A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.
Dorsey Wolfe Killed by a Dis
charge of His Rife Near
Bruceton.

He was out Hunting when the Accident
Occurred and his rifle Caught on
twig.-Did not Live but Il Few min
utes after the Accident Occurred.
Ball went through his watch aud then
through his Heart-He is the son of
l., Ii. Wolfe, a Very Prominent man.
Funeral on Sunday.
Friday morning Dorsey Wolfe was
shot and instantly killed near Bruce
ton. He was hunting with Hosea
Collins when the accident occurred.
1t was caused by the trigger of his gun
catching on twig and becoming dis
charged He was some distance from
Collins when the report was heard
and Collins saw him fall to the ground.
Running up he was just in time to
catch the wounded man who soon
breathed his last. He did not speak
and how the accident occurred could
only be guessed at.
The rifle which caused his death
was thirty-eight, and the ball tore
fearful hole in the young mans side.
Before t entered him it went through
d heavy watch in his pocket and then
penetrated the upper part Of his heart
tearing it all to pieces. Dr.. j. f.
Beddow, of Bruceton, was called, but
of course nothing could be done,
However he probed for the ball in or
der to ascertain its course The ball
had entered between the fifth and sixth
ribs and ranged to the right after
passing through the heart. The probe
was sent in for six inches or more but
the bullet could not be located. 1t is
some where in the right side. The
deceased was very well known and
popular young man, the son of L. IL.
Wolfe, a very prominent man of Bruce
ton. He was only seventeen years
old The affair has caused great
sensation in the neighborhood OF the
young mans home.
The funeral will occur on Sunday
and the interment will take place in
the cemetery near Bruceton, and the
indications are that the affair will be
attended by an immense crowd IF
friends of the deceased.

a man named Gutherie suddenly and
mysteriously disappeared from King

been murdered and his family be-
lieyed he had lost his mind. The
anxious AID loving wife waited
patiently, day by day, for tidings from
the absent father. None came: as
she turned towards the setting sun
each day. hope was born a anew that
he might come on the morrow. Three
children or more had to be cared for
and the deserted wife fought many a
brave battle for their daily bread.

wrote to Sherman.
A reconciliation followed, 1t is said,
and the family have been united.

EXECUTIVE SESSION.
Teller Advocated the Ratification of
the Treaty.

Washington, February 7.-Sepator Teller
(Colo.) occupied the entire four hours OF
today'S executive session in the senate in
discussing the Hawaiian annexation treaty.
He advocated the ratification of toe treaty
basing his reasons for this position upon
the grounds that the Annexation of the
islands was in the interest of our commerce
and in l,ne with our National policy fos
the past hall century. With the fierce
Struggle that was about to begin sin The
Orient for the possession OF the new tea
ritory among the European powers it Was
indeed short sighted man, he stated. who
would contend That Hawaii, occupying 20
important location as II does in the mid
die OF the great Pacific ocean, would be lett
untouched by some of the land grabbing
nations OF the old world. Under the pres
circumstances IT was absurd for this gov
ernment to try to maintain a system of
control without taking actual possession.
Mr. Teller also discussed the contention
that the Hawaiian group was not on tbs
most direct line of travel between the
Western hemisphere and China and Japan.
Any vessel which might come around tae
Horn or cross the isthmus OF Panama, IN
case of the construction OF canal, would
be almost certain to touch the islands OH
its way to Yokohama, Shanghai or any
other Far Eastern country. Furthermore,
the islands were Il great convenience as
coaling and general supply point TO vessels
plying the Pacific ocean. Taking up the
question of the necessity for the defense OF
the islands and OF the maintenance OF a
large fleet in those waters in case OF ar
nexaton he said this was mere bugao1o
and was not founded on fact The only
thing necessary would be TO fortify the
coal stations in times of trouble There
would be no need TO guard other portions
of the islands, for 10 was not to be sup
posed that any hostile nation would Tor
mere sentiment send feet thousands OF
miles across the waters in order to attack
and destroy any defenseless communities
there simply because they We're subject 10
