POSED AS MINISTER.
Young Man Calling Himself REV.
Ivan M. Gray Turns Out to be
Swindler.

St. Louis, Jan. 25.-That a young
man who for four months preached
from the pulpit Of rhe Congregational
church in Greenwood, a suburb Of
this city, was an impostor, using the
name Of a Chicago clergyman, was.
the allegation made in a letter reeeiv-
ed today from the Moody Bible insti-
tute, Chicago, by Rev. Herman
Swartz, pastor Of the Webster Groves
Congregational church. The clergy
man called himself "Rev. Ivan NJ.
Gray" and just before leaving Green
wood he paid several accounts with
checks drawn for greater amounts
than the bills called for. In this way
he received $100 in change. The
checks were returned as worthless by
a suburban bank. As the man said
that he was a graduate Of the Moody
Bible institute, inquiry was made
there. The answer states that Mr..
Gray is pastor of Chicago church
and has never been in St. Louis. He
was robbed, according to the letter,
by a young convert whom he took in
to his home and it is believed that
the man who passed the checks in
Greenwood was the same individual
who robbed Mr.. Gray.

opposed cry strenuously by the rail-
roads on account Of the additional
cost which it will entail, and because,
they say, that it does not aid any en-
gineer in seeing objects on the track.
It is very probable that this bill will
be passed by the legislature.
Quite a number of visitors have
been in Columbia during the week
who are interested in the elections.
No action has been taken by the
ways and means committee as yet on
the appropriation bill, and, Of course,
these bills cannot we'll be reported
until it is known what disposition
will be made of the new measures
carrying with them additional appro-
priations.
The estimate Of the comptroller
general on the basis Of appropriations
made last year is that with the other
sources Of income the expense of the
government can be met with a five
mill tax. That will depend, however,
upon adoption Of new measures car
rying with them additional appro-
priations. It seems that the disposi-
tion Of the present house is to keep
the appropriations down.
Mr.. H. C. Holloway, attorney Of
the board Of county commissioners,
was in Columbia last night to confer
with the Newberry delegation as to
county matters. He is going to make
up statement showing the financial
condition of the county and send to
them at the earliest possible conven-
ienee. He estimates roughly that
the expenses Of the county during
1908 were about $4,000, the income
! only about $4,000. The note for
$1,000 which was borrowed from the
sinking fund has not yet been paid.
The county fund has been overdrawn
about $4,000, and the balance Of un-
collected taxes estimated at only
about $4,000. It is probable that
the tax levy will be made four and
half mills for county purposes.

Yeggman Shot to Death.
"Tbis shot missed Walker, and
Walker emptied his revolver at the
yeggman, firing five shots, four Of
which went through the yeggman's
body. The yeggman lived about
three-quarters Of an hour. He did
not speak after being wounded.
"At this hour, 10 a. NJ, Stone is
resting very we'll. The only serious
wound is through the bowels. It is
thought that he has a fighting chance
for life, or else he would have died
from hemorrhage before this time.
"Dr. Guerry has been wired to
come to Laurens this afternoon, and
it is very likely that Stone will be
operated on this afternoon, if he is
still living when DR., Guerry arrives.

the yeggman were found all the tools
and explosives usually used in safe
cracking. including nitro-glycerine

The Law Against Rafting.

1t is currently reported that
several violations of the law against
rafting have occurred in this city
and county recently, and if so, it
is rather singular that local officials
have not discovered the fact and
called the offenders to account.
The Leader, a year or two ago,
published the section of the Missis-
sippi Code against rafH ing, but for
general information it is here pub
lished again for the enlightenment
of all interested. 1t is section 1886
of the Code of 1906, and is as fol-
lows:
If any person, in order to raise
money for himself or another, shall
publicly or privately, put up or in
any way offer any prize or thing
to be raffied or played for, he shall,
on conviction, be fined not more
than twenty dollars or be impris-
oned not more than one month in
the county Jail. 7"
This section is published in the
Code chapter on Crimes and Mis-
demeanors, in the ''same" con-
nection with lotteries, which are
prohibited in Mississippi by both
statutory and constitutional law,
and of course was enacted by the
lawmakers to be enforced, just
like the law, against lotteries or
any other section of the Chapter on
Crimes and Misdemeanors.
The city of Brookhaven also has
an ordinance prohibiting raflles,
which is substantially the same as
the Code section, except that it
gives the Mayor the larger discre-
tion of imposing both fine and i'm
prisonment against offenders, if
convicted
II Mayor Hoffman or Justice
Daughtry or Justice Butler, in the
exercise Of the discretion which the
law gives them, would send the
next person convicted before him
of rafting to Jail for 80 days. and
not make travesty of the law by
imposing a fine that the raf1er can
easily pay with profit out of his
unlawful gains, and which he prob
ably figures on before he goes into
such a scheme. it will very quickly
put quietus on this pernicious
and demoralizing practice.
