SHOOTING AT MAMMOTH.


Mammoth Record: 1t was about 8
dents of Upper Mammoth We're startled
by the ringing out of three shots in
rapid succession in the direction of
james Browns saloon and soon an ex-
cited crowd had gathered around to
learn the cause.
1t appears that II. f.. Lee and Robert
Davis had been drinking in the saloon
when they engaged in a quarrel during
which Davis said that he would pick
out one of Lees eyes If he was not let
alone. Hot words We're passed when
one of the bystanders stepped between
them. Lee, 1t is said, struck at Davis
when the latter drew Il gun and fired
three shots in rapid succession. The
first shot entered Lees mouth and he
staggered back when the second shot
took effect above the ear. Lee then
fell over on the floor and the third shot
struck the lamp and landed in the cell
ing. Davis then pointed the gun down
at Lee but did not shoot again, but
put the gun In his pocket and rushed
out the back door. He/was con-
siderably excited and asked n friend
to take him In charge and he was taxi
en- upstairs in Mrs. Donahoue's store.
where he remained until the officers ar
rived to take him in charge. During
the scuflle Louis Hassel. who was
standing by the bar was knocked
down and narrowly escaped the bullets
In the meantime, Lee, who was I'M
conscious and bleeding profusely. was
picked up and placed on table and
DR.. Addleman was summoned. The
doctor removed one of the bullets from
the skull but no trace of the other
missile could be found. Lee insisted
that he spit the other bullet out. The
bullet which was removed was com
pletely flattened and would have passed
through the brain had not the weapon.
which was Al caliber Colts, been fired
at such close range. DIR. Field was
then summoned and took charge of the
patient, who was removed to his cabin.
When seen last evening Lee was con-
scious and resting easy and the chances
Tor his recovery are very favorable. He
says he is feeling sore but is confident
he will soon be out again.
Officers Sullivan and Cronin soon ar
rived from Eureka and took Davis
back with them and locked him in the
jail where he will await trial, which
will be set at n future time when the
result of the shooting will be better
known. Davis says he Is not sorry for
what he did and would do the same
thing again under the same circum-
stances, his only regret being for his
family which has been residing at Eu-
reka until recently. Several years ago
Davis was employed at the Mammoth
mine and is known to many of our old
timers,

This settled confidence In p7irr'

but rests in nearly every case o.. per
snnal use or acquaintance with men or
women who have been restored to use
full health by no other means. The
rapid change for the better in color,
flesh and expression of the face is so
unmistakable that repair Of the wasted
tissues might well be called n renewal
OF life.
The process by which Paine's celery
compound is able to build up health in

The heavy. alarming pain in the back

bright. buoyant feeling gradually takes
the place of that unending sense of tire

Paine's celery compound is the exact
remedy for that large class of feeble

With the new year came a religious

Lee Decliues a Reception.

WAsHINGTov, DC, Apr. 16.-Gsn-
eral FItzhugh Lee to-day declined
the honor of tae reception rendered
him. When the committee waited
upon him to day to receive his fual
decision he started his speech Of de-
clination in q characteristic man
ner. "Look here, boys" he said in
q matter of fact tone, II hav'nt done
q thing that either one of you, or
any American citizen would not
have done, and l don't see why
there should be any fuss made about
it. Now l dont't want you to think
I'm ungrateful, for am not, but l
have studied over the matter and l
feel satisfied that it would be better
not to have the reception. l don't
for an instant want anybody to think
that wish to put myself forward,
and must decline your moet kind

Oae of General Lees most itimate
friends said that one reason for his
not wanting the reception was that
he occupied n official poeition aud
felt . hesitancy in accepting any
formal demonstration on this &C

have bean certain that the subma-
rine explosive was placed there prior
to the entrance of the Maine into the
harbor. 1t might have been done af-
terwards. The Maine was anchored
to buoy by some little chain. A
vessel swinging around that way
sometimes gets at various places all
around the circle. When she would
swing off that way, with the bow
ne xt to the buoy and these boats ply
ing about the harbor all the time,
anybody could 60 pretty we'll in
front of her on dark night and drop
one of these submarine mines Of 500
pounds. They have fingers, as it
were, and as the boat goes around it
would touch the finger, which makes
contact and explodes the mine. That
might have been done after the
Maine got in there and not be discov-
cred. One or two men rowing quiet
ly in a boat could drop it off the stern
of the boat on q dark night, though
Sigsbee had his patrols out. A boat
would not have been noticed, be
cause boats 60 there always to late
hour of the night. The arbor is full
of these little boats. A mine weighs

man to row and probably three OF
four to handle the mine.

