he put up at the Wyoming house, and
that late in the evening he was found
dead in the alleyway near the Gearhart
coal pockets under circumstances that
strongly pointed to murder. Harding,
who Is proprietor of the Wyoming
house, testified that Waterman put up
at his house, that he became visibly
intoxicated during the day, and that
early in the evening he left the house
still in the same condition; that Bert
Pratt and Wescott became apparently
alarmed for his safety when he did not
return at bedtime and started out to
hunt him up. About 1890 they came
in and announced that they had found
him out in the alley and he was dead.
Harding took an engineers torch and
went out to see about it, nd without
waiting to investigate whether the
man was actually dead, ran to DR..
Bidleman's office and aroused him. The
latter went over and examined the man
and found him dead. Harding testified
as to the position of the body, which
was lying with the head next the stone
embankment that supports the inclined
railroad tracks leading up into the coal
chutes the feet stretched out into the
roadway, the hat clasped between the
legs. He also testified to a conversa-
ton with Fred Wall which occurred
next day, in which Fred said 81 un-
derstand they say l had something to
do with this murder?" "Yes," replied
Harding. i've heard it intimated that
you might have had something to do
with it. 81 don't see why they should
say such things as that; / didn't have
anything to do with him." said Wall
We'll" replied Harding, "you was with
Bert Pratt last evening, and they seem
to think he had something to do with
1t, and SO they suspicion you" Asked
by an attorney If Wall didn't say that
he could put his hand on the man that
did it, he replied that he wasn't Just
sure whether he said that, but he
thought he said he believed he knew
who did it, but he couldn't swear to it.

Before accepting your kind

You know everything is
much cheaper here and more
up to date than around your

you have any change, l should
advise you to invest it in
SPRING CLOTHING for
yourself and the boys. There
is a store here called "THE

avenue, where l bought a suit
very cheap. You will be sur
prised to hear that l paid only
$500 for it. Cents furnish
ing goods can also be bought
there for half the amount that
you would pay in Farmville.
Let me know by return of
mail just what you want. and
l shall be glad to accommo-
date you. With love to Lydia,

which her good voice and clear diction

more, if possible, than last week. Delaur
and Debrimont, the excellent operate
singers, are filling the second week of
their engagement. They are still suffer

TOOK HIM FOR A CONJURER
Rev. Hugh Massey Is Reviled BY His
Own Son
His Powerful Grip Swelled His Daughter-in-
M Laws Arm and the Family Rstallstsd
m With an Ak

The Rev. Hugh Massey 10. an ancient
looking colored preacher who dispenses
the gospel according to his lights in the
vicinity of Downey, and some of the other
negroes in that neighborhood claim that
he is not only powerful at exhorting. but
that he "kin frow spells dat am bodacl-
ouslv strong"
Here is an example of his potency which
terminated in rumpus: Rev. Massey
called upon his son Erasmus Massey, who
abides with his wife Mile, in the house
of Mrs. Caroline Smith, her mamma.
This was several days ago. Preacher
Massey shook hands with his daughter
in-law, and after he left her arm began
to swell up and ever since she has had
to keep it poulticed
Mrs. Caroline Smith held that Papa
Rasmus had ''conjurated" the girl.
Erasmus not only believed his mother,
in.Iaw and his wife when they accused
his old father of the conjuring process,
but he grew violently wroth against his
venerable progenitor. The trio proposed
to make it warm for the old man. II ne
dared call again.
Last Thursday, the Rev. Hugh Massey
came trotting along on his way to the
his go-to-meetin' language for the auspi-
eious occasion, when he was bfound,,
cd to see sallying out of the front yard
his own olive branch armed with an ak
and the rest of his family sporting war
clubs. -,
"Yes, you did; yes, you did, :"
screamed Erasmus to his papa. You
coniurated my Mile; sure if 20 dom T
keep away from this establishment we will
mash your durn old head. You're com.
ing now to shake Miles left hand and
conjurate her some more if you can. You
go away. see, mighty quick, sir, before
we kill you"
The Rev. Hugh Massey was so scared
at this unexpected sortie that he made
all haste to escape the unpleasant recep-
ton promised him by his own dear rel
atives. He ran hot foot to the Justice
of the Peace and unfolded to him such
. tale that Judge Phillips had no hesita..
ton in issuing a warrant for the arrest OF
the two ladies and Erasmus, who were
charged with assault with a deadly wea-
pom upon old Massey their intent being
there and then to kill him.
Deputy District Attorney Willis went
down to Downey yesterday to prosecute
the case and found nothing before the
court. The Rev. Hugh Massey had col
lected his shattered sense and concluded
that threat was not an assault. He did
not show up to prosecute and the case
was ordered dismissed.
