TERRIBLY INJURED
Sam PenIand Nearly Torn To
Pieces By Premature Blast.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. Feb. o.
Torn nearly to bits, and yet with his
heart beating and the desire to live
Sam Penland or rather what was left
of him was at about midnight Thurs
day brought into the city on freight
train from Russell Camp No. 1, of the
Oliver Construction Company, below
the dam. He was taken to the Erlan-
ger Hospital where his numerous in.
juries were attended to.
Penland was engaged doing some
blasting along with number of other
laborers, and was carrying box con-
tanning a hundred dynamite caps into
the mine. The lid of the box was op-
en-. Penland struck match, it is
claimed, to light fuse to blast, the
match dropped into the box, and ter
rife explosion resulted, the caps going
off in his hands. Penland's left hand
was entirely blown off. One eye was
completely blown out, and the other so
affected that only light very dimly can
penetrate it. The fingers of the right
hand were so badly torn that they had
to be amputated Besides these inju-
ries the explosion knocked out nearly
all his teeth, split his lower lip to the
bottom of his chin, lacerated his face
chest, thighs and legs and caused Sc
we're internal injuries A number OF
the caps became imbedded in the skin
and the powder burns extended over
his entire body. Penland lay uncon-
scious for several hours despite the
strenuous efforts of his fellow work
men to resuscitate him. He awoke
finally, but his agonies were almost
uncomfortable, and it was impossible tc
secure medical aid. . His comrades
bound up his wounds as best they
could in am endeavor to staunch the
flow of blood and he was then placed
on steamer which carried him fo1
ten miles to the nearest railroad sta
tion There he was placed ON train
which finally brought hina here.

Washington, Jan. 30.-Tbe presi-

vinced that the government should
abandon it's plan of having the Pana-

tract.
The differences of the last several
weeks in dealiTr~ with the bids of con-
tractors has strengthened his conten-
tion that the government should build
the canal
1t is for this reason that official ex-
ceptions have been taken to the dec.

Tenn, that his bid had been condition
ally accepted The statement issued
by the canal commission Sunday
night merely announced that Oliver
would be given ten days time in which
to make good his bid.

is very little probability of any bids
meeting the requirements Corrober-

SLEUTH IS. TRYING
To SECURE REWARD
E. c. Curry Claims He Placed
the Guilt of StarbuCk
Murder on Gipe.
CASE UP IN LOCAL COURT
BROUGHT HERE FROM NEW CAS-
TIE ON A CHANGE OF VENUE
TESTIMONY TAKEN AND ARGU-
MENT ToB MADE FEB. 9.

Elmer c. Curry is the name of a
sleuth who hunts red handed crimi-
mails over in Henry county, and
through legal procedure he is endeav-
oring to compel the board of commits
sioners thereof to pay him the sum of
$500, to which he claims he is justly
entitled for arresting Haley Gipe, the
murderer of Mrs. Mollie Starbuck, and
her babe. The sensation created by
the finding of the bodies of the moth
er and child in a well on the Starbuck
farm, is still fresh in the minds of
newspaper readers.
The case was placed on trial before
Judge Fox in the Wayne county cir
cult court yesterday morning, and the
testimony was all in by the middle of
the afternoon. An agreement was
then reached between the attorneys
that the case should be argued Feb. 8.
Curry. was represented by Wilfred
Jessup of this county and S. II. Brown
of New Castle. Fred c. Cause of New
Castle and w. H. Kelly appeared for
the commissioners. In stating to the
court the cause of complaint, Attorney
Brown called attention to the reward
of $500 offered by the commissioners
for the conviction of the murderer or
murderers of Mrs. Starbuck, and de-
clared that while Gipe was originally
arrested for theft, it was through Cur
ry that the charge of murder was plac-
ed opposite his name
In his presentation of the case for
/ = H~ x1lr4 A ax-.
several reasons, as he claimed, why
Curry was not entitled to the reward.
One of them was that Gipe had simply
been convicted of manslaughter, and
that under the law, rewards offered by
county commissioners could not be
paid only in the case of one being con-
victed of murder or lynchirg. He al
so called attention to the fact that
Gipe had really been arrested by ex-
Sheriff Christopher, instead of Curry.
Among the witnesses examined was
Aaron Mccormick, father of Mrs. Star
buck. He related a visit that Curry
had paid to him, and endeavOred to
convince him that Will Starbuck, his
daughters husband, had killed her. He
declared that Curry insisted so siren
uously that his son-in-law had murder
cd his wife, that he became quite an
CRY with him, telling him that nothing
but the most positive evidence would
convince him of the young mans guilt.
John Hudson, who lives about a half
mile west of the Starbuck farm, tes-
titled during the afternoon. He was
one of the first persons on the scene
of the murder, and was active in rails
ing money to prosecute the search for
the murderer. He told of several con-
versations with Curry, one of which
related to the fact that the funds rails
ed by private subscription were run
ming low On that occasion he told
the detective that he turned what
money he had collected over to Chris
topher, and then added:
Il understand that the county COM
missioners intend to offer reward in
a few days
oh d--n that" was the reply of
Curry, according to the witness. Il
expect to get paid for what l do
