Oliver slashed the head of Walter
Foote, also uolored. until he bled like
a hog. A deep cash was laid in the
back of Foote's head He was taken to
the Emergency Hospital, but was in
such a drunken condition that lie

allowed to remain there among the
other patients whom he annoyed.
The man was then taken to the sta
tions house on Gloucester street, where
he was attended by DIR. w. S. Welch,
city health officer, Dr. l.. b. Henkel

Sunday Morning Fire

While Officers Owens and Holiday
were patroling their beat about 2
O'Clock Sunday morning they noticed
smoke issuing from the rear of David
Shugam's on West street. After a
fruitless attempt TO awaken the occu-
pants the officers broke in and found
the house a fog of dense smoke. The
only occupant was boy employed by
Mr.. Snugam. The boy was almost
overcome with inhaling the smoke,
and it was with great effort he was
aroused
The origin of the fire is a mystery,
bnt the boy said colored man had
been in the back of the house smoking
and may have dropped a lighted
match or cigarette. The fire was ex-
tinguished with slight damage, but it
would have been very serious had it
not been discovered when 1t was.
Certainly the boys life would have
been lost

The body Of Midshipman James r..
Branch, Jr., who died November :
was disinterred yesterday at the Naval
Academy cemetery and a post moTtem
examination held A tent was erect
ed near the grave and the medical and
surgical staff deputized for the work
performed the post-mortem examina-
tion under this tent.
Although the body had been in the
ground nearly three wekes, it was in n
good state of preservation, and it is
generally believed the results of the
examination will be satisfactory and
will throw light upon the actual cause
of Midshipman Branch S death Branch
is alleged to have died from an injury
to the brain, due primarily TO the
blows delivered by his opponent in
the fight. but the theory was advanced
on the other side that death might
have been otherwise caused, the claim
being that some organic affection of
the heart-for instance. "A vegetable
growth-might carry a disease to the
brain with fatal results
The refore, the brain and heart were
the two principal parts of the body ex-

PREACHED AT HIS OWN FUNERAL
Kentucky Pastor Who Influence Was
Active Even After Death

Although Rev. Henry C. Slade, Ken
tucky's famous "feud breaker" created
perhaps more sensations during the
course of his life than the average noun
taineer of his State, he broke all rec
ords when, the other day, his own voice
preached a funeral over his dead body,
directed the music and made one last i'm
passioned address to the rough people
among whom he had lived and worked
for so many years.
When this man, who in his little
mountain church had won widespread
fame, vas breathing his last in his hum
bic cabin under the mountains he asked
that by means of photograph he might
be allowed to direct his own funeral ser
vices in the church at Rideout.
On the day of the minister's burial
the wondering mountaineers and miners
of the Cumberland district gathered from
far and near. On horseback and afoot
came the crowds. Superstitious and ig-
norant disciples of the dead minister
trembled when they heard the dead mans
voice. Miners and mountaineers in rough
attire and women in coarse hOmespun
bowed their heads in awe and fear when
from the horn of the photograph came
the last words of the minister. All
listened in awe and wonder to the most
solemn and impressive funeral service
they had ever heard.
