CASHIER STOLE
$1,000 AT A TIME
Joseph BRANDFoRD ADMITS OF
A SHORTAGE OF
$4,000

OWENSBORO, KY, July 3.-Joseph
Blandford, the defaulting cashier OF
the West Louisville branch bank OF
the greensboro Banking Company
who returned from South Dakota last
night admitted tonight at a meeting
of the directors of the bank his short
age covering a period of five or six
wears. The directors of the bank told
him that it would be necessary Tor
him to be placed in charge of officers.
He was turned over to Sheriff Harl
and was given until Monday to pre-
pare his bond. He will be guarded
until that time.
Blandford was one of the best
known men of Daviess county. He
said that he began to take money from
the bank to help his father. He got
deeper and deeper into debt to the
bank and finally began to drink heavi-
w. hoping to drown his troubles. On
the day he left he took $500. He
bought a ranch in South Dakota with
this money. His method OF obtain
ing money was simple. When time
deposit of $1,000 was made he would
enter up 500 on the books of the
bank and keep the remainder, He, OF
course. also kept a private account.
The shortage amounts to about $1,000.
Blandford says he is ready to turn
over all of his property to the bank.
He is about as years of age, and has
a family.

COL. W. c. TATUM
IS NO MORE
VETERAN EDITOR AND SOLDIER
DIES At HOME IN
NASHVILLE,

NASHVILLE, Tenn, July 5.-Fu'
neral services of Colonel William c.
Tatom, who died at his home, 1921 State
street. shortly before midnight Satur-
day. will be held this morning at $3.50
O'Clock. at the Church of the Advent.
Rev. E. A. Bazett-Jones will pro
nounce the service. Military honors
will be accorded Colonel Tatom, and at
the grave at Mt. Olivet cemetery the
impressive burial service of the B. P.
o. E. will be used.
Death came to Colonel Tatom after
an illness that extended over a year,
the immediate cause being heart trou-
bile. He had been confined to his
home practically ever since returning
to Nashville after the Reelfoot lake
campaign, where he was In charge
under Governor Patterson. His serV-
ices in the tropics during the Spanish
American war probably did much to
weaken his constitution.
Beginning newspaper work early IN
life, Colonel Tatom divided his at
tention and love between journalism
and military affairs. He came To
Nashville in 1901 and began work on
the Nashville American, of which pa
per he was associate editor at the
time of his death. During the Span
Iish-American war he was senior major
of the Fourth Tennessee infantry
commanding the first and second bat
talions in turn. His regiment was
sent to Cuba, and Colonel Tatom was
made post commander and state
guardsman for many years and some
time since resigned his position as
colonel of the First regiment which
place he had held for six years.
Colonel Tatom was native Of
Dickson county, Tennessee, being
born July "a, 1859. His grandfather
had settled there when young man
| and HIS ldluGI was DOIh SASA ~
in life Colonel Tatom decided to en-
ter the fourth estate, and began worE
on the Waverly Journal. He wen
from Waverly to st. Louis, but soor
came back to Tennessee, establishing
the Dresden Era. After a few years
he became editor of the Jackson
Wing, but in 1886, with w. H. Grif
| fifth, he established the Obion Demo
crat.
On January 10, 1891, he was made
editor of the Knoxville Tribune, anc
it was on this paper that Colonel Ia
tom did some of his best work. Com
ing to the Nashville American II
1901 Colonel Tatom won reputa
ton as a clear thoughtful, and force
full writer. Since the early portion o
the past fall he has written compare
lively little, however.

