Bristol, Tenn. Especially. - When
confronted with conclusive evidence
of his guilt in numbering Mrs. Will
liam Garrett, at Abingdon, IA miles
east of Bristol, John w. Hawkins,
aged 80 years, in the presence of his
wife and three small children, COM
mitted suicide by blowing his head
off with the same gun with which he
had a few hours before committed
one of the most shocking murders in
this section.
Illicit love had existed between
Hawkins and Mrs. Garrett for several
years, Notwithstanding the fact that
the former had a respected young
wife and three children. The murder
was the outcome of a quarrel, which
was about to conclude The liason.
Mrs. Garrett started from the home
of J. II. Gildersleeve, a prominent
citizen of Abingdon, late Saturday
night. and as she was crossing a
dark alley leading to her home. a
douhle-barrel shotgun was emptied
in her direction from the darkness
and Mr.. Gildersleeve a few hours
later stumbled over her -iifeless body.
The woman's head had been COM
pletely blown from her shoulders and
two empty shells were found near
her.

Western Hemisphere.

New York, (SpeciaD The United
States now holds the record of far
thest north"-S7 degrees 6 minutes.
This feat was accomplished by Com
mander Robert f. Peary, of the
United States Navy.
The intrepid Arctic explorer failed
to reach the North Pole, as he had
confidently hoped to do with his spec
tally constructed vessel, the ROose-
welt, but he penetrated nearer to the
Pole than the Duke of Abruzzi's ex-
pedition, which had held the Arctic
record, sc degrees "a minutes.
What Commander Peary did and
his experiences during the past year
in the frozen North are rather briefly,
but certainly vividly, summarized in
communication received Friday
night by Herbert L. Bridgeman, sec
retary of the Peary Arctic Club. This
communication follows:
A Succinct Narrative.
Hopedale, Labrador, via Twillingate,
n. F., November 2.
Herbert l.. Bridgeman:
Roosevelt wintered north coast

winter quarters. Went north with
sledges February via Heckla. and Co

tween "a degrees and S5 degrees.
Beyond 50 degrees six days. Gale

off communication with supporting
bodies and drifted due east. Reach
81 degrees 6 minutes north latitude
over the ice, drifting steadily east

Drifted eastward; delayed by open
water; reached north coast Greenland
in straitened conditions. Killed musk
oxen and returned along Greenland
Coast to ship. Two supporting par
ties driven on north coast of Green
land. One. rescued by me in starv-
ing condition. After one week recu-
peration on Roosevelt sledged west.

and reached other land, near one
hundredth meridian. Homeward voy-
age incessant battle with ice, storms
and head, winds. Roosevelt mag
niticent ice fighter and sea boat No
deaths or illness in expedition.
(Signed) Peary.
Mr.. Bridgeman said that the re-
ceipt of any news from the explorer
now was quite a surprise to him, be-
cause he had supposed it had be-
come too late in the season for Com
mander Peary to send news of his
venture.
How The Message Came.
Mr.. Bridgeman. added that the
message spoke for itself and that
since he did not know more of the
results of Commander Peary's eff
fort to reach the Pole than the public
did, he could hardly comment upon
the dispatch There was little doubt,
however, he said. that Commander
Peary was coming home. This seems
to be borne out by the routing of the
dispatch. Hopedale, or Hoffenthal,
is a Moravian mission station on the
east coast of Labrador. Twillingate
is a port on the east coast of New
foundland.
Mr.. Bridgeman said the message
was probably mailed by Commander
Peary from Hopedale to the most
accessible cable point.

Court.

Court came 10 sudden close on We'd
nesday. The jury had reported for duty,
some motions and special business was
transacted, but when it came to try cases
there didn't appear to be anybody ready.
In most cases it was the want OF witnesses
who we're delayed for some reason. The
judge then adjourned court until July 9th
when the same jury will be recalled.
In the criminal cases, Fadden was
allowed to go on his own recognizance,
as his family are quarntined for dlpther;a.
In the Henderson rape case in which the
Fadden family are the witnesses, the
same quarantine interfered with the trial
at this time.
In the cases Of several persons VS.. Bar
ron the attendance of Surveyor Mott was
required and he was not present. In
Johnson VS. Goidstein the attorney for
the plaintiff was not here.
Lawrence Richardson plead guilty to
the charge of being an accessory in a
wheat stealing case and was put under
bond and sentence suspended. He is
only fourteen years Of age.

We understand that considerable feel
ing was engendered at St. Vincent on &C.
count of no one from Pembina attending
the Firemen's ball Friday evening last.
1t is said that some even go so far as
to say there was an allied understanding
among The young people to absent them
selves for petit reasons. The fact that
no one from here attended the ball is to
be regretted, and is lnexp|ainable, as the
people Of st. Vincent did everything in
their power to make it success, and it
was one Of the most elaborate affairs ev-
er held IN these parts, the Pembina dane
ers absence notwithstanding. That there
is any feeling here against the peo-
pie across the river is mistake we are
in position to say-but the fact that no
one attended the ball when it was known
tor what purpose it was given, makes an
apology due the fire department. At
this time dances are not as popular as in
the winter, which accounted for other
neighborirg towns not being represented
with their usual number. The receipts
were over 800.
