the Christian County Chapter Of the
United Daughters Of the Confed-
eracy, will erect a handsome drink
ing fountain to the memory of one
Of the most dashing and fearless OF
Civil War heroes. In 1864 Col
Woodward was shot to death from
his horse at the intersection of Main
and Ninth streets in the city O.
Hopkinsville, which at that time
was occupied by Federal troops.
The Southern leader had galloped
into town from the south at the
headsof a small and irregular force.
His men men haulted at Fifteenth
street, refusing to obey foolhardy
order to follow their commander
into a nest of the enemy, the houses
yards being full of Union soldiers
and home guards, armed and ready
for an attack.
Woodward who was under the
influence of liquor, and followed by
one man rode slowly down Main
street, pistol in hand. When he
reached Ninth-then Nashville
street, command to halt came
from the upper window of store
nearby. Col. Woodward raised his
pistol in the direction of the voice.
Instantly several shots were fired.
One killed his horse and four bull
lets entered his own body. He did
not regain consciousness after being
shot and died in a few moments af
ter being removed to ahotel. His
men seeing from a distance their
leaders fate, fired a volley down
Main street and rode out Of town
Col. Woodward's body was bur-
led in Hopewell cemetery, and the
grave has been cared for by Confed-
crate organizations.
In brilliant service to the Lost
Cause, Col. Woodward, erratic as he
was, had proved himself to be one of
the bravest and most gallant of sol
diers. He was a New Highlander by
birth, being born in Vermont, a
graduate of West Point, and an ac-
com plished scholar. He came to
Christian county in 1910, and taught
school until the war, when he was
one OF the first men IN the county to
join the Southern army.
He was described as a cunning
strategist, and as cool, deliberate,
hard fighter. One of the most no.
table exploits was the capture at
GAINESVILLE, Tenn, of Col. Mason's
superior command of Union troops,
encamped on the college grounds.

and used to show it to his friends at
his drug store, where r. c. Hard

Garner before his death expressed
an intention to leave the relic to

lost. If it is still in existence the
Chapter should make an effort to
find it and see that it is forever pre-

LOndon.-In a manner characteristic
of Turkish diplomacy the Porte has
made an eleventh-hour surrender to
the British demand concerning the Ia.
bah boundary. It had been believed
in many quarters that the Sultan
would not yield until actual force was
displayed, but his decision probably
was facilitated by the knowledge that
none of the Powers supported his atti,
tude, and the fact that British naval
preparations had kept pace with her
diplomatic demands.
Sir Nicholas r. O'Connor, the Brit.
ish Ambassador at Constantinopie, in
his earlier dispatches had prepared the
British Government for Turkeys com
pliance with its demand and little at.
tention need be paid to the reports of
conditional surrender, that phrase
probably being intended to satisfy the
Turkish people. At the Foreign Office
1t was learned that it was quite I'M
likely that Great Britain would accept
anything in the nature of a mixed or
international commission to examine
into the frontier question, and the
Foreign Office declined to believe that
Ambassador O'Conor had accepted any
conditional" surrender.
1t is understood the British fleet will
be kept at Phalerum Bay pending a
final settlement of the question and
the delimitation of the frontier. Vice.
