Several of our late exchanges
have mentioned the fact that a wo-
man named Cora Hubbard has
been sentenced TO the Missouri pen
itentiary for term of twelve years.
Cora was engaged in bank rob.
berry at Pineville, Mo-, last August,
being at the time dressed in mems
clothing. Marshal Gill has had
considerable experience with this
same woman, having her in Jail
here on two different occasions.
Mac arrested her one night, but she
"broke away" and Ben Patton was
depu,ized to run her down, which
he did.

A WICKED STAB.

Sunday evening about $50 o'clock
while Dennis Brown and party of
friends were standing on the corner
of Third and Main streets, a colored
man by the name of Ward came up
to Brown and stabbed him in the
lower part of the abdomen. on the
left side. Brown then hit Ward
and knocked him down, and as soon
as he could regain his feet he ran
around into the alley and hid, but
was found Immediately afterward
by Policeman Kehrer, arrested and
taken to the county Jail to await
preliminary hearing. Friends OF
Mr.. Brown claim that the deed was
done without the slightest provo
cation whatever; that the negro had
drinking and started out to sub.
stantiate the fact that he was bad
man.
The other side of the story is that
Brown and his friends had been
drinking heavily all day, and that
he assaulted the negro first, by
knocking him down. OF course
these are things which will have to
be determined at the trial. We pub
lish them for what they are worth.
After the cutting Brown was con
veyed to the home of his sister, Mrs.

and Drs. Payne and John Allen

The doctors did all in their power
to allay the poor mans sufferings,
but they do not entertain the leas'
possible hope for his recovery.-Ga.
