpin called Carter a vile name when
Carter walked toward him. As he got
with few yards Of Turpin, and after a
few words, the latter fired at him, it is said
through his overcoat pocket where he had
his revolver concealed, the ball blowing
into the pavement. Carter turned to escape
when Turpin fired into his back, and as
Carter ran shot him again in the back.
Three shots were in rapid succession fired
and at the last report Carter fell forward
on the street. He died in about 20 minutes.
Turpin was Immediately taken to Jail.
The killing is almost universally regarded
as one of the most cowardly murders that
have ever taken place in this country.

Owing TO the stand taken recently by the
railroads i'll the MISUNDERSTANDING from
the recent strikes on several roads-aganst
the telegraph operators who are members
Of the Order of Railway Telegraphers, and
the quiet dismissal from the services of
the roads of number of the men who
participated in the strike. the members of
that organization in this part of the coun.
try are somewhat disturbed over circular
lately sent out by one of the trunk lines to
their telegraph operators. This circular
requests the operators to truthfully answer
the same, stating whether or not they are
members of that branch of the Federation
of Labor. great many members of the
order think that this is looking towards an
attempt on the part of the railroad com
panies to blot out of existence the organi-
cation OF the operators.
