The Earth in Danger.

An old theory is that the earth is
slowly drying through chemical com.
bination of the water with the crust. A
French georgrapher, M. Martet, has
been Investigating numerous caverns
and drying valleys, and had convinced
himself that more rapid DESCRIPTION
is taking place, and that our water
supply is being swallowed UP at an
appreciable rate by tho assures and
cavities of rocks and soil, He urges
a more thorough study, with view
of lessening absorption If possible.

Devastated the Country.


Rolf Boldrewood has been writing
On "Draughts in Australia" inspired
thereto by the fearful devastation
wrought in large section Of the
country. He is an authority on the
subject, for it was long drought in

the wealthy owner of many f1ocks and
herds into stipendiary magistrate
and coroner and led to storytelling as
a supplementary source Of income.

Nothing Yet Learned of the Fate of

She Is still missing.
The body of an unknown woman is re-

The affair is still profound mystery.
Mr.. Shelby was not opposed to Mr.. An
derson's marrying his daughter, as stat
ed in The American, but the parents OF
Mr.. Anderson were very much opposed
to the marriage. Anderson contends that
he knows nothing of the girl. No arrest
has been made. 1t is rumored that a
young man named Smith assisted in
stealing the girl from her home in the
dead hours of the night,

A disappointed man, grieving over
his imagined wrongs, murders IN the
most shocking manner one of the
best known citizens of East Nashville;

murderer is insane than they devote to
the crime. l presume in due course
relatives and maudlin sympathizers will
have able counsel employed to defend
the butcher, and the poor mans
affliction' will be set before the jury
with the hope of turning him loose to
kill the next man against whom he
harbors II grudge. A man who is so
sane that the community allows him at

MURDER WILL OUT.
Joe DELP CUNFESSES no
THE CRIME OF KILLING
Old Man Simon Booker and HIS Aged
Wife, and Burning their Home
duplicates others.-says They
were Paid to do 1t.

Winchester. Tenn, Aug. Is Joe
Delp. John Evans and Harry Judge
the three men charged with killing ole
man Simon Booker and his aged wife,
burning their home and crematlng thell
bodies, according to the confession Of
Delp are all guilty. For fear OF moo
violence here, they were taken to Nash
vile last week, but now that the excite
ment has partially subsidized they have
been returned here.
When the men we're placed in Jan ~
Nashville they were confined 10 separate
cells. This was done for several rea-
sons 1t was deemed precautionary by
Sheriff Cartwright 10 order to prevent
the men from plotting or even convers-
ing. 1t was thought, too, that they
would the more readily take someone In
to their confidence and tell OF their
crime if allowed to remain alone
Delp all along has manifested more OF
a disposition to talk than either Judge
or Evans. He was 10 a cell in the lower
cage and was the only one of the trio on
the first floor Evans and Judge being
u pstairs in different cells. All OF the
pen were guarded at first IN their
speech. but the confidence of Delp was
finally won and he made the following
confession:
"Judge is the man who hired me and
Evans 70 do the work. He and old man
Booker had some trouble about Ium
ber deal, and he was sore on the Old
man, lie wanted to get him out of the
way. Then, too, there were others
around there, but | am not calling any
names. who had it in for old man Book
err. They were to put up part OF the
money which Judge was to give. we
were to get over 500. Judge was to
paw SO of the amount. 1t was said that
aid man Booker had told the revenue
officers about moonshining end other
violations of the Internal Revenue laws,
and several of his neighbors had it in
for him.
1--WE agreed to do the work for Judge.
He hid shotgun in little out house
near Simon Booker's place. he told US
where it was, and Evars and l went
down there one evening. We went into
the house and Evans told the old man
he wanted to see his garden. They went
out in the garden, Evans taking the gun.
Evans said he wanted to see the potato
match and they went over there. When
old man in potato row and shot MIN
in the back.
"Then he came into the house and
shot Booker's wife and set the house
afire. l never had anything to do with
the shooting or the burning OF the
house, but l went along and saw it all.
will make this confession in court
when the trial comes up" i.
Judge vigorously denies that he had
anything to do with the killing He says
he don t know anything about it. Evans
is rather reticent on the subject, but
states that the others are as guilty as he
is. 49,.
The three men are now in Jail in Win
chester. and it is believed there will be
no further danger of mob violence The
Circuit Court of Franklin County con
yepes this week, and it is believed the
men will get speedy trial.

SHALL WELBURN'S MURDERER ESCAPE?
r.. A. HALEY, in Nashville American

be safe if such murder as this can
be done and the murderer kept from
the gallows by tricks and delays?
The law is presumed to grant every ac'
cused man ''speedy trial. and 1t IS
to be hoped that We shall have one
this time for change. The papers
have had great deal to say about the
evils of mob violence and good citl
zens approve all that has been said
against it.; but good citizens some
times cannot help wondering if the courts
have not needed a little help, when
they turn an insane murderer loose. l
have all due respect for the courts,
but the ceaseless delays of courts IN
this country make them the one lnsti.
tuition that fails to attain the standard
of the British Empire.
This murderer should be hanged,
decently and in order, but hanged, IN,
equivocally and that without waiting
for all the witnesses to die while he is
in Jail.
