A Peculiar Case.

A peculiar case, involving the lib
erty Of Robert Hunt, was disposed
Of at Jackson last week by Judge
Levi S. Woods of the circuit court.
Hunt was tried before Judge John
r. Bond of the criminal court of
Madison county in 1900, convicted
of murder in the second degree for
shooting Charles Parker, and the
jury fixed the punishment at ten
years imprisonment. In some
manner. sentence was never passed
upon him, but he went to the peni-
tentiary and has served two years.
Last week a brother of the prisoner
obtained writ of habeas corpus on
the ground that Hunt was unlawful
ly deprived of his liberty. He was
brought back to Jackson, and the
matter heard before Judge Woods.
Hunts lawyer contended that mas
much as he had been tried in another
court by another judge and the dis
trict changed by the last legislature,
that Judge Woods did not have the
right to pass sentence, and also that
having been tried once he could not
be tried a second time and should
go free. Judge Woods held that it
was within his province to pro-
nounce the sentence, which he did,
and Hunt goes back to serve the re-
manning eight years.

Their Plot Discovered.

A scheme to escape in which six
State convicts were interested, was
discovered and thwarted at the Ten
nessee branch prison at Petros.
While the convicts were leaving the
mines one evening, guard observed
that one convict had something un-
der his coat. Examining the pris-
oner, the guard found a jug contain
ing powder. The convict, upon be-
ing questioned, related a plot in
which himself and five others pro-
posed to arrange a blast in the pris-
on or stockade, and effect an explo-
sion which would enable them and
perhaps others to escape. The pow
der was obtained from works in the
coal mine, where blasts are prepared
to dislOdge coal.

FINISHING HIS MESSAGE.
President Roosevelt Putting the
Finishing Touches His
Message to Congress.

Washington, Nov. 24.-President
Roosevelt will put the finishing touch
es to his annual message to congress
Tuesday. The document is practically
completed now, but it is the presi-
dents desire finally to consult several
of the leaders in both branches of
congress as to one or two features of
the message before he commits it to
the hands of the printer.
This was a day of conferences at
the executive offices. The president
arrived in his office early, and soon
was besieged by callers. With sew
eral senators and representatives he
had engagements and denied him
self to other callers.
During the morning the president
had brief conferences with Senators
Allison, of Iowa; Lodge, of Massa-
chusetts;; Foster, of Washington;
Quay, of Pennsylvania; Fairbanks. of
Indiana; Stewart of Nevada; Nc
Comas. of Maryland; EIkins, of West
Virginia, and Gibson of Montana, and
with Speaker Henderson and Repre-
sentatives Cannon, of Illinois; Bah
cock, of Wisconsin; Boutell, of Hi
nois. and Lands of Indiana
Nearly every one of the callers was
with the president so short a time
that no opportunity was afforded to
discuss the important questions the
consideration of which is involved in
the message. Many of them an
nounced as they left the executive of
fees that they had called merely to
paw their respects.

HIVE Many GOOD SIZES
Business Mems Committee Se-
cures Options on Central
Postoffice Sites.
Both Hambel Properties Includ.
ed in the List-W0rking Hard
to Raise Money.
Saint. Howe and Hull Secure the
Options Others that are
Available.

Friends of a central location
for the federal building took
cheer today when petitions
were circulated among property holders
calling for subscriptions on certain OPP
tons held by Postmaster John q. Saint,
IL j. Howe and Charles H. Hull. Sev-
eral excellent options have been OBJ
tanned. contracts drawn in writing, and
the committee III work is of the opinion
tl,at the sentiment expressed at the
nlass meeting held a few weeks ago can
be realized when the commissioner ar
rives to look over the locations.
The most important options secured
by Messrs. Saint, Howe and Hull are
those of the Hambel properties, located
at the corner of First avenue and
Church street and Center and Church.
Either can be secured, and by the rails.
Jig of the differences between the
amounts asked and the 10 per cent of
the appropriation, Sl2,150. Mrs. Ham-
bells residence is offered to the pur-
ohasers for $4,000. providing 120N1S0
feet are taken. Sixteen thousand dol
lars are demanded for 120Xl40, and $l7,
coo if the men decide to buy 120Xl60.
The other property of Mrs. Hambel
known as the feed lot corner, at Center
and Church. can be bought for $4,000.
The land necessary on the old States
man corner can be purchased for s23,
900, and the Arney and Mrs. Beckwith
properties may be obtained for S11,500.
also been looked after. and altho the
land where the church itself stands can
be bought for $4,000. the remainder
necessary is not available. Consequent
ly that site is not being considered
at all.
The business men in general are
feeling good because of having been
able to secure the Hambel options
Either of the corners has been con-
sidered as good as could be found in the
city, and either SO centrally located that
there could be practically no division of
sentiment.
The greatest difficulty the committee
Will have in attempting to secure
the necessary funds in CLOSING. the deal,
providing one OF the other sites is con-
sidered desirable by the commissioner,
will be that there are too many sites.
Already the committee has found the
results of this phase apparent. Men
who have been solicited are willing to
give so much for one site. and probably
cne-fifth less for another, etc. There is
q lack of Capitalization on. any one,
which is unfortunate. The committee
will work hard, however. as it fully
realizes the time is short. commissioner
III. b. Wheaton is expected in the city
daily to begin his work of investigation

WAREHOUSE FLOOR coLLAPsEs.
Forty or Fifty Tons of Steel Drop Int
Basement Filled With Water.

A peculiar accident happened Satur-
day afternoon at the warehouse of the
Flexible Flat Steel Mat Company, To-
Gated on South Center street, between
the Chicago u Northwestern and Chi
eago Great Western tracks Three car
loads of steel We're being unloaded on
the first floor when the supports UNDER
meath the floor gave way under the
strain. The floor collapsed and between
forty and fifty tons of steel Went into
the basement below and into four feet
of water. Fortunately no one was in
jured and the damage to the steel was
not great. a large number of men was
placed to work and after seven hours
labor the steel was removed from the
water.
The cause of the accident was due to
the heavy rains of the past two months,
which filled the warehouse basement
with water, thus loosening the floor
supports and rendering them unfit for
the extra weight.

INVESTIGATE A PASTOR.
Baptist Committee Visit Owatonna,
Mimi, to Hear a Minister.

Messrs. T. I. WATSON and a. f. Will
bur. as a committee from The First
Baptist church. of this city, visited
Owatonna, Mimi, Sunday fo1 the pllr-
pose of hearing Rev. Elijah b. Jones,
pastor of the Owatonna churc h, preach.
The visit of the committee WAS entirely
unexpected, and their mission was not
made known until after the sermon,
when, as they were greeted b. the pas
tor as strangers. they made known
their identity and made an appoint
ment with him in the afternoon.
Messrs. WATSON and Wilbur were very
favorably impressed with Rev. Jones,
and consider him a worthy successor
to Dr. +. w. Parsons, providing he can
be secured. He is nicely located in
Owatonna. however, and has a 100000
church. Whether he could be induced
to leave if the church decided ii wants
him is a question yet to be determined.
Another committee. TO be composed
of MeSSrS. WATSON and John w. Wells,
will visit Hyde Park, ILL.,. next Sunday,
to hear a man who is said to be an eX-
cellent pastor. 1t is Very probable that
the Baptist pulpit will not he vacant

The change for the worst must have
been very sudden. as Miss Georgia

TUNED Saturday evening from Califor-
MIA, visited Mrs. Rhoades and Mrs. Bal

expected to be home about Sept 1.