PATRIOTISM, COMMON SENSE AND
BUSINESS.

The Populistic City of south Milwaukee is
Going to Have it's Own Electric Plant
and That without Bonds.
M ilw aukee Advance.
Last Tuesday the city Of South
Milwaukee redeemed itself once
more. 1t has had a city council
two thirds of whom were pOpulists
but the mayor elected a year
ago was Republican. This year
the pOpulists nominated a candi-
date but his employers forced him
to decline the nomination. Mr.. H.
A. Ohm was nominated in his place
and elected and the council stands
as it did before, six POpulists to
two Republicans.
During the year the pOpulistic
council has made every effort to
secure municipal ownership of the
electric light plant and now that
the election has placed them again
in the saddle, the owners of the
plant are willing to sell to the city.
| This will mean better light for
less money and besides it will re
move a corrupting influence from
our city government.

The Southern Railroad files an ex-
Ception to the last reduction which it
says will amount to $4,000, though its
reports show that its increase of net
earnings last year over the year before
was 100000 and its total increase of
net earnings in one year was 1922 900
nearly two-thirds of million-yet
like Pharoah, it will not reduce thelpeO-
pies burdens even the finger nail of
$4,000. Its real fight Is to deny the
public right to control Pierpont Nor
San. The real issue in North CarOlI-
ma in the coming campaign is, shall
this man Morgan's combination of
London and New York bankers who
own our railroads continue to control
North Carolina, select its governors,
Judges and legislatures, or shall the
people control them? This is the is
sue which is to be settled by the peo-
pie of the State at its next election.

A TIMELY WARNING.

MIR. Caldwell, Chairman of the Cabarras
County Committee, in a Very Well Writ
ten and Patriotic Letter Warns POpulists
of a Danger Ahead in the Selection of
Delegates to the State Convention.
of 1898 is but the marshalling of all the
reform forces for the great battle OF
the ballot in 1900 which is to decide
the fate of the American people. The
address of Chairman Jones is trum-
pet call to the Democrats to rally
round the flag of financial reform. The
bugle blast of Butler has brought forth
the Populist phalanx eager 10 charge
the enemy and carry the banner Of
POpulism IN the forefront of the battle.
The tocsin of alarm has been sounded
and q vast army of free silver Repub
cans is rising In the West. In this
great contest of the masses against the
classes, in this struggle of the Ameri-
can people against the Rothschilds
and their allies, every patriot will do
his duty. Above the clash of party
and the clam0r of criticism is heard
the clarion call OF William j. Bryan,
| who, Saul-like, stands forth the ac-
knowledged leader, and like another
Bruce is the embodiment of the cause
| for which he contends.
The true POpulist has ever been
patriot, and the POpulists of North
Carolina have q vein Of patriotism
which must not be dimmed in the CON-
ing campaign. In our approaching
State Convention in Raleigh on the
18th day May the patriotism of the PeO-
Piles Party will be put to the test. Let
the voice of the people be heard in that
Convention and there can be no doubt
of the result. Let the will of the peo-
pie prevail in the campaign and trusts
will tremble in their str0ngh0lds. The
people are in no mood to be trifed with
and they will not tolerate the slightest
betrayal of Populist principles on the
part of any man or set of men. That
convention will be the most important
ever held in North Carolina. Not
only is the future of the Peoples party
in North Carolina At stake, bus the
success of patriotic cooperation
against the gold standard in 1900 will
depend upon the spirit of that Con-
vention. 1t is asserted that the enc
mics of financial reform are alive tO
the danger that threatens to annihi'
late them, and are seeking to SOW
seeds of discord in our ranks and en-.
deavoring to prevent any cooperation
of silver men IN this State. In this ef.
fort, if rulnor be true, they hope to &C.
