DEPUTY USES
HIS knife
JOE DAVIDSON, OF HILL CITY,
STABBED AT WHITWELL.
Deputy Stabs Him Five Times
In Self Defence.

Joe Davidson was stabbed five times
at Whitwell Tuesday afternoon about
8 o'clock by Deputy Sheriff }. W.
West, while resisting arrest and trying
to kill the deputy. Davidson, who
lives in Hill City, left Chattanooga on
the accommodation in company with
q friend named "Joedy" Bryant and
attempted to take charge of the train,
but were quelled by the train crew as
best they could. Deputy West got on
at Jasper and arriving at Whitwell
started to arrest both men. He was
desperately resisted by Davidson and
drew his pistol, but Davidson seized
it and declared he was going to kill
him. A fierce struggle ensued, and
was protracted from the car to the
ground when West got possession of
his knife and opening it with his teeth
stabbed Davidson five times with it
infiicting wounds from which it is be-
lieved he will die. Bryant escaped
during the melee.
Davidson has been leading very
tough life and terrorized the passengers
on the Oakdale accommodation few
years ago, but escaped because it was
alleged he was subject to spasms.
NDeputy West is one of the pluckiest
deputies OF the county and is quite an
old man.
Davidson died on the train yesterday
smorning while being taken to Chatta-
nooga.

BETTER THAN HE EXPECTED

The News job department has turn
ed out this week 500 Reports of Coun-
ty Judge of Marion County, which
have been executed with the usual care
and excellence for which it is noted.
We do not like to toot our own horn,
but we are not satisfied with ordinary
work, and always strive to make each
job turned out for a customer better
than the others, and consequently have
large and growing list of satisfied
customers. If the work done in our
Job Office does not suit a customer he
can always confer favor on us by
showing us wherein it does not satisfy
them, and we viii rectify the error
the best we can. The following from
Judge Pryor, for whom the work was
done, gives us praise that is praise, for
Mr.. Pryor's report last year was print
ed in Nashville.
Jasper, Tenn, Dec. 16, 1905.

day and am frank to say that ] am well
pleased with the work, although
have not had time to examine it close
ly yet. 1t is nicer and neater than !

that is any more satisfactory than
yours.
Yours truly,
J. r. PRYOR.

stute, and as some of the candidates

about the pixies and SIGH like, l thought
it right for me to tell them about Ad-
am. You know Adam went three
weeks to Prof. Simpson at Sam Hous-
ton. That three weeks made him
think ne was as smart as the democra-
tic Jasper hill billies, so you see he
can't help acting fool some times.
When he left he had a goose feather
in his hat, and said he wanted Booker
Washington to know he was for Bot
Taylor, Ham Patterson, Jim Price,
the white goose and all the rest. MY
old man didn't like that much as he il
sorter for Karmack. Some want me
and my old man TO jine the union, but
/ tell them Bro. Darr jined me and the
old man in union once and if all the
unions are as bad as that one, l dom
want any more.

ENTERED SUIT
Miners Charge False lmprisOn-
ment During Trouble.

Twelve damage suits, charging false
imprisonment have been brought in
this county against J. W. Morrison of
Whitwell and W. J. Bass of Chatta-
nooga says special from Jasper to the
Chattanooga Times, Of December 49,
These suits were brought by union mi
ners because they were arrested and
searched, as they claim, without any
process of law, during the recent
troubles at Whitwell following the kill
ing of Clark Robertson. Col. Bass was
in charge of troops at Whitwell and ii
is alleged that he commanded the ar
rest of these twelve men. 1t is believ-
ed that there will be at least eight
more suits instituted on the same
grounds. Each claims $500 damages.

Correspondent Criticised.

Tracy City, Tenn, Dec 1S, 1895.
Editor News Noticed in letter
from here that writer said a good
union man took in scabsand gave
him his supper. That writer either
didn't know what he was talking about
or was drunk or crazy. Don't he
know that the man who did this is not
a union man, and never belonged TO
any labor organization, but is a good
old Baptist preacher and on his way TO
Herrin. Ill. now9 That writer must
be a good Christian for criticising that
young man for unfortunately getting
drunk and being in Jail; for his pa
rents are good Christian people.

Seattle. Wash. is fast becoming one
OF the most prominent centers IN the
United States for manufacturing indus
tries. due TO its geographical location
as well as many other natural advan-
tages. and in view OF these facts. the
level land which is commonly called the
tide lands. lying 10 the south of the
city, has been. for the past five years
and is at present advancing IN value
far beyond the expectation of the most
optimistic business man.
During the past ten years, they have
proved 10 be the most substantial and
profitable investments and have in
creased at an average Of 80 per cent
per annurn. H H Dearborn. OF New

CONCRETE SKYSCRAPER
WITHOUT STEEL SKELETON
Structure Made Like Huge Box Demon
strates It's Capability of With
standing the Highest Winds.

The first concrete skyscraper. an af-
fair of sixteen stories. occupies a bust
ness corner IN Cincinnati. II has a total
height OF 210 feet and differs from the
ordinary skyscraper in that IL lacks the
interior rivited steel skeleton frame
work. The building Is in fact. a con-
crete box. having eight-inch walls, con-
crete floors and roof. concrete beams
concrete columns and concrete stairs
The exterior Is covered with marble for
the lower floors. and glazed gray brick
for the upper stories. and terra Gotta
cornice, so that the principle upon
which the building is constructed is en-
tlrely different from that of the now
familiar skyscrape
The concrete is mace TO do the work
usually assigned to the steel framework
OF such buildings. 1t is true the con-
crete columns and floors are REINFORCED
with steel bars imbedded therein. but
these are comparatively small. and the
structure is I'm no way maintained by
them. their chief function. being to take
I'D tension stresses.
The compression stresses are mostly
taken up by the concrete. For instance
I'm the columns stiffening bars were
placed on two opposite sides near the
center by round bars of various sizes
In the basement stories these are from
two and a half TO three and a half
inches in diameter diminishing in size
and number in succeeding stories until
reduced TO one inch at the tenth floor,
above which they are entirely dispensed
with the concrete having sufficient
strength apparently TO do all the work
required.
The floors are continuous slabs. five
inches thick. REINFORCED with a mesh of
three-quarter-inch square twisted steel
bars. from eighteen to twenty inches.
on centers I'm both directions, strength
ened by beam or rib across the center
of the column bay about sixteen by
twenty inches. dividing this into two
panels. each sixteen feet square.
Walls Of the lower story are eight
inches thick. while the other walls, par
ticularly curtain walls In the interior.
are only three or four inches thick, re-
enforced by network of bars, placed
three or four feet apart, both vertically
and horizontally
The building has been up sufficiently
long TO have demonstrated that IL Is
capable OF withstanding the highest
winds and so far. il Is claimed, has de-
veloped no appree.sbl~~sheekage cracks.
