MAY BUILD NEW

BOARD RESERVES DECISION
Board Of Public Works viii Probably
Recommend Sidewalk on North
Side of the Third Street
Subway
Subway

When the council, after long de-
liberation, passed an ordinance and
instructed the clerk to advertise for
bids for the construction of a sidewalk
on the north side of the Third street
tunnel it aroused the ire of some of the
property owners on the south side west
of the tunnel despite the fact that they
already have a sidewalk on their side
of the hole through the hill.
The question was discussed at length
by the council and, as no protest found
its way into the city hall or to the
council, and as the latter believed that
the increased number of pedestrians
passing through the tunnel every day
justified and made necessary more ade-
quate facilities for caring for this
crowd. the determination to build the
new sidewalk was reached.
Yesterday Lawrence Holmes, repre-
senting the property owners west of
the tunnel and, according to his state
ment, many of the wholesale firms do
ing business in Los Angeles, appeared
before the board of public works to
protest against the sidewalk being
placed on the north side of the tunnel.
Just what the wholesale firms had to
do with the case and what their rights
may be the board could not see.
Holmes declared that already an as
sociation of property owners on the
west side of the tunnel had arranged
to plaster or tile the south side of the
tunnel next to the sidewalk and put
up an ornamental gutter to carry off
the waste water which drips through
the ceiling.
Want Safety Railing
He also stated that movement is on
foot to ask the city council to widen the
present walk from six to eight feet
and to put up safety railing and or
namental lights, such as are being in
stalled on the various business streets.
Holmes emphatically declared that the
present sidewalk is dangerous without
a railing and that some day one of
the runaways, which are alleged to be
numerous, will result in very serious
damage.
Councilman Hitler was of the opin-
ion that railing would be menace
rather than a protection. Holmes OBJ
jected to the sidewalk on the north
side of the tunnel because he said two
three-horse teams could not then pass
each other in the tunnel. 1t was shown,
however, that the street between the
two sidewalks would be twenty-one
feet wide and that any experienced
driver could, with a three-horse team,
pass another team of like size in this
space.
The final decision of the board was
reserved until next week, but the opin-
ion was apparent that If any recon-
is made to the council it
will be to establish the sidewalk on
the north side of the tunnel.

Last Tuesday Officers Pardue,

catch. Mat Morris, colored head
cook at the Heathcock Hotel was
arrested and carried before Union
City's excellent Mayor, who gave
him few verses of the old familiar
tune, "Fifty Dollars and Costs. 7"

presided over by Esq. H. S, Sacra.
The weather was hot and the
Squire warmed up to the occasion;

guilty; that the evidence was abun-
dant and sufficient, and required
the liquor peddler to give another
bond for his appearance. These
cases will be disposed of at the

Woodmen Picnic.

The picnic given by the Woodmen
of the World four miles south OF
Fulton on the Levi Snow farm at
Bowers crossing last Friday was
one of the most complete occasions
of the kind ever witnessed by the
people throughout the country.
The crowd was estimated at 5000
and the Woodmen furnished them
with plenty to eat. On account of
the bountitul supply Of barbecue, it
seemed that the chicken supply
would not be consumed, but chicken
seemed to be as much in demand as
anything else on account of the
great number of Methodists pres
ent. Eight hundred people were
present from Fulton alone. The
Woodmen had one of the finest
bands in the country, a base ball
game and several good speeches.
Although the weather was warm
every one seemed to enjoy them
selves, and the principles of Wood
craft were lodged favorably in the
minds Of many people.

