ATTEMPT AT MURDER.
Shots are Fired at Prosecuting At
tOrney at Union City.

Union City, Tenn, Jan. 3.-An at
tempt to assassinate Attorsey General
Caldwell was made at $50 o'clock
last night, near his home here. He
was followed from the depot by a
man, who shot at him twice as he
neared his home. Union City is not
well-lighted, and, as the man ran
after firing the shots, the attorney
general could not identify his as
sailant.
little behind the attorney gene
raj was the local Associated Press
correspondent, who shot twice at
the would-be murderer, but missed
him.
Alarm was Sounded.
The alarm was sounded, and cor
don OF soldiers and posse of citizens
searched the neighborhood, but with
out avail.
The attorney general was on his
way home for the hight, accompa-
MED by the newspaper men, when
they noticed they were being fol-
lowed. When the reporter dropped
behind his companion, a shot was
fired, and then another, both, how
ever, going wide of their intended
mark. The correspondent fired
twice at shadow skulking in the
street opposite, and Mr.. Caldwell
fired once, but none of their bullets
took effect, the shadow disappear
ing.
Attorney General Won't Talk.
The attorney general declined to
make a statement or even admit the
occurrence, and only wishes that no
publicity be given. Since the begin
ming Of the night rider trials, his
friends have declined to let him go
home alone, and have taken turns
acting as escorts.
The town is full Of people of the
Reelfoot Lake region, the strong
hold Of the night riders, many of
whom have been drinking, but the
town is being patrolled and no fur
ther trouble Is anticipated.
Officials Threatened.
During the trial of the night rid
ers Judge ]. e. Jones, who is presid-
ing, has received many threats from
friends Of the prisoners in various
parts Of the State. The prosecuting
attorney has also been threatened
with death, and even Governor Pat
terson has been deluged with anony-
nous letters from persons supposed
to be members Of the oath-bound
organization. None of these have de-
TERED the officials in the discharge
of their duty, their determination
being to stamp out the night rider,
evil in the State.

The fourth annual ball given by
B. Of L. F. & E. last evening was a
grand success and the hall was
filled with dancers, who enjoyed
the affair with the keenest delight.
The hall was tastefully and elab-
orately decorated with bunting and
evergreens and on the stage was
built an imitation of the front end
of locomotive which gave a good
effect. In bower near the stage
punch was served by the ladies to
all who desired. The orchestra was
the best, and it was in the wee
small hours of the dawn when the
party broke up.

OVERCOAT STOLEN
FROM THE CADILLAC

G. A. Murphy who represents a
lawyer in st. Paul and is here
looking up business, had valuable
overcoat stolen from the office of
the Hotel Cadillac Thursday even
ing.
Murphy had just finished his
supper and laid his overcoat down
in chair and was standing at the
desk reading a paper for a few
minutes with his back turned, and
when he got ready to go ont his
coat was missing.
At first it was thought that some
OF his friends were playing practi-
cal joke, but this proved not to be
the case and search was made in
hopes that the culprit could be
found, but there was nothing doing.
Quite a number of people were
in the office at the time, but 10
one had noticed Murphy lay his
coat down and did not know that
there had been anything stolen
until he reported it missing, so nc
one could give a description of the
party at all.
The police were notified and
made thorough search in all the
saloons and hang-outs, but no clue
could be found, so Murphy will no
doubt have to purchase a new one
if the weather we had this week
holds out. He is also minus a new
pair Of gloves and silk muffler
which were in the pockets.

CLOSE STORES
CHRISTMAS EVE

This year for the first time since
the foundation Of the city, there
will be no stores open and doing
business in St. Paul Christmas eve.
Not only has the Early Sh pping'
propaganda won out so far as the
consumer is concerned, but it has
also brought into the fold the mer-
chants. The St. Paul people have
been agitating the early shopping"
movement for weeks, and finally it
crystallized in one which looked to
the closing of the stores Christmas
eve, thus giving the hard-worked
clerks not only that night at home.
but also the surety that they would
be in physical condition to enjoy
Christmas with their families. Rev.
J. J. Lawler of the cathedral
parish of the Roman Catholic
church, was one OF the leaders in
the movement and he conferred
with the owners of the big stores.
They wanted to know what their
competitors were going to do.
Father Lawler settled that point by
persuading the competitors to give
their clerks a Christmas eve at
home and at conference be
argued the case of the clerks be-
fore the assembled proprietors.
The closing agreement was signed
without protest snd the day was
won for the clerks. Record.

0REGONA GOES TO
PORTLAND FOR REPAIRS

The steamer Oregona, which was
stranded on a reef in the william
ette river near Dayton about two
weeks ago, will be ready to be
launched and sent to Portland for
final repairs soon, according to d
statement made by County Clerk AL
len, who returned last evening from
a business visit to his farm near st.
Paul, Oregon.
The steamer when stranded sank
in about six or eight feet of water,
and the large cargo of merchandise
which it carried was badly damaged.
Since then workmen have raised it,
and it is now resting on the bank of
the river, while false bottom is be-
ing constructed for it to be used in
its journey to Portland. The work
is now about completed, and the
boat will be launched in a few days.
The steamer was one of the finest
and best operating on the william
cite or Columbia rivers.

PRAYS TO BE RELEASED
FROM WEDL0CK

Four years of happy married life,
and then came the break, and affec-
tion died and two lives were plunged
into a separate existence is the story
told in complaint for divorce filed
in the circuit court today by Mason
Mickenham against his wife, Mary
Mickenham.
The marriage, the husband says in
his complaint occurred in the city of
Salem on November 23, 1904, and
they lived happily together until one
day in July, 1908, at Turner, Ore,
trouble came, but the complaint does
not say what, and the wife left the
husband. Shortly after that, he says,
he came to Salem in search of en-
ployment, and after securing it sent
for her to join him, but she declined
to come. Ever since they have lived
separate and apart and the husband
now asks that a decree of divorce
be given him, making that separation
permanent.
N children resulted from the un-
ion, nor are there any property
rights to be adjudicated between the
parties.
