Trial of Cannon.

The preliminary trial Of J. t.
Cannon. charged with the murder
of Pete Hearon, was held at the
court house Il Greenwood last
Tuesday, Mayor W. s. Vardaman
and Justice Of the Peace D. P.
Montgomery on the bench. The
prosecution was represented by
Hon. 2. P. Landrum, of Column
bus, and the defense by Messrs.
McClurg & Gardner, of this city.
The trial consumed almost the
entire day, and some of the evil
dence was intensely interesting.
The correspondence which pass
ed between Hearon and Cannon re-
gardingan alleged insult to Mrs.
Cannon was read and admitted
as evidence, as was also the ante
norton statement of Hearon. In
| his first letters to Hearon. Gan
non demanded an absolute apollo
gy, to which Hearon replied that
he had no recollection of ever hav-
ing insulted Mrs. Cannon, or any
other woman, but if he had said
anything at which woman could
take offense, he begged pardon
for having done so. To this Gan
non replied that he would accept
no written apology, but that he
must come to Tuscaloosa and
apologize to Mrs. Cannon person
ally, just as the indignity had been
offered, else he must suffer the
consequences.
Mrs. Cannon was placed on the
stand and related the proposition
which she says that Hearon
made to her at the depot in Col
umbus.
The statement of Cannon was
similar to that contained in last
week s paper. He denied, however,
that he asked Hearon his name
on the morning of the tragedy.
The speeches of the attorneys
for both sides were able and
imprisoned.
At the conclusion of the argu-
ment, the courts decided to grant
the defendant bail in sum OF
| 81, 800 for his appearance before
the Grand Jury. The bond was
promptly made and Mr.. and
Mrs. Cannon left on the first
train for Carrollton. greenwood
Commonwealth.

Resolutions of Respect.

Again has there been an alarm
at our outer door. The sum
mons, which no man can dis
obey, came and another spirit
winged it's way to the land where
our fathers have gone before US.
The Lodge is again called upon
to chronicle the death of broth
er. Our brother, Samuel Selig,
was born in Bavaria, Germany,
in the year 1910 and came to
America when quite a young
man. He came TO our city of Co
lumbu in the year 1866 and es-
tablished him self in the business
which he followed continuously
to the time of his death, which
occurred on the 10Th day of No
vember. 1903. Brother Selig
was among, if not. the oldest
merchants in our city and by
that honest and fair dealing,
which always characterized him,
he built up a business and made
a reputation that any one might
be proud of. The trestle board
of his life is finished; there will
be no more designs drawn by
him. but in the following of those
which he had already laid out no
mistakes will be made by those
whom he has left behind.
Brother Selig entered upon
the ground floor of our Masonic
Temple soon after his arrival in
Colum bus and has ever since
been an honorable and consis-
tent member of the fraternity.
In his death this Lodge has lost
not only one of it's Oldest mem
bers but one who, throughout
his whole life, endeaVOred to
live up to the teachings and
principles of the order and one
whose memory the brethren will
cherish; the city one of it's most
progressive merchants and citi-
zens, who was always alive to its
interests and in the busy circle
whose presence and timely sug-
gestiOns will be missed and sore
ly needed; his family a most
kind, affectiOnate and indulgent
husband and father. And may
our Heavenly Father, from whom
fOweth all comfort and cOnsola-
ton, pour the oil of consolation
upon those who are of the house
hold of our brother and make
good his promise that they who
sow in tears shall reap in joy"
May He strengthen them to bear
their great misfortune and heal
the heart-wOunds that now seem
unto them irreparable.

In Memory of Pete Hearon.

One of the saddest occurrences
to this community happened
Thursday morning. Dec. 3rd, at
Greenwood, Miss, when, with
out receiving any warning or
even having a chance to protect
himself. Mr.. Pete Hearon was
shot down by j. It. Cannon, of
Northport, Ala, a man whom he
had never seen or had never
known. Mr.. HearOn was brought
to his home in this city on the
eleven O'Clock train and died that
night at twelve o'clock.
The writer has known Pete
Hearon since childhood and
knowing him as | did, [ know
the accusations brought against
him are false He would not in
suit any lady for he was always
courteous to the female sex and
stood ready at all times to grant
any favor that lady might ask.
Yes, he was all that is grand.
noble, true and kind, and too
liberal for his own good. To
meet him was to admire him; to
know him was to love him, and
when addressed by his fellow
man he was always pleasant and
gave him a courteous reply;
whether business or social, he
was always the same.
So grieve not, dear parents and
sisters, for one who is as true
and sweet a character as he was
has surely gone to that glorious
home above where murderers do
not enter. When his slayer goes
before that jury of twelve men
at Greenwood and upon false
testimony they fail to find YER
dict of punishment, there is a
higher court which will take up
his case and when he goes before
that ban there is a Judge upon
that bench who will mete out
Justice to him as it should be, for
it is written: Thou shalt not
kill"

