RESULT OF A BOYS FROLIC.
Companies Formed to Mine Zinc
in Kentucky.

A meeting held at the Grand Hotel yes
terday was the indirect outgrowth of the
Investigations of a small boy that once fol-
lowed a dog that chased a rabbit. The
boy and the dog and the rabbit were all
inhabitants of C~rittenden county, Ken
lucky. The name of the boy is Kay Farm
er. Last summer. as the story goes, this
boy, with his dog. chased a rabbit into a
cleft of one of the cliffs near Crittenden
Springs. about five miles from Marion. Ky.
In digging the rabbit out the boy found
some peculiar-looking mineral specimens.
He took them to town. and it was discov-
cred that the queer-looking rocks which he
had found were Jumps of turkey fat zinc
of almost 80 per cent. purity. For $l,lW a
syndicate purchased a considerable tract
of land i'm the immediate neighborhood and
1t is related that. after going down a few
feet. they discovered that a great stratum
of rich zinc lay almost on the surface of
the earth. 1t is claimed the beds are APP
p%arently ineXhaustable. DIR. j. j. Clark,
who lived on adjoining laid. became inter-
ested in the find. and now the Marion Zinc
Company, of which he is a member, has
purchased 5000 acres and is also beginning
TO take out ore.
The meeting at the Grand Hotel yester-
day was the first one the Marion Zinc Com
pany has held since its organization. {. s.
knight, of Fort Wayne, is president of the
company; ID. e. Griffith, of Indianapolis, is
vice president, and DR.. Clark is secretary.
These officers. with d. G. Roberts, of Ma
riOn. Ky. who is also a member of the
Mr.. Knight says the two companies oper-
ating in that locality have taken out ESQ. 900
pounds of zinc in the last eighteen days.
The ore is worth SIS a ton.

FOUGHT LIKE A WILD MAN.
Frank Durham Had N Knife and His
Adversary Used a Chair.

Frank Durham, colOred, who was ar
rested early yesterday morning by Patrol
men Lee and Dugan, appeared, when he
entered the police station, as if he had
been through a bloody battle. His lips
were about twice their normal size. which
is saying a great deal; he had several cuts
on the head and face. and on his forehead
there was a welt about the size OF a good
sized chair leg.
He went home Saturday evening and be-
gan to abuse his wife. He drove her and
refuge with her brother, Milton Buckner.
who secured a place for them with a fam
lily named Armstrong at 54 TOrbett street.
Durham followed his wife and child to
Armstrong; and found the door locked.
He went home and, after breaking up most
of the household furniture and chinaware
10 the Armstrong home armed with a large
knife. He again found the doors locked
and broke one of them open. He picked
up their child by the head and threw ii
across the room. His wife. in fear of the
knife, sought safety in a large closet into
which Durham was unable to get. Buckner
came in and Durham attacked him. cutting
and slashing at him with the knife. Buck
ner's overcoat is a very heavy one, and to
this fact, no doubt, is due the absence of
two feet long, were made in his coat and
there were several smaller cuts. During
the struggle Buckner's hand was badly cut,
and yesterday he was taken to the hospital.
Durham's injuries were the result of being
struck over the head with a chair i'm the
probably prevented more serious injury to
himself.

cent until proven guilty beyond a reasona-
bic doubt This admirable and just provi-
sion in the law sometimes operates 10 the
advantage of the criminal but IL Is better
for nine guilty men 10 go unpublished than
for one 10 be punished unjustly-
1t Is sometimes hard TO get at the facts.
One accused OF crime is not compelled TO

this failure 10 go upon the stand IN your

You in making up a verdict Possibly the

Judge Stubs is 10 be commended in the
late celebrated Martineck case in holding
1t open 10 hear the testimony OF any one
who knew anything about the matter, be-

