Justice to Billy Lush.

From the New Haven Register
The placing of the blame for the Yale
basketball teams error in playing against
professionals on the shoulders of Billy
Lush is & decided injustice, inasmuch as
1t has been found that he strongly pro-
tested against the team taking the floor
at Washington. A mistake was unques-
tionably made, which was, tc an extent,
eXcusable under conditions. but there does
not appear to be any reason for shifting
the responsibility onto the professional
coach.

Death Of a WeII.knOWn Citizen.

Last Thursday afternoon after an i'll
ness of several weeks, Mr.. Sid Cald-
well, well-known citizen of this coun-
ty, died at his late home, near Portland.
He was between sixty-eight and sew
enty years old, and had been an active
farmer and trader all his life. He was
man who will be greatly missed in
the neighborhood where he so long re-
sided. He had been prosperous from
early manhood, and leaves a very good
estate. He was twice married. He is
survived by his wife, and four daught-
ers by his first wife, Mrs. Tom Way
gener, of this place. being one of the
number. The funeral services were at
the home and the interment was in the
family burying ground, a large number
of relatives and friends being present.

Willing to. Call a Speaial Term.

Judge Baker is at home this week,
being kept from the Monroe court by
the sickness of his son, H. T. Baker.
We understand he has under consider
alton the calling of special team of
the Russell Court as soon as practica-
BILE, that grand jury may investigate
the killing of Mamie Wormack, and if
an Indictment is found, that speedy
trial may be had. and he will at once
communicate with the authorities in
Russell in reference to the matter, and
cooperate with them in legal steps to
this end.
In the meantime the people should be
patient, and give the law an opportun-
ity to vindicate itself. When it does
so by the conviction and punishment of
the criminal the effect will be worth
more by thousand time than any
mob action which may be taken in vio-
lation of law.

arrangements had been made to burn
him alive. He< would have been car
ried to the place where the horrible
crime was committed. and there Gre
mated, Mrs. Wormack, the mother of
the dead girl, having agreed to start
the fire.
A reward of $3.50 will be paid if Hill
is convicted, $3.50 by the State and $10O
by Russell county. The States reward
was offered on the 18th and the arrest
was make on the 18th.
The News called Jamestown Monday
morning and talked to prominent
citizen. He said that he did not think
himself that a mob would visit the
Wayne county Jail, but that there were
many who did not agree with him.
The excitement in Russell county is
still very high.

L. Hamilton, had been awarded a judg-
ment for six thousand and and five
hundred dollars, against the Louisville
and Nashville Railroad Company, by a
jury in Memphis, Tenn for injuries
suffered in wreck on the railroad, near
Horse Cave, KY, several years ago,
while returning to her home at Nc
Crory Ark. after visit to relatives in
this city. 1t was the second trial of
the case, the first judgment being for
four thousand dollars in favor of Mrs.

Sixteen Days in a Cave.

Niger, the black dog belonging to
Mr.. Butcher Bohanan, who lives on Mr..
R K. Young's farm, near Columbia,
caught a crow one night in November
and in the tussle it got away and en-
tered cave with Niger in hot pur-
suit. For two or three days no special
alarm was felt for Nigger's salty as he
was known to be very determined, but
as he did not come out in that time his
owner became uneasy and began work
in earnest to secure his freedom.
The bark of the dog could be plainly
heard but the opening being between
two heavy layers of stone and too
small for person to enter, it was near
ly impossible to locate him or to deter
mine the real trouble. At any rate Mr..
Bohanan used dynamite and powder for
several days and nights in trying to
reach him, but made but little head
way. The rescue was abandoned and
Niger was left to his fate about 10 or
IL days. On the 18th day Mr.. Bohan-
ans little girl 10 or IL years old went
to the cave and called the dog and he
could be plainly heard begging for help.
This affected the little girl, arousing
her SYMPATHY to the highest point.
She went to the house and begged to
be allowed to crawl into the cave, but
just at that moment Niger came walk
ing up. He had gained his freedom
after sixteen days and nights under the
earth, and while weak and thin he was
all right and ready for hunt the next
day.

Badly Burned.

Mr.. Clarence Page, the conductor of
one of the automobile carriages be-
tween Columbia and Campbellsville, got
badly burned about the hands and on
his arms at the latter place last Friday.
He was washing his hands with gaso-
line, lantern sitting close by. A boy
came up, as we understand, struck a
match, the head flying off igniting the
gasoline. Mr. Pages hands and arms
were badly burned, and it will probably
be several days before he will be able
for duty.

Death Of a Green County Citizen.

Mr.. ]. T. Dowdy, a well-known citi-
zen of Green county, and who had
passing acquaintance with number of
Columbians, died at his late home, near
Gresham, last Thursday, a victim of
stomach trouble. If our information is
correct he was native of Spencer
county and became citizen of Green's
burg soon after the railroad reached
that place. He was about sixty years
of age, a. good neighbor and a kind
father. His first wife died many years
ago, and he is survived by his second
wife and number of children. One of
his daughters is the wife of Mr.. Char
ley Cabell, Miami. Peace to his men,
Dry.

A Runaway.

Last Thursday night about 7 o'clock,
as Tom Ed Jeffries and Ewing Suits
were returning home, having been out
hunting, they met with an accident
near the bridge which crosses Russell's
Creek at Wilson's old mill. They were
in buggy and just before they got to
the bridge, the horse made a quick
turn, evidently to take the old road and
cross Sulphur. The buggy was upset,
the horse starting at rapid gait. He
was finally stopped at Parsons black
smith shop by Mr.. E. L. Feese. The
buggy was considerably damaged, but
neither Mr.. Jeffries nor Mr.. Suits
were hurt.

LITTLE VICTIM LIVED A FEW HOURS.

Last Monday ROLLS, little five year

water in large Kettle was being heat
ed. The little boy got too close to the
flames and his clothing caught, burning
him into crisp. His sister who at
tempted to extinguish the flames, was
also badly burned about the hands and
arms.
This is distressing blow to the much
grieved parents, who have the SYM

Died in EIida, New Mexico.

Judge T. A. Murrell received a mes
sage last Thursday morning from his
brother, DR.. G. M. Murrell, Elida, New
Mexico, stating that the latter's wife
had died the afternoon before.
This announcement brought sorrow
to many relatives and friends in Adair
county where the deceased was born
and reared, and where she was married
to her husband about four years ago
She was daughter of Mr.. ]. P. Do
honey, ST., who lives on the Burkes-
vile pike, two and one-half miles from
Columbia and was educated in this
place.
Irene, as she was familiarly called,
possessed lovable Christian character
and was a special favorite in her old
home neighborhood, hence the intelli-
gence of her death was serious blow
to her father, brothers and sisters and
her former associates. -
She was victim of pulmonary trou-
BILE and was a sufferer for several
years, during which time every thing
earthly that could be done by loving
and faithful husband was done.
When quite girl the deceased made
a profession of her faith in Christ,
united with the Presbyterian Church,
and was devout member until the end
came. The interment was at Elida.
The husband, who is left childless,
has the sincere sympathy of the people
of Adair county.
The News admonition to all sorrow
ing relatives is, continue to walk in the
straight and narrow path and you will
again see Irene.

The farmer who is not up with his
work in this part of the country is to
be pitied for he is man who has more
than is possible to accomplish or has
whiled away his time while the beauti-
full autumn weather passed. The truth
is that last fall was the most pleasant
and most inviting for outdoor employ
ment than was ever known in this sec
ton of country before. So anyone who
failed to make use of the warm, dry
weather made huge mistake.
