Sorrell for Sheriff.

To the Editor: II affords me much
pleasure to say to the voters of Wake
county that | do believe we have d
candidate for the office of sheriff that is
willing to stand by the people in the
right thing whatsoever it may cost him.
He is a man the people love, not be-
cause of his favors specially, but for his
firmness and fulness to discharge his
duty, and for these reasons we do be-
lieve that the good voters of Wake
county are determined to elect A. M.
Sorrell, of Oak Grove township, for
their next sheriff. He stood back two
years ago and would not accept any
thing, and now his friends come out
and ask him to make this fight, and he
has kindly consented, and / am proud to
say we are greatly encouraged. There
is nothing like friends in the time of
need, and l do believe the time is near
when the young Democrats of Wake
county will put their heads together
and there shoulders to the Wheel ana
accomplish great good.

A Story With a Moral Spoiled.

To the Editor:-The story puDllshed III
last Sundays News and ObsefVer-ciip-
ned from some Northern journal-re-
carding an incident which is said TO
have reclaimed VIM. Writ, the Virginia
lawyer and statesman, from dissipated
life. has been republished at Intervals
for the past twenty years; the hrst tlme
| remember reading it, being In the
Youths Companion about 1879.
1t is a pity the little story which points
so excellent a moral is not true Re-
Gently while on visit to Savannah, Ga,
T was informed by a grand daughter Oh
the late Mrs. VIM Writ that the latter
stated to her many years ago when she
visited her in the city of Washington:
that the story of her having placed over
Hon VIM. Wirts face handkerchief
while he was lying in a drunken condi-
ton in a gutter on the streets of Rich-
nond prior to their marriage, had no
foundation in fact.
1t is quite probable that the influence
of Mrs Writ did save her talented hus-
band from the dreadful throll of the drink
habit, and inspired him to noble and
useful life from the date of their mar
riage but no such incident as that re-
ferred to happened.

against him are settled or until every item of property which can be shown to be his shall have been applied to the payment of his debts. It is alleged in this petition that an act of bankruptcy was committed in the assignment of Walker to w. H. Black. It is further stated that the petitioners are advised and believe that property belonging to Walker has been secreted and that within the last four months, since he knew that he was insolvent, many preferential transfers have been made.
 It is generally believed that this move will be of benefit to Mir Walker. He can now say that he has been forced into bankruptcy and time will be given to get the most possible out of what ever property he may have. It is said by some that his equities. which are scattered all over the valley, are so valuable that if he were given time to realize on them he would be able to discharge all his indebtedness and have something left for himself.

CLUNE'S REBELLION
In Which Law and Order in Buck
 eye Precinct Were Defed.

The preliminary trial of William P. Clune, for the shooting up of the Buck eye precinct, took place in Justice Burnett's court yesterday. He was more particularly charged with shoot ing at J. H. Tracy with an intent to commit murder. He was held to tn" grand jury. Clune committed several bad breaks in Buckeye and stirred that peaceful precinct to greater depths than it had been disturbed since white men have occupied the country. He went there first to kidnap his child. which was in the possession of his wife. from whom he had been sepe- rated. It was in the course of his hunt for his wife that he met Mir Tracy, who did not properly respond to his inquiry. There was a brief quarrel. in which Clune struck at Tracy and Tracy struck Clune. Then the shoot ing began. As soon as Tracy saw the butt of the gun and the cylinder he started away. He heard a shot whistle by his ear, but he could not be called an eyewitness of subsequent proceed ings. for God did not fashion him with eyes in the back of his head. The bull let which was fired al Tracy was found in the wall, and was introduced into court as evidence, but the hole in the wall was by an oversight not brought along as on exhibit.
 Beside Tracy there was a small boy wno appeared for the territory. He heard the quarrel and saw Clune begin to shoot but. like Tracy, lie saw no more. for something in afl opposite di- rectiOn was attracting his attention. Clune denied the shooting altogether. He said he did not have gun, bur that he had frightened Tracy by point ing a pocket knife at him pistol fash ion. Tracy and the boy were quite sure that the weapon was d gun. for in their expert opinion a common pocket knife could not make such a noise as they had heard. When Clune was arrested some days afterward a pistol was found in his possession, but that fact proved nothing.
 That was not the only violent thirE

FARMER LANE
Takes a Day Off and Feels the Bet
 ter for It.

