THE BOYER MURDER.
What the Accused Son Has to Say-Accu-

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, March I7-Wash-
.ngton Boyer, who is in jail here
charged with killing his father was in
tervied Wednesday. He refuses to talk
further than to declare his innocence
aud to say that he thinks his father was
murdered by n gang of men at the
Moore woman's house. He says that
his father had 81. 800 on his person
when he left; that he accompanied him
to the depot, but that the old man came
back and went to the Moore woman's
house, where he was killed. two.
thousand word special Wednesday night
from Newport contains an exhaustive
history of the crime and capture. 1t
seems to be pretty clearly established
that Washington Boyer killed his
father They had quarreled because
the old man was spending all his time
with the woman Josie Moore 1t is
mistake that young Boyer was pay
ing court to this woman, also. There
is also every reason to believe that the
mother of Washington and wife of the
murdered man knew all about the
crime.

To-An Outrageous Crime i'm Tennessee.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, March 19-The
family of Mrs Melrose, consisting of
herself and five children, David, Robert,
Minnie, Matte and Katie. were poi
soned Thursday night at supper The
accident was thought to be slight
to each until Friday morning early.
when two of the girls, Matte and
Katie, aged respectively seventeen
and fifteen. died, and in the afternoon
Minnie died. The mother is expected
to die at any momnet
Robert Melrose, the son and brother,
hardened young tough, who is under
arrest, is also unconscious. The
physician testified that he found FIVE of
the family sick Thursday night, but
there were no indications that the boy
Robert was sick. II is believed that
the boy awakening to the awfulness
of his crime Friday morning took a
heavy dose of arsenic to escape arrest
and punishment. The coffee drank by
the family had been dosed heavily, and
the boy Robert, who was n habitual
coffee drinker refused to touch it Fri
day night. The coroner's jury still
has the case in hand and will use
every means to trace the heinous deed
down. Another theory advanced was
that. as the coffee had been bor-
rowed from neigh Dor, this might ex-
culpate the boy, but the fact that he
had drank the arsenic with the inten-
ton of suicide is evidence against him.
He is wild, rowdy youth, given to ex-
cessive drink, and if he RECEIVERS and
the deed is fastened upon him, he will
probably be strung up without trial.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, March 10
The sequel of an Enoch Arden story
with variations is just being written in
the form of sensational and most
singular suit for damages. Briefly
told. the romance in real life is as fol-
lows: John Quinby, union soldier,
was badly wounded in the battle
of Chickamauga, few miles
from here, in 1868, and left in a
temporary hospital in n log cabin on
the field. During his convalescence he
became enamored of a confederate sup
posed war widow, one Mrs Dooley,
and after his term of service expired he
returned and was married to her. Four
teen years later her first husband re-
turned. Dooly. for S2s in cash
surrendered his claim to his
wife and n COW. and left
early in the sixties and went his way
alone Quinby accumulated consider
able real estate which the increase in
values made valuable. A couple of
years since he made to his wife deed
of his land in what is now Chicba maui
ga park. Dooley in some way learned
these facts, took legal advice and
was advised by an attorney that
as the woman in the case was
his (Dooley's) spouse-in-law the prop
erty in question was clearly his, and he
has come back to enter suit for the
land. Quinby has recovered his mental
balance, and win fight to the end of the
law for the woman he bought and the
land he earned.

All People do Not Have the san.e Idess
Respecting Them.
The terms employed by the people of
one nation as the choicest phrases in
their vocabulary of endearment arC
often employed for quite the opposite
purpose by other people. One of the
most familiar and most coveted phrases
of endearment among the French, for
instance, is my little pigs" and my
little puppy dog" is also much appro-
ciated.
When n French husband calls his wife
"a cat she does not fly into a passion
of resentment, rs an English-spealing
wife might do under the same circum-
stance, but takes it as n gentle compile
ment
On the other hand, II he were 10 call

might his wife, she would be very much

Not long ago, in Germany, letters
written by the late Count Won Moltks
to his betrothed were published II
these the great soldier frequently
called the lady my little kernel Of
coffee"
This strikes one as a very queer pet
name, and has suggested to a cynical
authority that, in view of the writer's
character and profession, my little
grain Of powder" or my little lump
of lead would have been more appro-
pirate.
In England "moppet'' and "mopsey"
are favorite terms OF endearment for
little girls and swcethearts. Both Of
these words signifed. originally. a

There is an eX-State senator in
Beaver Head county who owns a
very rich mine, the ore yielding 500
to the ton net. He is a California
"Forty-niner, who came as
prospector to Montana, and since
discovering his mine has lived upon
it in a peculiar way. He has no
faith in banks. He saws his money
is safest in the ground. When he has
spent what money he has, he takes
out wagon-load of ore, ships it to
Omaha, sells it, and lives on the
return until he needs another wagon
load
There is queer story concerning
the Spotted Horse Mine, in Fergus
county. 1t was found by P. A. Nc
Adow, who sold it to Governor
Hauser and A. NJ. Holder for $780,
900 three years ago. They paid a
large sum down in cash, and the
other payments were to come out of
the ground. The ore was in pockets,
each of which was easily exhausted.
| Whatever was taken out went to
| Meadow, who got about 500, 900.
! Then the purchasers abandoned 1t,
on the advice of experts, and MIR.
Meadow took hold of it. He found
the vein, over which rails had been
laid for a mining car. He has taken
out 100000, and it is still good
mine. One of these children of luck
came to Helena with money, picked
out wife, who was then a poor
seamstress, hired a hotel, and invited
the town to the wedding. The
amount of champagne that flowed
at that wedding was fabulous, and
it is said that the whole town reeled

AN oBLIG1NG MOUNTAIN LION.

Ex-Lieut-Gov. John Daggett of
Black Bear, in the heart of Siskiyous,
who is here, was recounting the other
day what variety of wild game there
was in that section. Black bear,
deer, mountain lion, and other ami
mails, besides the finest trout, he said,
were in abundance.
"Deer are not allowed to be killed
now" he continued. "Still if a man
were out of meat and needed some
for his family, probably he would not
be interfered with. A young man at
Black Bear had singular experience
a few days ago. He had gone forth
with his gun, when, hearing a rust
ling in the bushes, he raised his
weapon to fire and saw just before
him the body of deer freshly killed.
At the same moment mountain
lion disappeared like a flash in the
bushes. He walked up and there
found the deer. 1t had just been
killed, was eaten only about the neck
and shoulder, and was yet warm
He picked itup and carried it home. y
