 A victory for better things and an evil dence that the lesses desire to do the very best for all the convicts in their care, is the appointment just made of Warden T. c. Dawson to have charge of all the convicts at Flat Top, operated by the Sloss- Sheffield Steel and Iron com pany at Flat Top. Mr. Dawson has been in charge of the state prisoners for some years and is regarded as one of the best and most humane men in his work in the south.

way to the churches for religious
service, the city fire bell began to
ring. 1t was learned that Emory
McCnllough's barn, 10 the south
east part OF town was on fire. The
fire department was soon on the
grounds. Their whole attention
was turned to putting out the
flames, bat it was soon learned
that their efforts could be of little
avail.
Two horses were lost in the
flames besides about 60 bales of
straw and other feed. The build
ing belonged to Mrs. CORN aud
was rented to Mccullough.
But for several hours past How
ard Mccullough, a brother of Em.
cry, had been missed, and Pete
Mccullough, the father, early sus.
picioned that he had been burned
in the barn. Later, on investiga-
ton, his charred body was found.
He was last seen about 5 O'Clock
in the afternoon by his brother,
Emery Mccullough, and the lat
ter's brother-iu-law, William
Young. Emery Mccullough had
gone to his barn about 1880 D. m.
to attend to his delivery horses
and clean the barn. About 4
O'Clock he was joined there by his
brother and Young There the
three remained until about j:I5
when Emery and Young. who
live in same house, left tn. barn
to return to their home. Howard
Mccullough said that he would be
along presently. and woul latch
the doors of the barn wa.n he
left.
At the coroner's inquest held
Monday morning Pete McCul-
Tough, the father, stated that his
son, Howard, got on periodical
sprees, and that it was his sons
habit of calling each Sunday to
visit his father who live only a
few doors distant. He said that
Sunday, Howard had failed to put
in his appearance and late in the
afternoon he proceeded to his
sons home to ascertain his where.
abouts.
Being informed that he was not
at his home, Mr.. Mccullough then
went to the home of his other son.,
Emery, where he learned that only
a short while before he had left
Howard at his barn.
Howard Mccullough had heen
yard foreman for the La Crosse
Lumber Co. here for 20 years. Il
was in his Both year and is sur
yived by wife and three children
and his parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Pete Mccullough, and two broth
ers, Emery of this city aud Rich
ard of Camden, Ark. He was
faithful and painstaking in all his
work and enjoyed the fell conf
donce Of his employers.
Just how he came to his death
will always remain mystery.
Emery Mccullough states that
two of his horses were of a vi.
cious disposition aud kicked VIC.
lently at the least provocation,
and it is his opinion that his
brother, who smoked considerably,
was possibly in the act of lighting
a cigar and was kicked by one Of
these horses. and the lighted match
or the cigar stab set fire to the
bedding Of the stable.
