Gov. Shands' Lecture.

Ex-Lieut. Gov. Stands, dean OF the
law department of the University OF
Mississippi, delivered his lecture last
Friday evening, as previously an
nounced, for the benefit of the library
fund of the Brookhaven Public School.
The Opera House was chosen as the
place for so distinguished an event
and a good sized audience greeted the
attractive speaker. Gov. Shands dis
cussed woman's relation to man, by
laws Divine and human, and held the
undivided interest of his hearers
throughout the hour he occupied.
Gov. Stands we'll sustained his splen-
did reputation as an orator and an as
tute lawyer and scholar.
Pretty little Miss Rosa Cooke gave a
pleasing recitation and Misses Fannie
Cooke and Beulah Ramsey very neatly
rendered two piano duets, all of which
we're we'll received.
Prof. Scott announced that the maD-
agement were greatly encouraged in
their undertaking: that S65 worth of
books had been contributed and $50 in
cash received, which, together with the
door receipts of the evening, would
launch the enterprise in successful
manner. There is not worthier OBJ
ject before our people than the build,

Suit Against Market COMPANY

In short time City Council will
bring suit against the City Market
House Company to recover $1,000
which the City claims to be due for
rent
The Market House Com panv. does
not dispute the amount OF the rent,
but claims that the building stands
upon city ground, and in time the
property will revert to the city i!h
the building included. They, there
fore, claim that Council should pay
the county tax on the property. The
city declined to do SO on the ground
that it was the building and not the
ground which was taxed by the
country, and therefore the Market
Company which will own the build,
ing until it becomes the property of
the city. should pay the tax. The
company then brought matters to Il
crisis by declining to pay the ground
rent, amounting now to $1,000, un-
less the city deducts the amount
paid in county taxes Last night a
conference was held with City Solici-
tor RcinEardt on the matter and he

lures a. ANSAeoNs
SEATTLE, Wash, July 10. - The
pursuit of Outlaw Harry Tracy ap-
pears to be temporarily suspended.
Sheriff Cudihee has called in the
guards from the southern suburbs,
leaving only a sufficient number for a
careful patrol. 1t is believed that Cud-
thee expects the convict if he reap
pears at all to show up in another part
OF the country. The posse that started
from RentOn with the bloOdhOunds
yesterday morning returned in the aft
ernoon after fruitless search. Since
early morning the posse had been
securing the country between Rentoll
and Black River junction. A large ter
ritory had been sentried without re-
suit.
1t is believed that Tracy is hiding in
the dense woods of this district.
Guards have been stationed at every
road in the section. 1t is believed that
he will soon make his appearance at
some house and demand food, as he ia
known to be without supplies. The ru-
NOR that Merrill has joined his mur-
derous comrude cannot be substan-
tiated.
AS matters stand at this moment no
one knows the exact whereabouts Of
the desperado
A Salem penitentiary guard who is
with the party at Renton is certain
that Merrill and Tracy are once more
together. Three suspicious looking in
dividuals have been captured at Rem
ton. The men have the appearance Of
tramps, and it is thought that they
may be three Of the fou: men who met
Tracy at Black river bridge Monday
night and walked through Renton in
the coEyict's company.
At the Jail they gave their names as
Andy Nelson, Tom Madden and Phil
Ritchie. The first two say they are
ioggers, and the third says he is an
iron bridge builder. Their statements
as to their recent actions are conflict
ing. A dilisent search is being made
for the fourth alleged accomplce, who
is thought to be hanging around Rem
ton Or may have Joined the convict.
Rumors are rife that the fourth man
is none other than Merrill, but this is
generally discrcdited.
