LEE CRIB HANGED
IN COFFEE COUNTY,
Murderer Of Fourtsen-Year
Old Emmett White Goes
to the Gal1ows.
CONTINUED from First page.l
HISTORY OF CRIME.

The crime for which the de-
PENDANT has been convicted was
committed in December of last
year. The evidence showed
that Crib stated in the streets
of Nichols on the day of the
homicides that che was going to
leave Nichols that day and that
he was going to leave a record
behind him." and this proved to
be no idle threat, for before sun
down he had killed two men and
shot several others and was him
self shot down.
KILLED TOWN MARSHAL.
He first went into the store of
W. B. Teston, where his father
in law, Mr.. Courson, had a little
shop for the repairing of clocks,
watches, guns and pistols, and
demanded of the latter some
cartridges. Upon being told
that there we're none there he
told Courson that he must get
them up or take the consequences.
Waiting a few moments he
told Courson that his time was
about up and that he was going
to kill him; about that time the
town marshal, Mr.. Holton, who
was also related to Crib, walk
ed in, and after word or two
Crib fired upon him killing him
almost instantly.
While in the store he also shot
at the proprietor, Mr.. Teston,
but the latter escaped by crawl
ing on his hands and knees out
through the rear of the store.
KILLED YOUNG BOY.
After leaving the store he
procured a Winchester rifle and
meeting young Emmett White
as he was coming in with a load
OF wood which he was hauling on
a wagon, he shot him from the
wagon. The wounded boy was
being assisted of the scene by
an older brother when Crib
shot him again in the back of the
neck. The young boy died in a
few hours.
Crib subsequently fired upon
several other parties, among
them being the train crew of a
train on the Brunswick ard
Birmingham railroad, but FORUM
ately no one else was killed.
He finally went to the depot
OF the Atlantic and Birmingham
railroad and cleared out the wait
ing room and office-fnal1y level
ling his rifle on Mr.. Hart, late of
this city, stating that he was go
ing to kill him.

On the Wrong Tack.

A young man in New York was deep
ly impressed with the beauties of Free
masonry and after considerable effort,
mental and otherwise, had fitted him
self for the ceremony Of initiation into
the order. He had heard of the ''goat"
and the "gridiron'' and many other
things connected with the first degree
and was prepared to be surprised at
nothing. In the course Of his first even
ing at the lodge he stepped on a tack,
which stuck into his foot and gave him
considerable. pain. He said nothing
and made no effort to remove 1t, pain
full though it was. Two hours later,
when 1t seemed to him that there was
nothing more to come in the way of
initiation, he asked If he might take
the tack out OF his foot. His sufferings
were not ameliorated when he was
told that the tack had nothing to do
with the ceremonies.-New York Post.

EverHrecna,


p The leaves Of q green plant are chief
ly useful as feeding organs, which util-
lie sunlight in building up plant SUBJ
stance from water, carbonic acid gas
and simple salts. Deciduous forms and
evergreens have been evolved on diff
ferent lines as regards foliage.
On the approach Of autumn the for
mer withdraw all nutritious substances
into their trunks and branches. A layer
Of cork Is then developed across the
base Of each leaf, which afterward
falls off, leaving u neatly covered scar,
which excludes air and germs.
These changes do not take place In
evergreens. for these possess tough,
leathery leaves capable Of resisting
frost, which are shed gradually all the
year round as they become old and eff
fete. Such plants use sunlight year
out, year in, while deciduous trees and
shrubs do during the warm season
only, though they work very vigorous
ly in summer, getting ready the buds
which open the next spring and stor-
ing up starch ana the like to serve as
food till the new leaves are unfolded
and ready for work.

a DOG OF UTILITY.
Pointer Evolution From the
bloodhound Type.

