DESPERATE ROBBER KILLED.
Tracked ~ nloodhounds and Cornerod.
lie Refused 90 Surrender.

Yesterdays American contained
an account Of a killing on Tennes-
see River, in which A. N. Lindsey
of Big Sandy figured in a combat
with desperate robber.
The postofice at Stubbling in
Stewart County was robbed last
Thursday night, and Mr.. Lindsey
and his bloodhounds were sent for
Fridaymorning. He went at once,
and the dogs took the trail, but it
was late Monday afternoon before
Mr. Lindsey and his companions
succeeded in locating one of the
robbers.
The man, who was known as Joe
Stringer, was well armed, and he
refused to surrender.
Lindsey gave the order to close
in on him, and he and VIII Court
ney and WILDER Sellers advanced
on the robber, who was sheltered
by tree. The robber opened 6re
Immediately, seriously and proba-
bly, fatally wounding Sellers. At
the same time Lindsey and Court
ney advanced firing and the robber
fell mortally wounded by a shot
above the heart and died at once.
At the inquest held by Coroner
Ware of Murray, KY, Mr.. Lindsey
and his companions were eEonera-
ted. Stolen goods were found on
the body of the robber.
That locality, it seems, has been
infested with robbers Of late, but
if a few more are sent to the peni-
tentiary. or removed like this one,
probably a less number Of robber-
les will be committed.

THE fact that Hon. James B.

'incite him to a peculiar apprecia-

fact that he succeeds Governor

has been noted for business meth
ods and a successful handling Of
the States finances, will insure a
continuation Of good times in Ten

Tombstone epitaph., 1902-10-12

WHEN the republicans of Cochise county, in their pres ent camL Laign; take up the question of incre ased expens- les of running the county, 1t would be we'll to consider the matter from a business stand point. With an increase of population and taxable prop erty comes a natural increase in the expense account. One goes along with the ether and cannot be avoided, simply be- cause one creates the other. Look ing over our new assess ment roll will convince any impartial or disinterested person that we have gained intaxable worth sufficent to of
 ct any increase in our county expenses. The people of Co., chise county cannot expect to build up big towns and to furnish the people living therein with protection to their lives and property with out very naturally showing an increase in expenses. There fore any argument to the con trary must fall to the ground by its own weight and is sim ply ridiculous and not worthy of notice.
