.P|T|FUL CASE Of
A LONE WOMAN
She Had No Doctor When
Baby Was Born.
ALONE, SHE SUFFERED MUCH
Gave Negro Her Last Dime
For Food and He Never
Came Back.
The Evansville Courier says:

The Evansville Courier says:
Too sick to leave her home to APP
peal for aid and too proud to ask her
neighbors for help after they had
snubbed her, according to her story,
Mrs. Sally Graper, 40 years old, 1929
West Alabama street, laid i'll in bed
for a week, taking care of herself and
cooking what little food remained in
the house as best she could. Her
husband died four months ago, after a
lingering Illness. Without a doctor,
friend or nurse to take care of her
she remained in the house by herself
until found yesterday morning by HUI
name Officer Springer.
Tuesday Mrs. Graper called to a
passing negro and giving him a dime,
the last cent she had, asked him to
buy her some tea and crackers. The
negro never returned.
The pitiful condition of the woman
was discovered by a neighbor yester-
day morning and a call was sent to
Officer Springer.
Going to the home, Springer found
it in the most dilapidated condition.
What little furniture the woman had
owned she had been forced to sell to
buy food and to pay for her rent. In
no condition to work, she was forced
to live as cheaply as possible. No
coal, food or proper bed clothing was
found in the house by Springer.
The cold, bare room in which the
woman had been confined for more
than a week, was furnished with a
cot, broken chair and a small wood
stove. The floor was uncarpeted.
Springer at once notified the Asso-
ciated Charities and a nurse was sent
to the house. Proper food, clothing
and coal followed the nurse. Mrs.
draper, while seriously i'll, will re-
cover and the baby will live.

he moved to Henderson. He was
succeeded by w. o. Bradley, a Re-
publican Governor, probably because
the Democrats did not keep up the
rule and nominate their candidate
from the Fourth district. In 1900
Beckham, of Nelson, became the
next Democratic Governor on account
of the assassination of Goebel. He was
elected twice, serving nearly eight
years, when he was succeeded by A.E.
Wilson, another Republican Governor
So a Fourth Congressional man has
sat in the Executive chair at Frank

THE LAST LAUGH
SURELY THE BEST
In the Case of Official and
Accused.
he HAD DEFIEO THE OFFICERS
To Come and Get Him-Now
In County Jail Under
Serious Charge.

Constable Newt. R. Baize, OF Fords-
Vile. arrived in Hartford Sunday
night having in charge Forrest Ma
lone also of Fordsville, whom ne
had arrested at Pekin, Ill. Malone was
arrested on a warrant issued by Judge
TAYLOR. of the Ohio County Court,
charging seduction. A Tequisitlon
upon the Governor of Illinois had TO
he procured in order to get Malone
He skipped out about two months ago
since which time officers have been
ON his trail. He sent back several
sassy" postcards from points where
he stopped to Constable Baize' APP
parenlty defying the officer to come
and get him. Mr.. Baize simply kept
his own counsel and got busy.
Malone finally drifted into Pekln'
Ill, and obtained employment at the
Smith Wagon Works 1t is SAID
that while there, he Dragged OF his
proves as a dangerous character, say
ing that he had gotten away with a
man in Kentucky He was foolish
enough to mention his former loca-
ton (Fordsville) and the workman
in whom he confided wrote the Off
GERS at Fordsville Constable Baize
enclosed this note with one of his
own and addressed the letter to the
chief of police at Pekin. Malone was
put under arrest a short time after
the reception of the letter II he had
kent quite all the tfme,s his -where-
abouts would have perhaps never been
discovered.
The young lady in the case Is not
vet 16 years old, and 1t is said that
proof OF Malone's guilt is positive.
The parents of the girl had objected
to his company, but she seemed TO
be infatuated with him. About
year ago Malone was fined 20 ana
costs in a magistrates court for fight
ing with the father of the young
lady. In the present case Malone de-
mics the charge, but 1t is said his
words are rather rambling. Com
ing through greensboro Saturday, Con
stable Baize lodged his prisoner in
the city Jail for safe keeping.
Officer Baize says he was treated
very courteously by the chief of po-
lice. Robt. Clay, of Pekin, Gov. De-
neen and the other State officials OF
Illinois.
The girl, who is little more than
a child, is of most respectable parent
age and is said to be a very good
girl. 1t is said she has not yet lost
confidence in her hayward lover, ev-
en- though the time of her accouche-
ment is only few months distant.
The two had been sweethearts for
several years.
After the above was written we UNI
derstand that Malone sent word to
Judge Taylor that he was willing TO
marry the girl in the case, hut there
had been no developments along this
line at the hour of going to press.

