FACTS ABOUT THE
Great Majestic Range.

1t is the only range in the world made of
Maleable and Charcoal Iron.
1t has, beyond any question of doubt. the
largest and best reservoir.
1t uses about half the fuel used on other
ranges, and does better work by far.
The Majestic All Copper Nckeled Reservoir
heats the water quicker and hotter than any other
1t is the only reservoir with removable frame.
The Charcoal Iron Body of the Great Males.
tic Range lasts three times long as a steel body
Being made of non-breakable material. there
is practically expense for repairing the Majestic
AS for baking. it is perfection; not only for
few months, but for all time to come.
A Great Majestic Range lasts three
times as long as a cheap range, but it doesn't
cost three times as much.

PROOF-We don't ask you to take our word for
any of the above statements but if you will call at
store, man from the factory, where Majestic
Ranges made will prove to your satisfaction that
these absolute facts and will show you many
reasons why the Great Majestic Range is absolutely
the best that money can buy.

 MORAN-ATTELL FIGHT A DRAW Feather weights Go>For
 25 Rounds. ENGLISH LAD IS PLucKY Final Round of Fight Was Most
 Exciting.
American Boy Claims Money For weight Before Game Besins-Jim Jeffries Acts
 as The Arbiter.

Colma Arena. San Francisco. Jan. 1-- owen Moran. champion featherwefght of England today made draw fight of twenty-five rounds with Abe Attell, champion of America, who was thought to be invincible at his weight. Moran was strong and aggressive, quick as flash and kept on top of Attell all the time. Attell had plenty of op- portunity to show his boasted clever ness in keeping himself away from tho rush of the little English boy. Att tell seemed to lack force in his pun ches and found 1t difficult to land a blow on a vital spot.
 Moran's eye was blackened and his nose bled but the punishing rips to the stomach and the swings to the jaw were missing Moran's game was to lead with either right or left and then close in. In the clinches he fought viciously but did not do Atteil much harm.
 The final round was most exciting. Moran seemed to take on new vigor and with head down, waded into Att tell swinging right and lefts. When the gong rang for the close. both men kept on fighting fiercely and big Jim Jeffrles had to separate them.
 Jeffries.' decision of a draw was re- ceived with approval except by violent partisans.
 There came near being no fight owing to the fact that Moran was two ounces overweight. Attell did the Shylock act and Lad to be paid s250 for the surplus two ounces before he would consent to go on.
 Moran's manager stated after the fight that the boy had found 1t ex- tremely difficult to get down to weight and at II o'clock today was compelled to go two miles of vigorous road work.
 While interesting. the contest did not come up to the standard of a cham pionship battle. Between 1000 and s. 900 persons witnessed the contest.
 Referee Jeffries said after the fight that the contest was so close that he found 1t difficult to give a decision. He thought Atteli had slightly the better of 1t on points. but not suf- ficient to- justify a.adecisioa In his favor.

 MITs SUICIDE.

SLAYER OF BURGESS
JIM KNIGHT ACCUSED OF rERns-
 BILE CRIME.
Young Man Just Married, Arrested for the Murder of a Conecuh County Farmer. Near Evergreen,
 In October.

Evergreen. Jan. 1--(SpeciaI, 1---yfua Knight. white man about IS years of age. was today arrested by Sheriff H. F. Irwin and placed in jail charged with the murder of Henry Burgess. also white. which occurred on October 10. last about two miles east of Ever green
 It will be remembered that Mir. Bur asss left his home Saturday afternoon to go hunting. Failing to return home at the accustomed hour. his wifa he- came alarmed and notified near-bv neighbors. About midnight search- ing party was organized and the woods and swamps were secured. The search was continued until about II o'clock Sunday morning when the vigilance of the searchers was rewarded by the ghastly find of the dead body in a swamp about two miles from his home. and upon examination it was found that two charges from a shot gun had penetrated his body. one in the back of the head and the other near the left shoulder blade. Both charmea were fired from shot gun at close range, either one of which would have produced instant death.
 A portion of the gun stock was torn off by one of the charges, showing that he was carrying his gun either under his left arm or on his left shoulder. with the trigger guard well over the shoulder. Examination disclosed the fact that his gun had not been dfs- charged and both chambers were load cd.
 A reward agsregating several hun- dred dollars was offered for the arrest. with evidence to convict. the murderer of Mir. Burgess.
 A detective from Nashville, Tenn. arrived here shortly after the murder was committed and went to work to solve this mysterious murder. The re- suit is the arrest of Knight.
 The detective says he has sufficieuk evidence to convict Knight. The de- tective Is also lawyer of ability and will assist in the prosecution of the man accused of the crime.
 Knight was married last week to Miss Mary Brown, who Is only 14 years of age. She resides near Gravella, this county
