SCENTS DANGER FROM AFFAIR.
Noted Criminal Who Eludes Pursuers
In Mysterious Manner.

| Frankfort QKy,) Dispatch Louisville
Courler-Journal.
The man with the sixth sense, who
knows from intuition that he Is beirg
chased Is to be released from the pent-
tertiary on parole. His name is William
Rousey, and he Is serving sentence OF
q years, having been convicted In Boyle
county of manslaughter for the shooting
of one Mastin. The killing was neigh
borhood feud and both men were using
revolvers when the fatal shot was fired.
After Will Rousey had been convicted
and sentenced to the penitentary he ap-
pealed his case to the court of appeals.
While this appeal was pending he broke
Jail at Danvllle, saving the bars in two
and getting away.
Walter Fitzgerald was jailer of Boyle
county, and he and Tom Helm, then
chief of police, went after Rousey
Months passed and the people had for
gotten that such man as Rousey ex-
listed. More than year after Rousey 3
escape he was arrested in small town
In Southern California. During the year
that passed after his escape, Helm was
on the trail of Rousey and twice was
within two hours of him, reaching town
only that length of time after Rousey
had gone. The chase was from Illinois to
Southern Arkansas and back four times,
and then across Texas and New Mexico
into California.
During this time Rousey never had pos
tive information that anybody was after
him. He received warnings In some mys-
terious way. He says something told MIN
that Tom Helm was after him, and would
come to the town In which he happened
to be at that time. As soon as this feel
Ing came upon him, without questioning
Il Rousey would leave.
On the day before he was arrested,
Rousey said he was sitting by the rail-
road track In the yards wheze he was en-
ployed. He said the old feeling. which
said to him plainly, tom Helm is com
ing here after you," came over him, He
said he went at once to the foreman OF
the yard and asked for his pay and also
for a pass to Canada. This was on Thurs
day. The foreman persuaded Rousey to
wait until Saturday and work the week
out. The failure TO obey the warning
caused Rousey to be caught just at the
edge of what would have been safety and
he went to the penltentary, where he
has made a good record.

Miqht Have Hurt the Railroad

From Success Magazine.
Will Irwin, the writer, tells this one
on himself;
"Riding recently in parlor car, I fell
asleep, and dreamed that I was being at
tackled by band of train robbers. Spring
ing to my feet, leaped upon the nearest
robber, grasped him around the neck and
proceeded to pommel him. Suddenly
awal1ing, I was covered with confusion,
realizing that I was assaulting an in
offensive passenger of Hebrew extraction.
1 was attempting to stammer out my
apologies, when he interrupted me with
a cunning grin.
That's all right he responded, 1T
didn't hurt me. But he added, in a
confidential whisper, If you had hurt me,
do you think 1 could have got damages
from the railroad company? q"

Beavers Reorganize.

Bessemer Dam No. 7, Independent Or

by Supreme Representative j. Messick
Hall of Memphis.
Just a little ginger Is all that is need
ed to make the Bessemer dam banner
one, and Mr.. Messick experienced little
trouble in arousing much interest, and
the old members are giving a hearty re-
Spouse to the call for reorganization. 1t
is believed that by again starting the in
door baseball craze and also organizing
basketball teams that a lively interest
will be manifested.
DR.. J. S. Winters was appointed district

that all the old members will enter into
the reorganization with a determination to
make it a go from the start.

REVIVAL AT JONESBORO
BY J. F. LEE.

Bessemer, September I9.-(Speeial.)-
Monday closes one of the least exciting
campaigns that has ever been waged in
Bessemer. Such at least is the opinion
of some of the Oldest residents of the
town.
There are two candidates in the field
for mayor, and both of them prominent
in politics, but it has been impossibl
to start any public enthusiasm. There
was primary held. in which w. L. Rush
was nominated, following which, ]. d.
O'Gara announced for mayor, claiming
that the procedure of the executive COM
mittee was not legal, In that they failed
to comply with the law governing the
holding of democratic primaries, and in
the first campaign meeting that the
O'Gara faction held, these charges were
made against the executive committee.
but no reply was made.
J. D. oGara was formerly an alder
man, having served during Mayor j. j.
Sulliyans administration, during whose
term most of the sidewalks throughout
the city were put down, and at which
time J. D. O'Gera was on the street and
light committee. He therefore makes
his race on his record as alderman, and
urges the voters TO stand for progress
and prosperity. He is vice president Ct
the Eureka Mining and Development
company. which owns very valuable ore
mines in Russell county.
W. L. Rush, on the other hand, is
making the race on his record while
mayor, and the fact that he is the
nominee of the recent primary, claiming
that as the primary was called by the
democratic executive committee, he is the
nominee of the democratic party. regard
less of the fact that 1t was called as
white mans primary" The cam
paign has been free from mudslinging,
and aside from the fact that some of
the old political campaign tricks have
been resorted to nothing out of the or
binary has been sprung.
AS to who will be the successful can
didate, 1t Is hard to say, as both sides
claim a good majority.

