No motive can be assigned for the
killing of George Powell. He was
summonsed as a witness against some

that was the cause of his being killed.

be captured and as Will Powell, the

killing of George Powell as it appear
ed in the TINES shortly after the mul-
der:
THE STORY.
Last Saturday George Powell, Jr.,
was shot from ambush, by unknown
parties, while playing with his child
rem, in his own own yard.
Between the Hannum mountain
and the great range of Smoky noun
tains, under the shadow of awe in
spring old Bald is a little cabin, in
which lived father, mother and
three or four little children. Satur-
day evening, after work, just before
the sun had dipped down behind the
Chilhowees, the father, a big strong,
fearless mountaineer, was in the front
yard playing with MS children and his
wife was back Of the house attending
to some work, which had to be done
before the Sabbath, when a rife shot
rang out on the peaceful evening air
from spot on the mountain little
above the house. The vile came
running around the house and saw
her husband walking towards the
front door motioning toward the hill
side, from where the sound of the
shot had come. He could not speak
and just as he reached the front door
he fell heavily, and the life Of one of
the bravest mountaineers in all East
! Tennessee, went out as his faithful wife
and frightened children anxiously
bent over his PROSTATE form. Not
a word did he speak.
The shades Of night came rapidly
down and enveloped the little cabin
in its black folds. The frightened
and grief stricken widow drew the
''e|ess form Of her husband into the
cabin, gathered her fatherless children
around her, barred the door as best
she could and commenced her lonely
vigil through the dark and lonely
hours of night in the mountains, she
being too much frightened to under
take a journey to the nearest neigh
boris house which was several miles
away. Thus this forlorn little group
waited until the dawn of another day
when the alarm was given.
When the doctor arrived next day
he found that the assassins bullet had
entered PowelPs body just below the
shoulder blade, and little back Of
the left arm. The ball ranged little
downward and was taken out of the
right side under the right arm.
The ground was examined above
the house and the place where the
man stood, who fired the fatal shot
was found. The tracts were made by
a number eleven shoe.

COURT HOUSE
SAM BURCHFIELD ARRESTED.
Charged with the murder of George
Powell in December 1897.

Charged with the murder of George
Powell in December 1897.
Tuesday, Sheriff Rule and Deputy
Edmondson brought in Sam Burch-
field from his home in the mountains.
Burchfeld is charged with the MUIR
der Of George Powell in December,
1897, for which Hale Hughs is now
serving twenty years sentence in
the pen.
The facts that led up to the arrest
of Burchfeld are as follows: A let
! ter was received from Hale Hughs in
which he stated that he and Sam Bur-
chfield, who is his father-ln -law, had
made 1t up to kill Powell and each
took different stands, Burchfeld's was
near the house and Hughes stand was
at another place. 1t so happened
that Powell was at home and Burch-
! field, according to the story, did the
shooting, although Hughes admits
that if Powell had passed his way he
would have killed him.
1t will be rendered by our readers
that Powell was witness against
Hughes for running an illicit still.
Sam Burchfeld is a man 60 years
of age, according to his own story,
although he does not look it. He is
over six feet tall and has long coal
black hair and a busy beard and mus
tache of the same color. He keeps
his hair curled and takes as much
pride in it as any woman.
He has been, we are reliably in.
formed, a well known moonshiner
and has been up before the Federal
Court at different times and proven
guilty.
Sheriff Rule and deputies are busy

are sixteen, scattered all over the
mountains, some in North Carolina.

a highlander Of intelligence. He dress

was known in the quarter as a bravo
OF a superior order. This gallant fell
in love with a youthful beauty named
Sling Goo. who is said to be the chat
tel OF Song Len TOT, proprietor of a
fan-tan game. See Hoo Sem made
forward love to the girl and pleaded
his passion, his youth, his good looks
and fine clothes to win the maid. She,
however. was inclined toward a richer
though a palmer man, one You SheOng,
a bookkeeper and partner in a mer-
chandise house. Perhaps at times she
gave the bravo a hearing and balanced
his personal attractions against the
solder qualities and larger possessions
OF her other sutton. In the end. how
ever. she listened to the voice of pru-
dence and cast See Hoo Sein aside.
Vowing revenge. he left her. The
other night he got into the chamber

bookkeeper was sleeping peacefully

by a number of white men and held
until the police came up. In the city
prison See Hoo Sein thought over what
was best to do. The next morning,
when Sergt. Bidwell peered into the
cell. he found the murderer choking in
a silken moose.

August Sollner of Chicago, ILL.,, was

whom SOllner lived. found the mans
body in the boiler. He had been dead
several hours. according to a physi-
clan. At noon Sollner went to the
basement, telling his brother-in-law he
intended repairing the interior of the
boiler. No attention was paid to him
after the supper hour, when it
was noticed he had NOT appeared since
noon. At s o'clock kazler instituted
search for Sollner. and at 10 o'clock

he found Sollner's body. Il is thought

fermentation in milk is able, to just
the same extent TO arrest the digestive
process which goes on, in the stOm-
ach. A leading physician of Elgin says
it would take but a short time for any
n to take enough preservatives in
their daily ration of butter to utterly
destroy the digestive apparatus. There
ought to be a strong sentiment on the
subject which would indict at the bar
