Again the Farmer.

DELAWARE, ONO, June 3.-Arvills
Hamilton, who, until recently, wa,
the owner Of a good farm in Concord
Township, is now anxiously waiting
for some other man to come along and
claim it. Some time ago man giving
his name as Rowlin, and claiming Ia
be brother of Representative Rowlin,
OF Stark county, came through this
county selling syrup, He represented
to Hamilton that he was an agent OF
Charles M. Jackson, a Toledo real es.
tate dealer, from whom he showed a
bogus power Of attorney. Hamilton
WIS persuaded TO exchange his farm,
which is encumbered with a mortgage
for 50 acres Of land in Crawford coun-
ty, Mich. When his deed was sent on
to be recorded, Hamilton was notified
that there were back taxes due on the
land, He then sent on the money,
but was informed that meanwhile the
taxes had been paid and a deed for
the land recorded by party from Illi-
nois. The matter was investigated
and the whole deal was found to be a
fraud. The deed for Hamilton's farm
was turned over to the stranger with
no name inserted as grantee, and by
this time has probably been turned
over to some other victim.

MlddlesbOrO TragedY.

KNOXVILLE, June A special from
Middlesboro, Kyn says: Andy John
son and James Horn killed each other
in street duel at Wasista, a hamlet
ten miles from here Saturday night
johnson was aPineville policeman and
was attempting to arrest Horn when
the shooting occurred.
Johnson was one OF the most noted
characters in Southeastern Kentucky.
He had killed eight men and two
women. While at church one Sunday
morning several years ago the citizens
at Pineville were startled by the crack
of rifle. 1t was soon known thatJohn-
son had attacked Lep Hopkins on bis
way to church. He kept shooting un-
til Lep, his brother, Levi, a woman
and little girl were killed. He was
acquitted and soon joined the Metho.
dist church and became an exhorter
but soon returned to his evil ways.
The country is full Of Johnsons, and
this may lead to another feud.

Blow to the Railroad.

CHATTANOOGA, June 4.-Several
weeks ago W. ]. Colburn filed an in
junction bill to restrain the county
from issuing bonds in the sum OF $780,.
900 to the proposed Chattanooga Wes-
tern Railway for the purpose of build.
ing bridge across the Tennessee Riv.
er at this point, Colburn claimed that
the county had no right to issue such
bonds unless by the authority of the
voice Of the people through the ballot
box. The case has been hanging fire
until today, when Special Chancellor
Eakin sustained the injunction. This
is a serious blow to the Chattanooga
Westerns plans, and unless it can get
the majority of the people to consent
in an election to the issuance OF the
bonds it is hardly probable that either
bridge or railway will ever be built.

UNDER ARREST
John Stanley and Clarence Cox AC.
cused Of Numbering SnOdderIy.
The Union County Murder Mystery
About to Be Cleared Up.

KNOXVILLE, June 4.-John Stanley
and Clarence Cox, charged with the
murder Of Squire Henry snodderly
and his aged wife in Union county on
the night Of February S last, were
brought to Knoxville today and jailed.
The murder was one of the most cruel
ever recorded in the criminal annals
OF Tennessee.
Sam Quinn, grandson Of the old
couple, was in the house at the time
OF the double murder. He was sus-
pected Of the crime and arrested, but
afterwards released on account of in.
sufficient evidence against him.
The identity Of the murderers re-
mained mystery for several weeks,
when suspicion was directed toward
Cox and Stanley. A reward Of $400
for their arrest and conviction was Of
fered, 5000 by relatives and 5000 by
the governor. The officers located the
men about five weeks ago in Webb
vile, KY, but they escaped arrest.
The sheriff Of this county and John
G. Cox, father of the suspect bearing
that name, had consultation about
the matter. Cox promised to surren-
der the men to him, provided he was
paid the reward, which he wished to
use in securing counsel for them.
This was agreed TO, and three weeks
ago the accused men returned TO the
Eighteenth district OF this county,
where they remained in hiding until
this morning, when they we're march
ed to Knoxville under guard OF four
men.
Thepair deny committing the crime,
but circumstantial evidence is against
them. They went from Tennessee TO
Kentucky, and from there to Illinois.
While in Kentucky, Stanley says, he
first heard that he was wanted for the
crime. He wanted to return and give
himself up, but was prevented from
doing so by letter from his wife,
which said that he would be lynched
when caught.
Stanley is thirty-two years old and
miner; Cox is twenty, and has
always worked on farm. Able coun.
sci has been appointed TO defend
them and developments are anticipat-
ed with interest.
