hanged or shot for murder or rob-
berry, accompanied by violence; 62

vicinity that it was their right to ply
their vocation as fishermen in the
water, without molestation, while the
owner of the land upon which it is
situated took an opposite view. In
the courts the latter, the Western
Tennessee Land company, of which
Captain Rankin and Colonel r. q.

and are largely interested, were up

1t tells it's readers every day what
consols are worth in London, what
money and stocks are worth in New
York, what wheat and other grains
are worth in Chicago, Kansas City,
Minneapolis and the other markets
and presents in addition accurate in
formation on the events and condi
lions that determine these values.
The Record1TIerald is the only
morning paper in Chicago having its
own special correspondent to cover
the New York stock market. George
S. Beachels letters report daily the
movement of the new York Stock
and money markets in a way that
shows the writer's close association
with the men who rule in those af-
fairs in Wall street. Equal atten-
ton is devoted to the Chicago stock
and financial markets and to tin
daily movements of prices on the
Board, of Trade. The speculative
gossip and the notes that record

shows a hit of inside history of the
various markets. The Record Herald
makes it point to cover in full the
financial reports of companies and
corporations and devotes particular
attention to banking interests III
