PEPPERED EIGHT MEN.
Crazy Negro Runs Amuck With Shot
Gun and Revolver in Kentucky.
A Deputy Sheriff is Killed.

In an attempt to arrest him, Bob
Shaw, a negro, supposedly insane,
killed one man and wounded seven,
near Whitman, KY, Monday after
noon. The body of the dead man lay
in front Of Shaw's house, while he
continued to defy the officers.
Sunday afternoon Shaw was ter
rorizing the community around Whit
man, and an appeal was sent to Ow-
ensboro for help. A posse was at
once formed, but as soon as they ap-
preached the madman's house he
opened fire on them.
Town Marshal Watson was shot in
the face and Deputy Marshal John ].
Jackson in the back. Others wound
ed were DR.. G. H. Pitt, boy named
Howard, and a boy named Pelly.
Monday morning a posse headed by
Sheriff Kelly went from Lewisport
to Whitman and found Shaw sitting
On his front porch.
Shaw quickly barricaded himself in
his house. The posse tried to storm
the house, but the negro opened fire,
wounding James Ford and John Rob-
inson. He apparently had only small
shot, which saved the lives of those
hit.
Shaw was shot at twice. He had
two revolvers, but announced that he
would save them for work at close
quarters. A great crowd gathered
around the house, keeping at a safe
distance.
Will c. Brown, a deputy sheriff,
volunteered to go to the house ano
take Shaw. When within fifteen feet
of Shaw, the crazy man fired, blow
ing Browns head completely off.
About o'clock Monday night a
mob of men and boys surrounded
the house and set it on fire. Shaw
remained in the burning house as
long as he could stand the heat and
finally leaped out and tried to escape.
Nearly one hundred shots were fired
and Shaw's body was riddled with
bullets. :.

| We'll 1 don't want you to think me
100 much Of 4 meddler," came back the
voice of the man. Il only want to SuS-
ee$t things that Seem TO be for your
good Now. you say you've known this
man for two weeks. Are you sure you
will care for him at the end Of two
months? Wouldn't it be we'll to wait
that long and see:''
We haven't the least bit Of fear OF
that" responded the young lady in
tones of perfect assurance. He says
we were made for each other"
Made for the madhouse," muttered
Mrs. Admington to herself, losing all
patience.
And how old did you say be wasp
resumed the old man.
Forty"
| and you are :venty:'
well. III be twenty-one in couple
Of months
And how old are his chiidren:"
The boy is fifteen and the girl only
ten spoke up the young lady, evil
IDENTITY without fear Of tackling so
tough a job as looking after the
youngsters.
The man was silent for an instant,
trying to think of something else to
switch the young woman off the matri-
monial track. Mrs. Admington was
hoping he would be successful, but he
wasn't, Sc he fired a weak parting shot.
WELL" he began, hopelessly, "all I
can say to you is that if you marry that
man after having known him only two
weeks>you will be doing very foolish
thing. and in looking after those two
children you will certainly have your
work cut out for you"
Il don't care if I do,' came the voice
of the young woman snappishly. i've
thought it all over and I'm going to
marry him anyway"
Mrs. Admington wasn't able to con-
tain herself any longer. She had no
sooner heard the young lady's ulti-
matum than she broke into the CONVEX
sation with:
Don't you do it. If yo'l do you're
perfect goose and you ought to know
it,"
Mrs. Admington heard gasps Of sur
prise from the other two, and then the
voice of the man:
"Well, who in thunder are you:'
I'm not in thun Ter anybody"
snapped Mrs Admington, "but I'm
considerably older than the young lady
at the other end of the wire, and I've
learned few things she ought to know
before she marries man twice as
old as herself and with two children
as big as she is.'
"Pity you didn't learn not to listen
to private Conversations snapped the
voice of the young woman.
And another pity you didn't know
better than to discuss such matters
over a telephone" retorted Mrs. Ad-
mington, spicily. "But I'm glad you
did, for it gives me chance to tell you
you're little simpleton if you marry
that man, and you'll regret it before
the year is out. He's old enough to
be your father. and he wants you to
marry him before you've prepared
enough clothes to get you decently out
of town. He ought to be ashamed OF
himself. and you ought to be spanked.
Goodby." =.
And then Mrs. Admington hung up
the receiver with a rap that almost
broke the hook.
I've given that young woman a
piece of my mind, and I hope it will
do her some good. But I don't suppose
it will. Next time I catch her on my
telephone she will probably be asking
some lawyer to get her divorce."-

Given Citizens Industrial Association
by National Manufacturers.
Among the many resolutions adopt
ed at the meeting OF the Nationat
Manufacturers Association in Atlanta
was the following:
Whereas, Organizations exist in this
country whose principal ehorts are
directed against individual initiative
and private ownership of property, the
fundamental principles Of which this
country has, in little more than a
century, 80 rapidly developed in the
arts of peace that it stands today
first among nations in respect to the
intelligence and the prosperity Of the
masses of the people, and,
Whereas, These organizations would
substitute in the place Of American
government q system based upon pa
ternalistic principles borrowed from
Europe, where individual liberty ,is
little understood, and the recognition
OF which principles in this country
would inevitably entail disastrous con-
sequences to the welfare Of all classes
in the commonwealth, and.
Whereas, Many labor unions which
are classed among these organizations
are committed to the prosecution OF q
militant policy against the enforce
ment Of individual rights, and are fre-
quently dominated by men who are
antagonistic to law and order, unmind-
full alike of the blessings OF peace and
the rights Of others and reckless IN
the advocacy of measures that must
result to the injury Of their followers,
and,
Whereas, propaganda Of the most
serious character is constantly being
waged against our institutions, spread.
ing dangerous and fallacious doctrines
broadcast among the more ignorant
classes, and,
Whereas, The Citizens Industrial
Association Of America. which was
organized in Chicago in october, 1905,
for the purpose of encouraging and
promoting the spirit Of patriotism,
OF disseminating it's knowledge On eco
nomic questions, of instilling respect
for the laws Of the land, and fos-
tering a general demand for their
enforcement, and Of creating strong
public sentiment against the abuse OF
power by labor organizations, has al
ready accomplished great good along
these lines, contracting in considerable
measure the propaganda Of those or
ganizations antagonistic to American
principles; therefore, be 1t
Resolved, That the Citizens Indus
trial Association Of america is enti-
tied to the unqualified and earDest
endorsement and support Of the good
citizenship of the entire country, anu,
