A CoLoRED DEPUTY
Shot And Killed in Row At
Memphis.

Special to the Leaf Chronicle.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, Aug. 1l.-An'
drew Olesby, a colored deputy
sheriff, was shot and killed in 9
suburb of Memphis Tuesday night,
by Gus Ayers, a negro whom Oglesby
was attempting to arrest for wife
beating. Ayers beat the officer in q
frightfuI manner; and then taking his
pistol away from him, shot him
through the body. A crowd of blacks
attempted to take Ayers prisoner,
but he stood them off with the mur.
dered mans pistol and made his es-
cape. The sheriff of the county will
appoint no more negro deputies, as
the people of their race do not respect
their authority as they do that OF
white officers. The consequence has
been number of serious conflicts
where arrests were attempted.

GOSSIP FROM GUTHRIE
A Correspondent Writes About
The Wheat Crop.
Few Pointers For Farmers who Are
Not in the Habit Of Calculating
Profit and Loss.
Special Correspondence Leaf -Chroniole.l

Special Correspondence Leaf Chronicle.l
GUTHRIE, Aug. 1l.-This week
will about wind up the long drawn
out wheat threshing, and threshing
it has proved; it beats any crop for
years. Although the price per bushel
is not remunerative, the number OF
bushels per acre will go far toward
making up the shortage. Twenty
bushels to the acre, on good land, is
almost the universal yield around
here, and on extra good, it is more.
"Cold and dry for wheat and rye,"
an old saying, shows the present crop
to have been made in the face of un-
precedented conditions.
Hearing a number of practical
farmers discuss the cost and profits of
this crop, few gathered points may
prove of interest. One, small farm
er and good manager, said that his
crop consisted OF eleven acres in good
land, that yielded two hundred and
eighteen bushels clean wheat. Count
ing piice of wheat when sown last
fall, rent of land and every outlay un-
til in sacks ready to deliver,
the cost per acre amounted to
$3.50 He would reserve a
hundred bushels for bread and seed,
ana sell balance. 1t is easy to see he
would get his money back and a
small margin. This is merely given
as pointer to those who are not in
the habit of calculating "loss and
gain;" and OF course each season
varies, according to yield and price,
and there is more profit in big crop
than a small one.
The most interesting thing of the
season was little folks fancy party
given by Miss Bessie Rogers, daugh.
ter of A. T. Rogers, at Grants Hotel.
The airy fairies, boy blues, pinks,
clover leaves, sailor boys, peasant
girls, Egyptian maidens were too
many and beautiful to par
ticularize, and refreshments and
flowers in profusion and the rarest.
Misses Allie Rogers and Annie
Mimms showed happy tact in lead
ing the little folks in their games.

SCALPERS In GLEE.
They Get Hold of all the Cheap
Tickets They Want.
Than Has Ever Been Known Be-
fore in Louisville.


Special to the Leaf-Chroniclel
LOUISVILLE, August 1.-THE
scalpers may well be in high glee
these days. They have had no trouble
in getting hold of all the cheap tick
cts they want. But their high spirits
now are nothing to what they will
be when tickets from Southwestern
points to the Grand Army encamp-
ment at Washington 70 on sale. The
impending Decentralization of agree
ments is another action of j. 4. Lock-
wood, General Passenger Agent OF
the Kansas City, Fort Scott and
Memphis, whose stubtornness mas
killed the Memphis Passenger Asso-
citation. He has issued a circular to
G. A. r. people announcing that for
the encampment his line will use
non signature form OF tickets, with
out transit limit, the only restriction
being final limit
This action will, of course, cause
the other lines in the Southwestern
territory to meet the conditions. A
complete decentralization Of passenger
business Is bound to come. The
tickets not requiring signature, any
one may purchase them and sell the
return tickets TO brokers, who will
make considerable money by the
sale of them to Western travellers.
Fortunately for Louisville roads
the decentralization is not likely to
extend into this territory, though
some Of the roads having an entrance
here will be affected. The rate
adopted from Louisville will remain.

FIFTEEN CENTS A WEEK
1T IS SAID
That Jno. Allen, Of Clarksville. In in the
Race For Congress.

One of the political rumors afioat Is
to the effect that Farmer John Allen,
of Montgomeryeounty, will be a can
, didate for Congress In this district.
IL is furthermore said that should
Mr.. Allen announce himself he will
receive the Republican support. Mr..
Allen is bright, genial man ana a
good farmer, but he is not likely to
go to Congress soon.
The above is from the Banner and
is reproduced for its humor. Jno.
Allen was at one time pretty good
farmer, but when he got into the Al
lance and later into politics, he
quit farming for living and now re-
sides in brown.stone front out on
Greenwood avenue. He occupie s
the same position to Clarksville that
John Henry Mcdowell does to Nash
Vile. That is, he is the flash pan
agent here, and as the duties of this
office do not require more than two
hours of his time per week, he has
ample opportunity to make Third
party speeches over the district. Jno.
Allen is just in the fight for the fun
there is in it. He knows he stands
but little chance to beat Joe Wash
ington for Congress, and he further
knows that, should he accidentally
step into the Office, he would not
know what disposition to make OF
his hat when he got to Washington.
No, he will not 60 to Washington

THE BURSTING OF A SAND BOX.
Danger Lurked in an Innocent Pod Which
Wrought Much Damage.

