you"
Blevins had no pistol or weapon of
Cny kind.
The greatest excitement ensued.
One woman tainted upon hearing that
man had been shot, and others We're
on the verge of hysieria. The wound
ed man was carried into the baggage
car and placed upon cot and made
as comfortable as possible. Upon the
arrival of the train at Louisa C. 4
o. Surgeon Wroten was hastily sent
for He quickly arrived, but the un-
fortunate young man was dead upon
his arrival.
The bullet entered the chest be-
tween the eighth and ninth ribs, and
two inches to the right of the breast
bone. Ranging downward the ball
passed entirely through the body,
coming out between the tenth and
eleventh ribs, about two inches to
the right of the spinal column.
Whitaker lived probably twenty
five or thirty minutes after he was
shot. The bullet passed through the
stomach and right lobe of the liver
causing death from hemorrhage and
shock. The body was carried into
the ladies Jug room Of the de-
pot and Po..ue Judge o'Brien i'm
paneled a jury and held an inquest
over the remains. After hearing all
the available testimony the jury
rendered a verdict to the effect that
the deceased came to his death from
gunshot wound inflicted by F. D..
Marcum, The body was prepared for
burial and placed in casket and
sent to East Point, Ky, near which
place his parents lived, Two Of
bis brothers were on the train aud
witnessed his tragic and untimely
death. Their grief was pitiful
Whitaker was 26 years old, a son
OF James Whitaker, who has raised
family Of q children. John has
two children. His wife died last
spring.
When the train arrived at Louisa
DR.. Marcum went to the hospital
where the cuts on his head and hands
were dressed, He surrendered him
self to County Judge 7. S. Thomp-
son, and neither side being ready
DR.. Marcum was released on bail of
one thousand dollars, furnished by
L. E. Shannon and R. F. Vinson, TO
answer a charge of manslaughter.
The examining trial is set for Fri
day, October 8.
Conductor Blevins was on the floor
when the shot which killed Whitta-
ker was fired, having fallen or been
knocked down by a blow. Whitta-
ker had struck him once with the
branding iron, and this may have
felled him.
The above are the facts in this ex-
ceedingly unfortunate affair so far
as the News has been able to get
them. Other things may be develop
ed at the examination, but this nc
count will be found to be correct.
Let few short sentences finish
this story:
No beer, no bruises.
No brandy, no blood.

Heat Tests Of Clothing.

An interesting experiment, made in
June by a physician, proved conclu-
sively that for the sake of coo!ness
only white should be worn in hot
weather.
The physician spread out in an in.
tense> sunshine large piece OF white
cloth, another Of dark yellow, another
OF light green, another of dark green.
another of blue and another of black.
Then, with the help Of six thermom
eters, he made the following table of
the various heats which each color re-
ceived from the sunlight: White, 100
degrees; dark yellow, 140 degrees;
light green, 155 degrees; dark green,
1853 degrees; blue, 1913 degrees; black,
208 degrees.
Thus the physician proved that in
July or August the man in white is a
little less than twice as cool as the
imam in blue and little more than
twice as cool as the man in black.

It often takes the mirror of anoth-

tencies Of practice. The idea that
gloom should be associated with death
in the mind lighted by the hopeful
torch of Christianity seemed a strange
thing to the young Indian girl men,
toned in book on "The Indian
Alps"
"Mem-sahib," asked she, why do
you wear those sad colors? don't
like them"
Il am in mourning, Tattoo. 1t is

But black is the color of night,
mem-sahib. and yet you believe that
when you die you go to heaven at
once. Then why not be glad for your
friends who die, and wear colors such
as we see in, birds and flowers, and
falling water when the sun shines
God doesn't make your colors. All.
well, Christians are strange people,
