Some character in Taylor county. was
Shot and killed by ]. w. Wise, the
Elisor of Taylor county, last Wednes-
day afternoon He defied the officers
for years. A dispatch from Campbells-
vile to the Louisville Post tells the
story of his passing:
Curt Bell who was wanted on num-
Der of Indictments for selling moon
shine whisky, was instantly killed by
Acting Sheriff j. w. Wise. Wise was
recently appointed by the court as an
officer to succeed one resigning rather
than arrest. Bell. Wise and three
nervy men went to Bells house last
Sunday and searched the house but
Bell was too slick for them A wood
land adjoins his back yard and Bell was
in hiding The officers let it be known
they had given up the search, but went
back into cover and waited for their
man about three days. Wise stationed
his men in the woods near the house
with orders not to shoot except as a
last resort. Going up to the house
himself, Wise found Bell sitting against
the front of the house in the yard with
double arreled shotgun at his side.
Wise held his Winchester rifle on him,
commanding him three times to throw
up his hands but Bell turned and grab
bed his gun. At this instant Wise shot
him dead. At this Mrs. Bell came in
from the 'barnyard swearing that she
would kill Wise, but Wise beat her to
Bells gun.

Teddy Webb, comedian of the

ed one of his practical jokes on
George Kunkel in Salt Lake a few
weeks ago. and now Mr.. Kunkel is
only awaiting his chance to get even.
1t seems that Mr.. Kunkel was quite
a favorite in Salt Lake. which Is also
one of Mr.. Webb's strongholds.
On the opening night of Fan
tana" Mr.. Kunkel had quite a bunch
Of flowers sent to him upon his first
appearance. He handed them to his
dresser and told the boy to put them
in his dressing room, which the boy
did.
Unknown to anyone Mr.. Webb
takes the flowers and goes to door
leading out into the auditorium OF
the theater, calls an usher and asks
him to kindly hand them to Mr..
Kunkel upon his entrance. The
usher did as he was asked, and Mr.
Kunkel again handed them to his
dresser to put in his dressing room.
This was repeated twice more.
When the curtain fell on the act Mr..
Kunkel went to his room and. 10 and
behold, there was only one lonely
bunch OF flowers, aud that made him
quite angry, he claiming that some
one had been taking his beautiful
flowers.
It was not until the next day that
Miss Addie Sharp. soubrette OF the
company, whispered to Mr.. Kunkel
that something was wrong and then
the horrible truth dawned upon
him. Now Mr.. Kunkel Is thinking
up some practical joke to get even
with Mr.. Webb. who says that he
has to sleep with one eye open.

the part Of the public is justified or
not need not be discussed. 1 never
had occasion to appeal to the press
for assistance and cooperation in
any public measure without receiv-
ing hearty but at all times, to my
mind, indiscreet assistance. News
papers will publish what they think
the public wants to know, but not
what we think the public ought tc
know. They assume, quite prop
erly, the right of decision. The
greatest power that we can have to
diffuse information is the public
press. Let us be frank with it and
believe that it will almost invari
ably be honest with us"
