Deepest Hole In the World.

1t is probably fact not generally
Known that the Michigan copper
country possesses the world S
deepest mining shafts.
The deepest of these is the No. B
at the North Tamarack property,
its measurement being $500 feet.
To the south, at distance OF 1000
feet, is the No. 5 shaft of the same
company. This ranks as the second
deepest vertical shaft on the
'slobe, its measurement being $3.50
feet from the collar to the bottom
level.
Second only to these great openings
is the Red Jacket shaft OF the Calu-
met and Hecla company, which is
known 1900 feet, and in which the
copper lode was not encountered
until depth of $500 feet had been
attained.
The deepest incline shaft in the
world is the No. of the Calumet &
Hecla. This shaft, itself. from the
collar to the lowest level, is sunk on
the plane OF the lode for a distance
of s, 100 feet, while from drift at
the bottom winze extends down
ward 100 feet to the houndry of the
property, giving measurement OF
8.270 feet from the surface. No. 4
shaft passes the Red Jacket shaft at
the fifty-sixth level.

the Identification report that the

The negro showed no excite

him. He was taken to Hender-

Tuesday afternoon. At the Jail
there, according to a press dis

OWEN NISBET
is RELEASED
Tragedy mentioned in Sunday
Sermons as Warning to
Young men
VICTIM WAS SON OF
PROMINENT MAN

owen Nisbet, who killed Frank
Brown, the eighteen year old
son Of Pryor Brown, at Knoxville,
Tenn, last Friday night, has
been released without prosecu-
tion or trial. A dispatch says
that Nisbet was, with the con-
sent of Browns father, allowed
his liberty on the condition that
he and his wife leave the country,
which they did.
y The story of the occurance,
briefly, is that Nisbet returned
home Unexpectedly Friday night
and that as he entered the front
door in the darkness a man rush
ed pas4 him. Mr.. NisbeC drew
his revolver and fired. The man
continued to run and Nlsbet
claimed he did not know he had
hit the man until the officers
came to arrest him. Brown ran
some distance after being shot
through the hip, then fell oil a
foot bridge into the creek and
crushed his skull in the fall.
Mr.. Nisbet is a travelling sales
man. His employers and friends,
and ministers, rallied to him in
his trouble. The tragedy was
mentioned in Sunday sermons as
a warning to young men to be-
ware of SHINING against mems
home and enmeshing themselves
in unlawful alliances.

backwards TO the ground. She
then took quick advantage of the
change in the situation and,
springing to her feet, which had
done her such a good turn, she
ran away on them to safety.
although she had not yet recov-
cred sufficient breath to cry out,
try as she would to answer her
mother, who was just then call
ing to her from the house. The
negro recovered himself and
made grab for the young lady,
selzlng her apron, which was
torn in two as Miss Fugate ran
away.
Miss Fugate is sixteen years
old. Her father was on theplace
but in distant field. A neigh

was first to the rescue. When
he heard what had happened he
hurried across to Miss Fugate's
grandfather, who he knew

ing the weapon, started out on
the negro's trail alone. He
tracked him across fields and
into another orchard on farm
some distance away. Coming
within some two hundred feet Of
the fugitive he called to him to
halt, but the fellow looked and
ran, and the young man fired
three ineffective shots after hlm.
In answer to a telephone mes
sage Deputies Grady and Clark
were started from Madisonville
abont one o'clock and reached
the Fugate farm about three
O'Clock in the afternoon. They
expected to be followed by an
other officer, with bloodhound
from Madisonville, but he did
not come then. They started
the search as soon as they could
get at the facts in the case and
were able to follow the trail
from the second orchard, only
five hours old, with little diff
Guilty. In fact, the negro had
not at first seemed to realize the
necessity of concealing his trail
and passed through fields and
along paths, and over fields in
damp bottom land, leaving
tracks that were easy to follow.
But he finally seemed to have
walked up to mis- danger and
passed to higher ground, wher,J
he was shielded by underground
and Oft no tracks.
There are very few negroes
living in Tie Free Henry Ford
country, and all of these are
we'll known to the citizens of
that section. For this reason it
was believed on Friday that this
one was Il straggler from some dis
tant place. He was travelling
toward Muhlenburg county, and
it is thought he crossed the river.
The search was continued
through the night. Policeman
Barton, of Madisonville, reached
the scene about two O'Clock Sat-

