BloOdhOundS Trail to
aomeS Of Leading Men.
Sensational development in the
Odd Fellows Distress Signal
Case i'm Tennessee.

development in the Odd Fellows
distress signal case in Tennessee,
which1s stirring up the members
OF the order everywhere, the local
lodge alfe,dy having taken action.
The development is thus told in
the Memphis Conmercial:
Oniccr W. +. Coleman and
Desk Sergeant Hesry JOY haye
returned from Canpbetl county
where they went to help hunt
down the assallants of William
DeLap, near LaCollette Sunday
night. They left here Monday
morning with Queen" and
"Jude, two of Coleman's blood
hounds They report very sue
cessful run. They were on the
scepe by 10 O'Clock and struck a
trail in few moments. The
scene of the attempted murder and
robbery is just outside the corpor
alton of LaFollette. The officers
examined the ground and found
where the scuffle took place. A
few steps away was found the
empty pocket book OF the wounded
man. At this spot the dogs struck
the trail, and were soon yelpine
away on the tracks of the suppos-
ed perpetrators of one of the most
bold and cow lrdly crimes in the
history of the county.
SIN Adopt two miles, says
Officer Coleman, eve came to n
house where u prominent nan Iiv-
ed. Here the dogs dumbfounded
the crowd which was following us
by trailing up into the porch. The
man who lived in this house was
prominent DAD Fellow, but the
dogs do not have to contend wifi
the character of men and their
keen scent is no respector of per-
sons. Like some contagious dis
ease they steal upon their victim,
no matter who he is. The sher
i'll and others were much excited
at this manoeuvre and insisted
that this must be a mistake. The
dogs seemed to think their duty
dones and would trail no further.
We took them back there differ
ent times and every time they fin.
ished at this house. The man
was at home, and was naturally
much concerned about the action
of the dogs. An innocent man
would be as much astounded Us a
guilty man when the dogs came to
his heme. He said nothing, but
was extremely pale and >nel vous.
"We took the dogs back again
to the scene and now trail was
struck. They followed this and
it carried them to the home of a
brother of the party living in the
first house. Here again the dogs
stopped and refused to trail furth-
er. OF course you understand
that the unsupported testimony
of these dogs does not have much
weight in court, but it helps to
c,rroborate other testimony the
same as any other circumstantial
prof. We found five witnesses
who saw these two and third
brother gong toward the scene
of the robbery the night it occur
red, and just short time be-
fore.
"Dekap, the wounded man,
thinking that he was perhaps g,-
ing to die, wrote out statement
which h sealed up and loft to he
opened in case he should die. He
told me what it contained. He
said that the dogs had confirmed

An Enterprising Firm.

Lamoille County has her full share
of progressive merchants, as a glance
at our advertising columns and a
visit to our leading business towns
will attest, and the wants of the peo-
pie are taken care of without the un-
pleasant alternative of going to the
cities when in want of up-to-date
goods. Foremost among this class
of merchants is the hustling firm of
Pike & Benson of Stowe, the mem
bers of which are young men of
energy, ability, and business tact
three ingredients that have been
successful in placing their business
at the head of the procession.
This firm is inst about to begin
their fourth annual March sale.
These sales have proved very sue
cessful in the past and their success
is due mainly to the fact that the
firm carry only up-to-date goods,
consequently the sale is, not for the
purpose of clearing out shop-worn
articles, but to make room for the
spring lines. Their announcement
on page 3 should be perused by every
reader of this paper.

composed of the "old boys" with
the two experts, F. j. Smalley and
Henry Atchinson as opposing cap
tains. 1t is said that when Henry
gets "real wrought up" the other
players are Obliged to retire TO the
dressing room for safety. But Henry
promises to check his unlimited
amount of energy and the game will
be played to a finish as advertised.
