TIPPED AS JUDGE
OF GALLOWAY CO.

There is a hot fight on here for tho
appointment of a successor to Judge

he received the appointment to a
place on the state board of control
There are four applicants for the

lips and w. T. Patterson. 1t Is the
general opinion here that J. c. Erwin
or Patterson will win. MIR. Erwin is
the only Republican attorney at the
Murray bar. He is a law and order
man. The other aspirant, who is be-
lieyed TO have a fair chance of ap-
pointment is Tom Patterson, an OLD
line Republican. He is a former news
paper man and a writer of consider
able reputation. The appointment of
either would be satisfactory. Magis-
trate s. l.. Holland, who is an appi-
cant, is a brother-in-law OF Judge
Wells and a strong man. His advice
and counsel was sought by Judge
Wells and the other officials during
the crusade against night riders. He
Is brother of Walter Holland, nomi-
nee for sheriff, and John Holland, the
present deputy sheriff, who secured
much Of the evidence against the
men now under indictment for night
riding. e. p. Phillips is the present
nominee of the Democrats to succeed
Judge Wells.

the appointment 1t will probably be
the first Republican ever to hold a

Lupton's Tragic Trip.

Messina, Jan. 6.@Stuart X. Lup-
ton, the American vice-consul, was
in his room at the Hotel Victoria
when the building was demolished.
His escape was a miraculous one.
Wearing only his trousers and carry
ing his shoes and his overcoat in his
hand he CROPPED his way along the
quay knee-ieep in water towards the
American consulate.
On the way he met woman and a
man, both quite naked, and he imme-
diately threw his overcoat over thu
shoulders of the woman. Chamber
ing over the ruins of the. consulate he
became conscious OF the fact that his
feet were bruised and bleeding. Then
he wondered why he had carried his
shoes in his hands. He continued in
state of bewilderment until he es-
tablished himself on British ship in
the harbor. Later he again came
ashore and raised the American dag
over the new consulate in a damaged
but one of the few remaining build
ings In the outskirts of the city. Then
Mr.. Lupton began an Industrious
search for Americans.
AL of the Americans who have not
been heard from may be considered
safe. Probably all are in the south
of Sicily. Those who are known to
have suffered from the earthquakes
have been reported. The telegraph
and telephone wires have been placed
at the service Of the government and
personal messages will be delayed in
definitely.
The press correspondent found
amid the ruins OF the Hotel Victoria
the blackboard with the full list OF
the guests of the hotel clearly written
upon It on the night of the disaster.
1t bore besides the name of Mr.. Lup
ton only two other English names
those of British subjects.
