MURDER OF PROMINENT MAN,

The recent murder of Addison
B. Uhinn, in Lexington, was clear
cd up by Earl Whitney making a
confession, in which he acknowl-
edged that he aud Claud O'Brien
had broken into Mr.. Chinn's resi-
dence, but that O'Brien shot Mr..
Chinn. The news that the con-
fession had been made resulted in
an angry mob forming. Extra
guards were placed at the Jail and
Col. Roger Williams, under orders
of Gov. Beckham, ordered out two
companies of militia. 1t beoom-
ing apparent that even with this
force there was danger of an attack
on the Jail, officers, in accordance
with County Judge Bullook's or
der, by ruse placed the two cri-
minals on a train and landed
them safely in the Jefferson coun.
~ jail.

steamer Golconda wreck in Aug.
1901, has been fled in the office of
circuit clerk j. O. Parsons.
Suits we're fled by Messrs Da.
vid Adams and L g Hibbs against
the administrators of the estate,
to recover several thousand dollars
but il the master commissioners

and appellate courts it virtually
defeats all claims Of Messrs. Al

We give below the principal
points of interest touched on in

port.

The commissioner reports against
the claim and recommends that
the court reject it and allow MOTH

claim that $500 of Mrs Barnet is
money was invested by Col T. T.
Barnett in trust for her in the
Piles farm, and that rents and pro-
fits now aggregate about SIG 600.
The commissioner in his report
says he finds that $500 of the
money was not invested in the
Piles farm and recommends that
the court reject the claim.
He reports that the 81, 900 that
was paid on the Piles farm was
money belonging to Lou Barnett
given her by j. L. Hibbs, but says
it was not invested in trust for her
but used by Col Barnett in paying
for the land for himself. He re-
commends that the court reject all
claim for rents, profits and inter-
est. he says in his report that out
of a spirit Of equity he recommend
that the $1,000 be allowed l.. @.

Joplin, Mo, Oct. 19-the mar
ket for both zinc and lead is again
showing strength and is strong,
and an unmistakable upward ten
dency has made itself felt through
out the entire district. The pro.
duction last week was unusually
light, but every pound was eager
ly purchased by the buyers, who
would have taken on many more
lots than were offered at the same
price. The general advance dur
ing the week was at least dollar
per ton on all grades OF ore, and
still greater advance is anticipated
for the coming week. The slump
in the production last week was
not due to sny cessation of mining
in the district but to the feeling
on the part of many of the large
operators that the shelters can af-
ford to pay and will pay much
higher prices for ore than they are
now paying.
Should the advance continue
the year will close with the larg-
est weekly production ever chron-
icled in the history of the district.
The highest price the past week
was $40 per ton.
Lead sold up to $3.50 per
thousand pounds.
The 10 camps comprising the
Missouri-Kansas district made a
turn in for the week in money
value of $lS3,S60.
