Seven Bullets Made Burglar Burn the

doing business in Americas, and while

Only the bad aim of Mrs. Sanborn
yesterday saved thief's hide.
Mrs Sanborn saw the thief under q
window and opened fire with re-
Yolver. The thief fl I'D at the first shot
followed by leaden hail from Mrs
Sanborn's pistol, together with others
sent after him.
For lady living next door, hearing
the firing, came to the rescue and sent
two bullets after the fleeing scamp.
The pity is that none of the shots
struck him, and he lost no time in Ieav-

LIFE SENTENCE FOR SHEPARD.
Slayer of Joe Phillips in Webster is
Tried

Life imprisonment in the state peni-
Tertiary is the fate of Bill Ellis Shep-
lard, the Webster county negro who
ruthlessly killed Joe Phillips, another
negro, in that county two months ago
and during services at church.
Shepard was tried Tuesday. the case
consuming the entire day.
AS it was, in a manner, connected
with other sensational affairs in Web
ster, particularly the burning of the
town of Preston in April last, the trial
was one of greatest interest.
Col. j. B. Hudson represented the
State and Col j. r, Williams the de-
fendant in this case.
Shepard was carried from the Amer
icus Jail yesterday to Preston for tlial,
along with W. s. Morgan, whom the
negro declares hired him to kill Phil
lips. In his statement yesterday Shep-
ard still adhered to this story.
The verdict of the jury consigns him
to life servitude.
He will be brought back to Americas
and kept in Jail until sent to the pen,
unless the usual motion for new trial
is made in his case.
Mr. Morgan, whom Shepard lmpli-
Gates in the affair byhis statements, has
been in Americas Jail for several weeks
He will probably be tried at this term
OF the court, if the grand jury returns
an Indictment.
Sidney Harrell's case has not yet
been taken up. Judge Littlejohn will
order a recess, today at Webster court,
it being election day

But her aged and weeping mother

assurance that she was going home,

Protests were in vain and pretty Miss

The white Steam Touring Car.

The elimination of the boiler and
water level in the construction of
steam automobiles has caused steam
machines to again become very pop
uIar thruout the east. Credit for this
accomplishment belongs entirely to
the White Sewing. Machine company,
manufacturers Of the White Steam
Touring car. The, steam machine has
many advantageous points and what is
known as the White system has. COM
pletely. done away with with the OBJ
jectionable features common to the
ordinary steamer. s@,,s
The result Of the perfection Of this
system is a. car as simple to, care for
as it is to- rum one with absolutely
no danger OF, explosion; one with a
generating plant it is impossible to
a new standard in fuel and water
economy as the condenser permits
using the water over and over again.
: The consequent high working press
ure and super-heated steam, combined
with the absolutely automatic fuel
regulation and water feed, makes the
White machine that reduces the OBJ
jectionables features Of -automobiling
to the minimum. !.
That the White system. has .revolu-
tionized the construction Of steam cars
is evidenced by the fact that the
White people have refused $180,000
for the use of the patents from an
other American manufacturer of
steam machines.
The endurance run from New York
to Pittsburg last fall was a severe test
in which there were four White cars
that finished, the contestants winning
gold medals. 4
/ In France a 100000 company has
been organized to manufacture steam
automobiles employing the White pat
ents.
The improved White system was
brought out in 1902 and up to the
present time there has been no i'm
alone as the only absolutely reliable
steam machine .on the market.

RACES AT AUTO EXHIBITS
MANUFACTURERS URGES THAT
OUTDOOR SHOW AND SPEED
COMPETITIONS IN FALL WOULD
BE POPULAR. +. .--. ss,. ,.

AS a business proposition, the in
door automobile show, held In Janu-
airy. Or February, seems to combine
fewer advantages and more d1sadVan-
tages than an outdoor show and tour
nament held in the fall, says man
ufaCturer in the Automobile Review.
If an annual outdoor show and race
meeting were to be held say at Cleve-
land-or if two such are required,
then at the Empire City track, New
York, and at the Washington Park
track, Chicago-the points Of benefit
would be as follows: q ,...
First-Space. Every maker could
secure adequate space in which to
show his product. This is impossible
in. any single exhibition hall in"the
United States. .2 :. :
Second The cost would
be lighter. Any race track in the
country could be secured at a much,
smaller rental than either the Gar
den or the Coliseum. -.-~.--.s e.. - g. ..,.s-s

the public be, charged so cents a head
to see a lot of inanimate machines
which the makers are. trying to sell
to this same public? We; do not

the Garden and the Coliseum shows

will thus be seen that the total pro-