DAUGHTER AND
MOTHER KILLED
In a Desperate Fight
With Officers.
KENTUCKY BORDER-LINE FEUD
Between Two FamilleS-The
Daughter Fell Across
Mothers Dead Body.

w W. wa ANONs 49,
Charles Daniels and her sixteen-year-
old daughter were shot to death this
afternoon near Devon, Mingo county,
by officers and their posse of Pike
county, Ky.
The shooting of Mrs. Daniels and
her daughter grew cut of family
feud, which has been brewing for
some weeks between the Christians
and Daniels on the border of Ken
lucky aud West Virginia. The Chris
tlans lived in Mingo county, West Vir
ginia, and the Daniels in Pike coun-
ty, Kentucky.
About three weeks ago George
Christian ventured to TIE Kentucky
side and was slain by Jim Daniels,
and it is claimed that the murder
was unprovoked and most brutal.
Christian and Daniels were broth
ers-in-law, and had formerly been al
lies, having each served a term in
the West Virginia penitentiary upon
the charge of murder and shooting 10
kill. They fell out over Il trivial
matter and becameSdeadly enemies.
After the killing of Christian by
Daniels the two families and their
friends became involved, and for
some few days both factions have
gone about heavily armed.
The Christians secured warrants for
Jim Daniels and his brother Charles,
who was also said to be implicated in
the murderer of George Christian, and
led by posse of 16 under the COM
mand CT Constable Terrell, of Pike
county, went to the home of the
Daniels this afternoon for the pur-
pose of effecting their arrest.
The two Daniels boys were at the
home of their father, Charles Daniels,
near Devon, and it is said that when
the officers approached within a few
feet Of the house Mrs. Daniels and her
daughter threw open the front door
and opened fire with Winchester ri
files. one of the posse receiving
bullet in the arm, and Nose Christian,
father of the murdered Christian
boy, had his hat shot from his head.
The two Daniels boys and their
father opened fire from behind the
house. Mrs. Daniels was shot down
in the doorway, but the sixteen
year-old daughter stood over her pros
trate form and fired upon the posse
until she dropped dead across her
mother, pierced by three bullets.
The officers closed in, but by for
feiting their lives, the mother and
daughter had so effectually covered
the retreat of father and brother that
they made their escape.
There are now some thirty armed
Christians and their friends on the
West Virginia side, and almost a like
of the followers of the Dan
iels faction on the Kentucky side.
Both factions are armed with Win
chesters, and officers say they are
unable to control the situation, and
il either of these factions crosses the
line and clash, either Governor Glass
Geek, of West Virginia, or Governor
Wilson, Of Kentucky, will be appeal |
ed to.

SCHOOL NOTES.

The hign school is now divided into
two distinct literary societies with in
terest at high pitch You win hear
more from each in the near future.
AS an evidence of the interest shown
in this work we will say that we have
not had a single failure in the entire
year. This is an exceptional record
for high school
The pupils have expressed much
graft ude for the action of the school
board in submitting the bond issue for
the new building
Morning exercises will be more in
teresting next year whent we are in
nice, clean assembly room.
The members of the faculty are de-
irving much benefit from their study
of pedagogy, which is taken up each
week under the direction of Supt.
Masterson. More interest is showl
in the teachers meetings at each sue
.cessive gathering
AS an evi ence of the need of
new building next year and the pres
ent growth of Vinita we may say that
many new pupils are constantly en-
tering our schools
There will be a teachers meeting
next Saturday, the goth. at the high
school building Every one is invited
to come out and hear the discussions
along the lines of helping teacher.
Orders have been placed for die
tionaries with holders for each to the
amount of the money made by our
high school play, and they will soon
be here in use by the pupil
The pupils of the eighth grade are
getting up a great class interest by
organizing themselves and selecting
class pins also colors There will be
about 25 of them enter the higa school
next year.
