Sequachee Valley news. (Sequachee [Sequatchie], Tenn.) 1896-1952, 1908-06-11

The concensus of opinion is that the
News has taken the right stand in
abbreviating the religious discussion
which has been raging in its columns.
We were trying to give the parties a
fair showing, and the discussion in
consequence was reaching tremendous
proportions Too much SO for an or
binary country paper to handle. We
hope the parties will consider the JUS
tice of our position, and not make an
issue on which to commence fighting
us

A.. NJ. Shook, writing a lengthy ar
ticle to the Nashville Tennesseean
about the Herbert Domain, purchased
Jan. 10Th of this year from Mrs. Kit
tel. says:
If the present administration does
not develop this property, the contract
with the N. G. & st. L. Ry., will be
forfeited by the negligence of the
State, with the consequent loss to the
State of from ten to fifteen million dol
lars, and the railroad company will be
relieved from carrying out the con-
tract, which gave the state one million
dollars of additional property, and a
saving in freight alone of 1915 per day
ON the small output of fifteen hundred
tons -
This is putting things in nutshell.
Col. Shook is a man, whom we firmly
believe knows what he is talking about
and the negligence of Gov. Patterson
in this matter should cost him the gov,
ernorship Even while he was con-
gresham, Patterson failed to carry
out his duties, and official notice
was sent to him from Washington tx
make appearance on account of hi
continued absence. In other words
they sent for him to see what he look
ed like, and now as governor of Ten
nessee, he does absolutely nothing t.
carry out an enterprise authorized b.
the people of the state We have NJ
particular assurance, however, tba
Carmack will do any better, as polite
is the great game our statesmen play
while the people wait, wait, wait

The rum feature of Tennessee poll
tics still has the boards and, no doubt,
one of our democratic candidates is
getting intensely tired of the issue. 1t
was Rum, Romanism and Rebellion"
that downed JAS G. Blaine for Presi-
dent of this great republic, and it will
be Rum Rule and Rummies' that
will bring a Waterloo to certain can
didate. When you place the home
against the politician with rum as the
issue the home should win and we'll.

Human Animal
Commits f1ienous Crime

Peel Burgess, who served a five
year sentence in states prison for the
lucky for this human animal, and
lucky for the community that he was
safely tucked away in jail before the
tbs public. There might have been
a mob. a corpse and funeral, but
now the law will most probably be
allowed to take its course.
His victim is Katherine McCinnon,
= girl 10 years old, who recently
came here with her mother from Be-
midi, MINI. They have been stay
ing at the Leland hotel.
Little Katherine and her younger
sister are noisy, sophisticated little
.oLks who have evidently been al
lowed TO grow up like weeds. Bur-
CESS sought their acquaintance and
lost no opportunity to take them rid
ing in his wagon or buggy.
Monday evening, about dusk, Bur
CESS got the Oldest girl into the bug
sy and went out driving. Shortly be-
Gore nine o'clock, as they passed the
hotel, Mrs. McCinnon called to her
girl and told her that she had bet
ter come in as it was getting late.
TO this Peel answered that he just
wanted to drive down to the next
street, and would then biting the
girl back.
Some time later Mrs. McCinnon,, o.
Mrs Hawkes., as she calls herself,
Decame alarmed over the absence of
sne girl and went out on the street
70 look for her but did not find her.
Then she went to her room and
fonnd the child standing in front of
fhe looking glass with her hair dis
aeTelled and frightened look on
Ger face.
What is the matter with you"
asked the mother. Nothing" said

something unusual had happened

girl then ran down to the lavoratory
but soon returned and approached
Ter mother in a peculiar manner.

why no, what for''and gradu-

Il "a laboring man by the name of
John O'Brien, met with an awful ac-
cident at the VIM. King farm last
Thursday afternoon about 6 o'clock.
He had thrown a pitch fork from a
load of bundles of grain and imme-
diately slid off the load not paying
any attention to the fork. The fork
had struck in the ground, leaning
slightly toward the load and Mr.
O'Brien struck the top Of the handle
in such a way as to run itinto him
a distance of about inches. He
was very badly torn and was brought
to town where he has since been re-
ceiving medical attention and is re-
ported as getting along very salts
factorily considering the nature of
the wound.-Cando Herald

Three Jolly
Old Sports

VIM. Schneider, John Couse and
George Popping, the three jolly old
sports from Burlington, have re-
turned from a trip to the Canadian
Northwest. "We had a great time.
Schneider said, "and like the North
west all right. ! saw some of the
greatest wheat of any in my life
in the irrigated district west of Cal
gary. Irrigated winter wheat aver
aged So bushels to the acre, and the
wheat, on the land that is not ir-
rigated is almost as good. And say,
talk about your Canadian whiskey.
It's the finest l ever tasted. Took
just one nip for a sample (?)" and
at that the big fellow masked his
lips. "But we've got them beaten on
beer. Why, that Calgary beer is
rank. Talk about schooners of beer.
Why Geo. Popping measured one OF
them and it was nearly eleven inches
around and nearly six inches tall.
George couldn't lift the schooner
with one hand, so used both Of
them, and came near needing assis-
tance. Beer is pretty high in Can
ada too,, fiften cents a glass, two for
quarter, three for forty cents and
four For a ha1f1
Mr.. Schneider expects to go west
on another trip soon. He was as
far west as Battleford and says that
that is great country for mixed
farming.

Mike, The Greek
Goes Cunning

Mike the Greek, who runs fruit
store down near the 500 tracks, Is
quite a hunter. That is, he dearly
loves to hunt, altho he seldom hits
anything. The boys put. up job on
Mike that has made him real cranky
A farmer near Minot caught jack
rabbit and tied it to stake with
a long chain. Mike was taken out
to the farm in Welch's auto, and
when the rabbit was spied across the
prairie, Mike slips up near it and
fires. Mikes craftsmanship wasn't
good and the rabbit simply jumped
about the stake. Mike fired again,
but the rabbit stood up on its hind
legs and took good look at the
gentleman from Greece. Mike was
out of shells. "I'll catch you il l
get a good start, he thought to him
self, and took after the rabbit He
soon caught it, and putting it under.
his coat started for the auto with 1t
on the run, but soon came to the end
of the chain and was jerked back
wards, when he learned that he was
being guyed. Mike doesn't like to
talk about his experience, and says
that he even won't go out after
chickens.

had driven to pasture about a
mile north of town and there ac-
complished his purpose. On the way
back he told the girl that if she said
anything about what had happened
he would shoot her and kill her. 81
have notion to kill you anyway,
but if you will say nothing about it,
I wont hurt you," he said. 1t re-
quires no imagination to see that the
child must have been terribly
frightened.
On leaving the pastrue Burgess got
out of the buggy to close the gate,
and here the terror stricken child
took the opportunity to whip up the
horse and leave the murderous brute
behind. She left the rig on the
street opposite the Leland hotel-and
soon afterwards the crime was un-
yelled.
1t was about $50 o'clock when
John McGse, the night policeman,
was approached by Mrs. McCinnon,
who told him the story, and he soon
had posse of citizens hunting for
the criminal. About II o'clock Bur
CESS was found in the hayloft OF his
fathek's barn and was quietly re
moved to the county Jail. He walv'
ed examination and will get his dose
at the next term OF the district
court. The penalty for a second
offense is from 10 years to life. It
is quite probable that he will get
a life sentence.
Mrs. McCinnon and two little girls
came from Bemidji Mimi, some
time ago. McCinnon is a Bemidji
saloon keeper and the woman claims
to have been divorced from him and
married Hawks, who is employed as
