A. alarm of FIRE in the garrison
about twelve O'Clock last night
startled the soldiers from their
midnight slumbers and caused a
number of citizens nearby to hur-
~ to the post in hastily donned
costumes. The lusty bugle call
continued loudly for some minutes
and was supplemented by the firing
of the cannon which very much
heightened the sensation of alarm.
As the bugle notes kept on, j

up, can't get 'em up at all, " the
soldiers came rushing down for
fire duty, only to find it false
alarm, being merely practice call,
but the boys did their duty cheer
fully nevertheless, and extinguish-
ed the imaginary flames with all
the promptness and energy which
an actual conhagration would call
forth. The citizens who had de-
serted their midnight couches to

Benton, KY, April 15.-Consider-

day or two ago by the actions of a
strange man who was seen walking
up and down the railroad track
about two miles from here. He
seemed to be looking for something
on the roadside and section fore
man chased him into the woods and
notified Sheriff David Reeves. A
posse was formed and started out in
pursuit, 1t being believed that he
was one of the bank robbers who had
returned for the silver stolen when
the bank was broken. The silver
money weighed about 20 pounds and
It Is believed was hidden in the
woods. Only once did the posse get

CoVARDLY MURDER
EXPOSED BY GIRL
Nancy Becker Tells Who Killed
Her Siep-Father.
Body Of John TTockcnbctry Found IN
Cumberland River, the Head
Being Crushed IN.
JIM WELLS ~ THE ACCUSED.

.-sJim Wells, a shiftless shantyboat
character OF livingston county. who
was convicted this week at Smith
land OF chicken stealing and given
one year, must now answer to MUIR
der charge.
The body of John Hockenberry. n
shantyboater. who disappeared three
or four weeks ago, was found day
or two ago ten miles above Smith
land In the Cumberland river. the
head being crushed in and evidence
being visible that the body had been
weighed down with something.
After the finding of the body there
was considerable excitement, and
Nancy Becker, Hockenberry's step
daughter. has confessed that Wells
told her that he met Hockenberry In
mid-river and knocked him in the
head with an oar, and weighed the
body down with stones, cast II into
the river. u
Wells, Il seemed, had been living
on the same boat with Hockenberry.
living driven away his wife and
children. who are now said to be IN
or near Paducah, and was infatuated
with the Becker girl, and HockenDer-
ry objected. To get him out OF the
way is the alleged motive.
The murdered man left home for
Tilene, above Smithland, about three
weeks or a m6nth ago for meal. and
that was the last seen or him until
his body was found in brush pile.
His skin was found bottom side up
ward with blood on 1t two or three
days after he disappeared.
II is probable that the common
wealth's attorney will now make a
motion for a new trial for Wells in
order that the prisoner may be tried
for murder IL the grand jury finds an
indictment against him.
II is known that Hockenberry was
murdered and that Wells had a mo-
tive in committing the crime, but
whether or not' more evidence will
develop remains to be seen.

The decision of Comptroller of the

much anxiety among the stockholders.
Some of the bank officials predict that
the assessment levied viii bankrupt at

said. shareholders paid every cent they
had for their stock. These small stock
