DIABOLICAL MURDER
Negro Living In Montgomery County,
Tennessee Shoots His Wife
Fifteen Times.

One Of the bloodiest murders ever
reported in this section Of country.
occurred Friday afternoon at the
home Of Cap. Darnell, just over the
state line from Edgoten, Ky. \
negro man named Jack Allen went
to Darnell's where his wife was at
work, and called her out to have a
talk They left the house a short
distance and sat down on a stump
talking for some time. They were
seen by another negro man who was
not far away. Suddenly Allen arose,
backed away a little from the woman,
drew a pistol and began firing at
her. At the third shot she fell and
he fired two more shots into her
PROSTATE body. Then rcloading the
pistol he fired FIVE more shots into
the quiyerlng corpse. Not content
with this, he loaded the pistol sec
ond time and once more empticd il
into the body OF the woman After
shooting her IN all fifteen times he
walked away. The only witness was
the negro who Jaw 1t frcm a distance
afraid to try to interfere with the
work of the black demon. Allen il
a young negro, black and heavy set.
What occurred leading up to the
killing, or what it was about, no one
knows but the murderer himself.
Whatever was the motive. he de-
serves to be hung for his diabolical
crime. The woman was unarmed
aud attempted no resistance. Her
murder, for downright brutality,
has never been surpassed IN this
part OF the country.
Allen had not been caught at last
account. Hopkinsyille Kentuckian.

The Tobacco Barnes.

Cadiz, Ky. Oct. ), might Riders"
visited the store Of Mike Delaney, in
Can ton, nine miles west of here, las.
night and broke up every bottle of
"wivo' which he had in stock. Wiyo
is drink put up in bottles like "pop
and is sold extensively throug hout
prohibition territory. 1t is claimed
that last Saturday afternoon several
young men came to Canton from the
surrounding country and got pretty
well "loaded" on something, and it
is the general impression throughout
this section that it was "Wivo.
They then went several miles below
Canton that night, where they pro-
ceeded to raise a disturbance at Blue
Spring church, where there was
preaching, and as this crowd of
might riders" came from the direc-
ton OF Blue Spring church, 1t is sup
posed that the previous occurrence
was largely the cause of the visit to
Mr.. Delaney.
The party arrived in Canton about
eleven o'clock and arousing Mr.. De-
laney made him 60 with them and
unlock his store, after which they
proceeded to break up every bottle of
"Wivo' they could find. After do
ing this they departed quietly with
out doing further harm to anything
or anybody. There is no clue to the
persons who committed the deed.

Editor Charged with Federal Law vio-
 lation Discharged at Tombstone

The case of the United States vs. D w. Semple, charged with sending ob- scene literature through the mails, went to the jury at 5:30 p. m. in the United States district court says dispatch from Tombstone. After being out about an hour a verdict of acquittal was rem dered.
 The case has attracted considerable attention throughout the country, hay ing grown out of case in the justice court of Bisbee in which the Evening Miner, at that time owned or controlled by Semple, printed some evidence which in the judgment of the United States officials was beyond the pale of mailable matter.
 Semple sold out his newspaper later and went to the Nevada goldfelds. At the following term of the United States district court he was indicted, as in- dicated above, arrested at Manhattan, Nev, and brought back to Tombstone, where he remained in jail for some time before giving bond. He was tried at the spring term of court, mistrial resulting.
 Today's proceedings end this case, which has attracted more than passing interest.

EDUCATED INDIAN
 GIRL CREMATED
Following Ancient Custom of Aborig- ines, Girl Who Was Educated in School Is Cremated After Death on the Reservation at Maricopa.

Educated in the Phoenix Indian school, surrounded by all the influences of civilization, and burned on a funeral pyre by her parents on the Marieopa reservation, are the two strange contra dictions in the life of the fourteen year old daughter of Mosoek, one of the tribal water captains on the reservation, says the Democrat.
 J. J. Elwell, one of the farmers near the reservation, who is in Phoenix to- day, states that the young girl was ere mated Tuesday in the early morning in less than two hours after she had died. The funeral, for such it is to the older Indians who hold to the belief of their fathers, was attended by all the mem bers of the tribe.
 Consumption, which followed an at tack of measles, caused the young wo- mans death. She was we'll known among the Indians and well liked by them, members of the tribe, as far as their dispassionate nature will let them, telling Elwell of her good qualities.
 While the body was being burned to ashes that would mingle with those of the mesquite wood on which she was laid, members of the tribe marched first in solemn procession and then with their wild religious ceremony around the burning body.
 Hats, coats, shirt waists and other articles of wearing apparel, both male and female, were thrown into the fire to be destroyed with the body of the girl. Everything that was hers in life was piled on the burning mesquite.
 Elwell states that but few of the older Indians, who still hold to erema- tion as the tribal form of burial, remain. The younger members who have been sent to school or have had a chance to adopt the ways of the whites, do not approve of their fathers customs, and prefer to be buried in coffin.
 Each cremation marks the passing of another Indian who desires that form of burial, except when Some child, the offspring of parents who still believe in the old ways, is burned. In few years none of the Indians who believe in cremation will be left.