An excited woman rushed into the sheriff's office yesterday ana demanded interference in her domestic affairs. Her husband, she said, was laying waste the household. When she left home there was hardly a whole piece of china about the house. She said her name was Mrs. Hortense Lane, and her husbands name was w. E. Lane. She lived on the John Field ranch, about five miles from the city. The sheriff went home with her and found Lane sitting on a doorstep, picture of dejection and dissatisfaction. The sheriff told him he had a warrant for his arrest. Lane frightened up lit ile: he saw a ray of hope; here was chance to get away from home. He went into the house. packed some clothing into suitcase and got his overcoat As he left he called to his wife cheerily. Good bye. Mrs. Lane.'
 He was brought to the sheriff's office, but was not locked up. He is a gen tlemanly appearing person and man of education. He gave an account of the episode which had made him a crinl- inal, and thereby crea ted great deal Of sympathy for himself He said that he was a civil engineer by profession. and had never in his life done any harder manual labor than a civil en- gineer has to do. So he was what may be termed soft. He had lately come to the valley from the far east at the instigation of his wife, and at her instance and against his own better judgment. had rented a ranch ana gone to farming. Neither he nor his wife had ever lived on farm, and neither had enough agricultural eX- perience to hunt eggs. refrain from milking the horse. or avoid harnessing Up the COW. Yesterday morning his wife set him to digging ditch. at which his soul rebelied, but the insurrection was not successful. for his wife stood by and did all the mental labor. He had nothing to do but throw out great back breaking shovelfuls of dirt.
 He kept it up until noon and went into the house in no pleasant franc of mind. The only thing about him that was all right was his appetite. His wife was in ill humor and had taken out her spite upon him in the preparation of the midday meal. She had cooked nothing for him. What she had got together was set cn the table in close proximity to her and her son. The fond father was told that it was not his day to eat: a man could not be successful farmer and a glut- ton at the same time.
 MT. Lane arose from the table and seizing! the tablecloth by one corner. gave it fearful yanl. and the dinner and dishes came crashing to the floor. It was then that Mrs. Lane started to town after official assistance in the management of the farm.
 MT. Lane went before Justice Bur nett yesterday afternoon and related his side of the affair." There was no disposition to he hard on him. so hc was let off on the payment of the costs. amounting to about $6. Yesterday was the happiest and easiest time MT. Lane has had since he began adding to the agricultural wealth of the nation. The next time farm life grows too stren- uous and he feels the need of recrea tiCn he will yank off that tablecloth again. Six dollars is not an extrava- gant price for an afternoons outing.

DAN O'LEARY'S TRAINER
A Hot Foot Pedestrian Who Was Led
 Astray in Gila Bend.

You are charged with being drunk. said the recorder yesterday through an interpreter, as he addressed a Mexican who is travelling under the euphonious name of John Doe. how do you plead" "I am still drunk was the reply passed back through the official mouth piece of both court and defendant.
 Thirty days. NeXt?"
 Next was real poster picture la belled Robert Allen on the police reg ister. Robert was arrayed in long black coat that had once been q Prince Albert, a derby hat that was once new. a gray moustache and a red face, over which beamed q look of self compos- ure. as in appreciation of the Knowledge Of having at least once been somebody. He also wore pants. but they were of a vastly different fabric than his coat and a bit weather beaten. The charge was disturbing the peace, and when t was announced to him he said II must confess, your honor. that l am guilty. He asked permission to make a little talk. He said he came from California on foot and arriving at Gila Bend he fell in with friend who asked him to have something for the sake of good fellowship. He accepted and found that | able to drink like sponge and stay sober. By the time they reached Phoe- nix he was drunk and got arrested for the first and he hoped the last time in his life. He said that he had in early life been a steward on a Mississippi river steamboat and later had taken a complete course in phrenology under Dr. O. s. Fowler. After that he be- came a professional pedestrian. In 1873 he met Dan O'Leary in Chicago
 and trained him for his last six days sprint. But now, alas, he was too old i to walk for exhibition purposes, though he could still travel a good gait prob ! ably six miles an hour.
 The court told him that he was an
 old friend of O'Leary's and he hated to deal harshly with one of the old crowd. 1 He said as he remembered him ! OLeary could walk backward as well i as forward and his first impulse was 1 to make the defendant walk backwards l to Gila Bend. However. he recalled his ] own experience in Gila Bend some l years ago and opined that it would not | be humane to send q man back there
 who had once got away. He also told Allen that there is no hope of saliva
 tion for q man who begins drinking in Gila Bend.
 ] The defendant had previously an
 nounced that he had friends in Globe
 and the recorder asked him if he could make two miles in the remaining tWen-
 ty minutes before sundown in the Ci-
 rection of Globe. which the court, re-
 calling his own nautical knowledge and
 expressions said lay 100 miles sou by
 sou'east. Allen said he could and he 1 lost no time in making the start. But
 he turned his wheel the wrong way for
 the last seen of him he was making west on Adams street. Unless he
 changes his course he will have to cruise around the world before he reaches Globe.
 : Tom Wilson was convicted of selling i phony" jewelry without a license. or
 trying to. and fined $10 or ten days. He
 claimed the rings found on him when
 arrested were simply being kept for a i friend with whom he intended to go to 1 Jerome.

filling Women in Springtime Need the Strengthening and Nourishing Vir-
 tues of Paine'S Celery Compound
A Case Where the Great Medicine Be slowed Vigor and Health Af-
 ter Months of Weakness
and Suffering.

Observing and intelligent women
 who have used Paine's Celery Com
 pound have noted well the fact that
 as a spring medicine it quickly regu-
 lates the bowels. clears the whites of
 the eyes of tha common jaundiced look and gives a bloom of health to the face that it never possessed before. Another important proof of the inviS- orating power of Paine's Celery Com pound. is it's effect on the pulse, which becomes full, firm. and regular. Weak, exhausted, nervous. irritable, and wor- ried women find that Paine'S Celery Compound counteracts the eXhausting' strain of work and worry Dy it's strong inducement to the delicate tissues to take more nourishment: it induces the nerves and brain to feed themselves more liberally, and it enriches the blood ! and regulates the flow.
 Mrs Nellie Morse Taylor Solon, O.. sends the following testimonial letter for the benefit of weak and run down women:-
 Some years ago l had a severe at tack of the grip which left my head
 and spine in very bad shape. Some
 times I thought I should lose my mind
 was so nervous. I could not sleep
 more than two hours a night. After
 . year with the doctor I had run down
 SC I weighed only one hundred and
 sixteen pounds. Then I began on
 Paine's Celery Compound. and that
 great medicine cured me and built me
 up to one hundred and fifty pounds. l
 would not be alive today had it not
 been for the Compound. It cures all
 nerve troubles.
