Lawyer Hummel entertained us

"Hummel had one night in the

WALK 245O MILES
BIGGEST WEST TO EAST WALK
EVER ACCOMPLISHED.
Win Fifteen Hundred Dollars.


Over mountains and through snow,
through wet, slush and mud, freezing
at times, and oppressed by heat at
others, William Jackson and r. 7. Hay,
two sturdy Scotchmen, walked every
mile of the way from Seattle to Chi
cago, just arriving within few hours
of the time limit, thereby winning a
purse of Fifteen Hundred Dollars given
by the Seattle Athletic Club, for ac-
complishing this feat within the pre-.
scrbed time.
Jackson and Hay left Seattle with
but Five Dollars in money, were
obliged to earn their way as they
went and leave no unpaid bills, and
complete the journey in ninety days.
An interesting incident in connec-
ton with the walk, was that each of
the contestants wore a pair of the
well-known Mayer shoes. that neither
ripped nor lost stitch during the en-
tire trip Of 2450 miles-the hardest test
any shoes could be put to-speaking

Death Of Judge Macon.

Denver.-Judge Thomas NJ. Macon,
most powerful jury lawyers who ever
practiced in Colorado and a pioneer
of Civil War days, died Tuesday after
noon at his home in this city from an
attack of apoplexy. Death came very
suddenly after a hemorrhage of the
brain early Monday morning. Judge
Macon had been in rather poor health
during the winter, due to worry over
the illness of his wife, but last Sun
day was in good health and spirits.
Judge Macon came of old and dis
tinguished Southern blood. He vas
related collaterally to Nathaniel Ma
con, member of the Revolutionary
Congress the members of which wore
homespun.
Judge Macon's father was a Nir
ginian of the old school. Following
the custom of the country he signed
SO many notes for friends that he
went bankrupt With his family he
moved to Kentucky.
For more than forty years Judge
Macon had been prominent resident
of Colorado. He read law with Abra-
ham Lincoln for time at Blooming
ton
Fifty years ago last fall he was
married to Miss Mary Virginia Harri-
son at Burlington, Iowa. About 1868
he and Mrs. Macon, together with
some relatives and friends, started
overland for Colorado. They travelled
in an ox-cart across the prairies. and
began their life as pioneers in Canon
City
In 1873 Judge Macon removed to
nd a M ri n q h II
with Judge E. T. Wells and Maj. E. L.
Smith This partnership was contin
ued until 1882. when Major Smith re
tired and his place was taken by Judge
r. T. McNeal. During Governor Adams
first term of office he appointed Ma
con to the Court of Appeals bench, but
this position was not to his taste and
he resigned year later and again took
up his private practice.
About this time he moved back to
Canon City and lived there nearly
four years. Then he returned to Den
yer and moved into the home at 1883
Ogden street, where he lived until his
death. He again entered into part
nership with Judge Wells, the firm be-
ing known rs Wells, Macon & Fur
man. Two years later he formed a
partnership with his son, William,
which continued until the latters
death, twelve years ago.
In his earlier years, Macon was ac
tive in Democratic politics. He was
candidate for Congress at one time,
but made very unwi ling candida e, as
he declared to his friends that if elect
ed he would not serve. He was a
man of very quiet tastes, and disliked
anything in the way Of public display.
On 1867 he was sent to the territorial
Legislature.
Judge Macon's two sons both died
when young men. Besides his widow,
he is survived by two sisters, Miss
Mary Macon of Iowa, and Mrs. M. T.
Miller OF Arkansas.

The Forrest City times., 1908-12-04

Citizens of Forrest City who are de. pendent upon the City Waterworks for their water supply, should be of- fcially notified that they are depend ent upon one single well, and request ed to be as economical with the water as possible For should anything happen to this we'll or it's supply, or to the machieery, we understand the city would be without water, and this is liable to happen at any time. From what we can learn the city finances and it's present future is in a very pre- carious condition, and there seems to be no present remedy, nor likelihood of betterment for some time. The city's indebtedness is in fact but a tTifie, compared to its wealth, but there seems to be no person who is able, or, if able, who is willing to mend matters. It is evident that some thing must he done soon.