FORE MENTIONED ACT, TO WHICH
EXPLICIT REFERENCE Is HEREBY
MADE, SHALL BE ISSUED BY THE
COUNTY OF MAURY, AS SET OUT
IN SECTION 4 OF SAID HEREIN
BEFORE MENTIONED BILL, PRO-
VIDED THAT SAID BONDS SHALL
NOT BE THUS ISSUED UNTIL THE
MIDDLE TENNESSEE NORMAL
SCHOOL HAS BEEN DEFINITELY
LOCATED IN MAURY COUNTY.
One of the first matters brought up
at the opening of Quarterly Court Mon
day morning was the welfare of four
white children, one a little girl living
on East Side, and three, ten year
old boy and two younger girls, living
on the DAVIS Frierson farm near Mt.
Pleasant. All of these children were
declared to be in improper surround
ings and the matter was presented
to the court that they might be taken
charge of by the county and sent eth
err to the State Industrial School or
to Judge Ferriss. Judge Gordon stat
ed that it was not necessary for the
court to take action in these cases.
That he would send the children eth
er to the State Industrial School or
tn Judge Ferriss if he found them In
improper hands, if they were citi-
zens of Maury county. Judge Gordon
said that he wanted every child
in Maury, who should properly go,
, to be sent to the Industrial
School. That while the county is al
lowed fourteen children free in the
school that it costs 1925 a year for
all over this number, and as the chill
dren have to remain in the school
until they are II years of age and
the cost to the county for each aver
age excess pupil is about $1,000.
MANY of the magistrates spoke on
the subject, and thought that the
county could spend money in no wiser
manner than in caring for its chill
dren.
A communication was read from the
Florence Crittenden Home in Nash
Vile asking that the sum of $50 per
annum be allowed for each resident
of Maury county being cared for at
the hame. The request was granted
accordingly and appropriations were
allowed.
A communication from Gov Patter-
son regarding a Good Roads Conven'
ton to be held in Nashville Septem-
her 81 for three days was received
Messrs. C. j. Akin, j, A. Sanders, and
the three road commissioners of the
county, Messrs. T. J. English and
Hon. w. t. Galloway were appointed
delegates to the convention.
! A communication was read from
The Tennessee State Fair asking that
an exhibit of the agricultural and hor'
ticultural resources of the county be
sent to the fall state fair to partici'
nate in the contest for $4,000 in prizes
offered for county exhibits. The com
/ munication was received and the
chair was instructed to appoint com
mite of five to take the matter up.

CITY FERRY SERVICE TO
BELLE ISLE LONG WAY OFF
Money Couldn't Be Provided for at
Least a Year. Says Corporation
Counsel halIy.

The aldermen are inclined to stand
pat on the Belle Isle ferry proposition
and several OF them declare that un-
less the ferry company will compro-
mise no license will be granted this
year.
81 have talked with several OF my
colleagues" said Aid. Gutman. Friday,
and from the sentiment hear, ma
iority of the council stand against
granting the company permission TO
charge a straight 10-cent fare. Our
proposition requiring the company TO
give a rebate when 1t is demanded we
consider very fair one. Ii looks as
though Mr.. Campbell Is figuring On
the council backing down as 1t did On
the proposition to have the boats run
to the foot OF the Western Grand
boulevard, but there will be no back
down this time"
Aid. Watson has come forward with
a scheme to have the city buy barge
and anchor II off the public lighting
dock in such a manner as"to Interfere
with the Bots Blanc and other pleas
ure excursion service of the ferry
company. but the council Is not likely
to take seriously to the Idea.
CORPORATION Counsel Hally says
there is nothing to prevent the city
from operating its own ferry to Belle
Isle. In which case the landings on
the city side would be made at the
public lighting dock But. he points
out. the money for this purpose would
have to come In the form of an appro-
priation by the board OF estimates and
the common council and raised by gen
eral taxation. and this could not be
done for another year. The city could
also grant a license to some other
company to operate a ferry between
the public lighting dock and Belle
Isle, with the consent OF the public
lighting commission, but no other com.
pany has come forward with any prop
ositlon as yet.

R00SEvELTS GET
TWO BUFFAL0ES
Ex-President Kills One Himself and
Son Helps Him Bring Down
Second Animal.
BY WARRINGTON DAWSON.
(staff Correspondent United Press and
Detroit Tlmes)

NAIROBI. British East Africa. May
21.-Col. Roosevelt's first day OF hunt
Ing on the Heatley ranch at Comiti, to
which his party journeyed yesterday
from McMillan's Ju ia ranch, brought
him lone and half, buffaloes.
He killed one buffalo himself and he
and Kermit together killed a second.
The fact that he did not get two clean
kills t. his credit greatly chagrined
the ex.president, and members OF the
party twitted him good-naturedly.
Roosevelt had splendid shot at the
second buffalo, but though the bullet
reached the big fellow, II failed to
bring him down. The buffalo made
mad break for the underbrush and
would undoubtedly have got away had
not Kermit dropped him with a well
directed shot.
Heatley's ranch, which is on a little
stream called the Nairobi river. is
simply alive with buffalo, and the par.
ty Is hopeful OF adding a number OF
fine specimens to the already bulky
collection.
The two buffalo killed today are
much larger thar those killed on Sir
Alfred Pease's rarch.
The party will remain at the Heat
ley ranch until next Monday. when
Col. Roosevelt, Kermit and Selous Will
return TO Nairobi for a few days. pre-
paratory 10 starting on the "Selous
expedition" after elephants.