DOG Did Not Have Rabies.

Mrs. Charles Pritchard, who went to
Atlanta with her sister, Mrs. Lucy Ayers,
and Raymond Ayers has returned from
Atlanta and reports that the dog that
bit youngaAver did not have rabies. The
head of the animal had been tahen to the
Pasteur institute for examination. and it
was quite relief to the relatives to learn
that the dog was not mad when he bit
the young man.

BALKAN SITUATION TAKES
ON AN ALARMING ASPECT

LONDON, Nov. 5.-The Balkan situa-
tion has taken on an alarming aspect
in the last day or two, owing to re-
newed rumors that hostilities are inn
minent between Servia and Austria
Hungary.
The Austrian troops are said to have
been intrenching on the Servian from
tier, while Servia has been making
hasty preparations for war and the re-
moval of the seat of government from
Belgrade to a less exposed city.
1t is difficult to ascertain the extent
of the truth of these reports, which are
believed to be greatly exaggerated, al
though doubtless both countries are
preparing for possibilities
At the Servian legation it is asserted
the rumors are unfounded and that
Servia is maintaining a correct atti-
tude pending the international confer
ence.
A dispatch from Belgrade to the
Daily Mail says the heights around the
town are occupied by 10000 troops and
that the bullion in the national bank
will be removed to Kragnyevats, to-
gether with the general staff of the
army.
Despite these military preparations
says the Mails correspondent, all dam
ger of hostititiaa seem past

FAMOUS SAVANT
LEAVES HARVARD
DR.. ELIOT RESIGNS PRESI-
DENCY OF COLLEGE
Has Been Two Score Years at Head of
Noted University, His Alma
Mater-career Distin.
guished

BOSTON, Nov. 4-Charles William
Eliot for forty consecutive years the
president of Harvard university, ten
defed his resignation recently to take
effect May 19, 1909.
The resignation was accepted yester-
day by the board of trustees of the
university.
During the forty years that DR.. Eliot
has been at the head of the big institu-
tion he has taken an active interest in
everything pertaining to the college
affairs, in addition to writing many
books which have found, their place in
the leading libraries of the world.
DIR. Eliot was born in Boston March
20, 1894 and prepared for college, at the
Boston Latin high school. He graduated
from Harvard university during June
of 1853, and took further courses at
Williams and Princeton colleges. The
learned president was married twice,
the first time to Miss Ellen Derby Pea
body, who died in 1869. In October,
1877, he married Miss Grace Mellen
Hopkinson, his present wife.
His First Prominence
DR.. Eliot's first prominent duties as a
professor were in the Massachusetts In
stitute of Technology during the years
1865 and 1869 inclusive.
During the school vacations of these
years DR.. Eliot made two trips to
France and became an honorary mem
ber of several of the highest educa-
tional institutions of Paris.
During his active life as president OF
Harvard university he has delivered
many noteworthy addresses and lee
lures on educational and scientific sub
iects. His residence at II Quincy
street, Boston, Mass, has welcomed
many of the most noted and learned
men of the past quarter century, and
the thousands of members of Harvard S
alma mater will regret the loss to
their university of one of the brightest
intellects that the world has known.
There is much speculation among the
eastern college men as to the cause
of Eliot's resignation. No one has been
named as yet to succeed him.

DENVER, Colo, Nov. 4.-One of the
most sensational features of the state

probably was in the election here of
Judge Ben M. Lindsay of the Denver
juvenile court. His election has
astounded the leaders of both parties
in this city.
Judge Lindsay, who has an inter-
national reputation for his successful
work in the redemption of child crimi-
nails and the moral uplifting of news
boys and street urchins generally, was
sidetracked by his party at the con-
vention' and falling to receive the nomi-
nation was considered permanently
shelved.
At the eleventh hour, however, Judge
Lindsay decided to run Independently.
Returns show he has polled almost a
third more votes than both Of his OPP
ponents together.
