NEGRO STABS HER HUSBAND ID DEATH Body Rolls Down Stairway to
 Sidewalk PLUNGED KNIFE IN NECK Couple Was Heard ouarrellng on Stair way Just Before Trasedy-Womsn
 Claims She Stabbed In
 Self-Defense.
PLUNGED KNIFE IN NECK

Yesterday afternoon a few minutes past g. on the stairway leading to the second floor of of the two-story brick building situated at the corner of Avenue A and Twenty-second street. ida Brandon, a negro woman. stabbed and almost in- stantly killed her husband, West Bran- don, who was employed as a waiter at Paul's cafe.
 It seems that the husband, West, had just returned from work and had i'm mediately engaged in a quarrel with his wife. They started down the stairs to- gether quarreling as they went, but as this was of common occurrence no at- tention was paid to the couple by the other tenants. About half way down the stairs the woman struck the blow that caused the mans immediate death. The weapon used was a pocket knife, the point of the blade entering the throat just below the angle of the left lower jaw, completely severing the caorotid artery and jugular vein. The body rolled down the stairs to the sidewalk, where in about three minutes he bled to death.
 The woman made no attempt to escape, but stood calmly watching the writhings of the dying man. The hemorrhage was very profuse, the negros clothing and a large space on the sidewalk being satu- rated with blood. Officers speedily ar- rived on the scene, as that district Is well patroled No witness could be found ! and probably there were none. as the 1 stairway is dark and narrow. The ne- groes upstairs did not hear the sounds of a struggle All the noise they heard aside from the quarreling was the noise made by the body as it bumped down the stairway and rolled out upon the side walk. The woman claims self-defense, 1 but she did not have a scratch upon her. She was very much unconcerned, not at all nervous or excited.

Bnrge Shot In Sensational Raid

"OLD WHISKERS" CAUGHT

We'll, they finally got him "Dutch" Kennedy and Mir. Nunally, inside war dens at the county jail, killed .'old Whiskers" the other night, but were ashamed to tell it until yesterday, when indications were that the truth about the mater was about to leak out, and 1t is supposed that they did not want the truth to be known
 'Old Whiskers" Is said to have been related either by blood or marriage to every rodent in the jail and 1t Is said that majority of the several hundred are his direct descendants He was so old that about half the hair on his back was gone, and his tail was rusty and his whiskers were uneven and it is un- derstood that one eye was out and he was crippled besides. And yet "Dutch" brass abou low he and MT. Nunally planned ski al maneuvers SD as to corner him, when about all they had to do was to find him in one of the corridors of the jail and knock his head off with d stick. It has taken them three months to catch the decrept old rodent at that The old fellow has been about the jail

since before Colonel Higdon became sher- if and with his death there passes one of the peslxiest critters in the world.
 Jack, the greyhound, says, however. that "Old Whiskers'' was not of a bad sort. He says the rat was a nuisance, but couldn't have been anything else and been a rat, and was a game fighter up to three months ago when he took the rheumatism so badly. "'Old Whisk- CTS and myself have had several fights and l could have killed him twice if it hadn't been for this darned old muzzle l have to wear" said Jack.
 Jack says the thousands of mosquitoes, flies, reaches and other pestiferous in- sects about the jail are aroused by the manner in which "Old Whskers' was slain, and interesting developments, he says, are promised. Jack has been gath ering statistics and stated last night that he finds that n-the-County- Jail is doubling its population every four weeks This brought forth the question from Dutch why is roach, anyway? Jack said he supposed 1t was because a roach was wiggletail and could there fore not be a mosquito.

law, that should receive the greater share of attention. If an axe were brought into court as an exhibit, doubt less the first action >of the lawyers would be to attempt to establish the fact that the axe was a razor because it had sharp edge. It is this squab- bling over technicalities that robs the law of it's majesty"
 In discussing other phases of the pro- hibition question Dr. Dickinson said:
 q like our morning paper for the reason that it is fair enough to pub fish what I have to say, although its views editorially are strongly opposed to mine. I like its news system and many things else about it. But when l see printed in Its columns the nu- merous liquor advertisements published in sheer contempt of the existing laws of our commonwealth; when my eye rests upon some little editorial that argues for safe and sane legislation and the like. much of my admiration is changed to disgust. Such adver- tisements and such editorials weaken the power and encourge contempt of the law. Law is a good thing if . man use 1t lawfully. knowing this. that no law is intended for the righteous man, but for the lawlsss and unruty.'"

To Build Sewers.

New Decatur, August 1.-(Special.)- The city council of New Decatur has just passed an ordinance providing that the sum of s1S.o9o,3s be spent in the construction of a sewer system. The @ ordinance was passed unanimously by the board of aldermen and 1t is ex- pected that work on the system will commence at an early rate. The sur vey was made some time ago by City Engineer w. A. McCalla.
 He placed waggoner under arrest and took him to the chiefs office. After q conference between Chief Bodeker and Mayor O Brien he was turned over to the county authorities and placed in the county jail. At the county jail it was stated that Sheriff Higdon had issued orders upon the request of the Mayor not to let Waggoner talk to any one about the matter at present.
 The affair created great excitement, and it was the one topic of conversation about the business part of town last night. Groups of men were standing on the corner discussing 1t and varied were the opinions expressed.

written. This leaves the success of the hotel project entirely up to the people of Birmingham. As soon as the 40 per cent of the cost of the building, matter of about s400,oo0 preferred stock, is sub scribed, arrangements may be easily per fected to go ahead with the building. The exact site has not yet been deter mined as several are under considera- tion."
 Already s2O0,O0O of the preferred stock has been subscribed, and General Clarke thinks the other will. no doubt, be easily raised, this making 1t very probable that a 12-story modern hotel will rise In the neighborhood of Fourth avenue and Twentieth street within a very short time.

Relatives of Webster came to his rescue and he was released on bond.

NEW NAME GIVEN
TO RIVER JUNCTION
ANTHONY SELECTS EUPHoNlOUS
TITLE FOR HIS PoSToFFICE
AND STORE.

Rondowa is the official name of
John Anthony's town at the mouth
of the Wallowa river, known here
tofore as River Junction. The name
has something of Spanish-Indian
sound, but it is in reality coinage
from the names of the two rivers
Grande Ronde and Wallowa. The
name was suggested by Engineer H.
A. Brandon, who had charge Of the
construction of the Wallowa branch.
Ronuowa will become a postoffice
with Mr.. Anthony as postmaster. He
has forwarded his bond to the post
office department and is daily expect
ing the arrival of his commission.
The townsite is in this county, east
of the Grande Ronde river and north
of the Wallowa and of the railroad
track. Several small buildings have
been erected, in one of which An
thony has a stock Of groceries and
another is a hotel.
Whether the new name is better
than the old is matter of opinion
and so far it is mostly Anthony's
business as he constitutes a clear
majority of the population. How
ever, the old name, River Junction,
expressed the location and sounded
usy-like-you could almost hear the
noise of boiler shops, foundries, ETC.;
whereas the new name expresses