After care has been exercised in the Sc
lection of competent and honest officers
the place 10 guard jealousy is the legis-
lative body. There the laws are formu-
lated In its Hobbies you find almost every
interest represented. How necessary that
men of of the %strictest integrity should be
chosen for these important positions
our citizens ought not 10 forget that
our community is divided. On one side is
arrayed organized immortality, and its or
ganlzation Is very nearly perfect. On the
other side Is unorganized morality. The
difficulty these days in getting men 10 do
their duty is to overcome their fear of los
ing business by the operation. Start a pc
tltlon In a community remOnStratlng
against the establishment of a saloon in a
locality. and moral men. some of them
even claiming to be religious, Will refuse
10 sign it on the grounds that ii will hurt
their business. The matter of money some
times outweighs the matter of principle.
The threat of the withdrawal of custom is
a common club held by the saloon interests
over the head Of every one whom it can
possibly affect.
While this is going on, and a mighty
influence it is. the religious element is bush
whacking. y sort of guerrilla warfare is
kept up. A shot now and then along the
firing line is heard. If all were sOliditied,
merged into a common interest. not think
ing 1t beneath the dignity Of good citizen
ship to attend primary conventions, the in
fuence of the better element would be null
tiplied many times.
while it is argued that officers of jus
tice should do their duty. regardless of
frowns or smiles, we are not to forget that
a word of encouragement now and then is
infinitely more valuable and sensible than
an eloquent epitaph carved upon the tomb.
so let the church encourage the right,
denounce the wrong. but withal be chart
tably inclined TO the department of jus
tice, understanding that law has its limita-
tiOns and defects, and that there are many
difficulties encountered in the administra-
ton of justice"

INTERESTED CROWD on III BANK
OF WHITE RIVER.
The edna Ruth KayIev VIII Be Used
by the street-Railway Bridge
Builders.

When 1t became noised about in the west
ern part of the city that an addition to the
fleet of boats on White river would be
launched yesterday afternoon a large crowd
was attracted TO the shipyards. The crowd
extended from the wooden bridge at Wash
ington street along the embankment up to
the place where the boat was resting on
the ways near the cotton mill. The time
for launching the new craft was set for 2
o'clock. and the shipbuilders and workmen
did not disappoint the crowd. 1t was ex-
actly at the appointed hour when the clum-
sy hatboat was cut loose from it's support
and slid into White river. The river had
risen about two feet since the rains of Fri
day. and this aided in successfully launch
ing the boat. While the workmen were
busying themselves getting the stays cut
loose TO lower the front part Of the boat
so ii could rest safely on the creased ways
a crowd of interested and curious boys
climbed up the outside timbers n into the
interior of the boat. Here they ran about,
crying and bowling. banteTing each other
TO remain until the boat had gone into the
water. For a time 1t looked as though part
or the crowd OF Youngsters would brave IL
out. but when the boat was lowered they
took fright and clambered over the sides
and out OF harms way.

launching exercises. and the absence of
one was very noticeable from the many
queries asked. 1t was announced that a
keg OF beer would be used I'm christening
the boat. This part CT the programme did
not materialize until after the launching
and the men had adjourned TO a saloon
IN the neighborhOod.
The ways, which were made OF shaved
logs, were creased with soap. When the
workmen cut away the last support hold
ing the boat the cumbrOuS affair glided
smoothly into the water. On each side of
the boat was the name Edna Ruth Kayle."
The new craft launched yesterday is for the
use Of the Diledrivers that are at work
putting in the temporary bridge at Wash
ington street for the street-car company.
The men had driven several sets OF pilings
for the first pier. and it was necessary to
nave a large, heavy boat in midstream TO
continue the work. The engine and the
piledriver will be put on the boat. The
street-car company had built a temporary
line down the spur of Washington street
known as Washington avenue. The ties are
placed en- the asphalt without any fasten-
ing except sand ballast. The company is
building its temporary bridge just north
of the old wooden bridge. and will connect
its new line with the one now in use on
Washington street across the river.
