Waynesboro True Citizen: A
COW that gives milk which change TO
butter without churning is a rare
thing. Lawson E. Brown Of Rozier,
this county, says he has one. When
the milk is strained of after milking
the cream which rises on it is very
thick, changes, or rather hardens
into the consistency of butter, and
it is used as butter without going
through the process of shurn;ng.
Such a cow is a valuable part Of the
housekeeping, as the churning oc>
cupics much time and labor. Mr..
Brown has been using this cream>
butter for several weeks.

Gov Rogg, of Texas, has brought
himself into notice throughout the
Union by a remarkable veto ne has
just made. The State Of Texas owns
large labor farm, worked by cons
victs which produced last year about
million pounds of sugar. The
Legislature passed an act authorize
ing the Governor to apply to Con-
gress Tor the bounty on this sugar,
which amounted to about $4,000.
The Governor promptly vetoed the
act on the ground that Congress had
no more right to give Texas boun.
ty on sugar than it had TO give her
a bounty on chickens, and that Tex
as needed no assistance in farming.

Sheriff Burnett, of Campbell County,
Tenn. Killed by a Desperate Prisoner.
Terrible Battle ON a X. g. q. Passenger
Train.-The Murderer Lynchesl.
A horrible tragedy occurred on a
knoxville Il Ohio train, near New
comb, in which sheriff John Burnett,
of Campbell county, Tenn, was
killed, deputy sheriff John Dale
probably fatally shot, Crusoe Smith
MORALLY wounded and Jesse Jones
sustained serious injuries. The
tragedy occurred on the morning Of
the 18th, just before daylight.
The sheriff and his deputy had gone
from Jellico to Jacksboro to ar
rest miner by the name of Jesse
Jones, on charge of carrying con-
cealed weapons:
Just before day they discovered
that Jones was in hiding on the same
train. The sheriff arrested him, and
while searching him he and his dep
uty were attacked with pistols and
Winchester rifles by several of Jones
friends. The battle was short, but
terrible in it's results. The sheriff
was instantly killed, a 3S-calibre
bullet piercing his brain and another
entering his body near the heart.
Deputy sheriff Dale had opened
fire upon the murderous assailants,
but was overpowered and rushed to
the back door of the smoker and
thrown off.
After throwing Dale from the
train. three of the desperadoes-Jes-
se Jones, Crusoe Smith and all old
man by the name of Smith-jumped
from the moving train IN order to
make their escape.
The train was stopped as soon as
possible and run back to where Dale
was thrown off. He was found wan
lering about the woods, near the
W.
track. in a dazed condition. His
senses gradually returned, and it was
found that he had been shot in the
temple, receiving very serious
wound.
Crusoe Smith and Jones were
found near the same place, apparent
" dead; but they soon returned to
consciousness. Jones, the prisoner.
was found to have broken arm
with serious injuries about the head.
Crusoe Smith was in critical con-
dition, having been shot in the
breast and stomach and his right
arm broken. What became OF old
man Smith is not known.
Deputy Dale recovered sufficiently
