Arrested on Suspicion.

Thursday "a young fellow came
to town, acted suspiciously, told
conflicting stories, sold a horse
for half value and was arrested
by Chief of Police Wilson. He
said, after giving different names
of himself, that he is Harvey
Cocherham, a son Of James Coch-
erham, former hotel man of
Campton, and has a brother in
Shelby county by the name of
A. G. Cocherham. The horse he
sold he said belonged to his aunt,
Mrs. Ann Kinkead, and that she
had authorized him to sell the
horse. The sale was made to a
Mr.. Swope, horse dealer Of this
county, for S32 80. The check he
brought to the city with him and
offered to dispose Of it for $50.
The conflicting stories, going by
different names, selling the horse
for half value and then proposing
to discount the check for 50 80
when he could get the money on ii
by having Mr.. Swope to identify
him, was so suspicious that it led
to his arrest. After arrest he was
taken to the County Court room and
as soon as an opportunity offered
he sprang from ten foot window
and undertook to escape, but

man is nearing 81 years and had a

How Hlah Wa. the Tower OF Babel,

hOW HiRh was the Tower OF BabeIs
The actual h1ight at which the last
stone of that famous structure. the
Tower Of Babel rested cannot. on ac-
count of the rcmotcness of the times az
which 1t is said TO have existed. ever
become more than a matter of merest
conjecture. HerodOtus. who lived about
LOO years after that great spiral way
10 heaven is said to have been at
tempted, says that he saw at Babylon
structure consisting of eight towers
raised one above another, each IS feet
in height, but whether this ruin was
the remains Of the Tower Of Babel IL
was even then impossible to ascertain.
Herodotus. usually minutely exact in
his writing, leaves MS in ignorance as
TO how the upper level of each of these
20 foot towers was reached from the
level below.
As might be expected, even in tradi-
tion, wide difference Of opinion exists
ms 10 the height Of the tower. Most orr.
entalists maintain that God did not put
a stop to the work until the tower had
reached a height of 10000 fathoms. or
about - miles. In Ceylonese tradition
1t is said TO have been as high as 10000
elephants, each standing one above the
other. st. Jerome asserts on the au-
thority Of persons who had examined
the ruins that IL did not reach height
exceeding four miles. Other state
ments are still more eXtravagant.
