CHIEF SWINGLEY
BREAKS A RUNAWAY.
Former Owner Of Tr0tter Is
Compelled to Dispose of Wild
Horse at a Sacrifice.

Fire Chief Swingley is the originator of
a new method of horse-training. one that
is pronounced marvelously effective and
fraught with sufficient elements of the dar-
ing and the ludicrous TO make the uniformed
official the cynosure of envious horsemen's
eyes and the subject of testing remarks by
observing boys about town.
His reputation was lately enhanced by
his experiences with a certain bay trotting
horse named Fred, an animal which was
the terror Of the Forest Park race track
and the bane of existence to a coterie OF
horse owners. The horse was a promising
%trotter, but it ran away one day on the
track after winning a race and killed an
other horse. and did other things TO worry
its proprietor. Henry Fisher. who. in n mo-
ment of abject disgust. disposed of the an
imal to Chief Swingley for the sum of $50.

HORRIBLY MANGLED.
Dave Roacher, an Z. & N. Brakeman
Killed Near the Arsenal.

Dave Roach9r, brakeman on the
l.. & N. Railr Dad, met death in a
most horrible manner Saturday
night near the Arsenal. Roacher
was on north bound freight train,
which left here about midnight.
When the train reached Franklin
he was missed by the crew, and or
ders were sent back for trains to
keep a look. out along the track for
the missing man. Shortly after
five O'Clock his remains were round
scattered along the track near the
Arsenal, his body having been pass
ed over by several trains and literally
ground to pieces. 1t is supposed
that as his train was pulling out.
Roacher fell between the cars and
thus met his death. His remains
were picked up and carried to his
home at Nashville, where they
were inferred. Roacher had wife
and one child.

SOUTHPORT PURCHASED.
Bought by the Mt. Pleasant Real
Estate Company.

Mt. Pleasant Chronicles: Zone of the
most important transactions in real
estate in the Mt. Pleasant phosphate
field of recent date was closed on last
Friday when Mr.. E. L. Gregory, Vice
President of the Mt. Pleasant Real
Estate Company, closed a trade with
Mr.. r. R. Phelps, of Southport, for his
farm of l16 acres. This land joins the
two tracts recently bought by Mr.. John
Ruhm, Jr., Treasurer of the same COM
pany, and gives them continuous
body of most excellent phosphate land
about two miles in Length and containing
some 800 acres, the entire tract being
crossed by the line of the Mt. Pleasant
Southern Railway.
IAN interesting feature of this last
purchase is that it embraces the entire
village of Southport, every building
and lot in the little town going with the
farm bought by Mr.. Gregory.
Another interesting fact is that we
are informed that the officers and COM
mittee of the Board of Directors of the
Mt. Pleasant Southern Railway, visited
Southport about two weeks ago and loca-
ted the site for the depot and terminal
yards for the railway on the Phelps farm.
We are also informed by Mr.. Gregory
that he has already engaged the services
of an engineer to lay off streets, alleys
and town lots preparatory for the boom
that is sure TO come as soon as the rail
way is completed to its eastern termi-
nus, which will likely be within the next
80 days.

yet been filled for record, but we are in.

One of the best repartees on record is
that of Foote, the actor. Dining with
some friends, heated dispute arose
between himself and young nobleman.
The latter sought to disparage Foote by
asking him what his father was.
"A tradesman, said Foote.
"Then, sir, it is pity he did not
make you one.'
Sand pray, let me ask, what was your
father, my lord?"
"My father, Mr.. Foote, was a gentle
man."
"Then, my lord, it's pity he did not
