Wetting q Wheel

Once when Chief Justice John
Marshall was driving IN virginia he
found that the tire of one of the
wheels was loose and kept slipping
off. He didn't know a great deal
about the common affairs Of life,
but he did know that wates would
tighten a tire on a wheel, so when
he came to a little branch he drove
into It and got n little section OF
the wheel wet, then drove out and
backed his horoe and the same part
of the wheel went into the water
again, and he kept on see-sawing
back and forward, all the time get
ting the same part of the wheel wet,
While the Judge was bothering
himself about how 10 get the wheel
wet a negro came along, and seeing
the situation, told him to back into
the water again. He did so and
the negro took hold of the spokes
OF the wheel and, turning 1t around
soon had it wet all over. Judge
Marshall said: "Well, l never
thought of that" The darby re-
piled: well, some men just nat'ly
have more sense than Others, any

TWO MEN ARE UNDER ARREST
HELD MANACLED AND UNDER HEAVY
GUARD IN THE CAMP.
They Were Seen Leaving the Hotel
just Before the Fire-Habeas Corpus
InvOked-Capt. Even Penniless.

LOUISVILLE, KY, June 14.-The City
ing, owned by Capt. B. j. Even, the prin-
cipal witness against Jett and White, now
on trial there for the assassination of
Lawyer j. B. Marcum, burned to the ground
early this morning. There were fifteen
guests in the hotel. but all escaped without
injury. There was no insurance on the
structure, and the hotel, together with its
furnishings and the effects of the guests, is
a total loss. The origin Of the fire is un-
known, but the belief is general that it was
of incendiary origin.
Captain Even had recently put UP an
pleted and was as yet unoccupied. 1t was
in this part of the hotel that the fire was
discovered. The town of jackson has no
fire department, and when it's citizens were
aroused by the firing of pistols 'and guns
much excitement prevailed A detachment
of militia came the double quick from
their camp across the river and rendered
valuable aid in assisting the guests to
escape and preventing the further spread
of the flames. Captain Even has been kept
at the camp of the militia since he testified
last Monday that he saw Curtis Jett fire
the shot which killed Marcum.
Nobody was seen to leave the hotel before
the fire broke out. 1t was only two days
ago that jackson was put under martial
law. The fire has caused renewed appre-

WASHINGTON, June H.-Governor w. T.
Durbin, of Indiana, arrived in Washington
this afternoon. He is at the New Willard.
and is here to confer with officials of the
Department of Justice relative to an ap-
peal to the federal courts of litigation aris-
ing from the now well-known episode at
Jacksonville, Fla, at the time the Indiana
troops were encamped there in 1898. Gov
ernor Durbin will confer with the officials
early to-marrow, and will leave for In
dianapolis in the afternoon.
There has been lots of talk about vice
presidential candidates from Indiana" was
suggested to the Governor tonight.
II wonder whether 1t hasn't been more
talk In Washington than in Indiana" said
he. Senator Beveridge, who comes up for
reelection next year, declares he isn't a
candidate for Vice President. The Presi-
dent invited Mr.. Beveridge to accompany
him on his Western trip, and then invited
the senator to come to Washington with
him on his return trip. / don't know that
these things have any significance in the
vice presidential lines.

made by North Meridian-street residents
to prevent John b. Cockrum and others as
sociated with him from putting up big
automobile station on North Meridian street
opposite University Park, and near the
properties of E. F. Claypool and John c.
Wright. Attempts have been made in past
years to prevent the encroachmant on this

but the introduction of the ordinance to-
night means, it is said, still more deter

Some time ago Mr.. Wright was offered
an option on the site of the proposed auto
mobile station, which he refused. When il
was ascertained that an automobile repair
and supply station was to be erected across

ST. LOUIS, June H.--During the past
twenty-four hours the river has fallen

istering 36 feet inch. The river Is receding
slowly, and according to predictions the
danger lne-30 feet-will not be reached for
several days. Already proprietors of levee
stores are paying daily visits to the river,
in hopes of finding the water sufficiently
low for them to reopen their establishments.
To-day every street opening into the levee
was crowded with sight-seers and persons
whose property has been submerged. BY
far the best view of the flood is obtained
from the Eads bridge, and from early
morning until dusk this structure was filled
with spectators. 1t was with considerable
difficulty. necessitating at times threats of
punishment, that the armed guards sta
toned where the viaduct joins the bridge
proper succeeded in keeping the crowds
from passing them and entering the flooded
territory OF East ST. Louis.

near whose property the fight took place,

adduced. Bratton was taken back to Belle

REIGN OF INTIMIDATION
Accentuated at jackson by the Burn
ing of Captain Ewen's Hotel.

JACKSON, KY, June 14.-The burning of
Ewens Hotel this morning is not only con-
sidered as incendiary, but also as acces-
sorry TO other acts of intimidation in con-
nection with the pending trial OF those
accused of the murder of ]. B. Marcum,
who was an attorney of contestants for
county offices now held by leaders of the
faction with which the defendants were
identified. 1t has been openly predicted
there would be the flashing of fncendiary
warnings, that arson would go along with
assassination, as disciplinary measures
might be needed in Breathitt county. 1t
is now stated that other witnesses for the
commonwealth were not property owners,
but that the jurors who are farmers, and
witnesses who could not be found when
detachments Of troops were trying to bring
them into court. are property owners. The
burning of EwenS property has not only
caused renewed fear for both life and prop
erty, but also increased the general doubt
of conviction in either of the pending cases
Capt. B. j. Even was the chief witness
for the prosecution in the pending trials OF
Curtis Jett and Tom White. Even is the
deputy sheriff who testified that he saw
Jett as he advanced with pistol in hand to
fire the last shot into Marcum's prostrate
Through fears for his own safety he testi-
fed that he did not dare to allow Sheriff
Callahan and County Judge Hargis to know
what he had seen. When 1t did become
known he was first a prisoner in his own
home and then fed the county until he
could have the protection of troops. His
house had been under the guard of de-
tail of soldiers, and as precaution against
assassination he slept in camp at the pro-
vost marshals headquarters.
Several days ago a man visited him at
his home and made him a proposition that
II he would repudiate what he had related
on the witness stand. saying that he testi-
fled to what was not true because of the
excitement he was under, he would be
given IS. 900 by certain prominent citizen,
and that If he did not accept this offer he
would be assassinated.
He encouraged his visitor to return in the
afternoon and stationed two witnesses in
a closet, who overheard repetition Of the
proposition and the threat, which was ac-
| companied by the tender of five crisp one
| thousand dollar notes. No one has doubted
| that Even was in actual danger, but few
were prepared for a step as desperate as
| that which came to-day, and Ii is generally
| believed that the incendiary fire was due to
| the statement made to State Inspector
Hines about the attempted bribery, as well
| as by Ewen's testimony.
