What He Wrote.
Mr.; Rowland, unaffected by Mr.. Ken
heays ree9lhen,1 wrote TINT ne Ike
a i
"At that time | mentioned to Mr..
Evans, the assistant librarian that
wished to purchase Burk's Vir-
ginia. He stated that you had
set which he thought could get
Tor $40, which would be n bargain.
The matter was taken UP by you.
mr. myans t and myself Y r. y ssG agreed

These are nll the facts"
Upon receipt OF that letter, Mr.. K en-
nedy wrote to Mr., Birdsong Of Rat
cigh, N. c., stating. as above set forth,
about his having furnished original
letters, and asking for all further corr
Nj Birdsorg replied TINT he had not
sent any such letters to tho committee
or to any one: that tho correspondence
l,ad been DESTROYED, as was his Gus
or three letters passed between them.
The substance Of Mr.. BirdsonE's let
tors were, that ns far ns he could
recollect he had sold tho work to Mr..
Kennedy personally, upon his personal
telegram of December IL, 1905. and
tho State Library. because he did not
know his house address. Thus the
record shows that there Is corrobora-
tive testimony Of two gentlemen, UNI
known to each other and widely sep
snrated, both showing clearly that the
purchase OF 13urk's History OF vir-
ginia" was a personal purchase by Mr..
Kcnnedy.
The books remained at the State II z
brary about seven days, having been
expressed to Mr.. Rowland on Decem.{

G. Z. Bowen, charged with highway

the fourth time in the Chesterfield Cir
cult Court yesterday, and the jury was
unable to reach n verdict-the third dis

The Bowen case Is rather unusual
one on account of the number OF trials.
The defendant was tried twice and each
time the jury was unable to agree. The
third time he was convicted and sen
fenced to the penitentiary for eight
years. The judge set this verdict aside
on account OF some flaw in the nstruc-

STRANGE SPRING
ON WEST SIDE
CLAIMED TO WELD BOTH FooO
AND DRINK TO PEOPLE OF
NEiGHBoRHoOD- SOURCE
A DEEP MYSTERY.

An interesting story comes from a
citizen in the vicinity Of Iwenty-hrst
street between Holbrook avenue and
the, Big Four tracks. He states that
a very lively spring has been flowing
there for some days past which mas
excited curiosity among the people III
The neighborhood for various reasons.
That a spring should spring up i'll that
locality would be of itself q strange
occurrence. but that it should be such
spring as this is may wei be re-
garded with some wonder. IL is
claimed that this spring furnishes
beth food and drink to the people
who reside in the neighborhood, ana
both of good quality. The water is
as clear as a crystal and free from
any faint OF mineral which is unpleas-
ant TO the taste And then the fish
that's where the strange part of the
story com s in. The fish which the
spring casts up at frequent and fairly
IL aular intervals are great fine Eel
lows of various species measuring
fl ,m rs inches to two feet long and
weighing from three to six pounds
AS vet there have been no cat ish
OF Buffalo among them, only Perch
and Bass and Croppy and few Carp,
which tlop about in the shallow water
ae IT spreads over the ground until
they are picked up and carried off in
baskes. There have been no
Speckled Trout among the output of
the spring, but these are looked for
with confidence by the citizen VINO
gives The Bulletin this information
who. by the way, is man OF good
standing in the community
II was suggested that this spring
might have some connection with the
cairo Dredging eompany's plant but
tnis was dismissed with considerable
spc,y of Indignation and denounced as
nreuosterous, as the spring was

Pesides. the fact that no Cat Fish or
Buffalo have been found among the

tive that there is no connection be-
tween the spring and the two big
rivers that flow past the city
