A. Goodson and j T. Cannon, presented
the church key to DR.. Scruggs in recog-
milton of the dedication of the building

comfortable country churches around

pie of that community.
The large number of visitors present
met with unbounded hospitality, and all
were cared for.

NONE ESCAPE HIM.
A Sheriff Who has "a Keen Eye for Bust
ness,

ness.
When Sheriff Horne of Webster county
starts out after volatOrs of the law they
had best give him wide berth or make
up their minds to answer for their trans
gressions. The sheriff seems to scent
criminals in the very atmosphere, and
picks them up at every turn.
Sheriff Horne boarded the Columbus
Southern train Thursday night for Daw-
son, Officer Arnett having arrested for
him Shelley Murray, a negro who was
wanted in that county. But when the
Webster official left Dawson next morn
ing he had thee prisoners instead of
one.
The train had not brought Sheriff Horne
many miles towards Da vsOn Thursday
night before he discovered that one of
the passengers was negro for whom he
had a warrant, and in less time than it
takes to tell it the culprit'S wrists were
decorated with iron bracelets. The re-
mainder of the trip to the city was made
without special incident but as the
sheriff, with his prisoner, stepped from
the platform of the train he recognized a
negro who was in the act of getting
aboard as another fugitive from his coun-
ty, and in jiffy the Strong hand of the
eagle-eyed officer was in the collar of
very much surprised son Of Ham.
Sheriff Horne brought both of his
men up town and left them as
guests of Jailer Slade until next morn
ing, when he returned home with trio
of prisoners and feeling highly satisfied
with the result of his trip.

who was wanted for burglarizing the
house of Bob Leve"ett, another negro, a

engaged in a cotillion when they laid
their hands upon him. There was con-
sternation among the dusky beaux and
damsels, and it was some time before the
festivities were resumed.

The Mount Lebanon Shakers recently
performed a great deed of charity, al
though it was not designed as charity,
being nothing mere nor less than an ad-
vertising scheme. 1t however, resulted
ia great good just the same. They gave
away 1000 bottles of the Digestive Cor
dial to those suffering from stomach de-
langements.
1t was so effective in curing those who
used the remedy that they were loud in
their praises Of it and in consequence a
demand for the cordial was at once Gre
ated.
The druggists of this town have slittle
books that tell all about it. Digestive
Cordial creates an appetite, aids diges-
ton and brings about rapid increase iE

Buffalo, March 21.-Clarence Rob
inson has been found guilty of mur-
der in the second degree, and his
wife, Sadie, of manslaughter, for the
killing of Montgomery Gibbs. Rob-
inson was sentenced TO prison for life
and Sadie for twenty years.
The case has been in court for more
than week and has been desperately
contested.
Clarence and Sadie Robinson were
indicted for murder of the first degree
for the killing of Montgomery Gibbs,
young lawyer, year ago.
Mr. Gibbs was walking alone up a
residence street boTdered with man
sions brilliant with lights about ten
o'clock in the evening. Suddenly
Gibbs was found dying from a bullet
wound in his head. He expired with
out uttering a word.
Rumors connected Gibbs's name
with some of the families in the vicini-
". and hints Of love affairs were rife,
much 10 the annoyance of many inno-
cent people. The theory that he
vas assailed by fOotpads was hardly
credited. His watch and money had
been untouched. He had no enemies,
as far as could be learned. Nobody had
seen the crime committed, and the
only person who claimed to have seen
2. o-a.fs
boys, who said they saw two men run
away from the spot where the firing
occurred. But the police were unable,
on experiment, TO see the same dis
tance under the same circumstances,
as the boys declared they did, so their
evidence was thought of little worth.
A reporter found what he thought
were the footprints Of woman near
the spot.
No arrests were made until several
months later, when The Buffalo police
received word from the police of Cleye-
land that they had Clarence Robinson
under arrest, and had wormed out
from his pals charge that he was i'm
plicated in a Buffalo murder. Assis
tant Superintendent Cusack, of the
Buffalo police, went to Cleveland and
"pinched" Robinson's wife, Sadie, who,
thinking that her husband was to be
charged with murder, confessed that
she killed Gibbs herself, but refused TO
give any details. Robinson, learning
that his wife was under arrest for the
Gibbs murder, made a clean breast of
the matter, telling how he and his
wife had gone out to hold up" some
body that night, Sadie being attired
as a man. Gibbs had resisted, and in
the tussle he had been shot.
The district attorney found the dis
guise which Sadie wore on the night
and other corroborative evidences. In
the trial Robinson and his wife both
declared they had made their confess
sions under duress and to save each
other, the police leading them to be-
lieve the confession of each would
save the other. This evidently had
considerable weight with the jury.

San Francisco, March 21.-Florence
BuckIin Byers has sued to compei
Frederick L. Macondray to recognize

Special to the Register.
Parkersburg, w. Va, March 21-
Mrs. Lille Wheeler, who is charged
with performing criminal operations
upon Anna Frye, was taken from jail
this afternoon for preliminary hear
ing. A plea of not guilty was made
by the defendant and motion entered
to postpone the trial until tomorrow,
as the defense desired TO get the depo-
sition of the Frye girl. Mrs. Wheeler
several times during the hearing broke
down and cried bitterly, and her state
ment on being arrested that she could
give bond for any amount did not
prove of much force, as the bond or
81 900 required by Justice Jones, could
not be given. Her attorneys asked
that she be allowed to give bond of
$500, and that q special constable be
appointed to guard her, but the request
was not granted and she was again
placed behind tie bars.