the fugitive further, but without

borhood of Anton, this county,
on Monday morning, by a kinss
man of Miss Myrtle Fugate, UNI
der suspicion of having at.
tempted to assault this young
lady, an account of which is
given in another column of this
issue. The arrest was made by
a small party of perhaps half a
dozen men under leadership of a
kinsman of Miss Fugate. 1t was
reported by telephone to Sheriff
Jennings that the arresting
party were starting to take their
prisoner to Free Henry Ford for
Identification and the Sheriff i'm
mediately started for the coun-
try to prevent this, lest violence
might be dozen. Just whether
he overlook the party is not
positively known but it is
thought that the young lady's
kinsman and friends decided to
bring their prisoner to Madison
vile and give him over to the
authorities. Upon arrival at
Madisonville Cusheuberry was
given in charge of Jailer Craig
and locked up. He denied any
knowledge of the crime and
claimed not to have been in the
neighborhood at the time of its
commission, giving names and
places where he claimed to have
been on Friday and since. How
far these assertions have been
Investigated is not known.
News of the arrest took num-
ber of curiosity seekers and
some interested parties to Mad
isonville, and there were prob.
ably two hundred people in the
neighborhood of the jail Monday
afternoon, waiting for the ar
rival of Miss Fugate who they
believed would be brought in to
identify the prisoner. About
this number gathered around the
Jail front when Circuit Judge j.
f. Gordon invited them to come
close so that they could hear
what he had to say.
Judge Gordon addressed the
crowd, the major portion of
whom were citizens Of Madison
vile drawn through curiosity.
He said that doubtless they were
there through curiosity; that
those of them who were not
drawn through curiosity must
have come for some unlawful
purpose. He admonished them
all to go 10 their homes, told the
curious that there would be no
Identification or other thing that
day to satisfy their curiosity,
that if any attempt at violence
should be made they would find
themselves in the wrong place /;
and announced unequivocaIly to
any who might be there for any
unlawful purpose that t h e
prisoner would be protected by
the entire power of the Common
wealth, if necessary, and that
there would be no lynching in
Hopkins county. OF course the
crowd dispersed, though some
were heard to vent such ex-
pressions as eyes, he'll play

ual dissipating of mob talk since.

AUTHENTIC STORY or
THE FACTS IN THE CASE,
Nsishbor's Son, Single Handed. Tracked
Fugitive and Shot at Him.

The attempt made by an un.
known negro to assault Miss
Myrtle Fugate last Friday morn
ing at the home of her father,
George Fugate, whose farm is in
the Pond River country near
Free Henry Ford, caused wide
spread interest throughout the
county, and put on the track of
the miscreant posse of fifty to
seventy five men, most of them
citizens of that part of the coun-
ty, under the leadership of depu-
ty Sheriff Grady, of Madison.
vile, and Rufus N. Clark, of
this place, determined upon his
capture. The posse was we'll
armed and beat up the brush on
the wooded lands into which he
was tracked with great energy
Friday afternoon and night, but
without success. Saturday
morning there was a wild rumor
on the streets of Madisonville
that the negro had been caught
and lynched during the night,
but this was quickly disproven.
Free Henry Ford is pretty
well surrounded with miles of
rough county covered with thick
cts and underbrush on tracts of
land which were formerly we'll
tlmbered but are now stripped
of workable timber. 1t was into
this sort of cover the fugitive
fled, and through which he made
his escape, followed some five
hours later by the posse. Most
OF the men of the neighborhood
were in Madisonyille on account
of the fair when the outrage was
attempted and a posse could not
be formed at once.
Because of the fact that there
is only one telephone within tw
miles of the Fugate home, and
the further fact there was no.
body to come out of that country
to bring the LOWS, it was diff
cult TO learn any definite details
Friday night, and numerous
stories have since gone around
and gained credence. The fol-
lowing account, obtained by THE
BEE from a gentleman who was
with the deputy sheriff and
talked with the young lady, be-
sides participating in the search
as long as there was any trail to
follow in Hopkins county, is the
most accurate and detailed story
of the occurrences that has been
offered.
The attempt, which was sig
nally failure, owing wholly to
alertness and presence of mind
on the part of the young lady,
was made about nine O'Clock
in the orchard not far from the
family residence. Miss Fugate
hod gone for some fruit and was
nearing an early peach tree,
looking mp, with stick in her
hand with which to knock the
peaches. Without hearing his
approach she was suddenly
grabbed from behind by a power
ful and strange negro and thrown
violently to the ground. Her
assailant clapped his hand oyer
her mouth and told her he was
"going to cut her head off, but
he displayed no knife or other
weapon. She was slightly
stunned by the violence of the
fall and could make no outcry,
but with rare courage and pres
ence Of mind she drew up both
feet, as he stopped over her with
his hand on her mouth, and
kicked HIM full in the face with
