BROTHER KILLS
BROTHER
ERNEST RANKIN OF DARKS MILL
SHOT AND KILLED BY
SHORTER RANKIN.
MOTHER MAKES INTELLECTUAL
ATTEMPT TO PREVENT TRAGEDY
And is Wounded in the StruggIe-The
Old Story of Cain and Able Re-
enacted-No Arrest
Made.

A deplorable killing took place late
Friday afternoon on the Mumford
Rankin place which Ernest Rankin
lost his life at the hands of his broth
er, Shorter.
Reports of the cause leading up to
the tragedy differ, but it seems to be
the old story of Cain and Able-one
brother jealous of imagined favorit-
ism shown the other brother by the
parents. Shorter Rankin went to Cal
ifornia last fall to seek his fortune
and was furnished with money for the
trip by the parents. Fortune it seems
did not smile on him and he made re-
peated demands on his parents for
more money, finally being furnished
funds to return home. He reached
home about ten days since, and since
that time the boys are said to have
had trouble, the older brother, Ernest
upraiding the younger brother for his
extravaganza and wastefulness.
Friday afternoon Ernest returned
late from town in partially intoxi-
Gated condition and was reproached
by the younger brother out at the barn
for keeping one of the mules in town
so late. The two brothers had diff
ficulty at the barn over the matter
and the younger brother retreated
into the house, followed by the older
brother, who had picked up Ratchet.
The mother and father were seated in
the room in which Shorter, the
younger brother took refuge, and as
the older brother advanced to the at
tax the mother rushed between the
two and tried to stop Ernest. In the
struggle, the mother received a cut
across the head either from the hatch
ct in the hands of one son or some in
strument in the hands of the other.
In the meantime the younger broth
er had picked up a shotgun and as his
brother advanced more closely, fired |
The load of buckshot struck near the |
heart, tearing a fearful hole in the !
young mans body, and resulted in in
slant death.
The Rankin family is fairly we'll
TODD and prominent in the neighbor- |
hood and the tragedy is a source of
deep regret. Mr. and Mrs. Rankin
and the younger son, Shorter, were the
only members of the family. Ernest
married a Miss Oakley few years
since and his home was about one-half
mile from his fathers. He leaves a
wife and one little daughter
The funeral was this afternoon at 2
o'clock at West Point.
No arrest has been made.

ROOSEVELT
SUGGESTED AS SUCCESSOR To
PRESIDENT HARPER OF
CHICAGO UNIVERSITY.

CHICAGO Jan. 12.-Talk of elect
ing President Roosevelt as the sue
cessor of the late President Harper,
at the head of the Chicago Univer-
s:ty, has become strong in uniyer-
sity circles. It is declared to have
been one of the hopes of DIR. Harper
during the last months of his life
that the way could be cleared to
lave President Roosevelt take the
head of the university at the coa-
ciusion of his presidential term. To
bring this about it would be necas-
sary to alter the constitution of the
university, which declares that only
a Baptist may be the president.
President Roosevelt worships in the
Dutch Reformed Church.
1t has been definitely decided AIT
the final resting place of President
Harper shall be in a memorial chap
ter to be erected on the university
Until the completion Of
the chapel the body will remain in
the vault at Oakwood Cemetery.

CENTREVILLE, Tenn, Jan 49,
The Democratic mass convention held
here today was organized by the Cox
men and delegates were appointed and
instructed accordingly. The conven-
ton was not harmonious The Patter-
son men were out in force and protest
ed against the methods pursued by
the Democratic Committee in giving
only four days notice of the call, and
that through the county paper, which
did not reach many portions OF the
county until today, the day of the CON
vention. This call, it is claimed by
the Patterson men, was made without
the knowledge Of many of the Demo
cratic committeeman, and was not
signed by the chairman of the com
mittee.
Believing that the convention was
packed by a Cox crowd, three extra
coaches having been sent out from
Dickson to bring 100 or more from the
upper part of the county and some
from Dickson county, many Of the
Patterson men left the opera house
They repaired to the court

Rev. J. r. Stewart, who is Secre

pointed to raise a fund of $5,000,000

children, made two addresses to the
congregation of the First Methodist
Church Sunday. Each conference of
the Southern church is assessed an
nually to support these aged servants
of the church and their widows and
minor children, but the fund thus
raised has been found insufficient, SO

HOME TELEPHONE COMPANY
PROPOSES TO OPERATE IN
NASHVILLE.
Representative Says Work of Install
ing System Will Begin This Year.
Act of 1885 Relied on.

An officer of the Nashville Home
Telephone Company on Sunday made
the positive statement that that com.
pany would begin the installation of a
telephone system in Nashville dur
ing the present year, and that in the
central part of the city it's wires
would be put in the same excavation
with the other wires of the city. 1t
had made persistent efforts to secure
franchise from the city, but both the
bills granting it franchise, which
were introduced in the City Council,
were rejected. The company desired
to treat the Council with due defer
ence by pursuing the course common
ly pursued by companies proposing to
establish utilities, such a telephone
plant, in the city, and. therefore, ap-
piled to it for franchise, or rather
asking to submit the question of
granting it a franchise to the quail
fed voters of the city.
Now that it's efforts to secure
franchise from the Council by legiti-
mate means had proved unavailing, it
proposed to establish a telephone
plant in Nashville without further
dickering with the Council, and with
in period of two years it is expect
ed to install 5000 telephones in that
city. The company considered it had
legal right to install telephone
plant in Nashville, and it believed
that no person, natural or artificial,
could legally prevent it from accom-
plishing its purpose.
1t is believed the company proposes
to install plant in Nashville under
the law passed by the Legislature in
1885, which confers on telephone COM
panies right to construct, operate
and maintain telephone lines "along
and over the public highways and
streets of the cities and towns of this |
State, or across and under the waters, |
and over any lands or public works
belonging to this State, and on and |
over the lands of private individuals, |
and upon, along and parallel to any |
Of the railroads or turnpikes of this
State, and on and over the bridges, |

roads" 1t is said that already TWEEN (

Grated in towns of Tennessee under
his law-Nashville American.

MUST DO WASHING
OR OTHER HEAVY WORK.

COLUMBUS, o., Jan. 13.-Mrs.
Chadwick arrived at the penitentiary
today from Cleveland at II am. to
begin a sentence of ten years. The
gage room under the general waiting
room in the Union Station and hastily
placed in a cab in the driveway and
hurried off to the prison. Ten police
men were sent to the station to keep
the crowd back and three policemen
escorted the woman to the cab.
No special preparations were made
in the women's department for the re-
ception of Mrs. Chadwick. She will
be compelled to sleep on a cot in the
corridor of the prison as the woman's
department is filed and every bed oc-
cupied.
The following entry was made in
the book at the prison: Miss Cassie
L. Chadwick, alias Madame Devere-
Ten years-conspiracy to wreck a ma
tional bank, Cuyahoga county, receiv-
ed January IL, 1906, expires January
IL, 1916, good time November, 1912"
The prison officials are skeptical
as to the illness of Mrs. Chadwick.
They think the reports that she has
heart trouble are groundless and after
an examination If it is found she is
able, she will be put to washing or
other heavy work. If not she will be
placed in the sewing department.

Emulsion a S hort time
ago. AS a rule we don t
use or refer to testimonials

made so often in connec-
ton with SCOTS Emulsion
that they are worthy of
occasional note. From

Emulsion offers a reliable
means of remedying i'm

ment, restoring lost flesh
