Mr.. Knox was Southern man. He
was born in Bowling Green, KY, Oct.
Z, 1874. When he was little more
than boy he entered the service of
the Nashville & Chattanooga Railroad.
That was in 1860, and for two years
he served under Col. N. B. Akin Then
came the time when the Confederate
troops left Nashville and Middle Ten
nessee, and the railroad company's
equipment also was moved.
In December, three years later, Mr..
Knox re-entered the service of the
same railroad company and has since
been in the service Of the road.
On Feb. Is, 1868, Mr. Knox was mar
ried in Columbia, Tenn, to Miss &c.

THE FACTS ABOUT The
COLUMBIA CONVENTION

To the Democracy Of the goth Senator
iaI District:
AS there has been great deal said
about the recent Senatorial Convention
at Columbia, we deem it just to all
parties to make the following state
ment Of the main facts as they occur
red.
Before the meeting of the conven-
ton the Perry County delegation met
with the following gentlemen from
Maury, to-wit: Jonas T. Amis, E. H.
Hatcher, w. c. Salmon and F. D. Ian
der, for a conference on the situation,
and the name of Capt. Webb was pre-
sented by Perry, but the Maury coun-
ty delegation stated that while they
had no objection to Capt. Webb per
sonally, and without meaning any re-
Election on his character as christian
gentleman, that on account of Capt.
Webb having been a member of and
an officer in Hearst's Cavalry during
the war, that the old Confederate sol
diers of Maury would not support him
and that they were afraid he could not
be elected; some one from Perry coun-
ty then asked Would you support an
other man from Perry county," and
the Maury delegation said, yes, II
you will present an acceptable man,
Maury county has no candidate.
Mr.. Tubbs then asked, Who would
you support from Perry?" and Mr.
Hatcher said, We DO not know your
people, but give us an acceptable man
and we will support him."
Mr.. Sloan then withdrew for con
ference with Capt. Webb, and soon
returned and stated that Capt. Webb
said, "he could not afford to retire un
der fire." Some one then remarked
that Perry declines to present any
other name" and Mr.. Sloan said they
were sent instructed for Capt. Webt
and that they could not present any
other name.
The conference then adjourned tC
the convention hall, and Mr. Hatcher
nominated Mr.. Greenlaw of Maury ant
Hon. F. L. Schubert of Lewis. nominal
ed Capt. Webb, and Mr.. Sloan second
ed the nomination of Capt Webb, say
ing that Perry County Democrat
would support the nominee Of the
convention. Mr.. Greenlaw at frs
declined to accept the nomination. bu
finally said he would yield to thu
wishes of his friends. Mr.. Schubert
of Lewis, then moved to make thu
nomination of Mr.. Greenlaw unani
nous, and this motion was put to tn
convention by Mr. Sloan, who was II
the chair, and was carried without
dissenting voice, and the convention
then adjourned.

a turn for the worse which meant only
one thing-a surgical operation. This

feelings for my competitor, Capt.

by me, but on the contrary was, as the

that l could not ignore. Now as your

deem 1t not out of place to further
add that Capt. Webb himself for a
considerable time acquiesced in and
agreed to my nomination, and some
hours after the convention adjourned
he told one of the highest officials in
the state that he would not run against
the nominee of the convention, and
told others the same.
Whatever may be said of the "Ho-
henwald agreement" how can Capt.
Webb justify his claim to the nominar
ton under the same, after going into
the convention and through himself
and his friends declaring they would
support the nominee Of the conven-
ton?

Webb's Independent candidacy, beg

heretofore existing between the coun-
ties of this District. Has not Perry

MIGHTY BLAST
FROM HIGH PEAK
STARTING SIGNAL IN GOLD SEEK.
Frs RAcE-sIGHT A SPEC
TABULAR ONE.
Rush at Opening Of the Walter Lake
Indian Lands.

THoRNE, New, Oct. 29.-With the
firing of a mighty blast of dynamite
from the top of Grant Peak, the high
pst point in the adjacent mountains,
the Walker Lake Indian reservation
was opened at noon today.
At the given signal hundreds of
searchers for gold hurried heller
skelter over the boundary lines of
Main and mountain, and before the
great cloud of smoke which rose into
the air from the dynamite explosion
had drifted away, spectacular race
NJ automobiles, race horses and We
hicles was on. So great was the rush
across the desert from the line near
est Hawthorne that a number of per-
sons narrowly escaped being tramp
led over and in numerous instances
injuries were reported.
Horses were ridden until they drop
ned, and automobiles became stalled
in the deep sands. Jaded and over
come by thirst, numbers of prospec-
tors barely summoned enough strength
to make their locations.
Those who had waited for the sig
nal from the top of Mount Grant be-
fore rushing into the reservation found
that all the most valuable claims in
the vicinity of the rich Dutchman's
Cottonwood and numerous other
creeks emptying into the Southwest
ern section of Walker Lake had been
taken by men who had rushed in dur
ing the night before, contrary to law
Even men who employed launches to
take them across Walker Lake from
the eastern side found that thf' FL
forts we're of no avail. d e we're
much too late to be a eq footing
with the men who had sgarded
the law.
The opening of the reservation was
not as imposing as it promised to De
on account of the fact that countless
numbers of miners had fiocked in dur
ing the night and early morning, com
pletely overwhelming the Indian pc
lice, of whom there was but fourteen
to guard seventy-five miles OF terri
tory.
Special Land Agent Parks deplores
the fact that the rush was allowed tc
take place when it was known thai
the laws of the United States In re
gard to opening a reservation had peer
evaded He says there is yet a posi-
bility that the present opening may
be declared invalid and new one
called for.
Substitute Indian Agent Rober'
Lovegrove declared today that United
States engineers sent here to carry
out reclamation work on a portion O
the Walker land reservation that hat
been allotted to the Indians had oc
cupied their time In placing launcne'

WHAT Is DOING
THE WORLD OVER.
a WORD ABOUT THE LEADING
EVENTS OF THE WEEK
IS ThIs the Russian uprIslna .

Is This the Russian Uprisina7
A mutiny Of threatening size occurred
among the garrison Of the great Russian
sveaborg fortress in northern Russia Tues
day. II appears that a wide conspiracy
has existed among the garrisons Of svea-
borg, CrOnstadt and Sebastopol to rise at
concerted moment. On account of the
death Of one OF their comrades from i'll
treatment, the sappers at Svea borg took
the step prematurely, and we're Joined by
the marines. The mutineers seized 20
machine guns and many quickfrers, and
prepared to hold their own against the
loyal troops, mostly in fantry men and
Cossacks. The naval squadron, consisting
OF nine vessels, also joined in the attack
on the mutueers. A bloody battle waged
all day. The latest bulletin was that the
entire fortress bad fallen into the hands
OF the insurgents, who were thus supplied
with all kinds of munitions. The social
lists among the citizens seem to have lent
aid 10 the rebels. This stroke is liable to
have far-reaching effect In Russia, where
somethia z OF the kind has been antici-
pated since the recent dismissal Of the
dOuma by the car, and the announced in
teltion Of the government TO check the
liberal movement. The signers of the VII
borg manifesto will be taken on the
charge Of treason.