Dyersburg, Tenn, July 17.-DY-
ersburg was to-day treated to a
genuine sensation when it was as
oertained that George S. Stan6ll,
editor of the Herald. and one of the
most brilliant writer's of the State,
would be arrested upon a warrant
from the United States Court,
founded upon the information OBJ
tanned by Postoffice Inspector e.
L. Kincaid. The facts upon which
the order is based, as obtained by
your reporter, are as follows:
Some two months ago one James
Redd. correspondent OF the State
Gazette, of this place, wrote an ar.
ticle from Lenox for publication in
the Gazette, and says he mailed it
to Col. Tom w. Neal, the editor of
the Gazette. The postoffice box of
the Dyer County Herald is just be-
side the box of the Gazette, and
the correspondence of Mr.. Redd by
an error of the postmaster was
placed in the box of the Herald in
stead OF the Gazette.
The editor of the Herald received
the article and published the COM
munication in the next week S issue
of his paper, whereupon the editor
of the Gazette reported the matter
to the United States postoffice au-
thorities, who ordered the arrest of
the offending editor. Mr.. Stanfill
claims that the matter was one of
pure inadvertence or oversight and
that he thought the article was in
tended for him, if he gave the mat
ter any attention at all except to
hang it on the hook at the office for
his printers.
He was apprised some hours be-
forehand that he would probably |
be made to answer before the Fed
eral court for his offense, and had |
his bond ready when the warrant
arrived from Memphis, some six
hours after he had learned of the

Memphis, Tenn, July 1s.-
Toots Taylor, A. M. Miles and
Major Mills, three negro murder
ers, were hanged in the court yard
of the Shelby County jail here to.
day. Arrangements had been
made by Sheriff Frank L. Monte
verde for the execution of six men,
all sentenced to die to. day, but a
stay of execution for thirty days
was granted by Gov. Cox in the
cases of John Champion, James
Norheet and General Bone.
Taylor and Mills assembled the
scaffold together. The men had
been baptized and said they were
at peace with God. Taylor's neck
was broken by the fall, and life
was pronounced extinct in eight
minutes. Major Mills died from
strangulation after fifteen minutes
of suffering.
When the bodies of the two men
were removed Miles was led to the
scaffold. He showed little agita-
tion and said that he was ready to
die. The man was pronounced
dead ten minutes after the drop
fell. About $50 spectators wit
messed the executions.
Toots Taylor was hanged for the
murder Of Sam Gaines, committed
in Memphis on August 27, 1904.
The two negroes had been involved
in fight over o woman. Taylor
slipped up behind Gaines and shot
him to death. Taylor was brought
to trial last October and pleaded
self.defense. The jury returned a
verdict in five minutes of willfuI
murder.
Wife murder was the crime
which cost A. M. Miles his life.
He shot his wife, Matte Miles,
dead while she was in the act of
obeying his command to cook sup
per. The killing took place in a
negro tenement in this city June
Z, 1904.
The crime of Major Mills was
the murder of his father-in-law,
Alexander Gill, which was COM
mitted at the home of the latter in
this city January 8, 1905. Mills
had quarreled with his wife, and
she left him, going to her fathers
home for protection. Mills fol-
lowed her and when her father,
over so years of age, took the
daughters part, Mills pulled a
weapon and began avicious assault
on the old man. While the wife
stood by begging him not to shoot
Mills emptied six shots of a re-
volver into Gill's body, killing

City and Country Boys.
pm the Baltimore American.

From the Baltimore American.
According to DR.. Luther Gulick the well.
known specialist in educational matters.
the city boy has a better chance for health
than the boy whose early life is spent on n
farm. The city boy is said to get better
food for one thing. and in addition SO much
more attention is given to sanitary condi-
tons in the cities than In the farming dis
tricts. and so much care is taken by the
city boards of health to prevent diseases
that frequently have full sway in the coun-
try that the city boys powers OF resistance
are becoming greater than those of the boy
IN the country. With the ever-inereasing
use of machinery in farm life less physical
activity is required, too, of the farmers
boy, and his life is becoming more and more
sedentary. On the other hand, the gym
nasiums and the attention given in the city
schools to physical training offer opportun-
ity for all-round physical we'll as mental
exercise, and give the city boy more of
chance for the development of sound
mind in healthy body than is usually
joyed by the country boy. AS a .conse-
quence of these advantages which city life
offers to the growing youth over that af-
forded in the country districts, DIR. Gulick
predicts that the strong, healthy men of the
coming generations will be those reared IN
the city rather than in the country.

Then came Mr.. T. H Clergue, an Ameri-

up water powers and other possible specula-

the town bonds for what it had spent, and
in return he was to have exclusive right to
the water power and the other concessions.
The proposition was agreed to. He finished
