A BILL has been introduC

A BILL has been introduce
ed by Mr. Anderson, Demo
crat, of Hickman County, in
the House, "To repeal the
act providing for the DISPOSE
ton of unclaimed bodies OF
persons who die in charitable
and penal institutions in coun-
ties now having a population
of 40, 900 or over, and to Gre
ate a commission for this
purpose, and to provide for
the punishment of any vio-
lation Of this act.' We are
not familiar with the details
of Mr.. Anderson's bill, but
any measure which legalizes
traffic in dead bodies should
be defeated. Some member
should introduce a bill to re-
peal this obnoxious act. 1t
has been a blot and a stain
upon the statutes of Tennes-
see too long already.

Fortunes in Field Dogs.

This is the season of the year for
the Southern field trials. During
the middle of February the annual
derby for setter and pointer dogs
will be run at Grand Junction, a
small station a few miles east of
Memphis, in the section where quail
is probably more abundant than
The Bolivar bulletin. (Bolivar, Tenn.) 1888-1946, 1901-01-18

anywhere else in the world. The
winner OF the derby is always class
ed as the champion dog of the Unit
ed States, and besides the derby this
year there has been arranged a
match between canine representa-
tives of rival millionaires for 81, 900
side stakes. The feature of this
years events will be the match be-
tween the champion from the Pierre
Lorillard, Jr.'s, kennel, and a set
ter dog from the mammoth training
and wintering establishment of J.
M. Avent at Hickory Valley, Tenn.
Lorillard's dog defeated Avent's
representative in the annual field
trials held at Grand Junction last
year, and since that time there has
been rivalry between the two forces.
Avent is in charge of the great game
preserves of HI. b. Duryea, the Bos-
ton millionaire, and he has recently
been authorized by the Bostonian
to challenge the Lorillard dog for
match for 1000 a side TO settle,
for once and all, the mooted ques-
ton of superiority.
Dogmen, as rule, are as much
In earnest about their animals as
horsemen, and the amounts they
wager during the annual field trials,
especially among the millionaire
fanciers, would surprise the average
person. Lorillard's dogs are the
love of his sporting life. He con-
trolls one of the largest game pre-
serves in the world, in West Ten
nessee, and he has quartered there
thousands of dollars worth of val
liable sporting dogs.
Tennessee is the greatest State in
the Union for the training and win
tering of fine dogs. Memphis is the
home of the old original Gladstone,
who won trophy after trophy and
prizes in every part Of the United
States. Gladstone was imported TO
America direct to Memphis by P.
I'll. Bryson, and Gladstone's blood
is coursing through the veins of
some of the finest settlers Of the land
today.
Near Memphis is situated the
game preserves of w. G. Whitney,
George Gould, Pierre Lorillard and
IL. B. Duryea. Charles Sturdivant,
Of Stanton, Tenn, is in charge of
the Lorillard and Gould kennels; J.
M. Avent is in charge of the great
est kennels in the world, owned by
a syndicate and located at Hickory
Valley, Tenn. Mr.. Duryea is the
head of the syndicate, and spends
much of his time from his Boston
interests hunting in the mammoth
game preserve. Mr.. Avent is rec
Ognized as one of the foremost train
ers of the day and an authority on
all matters pertaining to blue blood
ed dogs.
w. G. Whitney is never happier
than when trudging along behind
some of his fine hunters, waiting for
his dogs to ''set" covey of quail

MIRACULOUS ESCAPE FROM INSTANT
DEATH.
One Of the most terrible as we'll as
most miraculous accidents happened
here on Friday night, December ID, at
O'Clock in the evening. Mrs William
B. Seward, who was driving towards
Roxbury Center, having in the carri-
age Mrs Bishop and little daughter,
IL years old, who had just arrived here
on the O'Clock train. When about
one third of mile from the station it
became so dark that they could not
see the road and Mrs Bishop got out of
the carriage to locate it., when the
team, carriage, Mrs Seward and little
girl went over the embankment,1 Is feet
perpendicular, into the Shepaug river.
Mrs Bishop, who stood on tie bank,
screamed for help and Walter Bah
cock, a neighbor living a short distance
below, hearing her Immediately start
ed on a run to their assistance. AS he
was running up the road he heard a
splash in the water and by the aid OF
his lantern saw something floating
down the river. He sprang down the
bank and as he did so the object diSap
peared under the waterfall this nom
ent his lantern went out and he sprang
into the river and succeeded in grasp
ing the object, which proved to be Mr.
Seward. He pulled her ashore anC
with superhumam strength got her w
the steep bank and commenced rolling
her across rail, which caused large
quantities of water to be elected from
her stomach, thereby saving her life
Great credit is due Mr. BabcOck for BIZ
presence of mind and quick action. II
the meantime Mr. Babcock's wife hat
alarmed other neighbors, who quickl.
responded and rushed farther up tn
stream, where was lying the horse ant
carriage with the little girl under it il
the river. Col A. L. Hodge was tn
first to get there and he succeeded il
getting the child out while other will
ing hands we're getting the horse AM
carriage out of the stream, which the
soon did. Kind neighbors helped Mr.
Seward to her home and DR. PonS wa
Immediately summoned. He fOun
her entirely out of her mind, cause'
by the shock, and very badly bruise
about the body, and with several rib
broken. She is at this writing a yer
sick woman; pneumonia is feared by tn
physician. The miraculous part
that either she, the child, or horse, es
capped with their lives, and the las
two did not receive scratch but tn
carriage was a total wreck. Mrs Bish
op lost small hand bag with abou
$40 in it, and that has not been recover
ed, as well as whip, rugs, cushion, etc
in the wagon. The place where tn
accident happened has been for lon
time menace to public safety as tn
embankment is high and the railin
was down in several places, and wha
was up was small and rotten and of n
use. 1t is needless to say that tn
town is liable for all damages, as an
number of citizens are willing to test
fly that the place was very dangerous
and there are several others equal
so, and it is high time that such thing
should be attended to. Mr. and Mr.
Seward have the sympathy of all.
