when tho Horne Was Not a Horse.

When tho Horne Was Not q Horse
In the American Museum of Natural
History is famous skeleton Of an ex-
tinct animal called the "phenacodus,"
discovered In Wyoming, and believed
by biologists to represent the earliest
form Of the horse. This skeleton be-
longed to the late Prof. Cope's collec-
ton. 1t has now been remounted In
much more perfect form than before.
The animal was about as large as a
sheep, rather slender, with a long tail
and five toes on each foot; but three
of the toes did nearly all the work. 1t
lived in Eocene times; that is TO say,
In the age of the dawn.

REFUSED TO PAY.

When the will OF Henry M. Mark
stein was offered for probate in Sur
rogate D0rlands court, Poughkeepale,
NJ y, the other day, It was learned
that instead OF beQueathing to his son
Mark share equal 10 that OF the two
other heirs, he had left him only $1,000
out OF an estate Of $4,000. It is the
belief that Marks share was reduced
by the testator as a punishment for
his sons refusal TO pray In the syna'
gogue. Mark Markstein ia known az
one Of the keenest spectators In q
small way In the city. During most
Of his fathers lifetime he persissently
refused to attend the synagogue. FL
nally threats induced him TO heed his
fathers wishes, but the elder Mark
stein was inclined to doubt his sons
sincerity. Mark, however, believed no
had succeeded In winning his fathers
favor, and expected to receive one
third OF his fathers estate. Since his
fathers death, last February, pending
the probate of the will, Mark has been
regular in his attendance at the syna-
gogue, When the will was offered for
probate II was learned that one OF the
provisions made by Markstein was that
Mark should not DO informed OF the
amount OF his share for a year after
his fathers death. The surrogate held
that this provision was illegal and
that the contents Of the will should be
made known at once to all concerned.

A dispatch of Monday from Pulaski
says: A special session of the court was
called today to try the case of the negro,
Noah Finley, for highway robbery.
He held up Major James II. Darst, one
of Dublin's most prominent merchants,
at the point of a pistol and took his watch,
papers and pocketbook. and deliberately
shot three times at his victim who escap.
ed. The negro then fled to Radford and
boarded the easlbound train from which
he was taken at Christiansburg and
brought back to Pulaski and lodged in jail
for trial.
Public feeling was SO strong that the ne
gro had to be carefully guarded to prevent
him from being lyached. A jury was
quickly obtained this morning and Finley
plead guilty to the charge, but the Com.
monwealth asked the privilege of introduce
ing evidence to show the Nervousness of
the crime.
The Commonwealth was ably represent
ed by Commonwealth Attorney John S.
Draper, Jr., assisted by Hon. j. G. Wysor,
both of whom made strong speeches urg-
ing the death penalty.
The prisoner was defended by Messrs.
Moore of Christiansburg, and Wharton,
of Radford. The only plea was OH the
ground of mercy. The jury failed to agree,
and the judge adjourned court until to-
morrow.

Sad Death.

Last week intelligence was received at
town of the serious illness of Mrs. Ella B.
Brown, wife of Mr.. j. o. Brown, of Bow
ems Cove; and on Friday the news came
that che had died on that day. The de-
ceased was the sister of Mrs. j. w. Chap
man and Mrs. 1. c. Dodd, of our town,
and was most estimable Christian woman.
She was the daughter of the late Rees B.
Higginbotham, was born IN May, 1870,
and had been member of the Methodist
church for number of years. She is sur
vived by her husband and one little girl,
who is some three or four years old. The
death is peculiarly sad one, and the be-
reaved relatives are most cordially sympa'
thized with by all their friends. On satur:
day the remains of the deceased were
buried near her late home.

New Medical Partnership.

DR.. w. l. Painter, who has heretofore
been practicing medicine at Liberty Hill,
mas purchased what is known as the DR..
Estill house and lot, on Main street, from
DR.. Il. B. Gillespie, and has moved bis
family to Tazewel. DIR. Painter has
formed partnership in the practice OF
medicine with DR.. Gillespie, which began
on August 1st., and they will occupy
Jointly the office of DR.. Gillespie. This
move will very materially strengthen the
medical fraternity of the town and greatly
aid DR.. Gillespie in his commendable en-
terrrise of establishing sanitarium for
s Surgical cases. Occupying as residence
the house on the same lot with the rooms
for patients, will put DIR. Painter in easy
reach of the nurse at the sanitarium, while
the phone connections with DR.. Gil.
lespe's residence does the same.
As we have said before i'll our columns,
we wish to say again, that DR.. Gillespie's
establishing sanitarium at this place
should receive the cordial support of the
medical fraternity and of the citizens.
With the excellent skill that local physi-
clans are now showing in performing diff
cult surgical operations the necessity OF
taking patients to large cities for treatment
is removed, when local skill is strength
ened with proper operating rooms, ward
rooms and nurses. 1t will be great thing
to have an opportunity to receive proper
surgical treatment at or near home, and
to escape the heat and noise of the cities,
to say nothing of the saving both in time
and money to the afflicted.
