An Unusual Sight.

Early risers last Friday morning
were treated to a sight rarely seen in
Marion which consisted of the long
vestibuled trains, made us Of sleeping

CRAZY NEGRO
Kills Sheriff and Wounds Seven
Others.

Hawesville, Ky, May %. Seven
men are seriously injured, two other.
are dead and home is in ashes a.
the result Of an attempt to arrest a
crazy negro near Waitman. small
village near the Hancock and Davies,
county line.
The dead are William Brown. of
Hancock county, deputy sheriff.
Robert Shaw, the crazy negro.
Brown was killed by Shaw who
also wounded the seven other men.
Shaw was in turn killed by the crowd
which had collected around his house
when he was forced to leave it on ac-
count of the fire that had been start
ed with the view of making him sur
render.
Shaw is supposed to have lost his
mind Sunday. He went to the home
OF farmer near Waitman with a
gun and announced that he intended
TO kill the farmer and his son. The
farmer persuaded him to leave the
place without carrying out his threats.
Shaw then returned home and his
wife, becoming alarmed at his actions
went to Waitman, where she swore
out a warrant for his arrest. A con
stable who went to the negro's home
To arrest him was turned back by
Shaw's threats to shoot. During the
afternoon a posse of 100 men was as
sembled and surrounded the house
with the purpose of arresting Shaw
and placing him custody. Shaw fired
four times on the crowd aud wounded
seven members of the posse. A guard
was kept around the house all Sun
day night.
Monday morning the posse was in
creased to 800 men wild with the de-
sire to take the negro. Shaw spent
the greater part of the day on his
front porch loading shells for his
gun. Frequently he would go inside
of his house and could be heard pray
ing loudly for assistance. Whenever
he saw one Of the members of the
posse approach the house he would
threaten to shoot and the men all
kept at n safe distance.
About 3 O'Clock Deputy Sheriff
Brown, decided to crawl up to the
house while Shaw was engaged in
prayer. He hoped to be able to take
the negro alive but took his gun with
him. While the deputy was crawling
along the side of the house Shaw
came out on the porch and fired a
IOad Of buckshOt in Browns head. |
The top of his head was torn off and |
Heath was almost instanteous.
The death of deputy Brown infur-
ated the crowd and plans were at

Large weights were wrapped in cotton

'orch. He had hardly reached the
middle Of the porch when 200 shots
sere fired at him and he fell dead
bout twenty feet from the spot where
Browns body lay. The crowd rushed
0 the house and the body of Deputy
Brown was picked up from the ground

frenzied building in New York. The

The Public Printing Graft.

The removal by President Roosevelt
of the F. w Palmer public printer was
not unexpected by those who have kept
in touch with this department. The re-
moval does not imply malfeasance of
Office but rather that he has Outlived
his usefulness. Since every = depaft-
ment in Washington has been under
mined by investigation and suspicion
no great surprise is occasiOned at any
time by an explosion of this kind. The
Washington newspapers, which natur-
ally reflect the local color of the gov
eminent service, disclose a condition
of uncertainty and unrest on the part
of all such employees. There never
was such a shaking of the dry bones.
The wonder is that the hand of the
reformer has this long remained from
the directing head of the printery. In
the trade he was known as a once ca
pable man who had ceased to be fac
tor in the management of the country 5
enormous products in this line. Yet
the public printer is not the only one
to be cudgled. The mass of printing
authorized and done at the public eX-
pense without benefit 10 anyone is
monstrous.
Tons of ink and paper ground out by
the government presses and used by
politicians for self-eXploitation, have
been paid for by the taxpayers. 1t is
time tho reforms in this department
took general scope. OF the S7,000,000
expended annually by the department
a great portion is absolute waste.
