possibly his physicians can tell.
When one leaves the city of New

Mr.. Hartman selected Tower hill,

p. Ford, one Of the most capable and
experienced constructionists in the
state, was engaged by Mr.. Hartman
as general superintendent, and to him
is due the exquisite home grounds and

complete and has all kinds of safety
devices. II is pretty trip up through
the trees, and one forgets that he Is
travelling up 1900 feet at an elevation
OF almost 20 per cent. An automobile
with heavy cushions and fitted to run
on these tracks makes the trip from
the railroad station at the foot of the
mountain up the incline and directly
into the house.
Every arrangement that will insure
comfort, convenience, lack of commo-
tion or excitement about the summit
Of the mountain has been installed.
For instance, q track leads from the
incline railroad directly into the house
into what is known as the service
court. The tracks enter tunnel about
200 feet from the house and run un-
der the front terrace SO that the cars
cannot be seen from the lawns, ter

TO ANSWER FOR CRIME
NEGRO WILL BE BROUGHT BACK
 TO MONTGOMERY.
Anderson Mefxinnon is lAcensed of
 Taking Part In Murder of Louis Pueh Twenty Years ago.

After twenty years residence on comfortable estate of his own Ander- son McKinnon. an aged negro, will be brought to Montgomery today and placed in the county jail to answer the charge of implication in the murder of Louis Pugh in the southern part of Montgomery county in 1889.
 Louis Pugh was murdered in, his home one night by three negroes Green Braclxshaw, Anderson and John McRinnon. Brackshaw was captured and hanged. The McKinnon brotbers escaped. For number of years large reward was outstanding for the apprehension of the negroes. After 1t expired friends and relatives of the man worked toward the cap- ture of his .slayers.
 Several days ago. Sheriff Hood re- ceiyed information from McRae, Ga, that Anderson McKinnon was living on a farm near the Georgia. town, that his mode of living suggested a com fortable income. Sheriff Hood imme- diately wrote to the sheriff of Telfair County, Georgia, instructing him to arr rest McKinnon. His instructions were carried but, and J. W. Afford, Jr., and A. U. Pugh, a grandson of the mur- dered man, went to Mcfaae and conti- dently identified the prisoner as Ander- son McKinnon In spite of the long lapse of time, they said that there IS small possibility of mistake.
 Horace Hood. Ir., deputy sheriff, left last night for McRae to return with the negro to Montgomery. He prob- ablv will arrive today.

 Mayor Teague said yesterday that he was heartily in accord with the views Of MT. Mclean in his efforts to better the condition of the charities of Mont gomery and would do all in his power to further the movement, but since his time as Mayor of Montgomery is so short he had referred Mir.

 FOUND THE BIG TREES

CT before the greatness of Gods power
 As they were in Mariposa County I named them the Mariposa Grove of Big Trees. As MT. John Muir writes: The Big Trees. the king of all the conifers of the world, the noblest of a noble race.' On measuring the largest one I found 1t to be. .twenty-nine feet in di- ameter
 T lived among the beautiful grove until had regained my health. By that time the mighty stream of tour ists had begun to pour in. I sold my place to company, who named 1t af- ter the Indian name for Big Tree Wah- wo-nah.
 "The Yosemite Valley knew to be but some twenty-four miles from there and as had grown to love nature determined to make my home here. My life has not been out of the ordi- nary. I can say that owe my long life, health and happiness to the life with nature. My only wish now is to die here in Gods garden"