Bloodhound Type.
The evolution OF the pointer from
what may be described as the blood
hound type to the modern English
foShound kind. has taken, perhaps,
close on 100 years. He is essentially,
above all Others, q dog of utility, and
as the pointer has always been looked
upon as one Of the chief helpmates of
the man who loves to take his pleasure
behind q well broken brace OF dogs, a
pair OF barrels and straight powder, 1t
stands to reason that that man has
called in all his ingenuity and all his
knowledge of breeding to provide him
self with a sporting dog that is best
adapted for the sport that is provided
for him. Therefore in some places in
America, where the plains are SO vast,
a very fast and wide ranging pointer
Is reQuired-one, too, with "bird sense.'
Where true ranging, a good nose and
~stanchness on game are to be found
embodied in one single dog, there, per-
haps, have we found the perfect ami
NAL, and n retrieving pointer at that.
AS I'm other breeds Of dogs, there are
all sizes and sorts of pointers. The
short headed, cloddy shouldered and
often weak thighed and cow hooked
pointer has gone by the board. 1t
stands to reason that, although the
cart horse can gallop, he cannot gallop
with the Thoroughbred, the clean neck
ed, oblique shouldered, deep manned,
live racing machine. Half a day of
real going will knock up the heavy
headed, loose throated pointer. He has
had to give way to the more elegant
quantity; but Eel such rs he should
not be too small.-Illustrated Sporting
News.

He Was Not Laoonic.

animation for admission to Oxford uni
versity when he was n youth. The ex-
aminer, having utterly failed to floor
the candidate on some point of the
ology, said, 1--WE Will now leave that
part of the subject" mo, sir" replied
the candidate; "if you please, we will
not leave 1T yet" and proceeded to pour
forth n fresh stream. The dean in Mr..
Gladstone's day was Gaisford, famous
among other things for his trenchant
brevity. This laconic gift" observes

SPEAKING OF SANTA CLAUS

Reminds me that it would be a wise
move on your part to guarantee that he will visit your
little ones until they are grown. If you should suddenly
receive a call to make a trip to that land from whence no
traveller returns, have you arranged with old Santa Claus
to continue his trips TO your loved ones? If you haven't
it is high time you were doing so. 1t would be an ex-
cenent idea for you to drop into your wife's Christmas
stocking a policy issued by the State Life Insurance
Company. This would be a good present for her now
and would guarantee future visits from Santa Claus.

THAT BAND BILL.
youngstown vindicator.)

NAOuh6otOWh NhhutS&eOic
Some time ago the officers Of the
Eighth regiment band sued the officers
of the regiment, among whom was
General Charles Dick, congressman
from the Nintheenth district and chair
man of the Republican state executive
committee who in the campaign had
much to say in his bulletins about
taxes alleged to be due from Tom john
son. The band claimed that additional
compensation was promised by Dick
and theeofficers in consideration OF lts
going with the regiment during the
Spanish-American war, and sued to re-
cover the amount promised. On trial
Of the case the band got judgment for
$1,479.20. The case went up to supreme
court, being carried there by the offic-
ers of the regiment who were defen-
dants in lower court, and on Wednesday
the supreme court disposed of It In such
manner that the officers of the regi-
ment including the loquacious Dick
will have to satisfy the judgment.
Dick and the other fellows can now
make a dive into the pockets of their
jeans and bring forth the money.
Dicks logrolling to get the Eighth reg
iment band sent to st. Louis seems
not to have wiped out the judgment
or put the band in such a frame of
mind that it would cancel the obliga-
tion incurred during the war when
Dick distinguished himself in connec-
tion with the round-robin.

were married January 27, 1903, and the
wife charges cruelty and gross neglect

have been the motive for the husbands
actions, according to the petition. Mrs.
Shaffer charges that her husband
would not allow her to go to the U. B.
church of Louisville, of which she had
been an active member, threatening
to leave her If she did So. He would
not allow her to visit relatives or
friends, sit at window that faced up

after her own mail. March last he left
her and she now seeks to be restored