Big Deed in Trust Signed by the Man
who "NearIy Became President"
Filed For Record Here.
NORTHWESTERN BONDS RELEASED
Samuel j. Tilden Held the Trust Deeds Al
most to the Time of His Death and
They are just Recorded.
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

The exciting events of the Hays
Tilden campaign were recalled IN the
Office of the register of deeds here this
morning when trust deed sig ned by
Samuel ]. Tilden was filed for record
in the office of, the register of deeds,
The man who came within single
vote of being President of the United
States for many years held the trust
deed securing the bonds of the North
western Railway company and this
deed which was made by Mr.. Tilden IN
1885, shortly after his memorable de-
feat, has just been filed for record.
The deed secures the pay mentof bonds
to the amount of 500, 900 and it trans
fers the property mortgaged for the
payment of the bonds to the Farmers
Loan & Trust Company of New York.
The bonds have now been paid and the
recording of thesdeed is simply mat
ter of form. Its great historical value
comes in the fact that the long deed
contains at its end the almost il1egible
signature of the famous New Yorker.
There is great deal of reverence for
Samuel ]. Tilden in Kenosha and
many of theSold timers who had fought
in the bitter campaign for his election
called at the Office of the register this
morning and looked at the signature.
1t is said that at one time Mr.. Tilden
carried trust bonds to the extent of
more than thirty millions of dollars
and the small sum of the Northwestern
company was one of his smallest hold
ings.
The release of the mortgage on the
Northwestern lands promises to be one
of the most travelled documents ever
filed for record in the Northwest. AL
ready it has been filed for record in
twenty-nine counties in different parts
of the Northwest and the paper looks
as if it had been through hard cam
paign. Every side of its cover is mark
ed by the different officers through
whose hands it has passed. It must
still be sent to twenty or thirty more
counties as it must be filed for record
in every county which is touched by
the Northwestern road.
The filing of the release shows that
the Northwestern company has now
paid off the last of the floating indebt-
edness of the company and it stands in
the rather unique position of being a
road without bonded Indebtedness.
Quite little of the money secured by
the bonds just released was used Ia re
pairing and rebuilding the line be-
tween this city and Rockford, I'll.

the companion of the desert plain,
that turns the moist burrows in the

the sport of kings, that with blazing
eye and dlstended nostril fearlessly
leads our greatest generals through
carnage and renown, whose blood

BULGARIAN PRINCE FLED

Belgrade, Servia, July 24.-Prince
Ferdinand of Bulgaria accompanied by
his children passed through Belgrade
at O. clock this morning bound for
Vienna. His departure from his king
dom has given rise to many rumors of
the trouble in Bulgaria. One report
has it that a general revolt against the
prince has started and that to save his
life he has fled.
Belgrade, July "a. Newspapers say
Ferdinand never intends TO return to
his kingdom. The condition of affairs
at Sofia is highly critical. 1t is ru-
mored that Ferdinand has fled from
the capital on advice of his counselors
who have discovered a widespread
plot for making way with him.
Vienna, July "a. Newspaper COR
respondent Wilhelm says it is author
lied to characterize as unfounded the
report that Prince Ferdinand abdicated
the throne of Bulgaria. 1t explains
his departure from Sofia as his usual
custom to visit the grave of his father
at Coburg on July 26, the anniversary
of the latter's death.

/ u. y. WILL KEEP PLEDGE

Washington, July 20. The State de-
partment has heard nothing recently
from Mr.. Conger, respecting the Man
churian negotiations, so it is suggested
that the Pekin representative story
to the effect that the Chinese govern
ment through Prince Ching, has de-
clined to open any Manchurian ports
refers to phase of negotiations dat
ing about two weeks back. The rea-
son for this suggestion is knowledge
on the part of the officials here that
before Secretary Hays departure for
his summer home the Chinese govern
ment actually did pledge itself to open
two or more ports in Manchuria. 1t
is not deemed proper here to indicate
how these pledges were conveyed,
whether through Mr.. Conger at Pekin
or the Chinese minister here, but as to
fact there can be no question.
