REV. G. H. STEEN
RESIGNS AS PASTOR
WILL LEAVE FRIERsoN MEMOIR
AL CHURCH TO ACCEPT CALL
IN CALIFORNIA.

Rev. George H. Steen, for the past
year pastor Of Frierson Memorial
Presbyterian church, has rendered his
resignation, which has been accepted
and he will leave within short time
for the West. Mr.. Steen has accepted
a call to- the Presbyterian church at
Arroyo Grande, st. Louis Obispo coun-
ty California. Poor health and the
heller that he could improve in the
dry climate of the far West were the
causes of Mr.. Stems resignation.
During the year that he has been here
he has endeared himself to the mem
bers of his congregation who sincerely
regret that the ties between them are
to be soon dissolved. Before he came
to Columbia Mr.. Steen had been prin-
cipal of the high school at Collierville,
a suburb Of Memphis.

Confessed Night Rider.-Many
Attempts to Kill him.

PADUCAH, KY. Sept. Waiting
for nearly three months in the mail
of Sanford Hall. the confessed night
rider, was an internal machine which
was discovered in the post-ohlce. The
machine was mailed July 8, and as
the clerks had been unable to locate
Hall the package has been pitched
about the boxes. The box was one
and one-half inches square and ten
inches high. The lid was marked
Pull" and mad matches arranged to
strike on a file to ignite three dyna-
mite caps and then explode double
handful of dynamite and blasting
powder The box was wrapped inka
newspaper.
The general delivery clerk pitched
the package out to the chief clerk of
the post-office and it was examined.
The ends of matches were seen, and
fearing it was dangerous the bottom
was removed and the workings re-
vealed. The machine had enough
explosives to wreck the building. The
box has been turned over to secret
service department and suspect is
being watched.

gathering up mail one night remem-
hers. of similar package being
dropped into the basket. The I'M
known, person reached his arm
through the chute and dropped the
package easily into the box. The
clerks were unable to deliver the
package to Hall, who boarded in Pa
ducah several weeks after his confess
sion in the Hollowell trial. Since
then several attempts, 1t is alleged,
have been made to kill Hall, who tes-
tilted at GAINESVILLE, Tenn, last week.
