MAINE HUNTING STORY.

Dan Chaplin of Cornish went fox
hunting one day recently in the vi
entity of Trafton mountain. His
hound got on a trail and chased q
red fox for some time, and when
within range Dan saw the fox had a
gray squirrel in his mouth.
He shot the fox, which released
the squirrel. 1t then ran up a small
bush. The hound after making sure
that the fox was dead made a leap
for the squirrel, which was probably
stunned, and captured it. The case
is unparalleled in these parts

preparation Made.

Little Rock, April Especial.
Both branches of the legislature
yesterday afternoon had busy ses-
sions. The house started off with
a continuation of the debate on the
Rowland bill for sthe appropriation
of $50 900 for the eradication of
the cattle tick. Representatives of
other sections opposed the bill as
it applied only to the northern
counties. They stated similar
appropriation might be given them
to fight the boil weevil. When
voted upon the bill received more
votes than those opposing it could
muster, 81 to IS, but as it takes a
two thirds vote to pass an appropli-
alton bill, it was declared lost.
The house passed the Sc tate
bill permitting cities to buy and
sell electricity, IS to 2. The bill
to raise the salary of the assistant
attorney general from S. 500 to
81 800 per annum was read again
and ordered engrossed. The bill
originally provided for a salary of
s., $50, but the house defeated and
reconsidered it, and now favors the
compromise increase.
The most important part of the
afternoon session was the passage
of the Turner bill which provides
for semi annual examinations for
those desiring to practice medicine
in Arkansas, and provides for the

ROME, Sept 1.-The earthquake

The shock occurred during the

vas fast asleep at the time, but was
awakened as a matter of precaution
by his attendants, who feared repeti-
ton of the shock.
The church of Santa CATERING, which

collapse, but the firemen quickly
shored up the walls. A ward in the
santo Spirito hospital was also slight
u damaged.
A slighter shock was registered at

ular almanac called the Barbanera
happened to predict that a slight
earthquake would occur in Rome and

LUCAS RETURNS
DESPITE THREATS
KENTUCKY FEUDIsT GOES BACK
TO SCENE or POSSIBILITIES.
TELLS THE STORY.

LEXINGTON. KY, Aug. s1.-Not-
withstanding Joel Stamper. his bro
ther-in-law and arch enemy, threatens
to kill him on sight, and has sent him
word that he has a supply of dynamite
With which to blow him up, ]. d. Luz
cas- Monday took his wife, whom
Stamper wounded a week ago, back
TO their home in Wolfe county, and
says he will trust luck to save his and
his wife's life. Lucas made requests
of Gov. Wilson that he increase the
reward for Stamper's arrest, so good
citizens would not be afraid to try to
capture him. Lucas said feudal en-
nifty between his family and Stamp
er's began in the civil war, when his
family fought on the Confederate side
and Stamper's ancestors on the union
side. He tells how his grandfather
was murdered by Stamper's relatives,
which caused the feud, as follows:
Jerry Little and Jerry South were
in command of the home guards and
caught my grandfather while at
breakfast along with Dump" Allen
and Bob OVERRIDE. My grandfather
begged for his life and offered all the
nancy that he had to be let off, but
Jerry Little exclaimed, Wen have
your money and your life too With
that they started my grandfather off
in a run, with Bob Allen and Dump
Overbee, down Wild Dog Dreen, CIV
ing them this chance for their lives.
There were over a hundred men with
Little and South, and they opened fire
when the men were a few yards off.
All three were killed, my uncle being
pierced by twenty-four bullets, one OF
them striking him just at the place
where his suspenders crossed.
"While sitting on my mothers lap
she has often told me the story, as
have the descendants of Jerry Little
had the story from their ancestors.
This is the original cause of the SIAM
rer-Lucas feud."

ENDED LIFE IN

GUILTY oNSclENcE CAUSED
MURDERER TO TRY THE
SUICIDE ROUTE.

BRISTOL, Tenn, Aug. 31.-As a
SEQUEL to the murder of A. j. Slagle,
the wealthy Jonesboro lumberman,
whose body was found in the river
at Newport, Tenn, on Saturday, John
Spencer, 80 years old, a former neigh
Dor and relative of Slagle, committed
suicide Monday by jumping headfore-
most into a rain barrel. Spencer,
who came from Newport to attend the
funeral of Slagle, learned on arrival
there that he was suspected of having
murdered Slagle. He denied that he
was guilty, and Sunday night went to
bed in the Slagle home with a little
bow of the dead man. He left the bed
and at daybreak his body was found
in the rain barrel. On his person was
found $50.
The neighbors accept the suicide
as indicating that Spencer murdered
Slagle. 1t is believed at least one
other man was implicated, and the
matter will be investigated.

DIDN'T CALL HER
DEVIL INCARNATE
PREACHER HAD NO SPECIAL REF
ERENCE TO MRS. SADIE
A BEAN.

ATLANTA, Ca, Aug. PA jury
in the Superior Court here decided
that the Rev. j. G. Atkinson, of Jones
boro, did not call Mrs. Sadie A. Bean
a devil incarnate; If he did, it's all
right. Neither side knows what the
jury means by it's verdict in favor of
the pastor of the Jonesboro Methodist
Church in the suit for 100000 libel
brought by Mrs. Bean.
1t was last September that Rev.
Atkinson preached sermon on those
who sowed discussions in the church
and termed them devils incarnate. "
Mrs. Bean, a member of the flock,
thought the pastor referred to her
and filed the suit. The pastor denied
that he meant her particularly, but he
frankly averred that he considered
her a very disturbing element. Ac-
cording to him, she had found fault
with everything. She found the SUI
perintendent of the Sunday-school too
slow; the teachers too ignorant; the
voices of the choir gave her nervous
prostration and the ladies of the Aid
Society did not know the A B C's of
giving ice cream festivals.

The ATTITUDE
OF JOHN |. cox
IS CAUSING SOME SPECULATION
IN EAST TENNEssEE-MovE-
MENT ALLEGED.

BRISTOL, Tenn. Aug. S1.-There
is a movement in East Tennessee TO
attend the county conventions next
Monday and try to prevent the selec-
ton of delegates to the general con-
vention to be held at Nashville on
September 21.
A member of the Sullivan county
committee. calling the mass meeting,
stated that he understood that the
Patterson cohorts were very busy, and
evidently acting under instructions
from high up, to this end.
However, such a movement would
amount to nothing in this county,
where three-fourths of the democrats
favor the upholding and enforcing OF
the present temperance and election
laws. Here the movement to obstruct
the meeting is taken as an indication
that the liquor people are going to
make another struggle to regain what
they have lost in Tennessee.
The Sullivan county committee con-
sists of such lifelong and Simon pure
democrats as John H. Caldwell, a
prominent banker and capitalist, and
one of the wealthiest men in Sullivan
county; Col. Sam l.. King, another
wealthy capitalist; James ]. White, a
prominent banker and real estate ow-
ner of the county; H. A. Mark, former
registrar of Sullivan county; and Fred
Thomas, one of the leading farmers
and business men.
Just what attitude Senator John I.
Cox will take in the matter is sub
ject of speculation. Messrs. King and
Caldwell we're formerly two of his
staunchest supporters, but they are
not with him by any means on the
question of enforcing the election and
temperance laws.
