lucky. The Mississippi river stole
this land from Missouri, and the old
thief is still pursuing the same ne
farious course.
Lige Headrick, about l9 years old
inflicted 13 knife wounds on Gus
Holiday, aged l6, at Jackson, June
%, who will probably die. Head
rick is brother of John Headrick,
who was hung at Jackson about two
years ago for the murder of James
NJ. Lail, and seems to be going the
same route.
At Pascola this morning Buck
Terry shot Albert Stewart through
the lungs and physicians say there
is no chance for his recovery. Terry
Immediately made his escape and
has not been captured. The cause
of the difficulty is not known, but it
is said the parties we're drinking.
1t is also said that Terry was part
ly if not wholly justifable Ca
rutbersville Democrat.
Morley Correspondent to Benton
Record: A dredge boat crossed the
Iron Mountain railroad a mule be-
low here Monday night. Immediate
ly after No. 70 had gone north the
tracks were torn up and the dredge
began on the dump. A bridge gang
was on hand and had the track
ready for the local freight about
Ills next day. No passenger trains
were delayed,
Charlottesville Democrat: "The
still hog is the one that gets the
swill,' is forcibly illustrated by
Tromley ofthe Poplar Bluff Republi
can. The two democrat papers, the
Citizen and the Sentinel, have been
roofing each other through the
crack of the fence and squalling
loud and long, but Tromly keeps
his nose in the feed tub up to his
eyes giving an occasional grunt just
to let them know he's there.
The bridge across the Mississippi
river at Thcbes will be located just
below the village. The Chicago &
Eastern Illinois railroad has purch-
ased twenty-five acres of land upon
the bluff there, upon which the east
ern end will rest. The land was
purchased from Isaac Dexter. The
bridge will cross the river squarely,
and the channel span will be $50
feet long. The bridge will be used
jointly by the Chicago & Eastern
Illinois, the Illinois Central, the
Cotton Belt and the Iron Mountain
lroads.-Murphysboro Ind G..

1t is seldom that an object of con-
tentlon disappears as did one here
this week. In arbitrating the MIN
ing troubles, a resolution (at the
suggestion of chairman Pinkerton)
was passed to the effect that all the
men must be taken back without
prejudice, Manager Bllharz having
formerly asserted that he could not
reinstate Frank Gregoire. Tuesday
morning deputy sheriff Deck of Boil
linger county came here, arrested
GregoIre and took him back to that
county on charge of seduction
and thus the bone of contention dis

Pennington Times: The new Board
of Commissioners ofInsane Asylum
No. 4, Hon. J. d. Allen, JudgeJ J. T..
Green and Hon. T. M. Wells, ac-
companied by architecht H. IL.
Hohenschild and his secretary, Ray
Rucker, started on q jaunt east Sat-
urday night to inspect insane
asylums and gather new ideas for
our buildings. The tiye cottages
have been completed and locked up
for TWO months, and they cannot be
occupied until the Superintendent
residence, dining room, kitchen and
laundry have been built, as provid'
ed for by the appropriation of $l45.
600. 1t will probably be two months
and longer before any more work
is done, and as all this nice building
weather is being lost, it will be the
spring of 1902 instead of 1901, when
the buildings will be ready for pa
tients to relieve the overcrowded
condition of the other asylums.