Tuck Potter and Jim Kinney Will Race
 at Bisbee for $500 Each

As demonstration of his sincerity and absolute confidence in the brow ess of himself and his ponies, Tuck Potter has put up bet of $500 in the hands of Boston and Brown at Bisbee, which boldly says that Tuck can beat James Kinney in a four-change relay race at Don Luis park near Bisbee about three weeks from date.
 Although Potter is anything but a hard loser, the circumstances which seemingly caused his defeat at the park on the afternoon of the Fourth of July, he believes warrants another trial
 Jim was the victor in this contest and it may have been that he would have won the race under any other cir cumstances but Tuck don t believe that he would have carried off the honors if the latter had not slipped and fell while dismounting after the third lap
 It is true that Jim was running him close second and would probably have made Tuck's last pony "hump" in order to cover the final lap in the lead the accident shattering what was prob ably destined to be neck and neck finish.

The Randolph lines which recently acquired the Phoenix & Eastern road, an event which at the time was hailed with much joy in the territorial press, is reported to have raised freight rates almost twice over what they were. The mining industry, which gives life to this road, is imperiled by such an out rageous move. It looks to us as though there were some short-sighted men con- neeted with the affairs of the Randolph lines who ought to be cutting alfalfa back on the farm instead of trying to run railroads.

RATE |S
 ALMOST THE LIMIT
Saddle Mountain Mining Company Up Against It Because of Raise Made by Phoenix & Eastern Since Randolph Lines Acquired Road.
The following is from the Florence

The following is from the Florence Blade:'
 A raise on freight rates has become serious problem at Christmas. It is said that the freight rates on coal, coke and lumber have been nearly doubled since the change in ownership of the P. & F. railroad. As the Christmas com. pany are large consumers of these three commodities the increased freight rates add very largely to the operating ex- penses of both the mines and smelting plant at Christmas. These large low. grade mines are good profit-yielders un- der favorable freight conditions, but not so under adverse freight conditions. We understand that the rate now in force on the three commodities above named is about the same as was the wagon freight rate prior to the advent of the railroad, and if so, it is praetic- ally prohibitive in a lowgrade camp. While we are not familiar with the ins and outs and why's and wherefores of railroad business, it looks to us as if a prohibitive raise on freight rates is equivalent to "killing the goose that lays the golden egg. At any rate such policy will discourage invest ments in low grade mines here and that is bad for the country and bad for the railroad as well. It is the big low grade mines that make business for both the country and the railroads, and the lat ter can increase their traffic here only by the encouragement and development of such properties.

THE BALDWIN HANGING

The Phoenix Republican, referring ed
 itorially to the recent hanging of Will liam Baldwin at Solomonville, says un. der the caption of "A Creditable Pro. ceeding'':
 The negro Baldwin episode culminat- ing in the hanging of Baldwin may be said to have reflected credit upon the people of Gila and Graham counties if credit can possibly come from such an event. It proved at the same time the respect of the people for law and order in the face of the strongest possible temptation to break it. It proved also the promptness of the courts and their absolute fairness.
 There was every element in the crime of Baldwin to excite the community to a lawless pitch, the color of the mur- derer and the circumstances of the mur- der. In nine exactly similar cases out of ten, anywhere else in the United States, irresistible mobs would have brushed law aside and have added a lasting disgrace to the neighborhood al. ready stained by terrible crime. But at Globe after the intoxieation of hor- TOT had passed away there was an all most unanimous desire that the law should be recognized
 There was, too, the barest possibility that Baldwin was innocent and that he might escape death. Every oppor- tunity that belonged to him was al lowed him. There is no record anywhere of more dispassionate murder trial than that conducted at Solomonville, whither the case was taken on a change of venue. There was not right of which the defendant was deprived. He was afforded able counsel who, while they did not seek to win legal victory by means of technicalities, insisted, and saw to it, that if their client was guilty twelve honest men should be convinced of his guilt.
 The fairness to this friendless negro did not stop there. There was the pos sibility that the supreme court in re- viewing the case might find that the defendant had been denied some right. Though there was no further contest, the higher court of it's own motion continued the case in order that the de. fendant might be given further time to show that he had not been properly tried. It was only when the court be- heved that the matter had been brought to an end that the mandate was set down and further proceeding toward the | execution of Baldwin was ordered. The | last legal doubt of his guilt was re-
