TURNER STILL FREE.
No Attempt Has Been Made to Ar
rest Him

Middlesboro, KY, Feb. 14.-Quiet has
been restored in the neighborhood of
Lee Turner's Quarter House." three
and a half miles from this city, where
the fight occurred Wednesday between
the Middlesboro officers and Turner'S
mountaineers.
The ruins of the burned saloon and
the stockade which surrounded it, are
the only reminders of the conflict which
caused the death of five and probably
six men and the wounding of three 9TH
ers. According to the latest reports
the list of the dead comprise Charles
Cecil. deputy sheriff; Frank Johnson.
Mike Welch, jeff Prader and Perry
Watson of Turner's forces.
The wounded are: John Doyle, deputy
sheriff, probably fatal; Leon A. Hopper.
John Johnson, mountaineers, members
of Turner's band; Tom Russell, a Tur-
ner man, is missing.
No attempt has been made to capture

believed a demand for his surrender
would result in another desperate bat
tie. The posse which made the attack
on the quarter house Wednesday even
ing has disbanded.

Drawing Out the MEM Man,

Robert Carrick, one Of the richest
bankers OF Scotland a few generations
ago, was as mean as be was wealthy.
Being one day visited by a deputation
collecting subscriptions towards a new
hospital, he signed for two guineas,
and one Of the gentlemen expressing
disappointment at the smallness of the
amount, he said, "Really, / cannot
afford more.'
The deputation next visited Wilson,
one Of the largest manufacturers in
the city, who, on seeing the list, cried;
"What, Carrick only two gulneas"
When informed of what the banker
had said, Wilson replied;
"Wait; will give him a lesson"
Taking his check book, he filled In a
check for 100000, the full amount of
his deposit at Carrlcls bank, and sent
it for immediate payment.
Five minutes later the banker APP
peared, brenthless, and asked, what
is the matter, Wilson,
Nothing the matter with me-" re-
piled Wilson; "but these gentlemen
Informed me that you couldn't afford
more than two guineas for the hospi-
tai. Halloa! thinks 1, If that's the case
there must be something wrong, and
Ill get my money out as soon as pos.
sible."
Carrick took the subscription list,
erased the two guineas, and substi.
tuted fifty, on which Wilson immedi.
ately tore up the check.-Tlt- Bits.

colors. Then cut out two squares, one
an inch square, the other an inch and
three-quarters, Cut one oblong an
inch and half long and one-quarter
OF an inch wide and another three
inches long and half an inch wide. Cut
out two circles, one an inch In diameter
and the other an inch and three-auar
tiers In diameter. And finally two tri
angles, an inch and a quarter and two
inches and a quarter at the base. The
more colors you have on these piecei
the more combinations in mosaic you
can make, and II you wish YOU may
add to them by making other circles,

made the parts well, cutting the edges

picked 1t up and found 1t was a tele-