Wrought Much Damage.
| Bolten had spent the winter wandering
among the West India islands, and when
he got back had medley of curiosities
which he had picked up in his travels.
Among them were all sorts of beans and
pods of tropical trees, and of the former
were John Crow beans, the wary, the
horse eye, Jobs tears and many others
There were the long scabbardlike pods Of
the crimson lowered acassia; cocoa pods,
which ratified with the dried chocolate
seeds inside them, and he also had two
pods of the sand box tree, curious circular
storehouses for the seeds, deeply ribbed,
each rib running from top to bottom of the
pod These two latter received places of
honor In lacquer trays, the smaller beans
finding room around them. Bolten is a
natty man, and on his mantelshelf in his
bedroom were arranged these treasures
presided over by four statuettes of nude
goddesses.
The vegetable ornaments of the shelf
were the most innocent looking things
imaginable, and he never dreamed for q
moment that nature was still busy bring
ing to perfection those sand boxes. He had
gone to bed after hard days work and
was sleeping the sleep of the just when he
was awakened by what he thought was a
plstoi shot IN MS room' At the same Time
missiles were nylng al around. AS ne
jumped out OF ped TO llght the gas there
was second explosion, ana thls tlme ne
was peppered with all sorts of missiles.

for some time, swearing In undertones,
but AFRAID to give LOUD expression to his
pent up feehngs lest there mght Dc an
other tuslllade.
At last, like cat walking over hot
bricks, he reached the jet and lighted the
gas. The treasures OF the mantelpiece
were scattered about the room. The god
desses had been hurled from their high
places and looked like Roman remains,
headless and armless. The lacquer trays
were in small pieces, while the pods and
beans were scattered all over the room.
The goblet had even been broken, and the
water was standing in puddles about the
carpet. The sand boxes had vanished. He
searched around carefully. There was no
trace, SO far as he could see, of the cause
of the explosions. He gathered up his
broken and scattered treasures, finding
among them segments of the sand boxes.

KING In THE PEN.
A Mob, However, Rushed Him
Out From Memphis.
Indignant Citizens Hang Gov Buchanan
In Efigy and Then Burn the Dunn
my on the Streets.

Special to the Leaf-Chronicle.
NASHVILLE, Aug. 11.-Sheriff Nc
Lendon arrived here from Memphis
this morning, having in charge the
murderer, FL. Clay King He was
fleeing from the fury of a Memphis
mob which wanted to hang his pris-
oner. After they left Memphis ru-
NOR was circulated that mob would
hang King at Mckenzie, and the
sheriff branched off with his prisoner,
going to Nortonville, Ky. They reach
ed here over the Southeastern road.
They were met at the dedot here
by Kings wife and daughters, who,
with the sheriff and the prisoner,
went to the penitentiary In carriage.
King was there turned over to the
proper officers and for tho present, at
least, is safe.
King talked very little on the way
here from Memphis. He said, how
ever, that he wanted it understood
that he was not running from a mob.
Sheriff McLendon has it on good
authority that King, when he was
not hanged, said: "I'd see Buchanan
in HI before / would ask him to
pardon me-"
The cause of this speedy action on
the part of the officers at Memphis
is due to the fact that the people Of
that city are very indignant and that
there were strong indications last
night of a rope walk. The papers of
that city yesterday morning came
out with scathing editorials denounc-
ing the action of Governor Buchanan
in committing the sentence. These
editorials created great excitement
and mass meeting was called for
last night. Judge DuBose in the
meantime gave orders to have King
removed to Nashville Immediately,
as he deemed it unsafe for the prison
er to be kept in Memphis. Conse
quently the sheriff left with his pris-
oner secretly last evening. The way
he reached Nashville is told by the
above special.
The mass-meeting assembled last
night, however, after hanging an
effigy of Gov. Buchanan to telegraph
pole on one of the principal streets of
the city, fred the dummy and
watched it burn. There was talk of
mobbing the murderer, but the news
being received that he had been
taken from the city, quiet reigned.
The general verdict throughout the
country seems to be that the action
of Governor Buchanan in saving the
neck of the prisoner was a crime
more damnable than the murder of
Poston. 1t was an outrage on justice,
and will have demoralizing effect
on society and good government.
