AN ASSASSINS' DEADLY AIM.
GORGE DENNARD SHOT WHILE SIT
TING IN HIS HOUSE.
,.uome Alone When the Deed Was
Done. His Wife's Paramour and
six Others in Jail.

Dne of the fouest crimes ever perpe-
rated il Terrell county occurred
carly Wednesday night on the farm of
Mr. G, N. Harris, seven miles south of
Dawson.
George Dennard, one of the county
wells .o>do and most respected negros,
o,as assassinated about o'clock while
,,one in his house, his dead body being
discovered two hours later by his wife,
who had left home soon after supper to
visit neig hbor
Donnard was shot through crack in
q window with a gun loaded with buck
shot, six of the shot taking effect in the
loft side of his head and face and one in
his left shoulder. He was standing ny a
bureau when shot, and it is evident that
aIamp which was sitting on the bureau
was overturned, as the floor and the
lower part of the bureau were burned
The door of the house was also found
nartly open, and it is believed that the
assassin, after killing D3nnard, wentin
TO tbe house and put out the flames.
Two inquests were held over Demands
body. the first being held Thursday
morning by Justice of the Peace G. NJ
Perry of the district in which the crime
occurred, he not knowing that the
vacancy in the cOrouer's Office had been
fyIed. and the second by Coroner Arnett
in the afternoon. Neither of the ln~
quests developed anything, and both
yerdic.s we're Tat the crime was COM
mitted By al unknown person.
Later developments, however,
have led to the arrest of seven par
ties. Sheriff Christie, Deputy Slade
and Mr.. &. G. Lewis have been
at work upon the case, and as a
result of their efforts Anderson
Stamper, Dan Washington, Ella Den
nard, Charlie Hilsman, Ava Stevens,
Glover Stevens and Louis Josey are In
Jail.
There are two theories of the
crime, the first connecting Anderson
Stamper, Dan Washington and Ella Den
nard, wife of the murdered man, with it.
Stamper and Demands wife are known
to have been intimate for some time. A
year or more ago he shot another man
about the woman, and it is now believed
tina! be hired Washington to kill Deno
nard. Washington says that Stamper
offered SIS to get Dennard out of the
way but he denies any connection with
the crime.
The other theory is that Charlie His
man, who was Dennard broUher-in- law,
aSSaSSlnated him. Hilsman is thought
to be the man who burned Mr.. &. NJ.
HarriS's mill and gin house recently,
and 1t Is believed by some that he killed
Bernard to conceal evidence the latter
had against him

IfnIY In London.

Many Londoners have visited the
Italian district. which lies in the neigh
borhood of Theobald's road and Hatton
Garden, and some with inquiring minds
have strolled up Leather lane and
watched the Italian ice cream vendors
and fortune telling women with pretty
love birds, intermingled with the dirty,
noisy, street hawkers, common to all
London slums. 1t is amazing to learn
how these Italians crowd together in
the poky little houses Of the courts and
alleys. Generally house is hired by an
old padrone, who sublets to as many of
his countrymen as he can respectfully
squeeze in. The cellars are utilized as
sleeping apartments, and in the morn
ing as many as 90, even 80, men will
emerge from the bowels of the earth,
blinking and winking in the daylight
after a night spent in the cellars under
one small dwelling house. whole
family, consisting Of a husband and
wife and eight or nine fanciulli Of vari-
ous ages, often sleep in one small gar
ret or celIar.-Ludgate Magazine.

When Ardmore people have a
good thing in sight it takes some
shing worse than mud or the grip
to keep them from enjoying it.
This was verified last night by the
full house which greeted the Rose
Stillman company in that splendid
four act comedy, The Guardian. :"
In this production this excellent
company maintained their already
high grade record. to the delight
of the vast audience. The special

catchy nature, the rendition of
which met with substantial plaud-

This celebrated play is by BARLEY
Campbell, and is a standard and
wellliked sketch. Mr.. Riggs, the
manager, claims the possession of
the original manuscript, and the
company should, therefore, present
correct version of the play and,
from what we have seen of the
company's work, a carefully re-
hearsed production.

HOW to Prevent Pneumonia.

You are perhaps aware that pneu-
monia always results from a cold or
from an attack of la grippe. During
the epidemic of la grippe a few years
ago when SO many cases resulted in
pneumonia, it was observed that the
attack was never followed by that
disease when Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy was used. 1t counteracts
any tendency of cold or la grippe
to result in that dangerous disease.
1t is the best remedy in the world
for bad colds and la grippe. Every
bottle warranted. For sale by City
