The Game Of Chess,

Chess is Of great antiquity, and it's
origin is lost in obscurity. Though
nearly every nation under the sun
claims the invention of the pastime, it
Is undoubtedly of oriental origin. The
Romans placed over the door of the
temple of Janus lex Oriente Lux ct
Ludus Scacchorum" COut of the east
came light and the game of chess').
Chess was called by the Hindoos
"cheturanga," the four angas-that is,
the four members of the army-ele-
plants, horses, chariots and foot SOL
diers. The Chinese played chess 5000
years ago as the "game OF war;"

The Black Hand.

One of those sad experiences
that come into the lives of pa
rents-the kidnapping of a child
has been the misfortune of an
Italian family named Lamana in
New Orleans, and the story of
the taking away Of the little boy
carries with it. all the horrors
and heartaches which similar
have brought to parents
when a child has been taken
away and no trace left of it. Of
all crimes this seems the most
cruel, and the demon who would
steal from the family circle one
of its treasures should receive a
punishment to fit the crime-if
such a punishment can be franz
ed in the human mind and ex-
ecuted with a human hand.
New Orleans has long been the
home of the Italian of the worst
type. For years the city was
the scene ofmany crimes which
were traced to the Italian ele-
ment. Owing to the fear that
their lives would pay the penalty
for telling, those who knew the
guilty would leave for parts UNI
known rather than take the
chances of losing their own
lives. These crimes-murder,
arson, and all the worst crimes
known, were perpetratedthrough
the Malta, a secret Italian order,
which was banded together to
wreak vengeance on any who
should incur the enmity of the
members. The work of the Ma
fla became SO bold that the law
was defed and the chief of po-
lice of the city was murdered.
The citizens were so incensed
that the perpetrators of the das-
tardly deed were mobbed and
the Malta put out of business.
This was sixteen years ago. In
the place of the Malta has grown
up the BLACK Hand" another
secret society Of Italians who are
guilty of the same old crimes.
Members of this society are
charged with having kidnapped
the Lamana child and the Off
GERS of the city feared that eX-
IRENE measures would be used
on those suspected of being in the
diabolical plot. Every means is
being employed by the entire
city to locate and return to his
distressed parents the lost boy.
One suspect is under arrest, but
so far no clue has proven the
right one.

Judgments Affirmed.

judgments AIIlIIIlcu
The last of the cases appealed
from judgments rendered in our
circuit court have been passed
on by the supreme court of the
state and have been affirmed.
The case of the st. Louis & San
Francisco road VS.. Asa w. Allen
was a suit to collect the statua-
tory penalty Of $3.50 for failure
on the part of the road to keep a
good and sufficient crossing be-
tween Mr.. Aliens residence and
his pasture. Judgment was CIV
en- in favor Of Mr. Allen in the
circuit court and the road appeal
ed from judgment, claiming that
the law did not apply in cities and
that the business of the road had
so increased that it was imprac-
tical and impossible for the road
to keep its track open, and that
the road had constructed a SUBJ
way for Mr.. Aliens convenience.
The jury failed to take the view
held by the road and brought in
a Judgment against it, from which
the road appealed. The judg-
ment Of the lower court was af-
frmed. The plaintiff was repre-
sented by Anderson & Long, the
defense by Judge Buchanan and
j. M. Thomas.
The case of the St. Louis and
San Francisco Road VS.. G. P.
Kyle, was a suit brought by Kyle
for having been put off the train
between New Albany and Potts
Camp because he refused to pay
the conductors rate of four cents
per mile from New Albany to
Holly Springs, the next regular
stop Of the train. The jury
brought in a verdict for Kyle in
the sum of 81, 500, but the Judge
thought the judgment too much
and on a motion for new trial he
stated that if the plaintiff would
enter a remitter of $3.50 he would
let the judgment stand; other
Wi sc grant the road a new trial.
The remitter was agreed to and
a Judgment for $3.50 entered and
appealed from by the road. This
was affirmed. The
plaintiff was represented by An
derson and Long, the defendant
by. Judge Buchanan and j. M.
Thomas.
The case Of The st. Louis and
San Francisco R. R. Co. VS. C. R
Freano, was a suit brought in
this court by Freano to recover
damages from the road for the
breaking otshis leg. Freano was
a section hand and worked under
the foreman on the Frisco line
east OF town. When the foreman
could not go Freano was sent out
in charge of the car and hands.
The car was in poor condition and
at several times it had been re-
ported as being in bad shape to
the authority having the matter
under his supervision but he d.
rected the men to take the car
out. While on the long trestle
the car jumped the track and
Freano's leg was broken. The
jury gave him $4,000 damages,
which judgment was appealed
from. The Judgment of this court
was affirmed. The plaintiff was
represented by Boggan & Leake,
the defendant by Judge Buchan-
an and 7 M Thomas

Governor Conner has appointed
Hon. John H. Bankhead senator
to succeed Senator Morgan who
died last week. The appointment
holds good until July 10Th, when
the state legislature assemblies.
Mr.. Bankhead was eighteen years
a member Of the lower house of
congress and rendered conspicu-
GUS service duringthat time. For
years he was a member of the
rivers and harbors committee of
the house. Mr.. Bankhead's APP
pointment comes from the fact
that he was the choice of the peo-
pie as expressed by a popelar pri-
mary vote to fill the first. vacancy
in the senate and it is expected
that the legislature will elect him
to fill out the five and a half
years of the unexpired term Of
Senator Morgan.
1t will be good news to his
friends throughout this county
to know that Hon. Leroy T.Tay-
lor, of Verona, candidate for
trustee of the state penitentiary
from the northern district, is
making friends all along the line,
judging from the newspapers
where he has been. He first
saw light in this county, and it
was from this county that, in
his youthful days, he enlisted in
the cause of the Confederacy.
He is a good. upright veteran
and his friends in Itawamba will
always be glad to learn of his do
ing well.-Itawamba County
News.
