SHELBYvILLE, Ind, Aug. 1.-City Mar
shall Bruce, with a warrant in his posses
sion charging one Babe Hawkins with
carrying concealed weapons, is searching
for him in the highways and byways
around about Shelbyville. If he succeeds
in finding Mr. Hawkins that individual
in all probability will be lynched.
Hawkins is a brother of the Charlie Haw-
kins who, after dangerously shooting Mar
shall Bruce Aug. %, 1891, was hanged by
a mob. Among other personal property
on the body of Charlie Hawkins which
then fell into the hands of the officers was
n pistol.
Couldn't Lose Such Good Chance.
This pistol Babe Hawkins demands shall
be returned to him as the rightful heir of
his brother. Saturday he came to town
with three revolvers fastened to his belt
and, meeting Marshal Bruce in the street,
demanded the revolver. He was met with
"A firm refusal. and townspeople interfer-
ing was driven off. warrant was issued
for his arrest. This warrant is the one
Marshal Bruce is now endeavoring to
serve. The former affair is fresh in the
minds of the people of Shelbyville, and
should Babe Hawkins be captured he will
probably be sent to join the man whose
revolver he so much covets.

HORRIBLE FALL OF AN AERoNAUT.
He Falls 5000 Feet and Is Driven Ten
Feet Into the Ground


Feet Into the Ground
ST. PAUL, Aug. 1.-Five thousand peo-
pie at Inver Grove, just south of the city,
were the Mortified spectators yesterday of
a terrible fall to death of Professor Hobe,
the aeronaut. When the balloon reached
the usual altitude Hobe could be seen
tugging at the valve cord, which would
not work. Before he could manipulate it
the balloon was at least 5000 feet above
the earth.
The Parachute Wouldn't Open.
In the regular way he cut the parachute
and shot rapidly earthward, but to the
horror of the crowd the parachute did not
expand, and the unfortunate seronaut fell
like shot toward the ground. So great
was the force of the fall that he was driven
into the soft ground to a depth of ten feet,
and instantly killed. 1t required the work
of an hour TO reach the body, and death
had occurred long before.

THAT EXPOSITION.

Public sentiment is solidifying in
favor of big exposition to celebrate
Roanoke's tenth anniversary. The
time is short and we must get to work.
The magnificent possibilities of tho
scheme will all be developed during the
coming week. meeting will be held
Tuesday evening at the courthouse to
discuss the matter moro fully.
1t is going to cost money to do it right,
but for every dollar expended five will
be returned to Roanoke in immediate
benefits. There are 100000 people in
Southwest Virginia who are deeply and
closely interested in Roanoke's pros
perity. These are the people who will
be the main support of tho proposed ex
position. No inconsiicrablc portion OF
them will find q way to attend the ex-
position.
The first need is for the people of
Roanoke to thoroughly realize what
first. class exposition will do for Roa-
noke. In sentence, it will start a
legitimate business boom unparalleled
in the history of the city. Now absorb
that idea and work out its details TO
your own satisfaction.
Are you ready to coo operate, good
reader? Then get in line and lift the
idea along when the word is given.
