With Contract. ~

Judge Sandidge decided the case
of A. L. Hightower VS.. D. S. Latham
in favor of the defendant. Latham
was on J. M. Burgess bond in Trigg
county and offered Hightower 500

tive from justice, and deliver him to
the jailer of Trigg county. High
tower decoyed Burgess into the
Cumberland Telephone Company's
office here, where Sheriff Shelton
and Deputy Sullivan arrested him.
They lodged him in Jail here, and
Burgess subsequently escaped. La
than refused to pay Hightower, and

Washington, Dec. 12.-President
Roosevelt will not be a candidate for
a third term. All doubt on that
point was last night dispelled by the
authoritative statement from the
White House that Mr., Roosevelt still
adheres to the declaration of renun-
citation made on the night of the
election three years ago. In the
statement issued last night, Presi-
dent Roosevelt says he has not
changed and shall not change the
decision communicated to the Amer
lean people in 1904
1t appears that President Roose-
welt had been awaiting the call for
the Republican national convention
to afford the proper opportunity for
making his position clear and unmis-
taxable, thus leaving the field clear

Foraker and other declared or re.
ceptive candidates for the Republi-
can nomination,

100000 which will leave $4,000 as
a nucleus for a campaign fund. The
choice was made on the second ballot,
and Louisville lost because the as
surance that the money pledged
would be paid came too late, and
then, anyway, 100000 is more than

Succumbs to the Wound In
flicted by Will Winfree's
Pistol.
BURIED YESTERDAY.
City Officials Were Pail
Bearers at His Own
Request.

Policeman Charles E. Hord died at
eight o'clock Thursday morning
from the effects of wound inflicted
by Will P. Winfree, Jr., Tuesday
about noon. A surgeon came over
from Nashville Tuesday night and
decided that an operation would be
useless. Paralysis of his lower limbs
was caused by the lodging of the
bullet in his spine, and death was
inevitable. He suffered greatly
during the two days he survived,
though he was tenderly cared for by
his devoted wife and friends.
Y Mr.. Hord was AZ years of age and
was born in this county. He was,
when a young, man a clerk in the
grocery of ]. G.. Hord. Later he
became a guard at the workhouse
'Psnd finally became a member of the
police force of the city. He was
elected two years ago and on Jan.
A, 1906, was badly wounded by a
shot from his own pistol, which fell
from his pocket. He recovered af-
ter about four months of confne-
ment and was gradually regaining
his strength, as he was a man of
large physique and robust constitu-
ton. His record on the force had
been creditable. He was faithful,
reliable and courageous in the. dis
charge of his duties.
He leaves no family excepting a
wife, who was the widow of T. H.
Hickman, and a stepson about IL
years old. Mr.. Hord stated from
the first that he believed his wound
would cause his death. He made an
ante-mortem statement, prOfessed a
strong hope of salvation and declared
that he would leave the world with
kindly feelings towards all
Burial services, simple and brief

The Crack In the Bell.

As every schoolboy and school
girl knows, the Liberty bell in the
old statehouse at Philadelphia has
a crack in it,, but it is likely that
few of them know how the crack
was made. There have been told
many conflicting stories about it,
but the fact is that it was cracked
on the morning of July 8, 1885,
while being tolled in memory OF
Chief Justice John Marshall, who
died in Philadelphia July 6 and
whose remains were being removed
to the steamboat wharf for trans
portation to their last resting place
at Richmond, Va. 1t is said, how
ever, that the crack was enlarged
by subsequent ringing.
