STOCKHOLDERS.
In Hopkinsville May Get
Back Their Money.

Word has been received from Chi
cago by Homer Batson and Benja-
min F. Washer, attorneys for the
Mutual Investment Company, and
Lexington debenture concern which
recently went under, that Judge G.
c. Kohlsaat has decided that about
$3.50, 900 Of assets belonging to the
concern may be turned over to
James c. Rogers, the Kentucky re-
ceiver. The Southern Mutual Invest
ment Company, was merged into
the American Reserve Bond Com
pany, and on account of this merger
there was a question as to whether
the Kentucky receiver could recover
the assets in question. Their recov-
cry means an increased dividend for
the stockholders at the final division.

MAN CUT
IN TWAIN.
Body Found Early MONDAY
Morning Along l. c.
Track.
WAS 70 YEARS OF AGE.
Was Employed as Laborer
on James Hyland's
Section.

1t was a gruesome object that met
the eye of the crowd down at the l.
| c. station yesterday morning, a lit
tie after Z o'clock. The body Of
Charlie Wilson, colored, was lying
against the wall on the North end of
the platform of the station. The
body had been cut an twain by an I.
c. train. The Coroner had covered
the dead man with a sheet, but oc-
casionally some friend or acquaint-
ance would raise it and take a look
at the features of the dead man.
The small hand. car on which he
had been brought TO the station was
standing alongside the platform, the
floor Of the little car covered with
the dead mans blood, which con
tinued to flow over the platform as
the body was carried from the car
and placed against the north end of
the station awaiting investigation by
a coroner's jury.
Wilson's home was on Barrow
street, a narrow street running
south from West Seventh street,
near the city limits. He left home
about 5 o'clock and told his wife he
was going to take walk down the
l. C. track.
Early yesterday morning his body
was found about 200 feet south of
the water tank, in the yards of the
|. C. road. James Hyland, boss of
section No. %. was notified and
Coroner Allensworth called up. Mr..
Hyland was directed to bring the re-
mains of Wilson to the station. Hy-
land got his crew together and
brought the man in on one Of his
hand cars. The Coroner at once
summoned a jury who rendered a
judgment in accordance with the
above.
The only theOryas to how the man
met such a horrible death is that he
had attempted to jump on the south
bound train as it was leaving the
city and missed his footing and fell
under the train. 1t was said by one
of the men who assisted in putting
Wilson on the hand-car that he was
dragged about 20 feet from where
he was caught under the wheels Of

Old Man rs Years Old Beat
en- With a Stick BY
Outlaws.
HE KNOWS THE MEN.
Other Fiendish Crimes In
Governor Patterson's
Bailiwick.

Dover, Tenn, Nov. 24.-The night
riders who again made their appear
ance in this county Monday night of
last week, visited several farmers
on the north side Of the river. The
first seen of the riders was when
they rode through Bumpus Mills,
and it is reported that there were
fifty or sixty in the gang" They
first called on John Melton, who was
sick in bed. His wife told them that
he could not come out. They replied
that he had better crawl to the door
il he could not get there any other
way. Mr.. Melton had been keeping
an independent buyer for one or'two
nights, and the riders told him that
he must not allow another independ-
emit buyer to stay with him. They
then went to the home of Lewis
Downs and instructed him not to
keep any Independent buyers. After
leaving Downs they went in search
of George Deep, but Deep saw them
coming up to his gate and took to
the bushes. Failing to catch Deep,
they informed his wife that they
would be back after him some other
night. They then went to the house
of ]. E. Parker, on the north bank
of the river, opposite this place, but
Parker succeeded in getting away.
Next they went to the house of Ber-
ry Wallace, an old man, about rs
years of age. Mr.. Wallace opened
fire on them, but does not know if
he hit any one. They took Wallace
out and whipped him. His back was
cut in several places and they also.
whipped him with a tobacco stick,
striking him across the back and
bruising him very badly. He was
also struck across his hand with a
stick, breaking his hand.
Mr.. Wallace was not a member of
the association, but itseems that the
books had been closed, and that he
had made efforts to join, but could
not get in. He sold his crop of to-
bacco to an independent buyer,
which was only a small crop of about
900 sticks.
Mr.. Wallace says that he knows
three of the men who whipped him,
and his wife, who begged them to
stop. says, she is positive tn tsh
knows one of them. 1t is also re-
ported that Mr.. Downs recognized
one or two of them.
Mr.. Wallace is now in a serious
condition and has not yet given out
any names, but says he will do so as
soon as he is able to come to town.
This is the first time the night
riders have whipped any one in this
county, but in the spring they de-
stroyed several plant beds. Mr..
Wallace's house was shot into sever
al times by the night riders, and he
says that he does not know how they
missed him. There are something
like fifty bullet holes through his
front door.
1t is rumored that Mr.. Wallace
will implicate some men who are
prominent farmers and who have
been held above suspicion.

DEATH BED
CONFINED from First rasc.)

the concern a reached $4,000 barrels a
year. s
Under Stengel's direction it took on re-
newed growth. He soon became general
manager, and for several years before Mr..
Feigenspan's death, which occurred nine
years ago, was acting president, with the
complete direction of the business in
charge. He was a great believer in adj
vertising and the business grew steadily
until today the output Is 100000 barrels.
Mr.. Stengel was at the time of his death
president OF he corporation, and a large
owner of stock, though the majority In
terests remained in the Feigenspan family.
Mr.. Stengel was kept az president of the
corporation on account of his ability as a
business man, the members of the Feigen-
span family having complete confidence in
him.
Mr.. Stengel and Mrs. Feigenspan had
been thrown together much before Mr..
Feigenspan's death, owing to the latter's
physical condition prior to his death, and
afterwards the business relations between
Mr.. Stengel and the Feigenspan family
necessarily became close. This developed
into mutual feeling of admiration and re-
spect between Mr.. Stengel and Mrs.
Feigenspan. which ended in devotion.
Their wedding had been limited before

chief obstacle was the children IND step
children of the widow and the vastly inter-
mixed business relations of all. Mrs.
Feigenspan was her husbands second wife,
and bore him several children. She is a
native Newarker and Is about so years
old.
Mr.. Stengel met death in an effort to
insure good health rather than to relieve
critical Illness. For many months he had
been troubled with something like appendi-
citis. He consulted DR.. H. C. H.. Herold,
his physician, and he advised him to select
some o%pportune time and have the appen'
dix removed. His excellent general health
and his superb physical development,
brought about and sustained by constant
physical culture, Of which he was a de-
votee. were taken into consideration in
giving him this advice. Practically nc
danger was ~prophesied. MFR. Stengel was
noted as a man who took good care of i'm
self physically at all times.
On Monday of last week. accompanied
by his family physician, DIR. II. G. III
