OLD TRAGEDY RECALLED
NEGRO WAS SENT TO THE PEN
FOR TERRIBLE CRIME.
Pin Worn by Lexington Man Slain
Twenty-seven Years Ago Returned

I. Ha =
Twenty-seYen years ego the dead
and mangled body Of W. S. Hook
was found lying on the Richmond
and Danville Railroad track (now
the Southern), between the little
towns of Summit and Gilbert Hol-
low, ten miles from Lexington. A
few days afterwards. Squire Clarke.
a negro, was arrested. charged with
having. killed Hook. and placing his
body on the railroad track to cover
his terrible crime. For time the
feeling against the negro ran high,
and after two trials he was convict
ed and sentenced to serve the bal
ance of his life in the State Peni-
tentiary. Clarke is said to have pro-
tested his innocence through thick
and thin, but owing to the fact that
he bore bad reputation in the COM
munity. coupled with, the fact that
he and Hook had had falling out
a day or two before, it was believed
that he. was the guilty party. :.
Another thing which worked
against the accused was that he and
Hook both resided at Gilbert Hol-
low, which was only two miles from
Summit, and both walked the rail-
road on the night in question. Hook
was barkeeper. and at time, drank
to excess. it Is said, and at the time
the negro was tried some OF the cili-
zens believed that he had merely
layed down upon the track and went
to sleep.
Clarke did not remain in the Peni
tentiary long, dying about two years
after being taken there. of consump-
tion. When death was staring him
in the face. and when he knew there
was no possible escape. he is said to
have denied any knowledge OF the
killing of the white man.
Four or FIVE weeks ago a letter
came to Summit, addressed to Mr..
W. s. Hook. Tie postmistress. Mrs.
Shealy. the mother OF Clerk of the
Court Frank ". Shesiy, Of Lexing-
ton, delivered the letter to W. s.
Hook, Jr., who resides in the neigh
borhood. not far away. The letter
was from a gentleman in Charles
ton. and in the letter was ,inclosed
a Masonic pin. bearing the inscr;p-
tion Of "W.SS. Hook" Young Hook
did not know what TO think OF !. as5
first, for he himself was not a Mason,
and he st once began to make in
Quiry. He, told his friends and rela-
tiyes about 1t. To him the finding
Of the body Of w. s. Hook on the
railroad track was but q dream.
But there were others who remem-
bered that terrible tragedy, and it
was learned that the Masonic en-
blem was no other than that which
was worn by w. S. Hok on the night
in which he met his death, but which
was never found.

that he had found the pin q few
days before at the Union Station In

AUT0|STS MAKE NEW START FOR
 MEXICAN GOAL

FL PASO. May 2f.-Two of the original pathfinder party that is try ing to locate a route for the Wanl- green trophy run from Denver to Mexico City. left for Guadalupe to re- pair the pathfinder automobile and continue the trip to Chihuahua. which was stopped by the breaking down of the auto in the middle of the Chihua- hua desert. F. Ed Spooner, the news. paper man on the trip, returned to the car with Billy Knipper, the driv- CT, leaving w. H. Macarton here un- til he has recovered from the effects of his AS mile hike across the desert to get assistance for the marooned autoists Macarton's place in the par ty was taken by W. l.. Degrees, Of Mexico City. who claims to know the country. and has maps from Jed New kirk of Chihuahua who was expected to pilot the party through the sand waste between Fl Paso and Chihua- hua.
 The party left in the auto of c. H. Totten. who will take them to the place where the car was left and will assist them in getting it in readiness for the remainder of the trip. The log book. the most impor ant piece of baggage on the trip. was given to Degrees for the remainder of the trip 10 Chihuahua and if the record is sat isfactory it is probable that Mir. Ma carton will return to Denver and not complete the trip with the pathfinder party. His hip was badly wrenched during the walk across the desert with James Howard in search for help for the stranded pathfinders and, owing to his weight, he was com pletely exhausted from the efforts to reach civilization and get help for his companions.
 Macarton will probably go to Chi huahua with the Fair association ex. cursion Friday night and win meet the car there when it arrives from Guadalupe and have conference with the members of the party as to the advisability of allowing Degrees to continue the trip to Mexico City fin his place.
 Upon the suggestion of c. F. z Ca acristi. a mining man who is ac | qnain.ed with the formation of the country in the northern part of Mex leo. another pathfinder trip will be run from Fl Paso to Maria and from there to Chihuahua, fording the Rio Grande at a point below Maria and striking the wagon road from the riv CT to Chihuahua. This, Mir. Macarton says, looks to be the most desirable route yet selected and arrangements
 may be made for running a car out of Fl Paso to Maria to connect with the pathfinder route at Chihuahua. To avoid any danger of a shortage of food supply. the car that left this morning carried supply of food that would keep the men alive for several
 weeks. An abundant supply of watei will also be taken at the neares; ranch to the place where the car broke down and the sides of the path finder car will be covered with water bags. The date set for the arrival of the party in Mexico City is May 30

DOUGLAS MAY NOT | ENTER PRESCOTT MATCH

President J. B. Kohl of the Pres colt Athletic association has an nounced that he has received assur ance from the Douglas, Globe and Clifton baseball teams of their desire to participate in the big baseball tournament to be held in Prescott in the latter part of June. In addition to these teams. Tucson and Phoenix are expected to send teams.
 Mir. Kohl says that the purses will be bigger than ever hung up for a similar contest, and that the rules will be so that the best team will win and will be satisfactory to all participating.
 It is planned to hold this tourna- ment at the time of the Knights of Columbus annual trip to the Grand Canyon. The railroads have agreed to give exceptionally favorable rates on this occasion, which will enable the Prescott association to bring in five or six teams. and guarantee all expenses.
 Probably no finer place could be selected to hold the tournament. Be sides containing a large percentage of enthusiastic baseball fans, Pres colt offers a magnificent summer eli mate which will enable each player to do his best 10 land the champion ship. and the big purse for his town. As a matter of fact the Douglas baseball management has made no such agreement as the Prescott pro moter announces. though looking with favor upon the proposition. Manager O'Donovan has heard from the Pres colt management. but has requested
 more definite information than has been forthcoming as yet. Even the dates of the proposed tournament have not been set, and as the Doug. las team is already pretty well booked for June 1t is essential to know just when the tournament will
 be held. Other details also are lack ing
 Manager O'Donovan has nothing but praise for the enterprise of Pres colt in arranging the tournament. and. If the information which he ex-
 pects to get later shall prove satis. factory the local team no doubt will
 be found participating in the tourna- ment

The miniature cyclone which disport- ed itself in northeasterly direction through Douglas early yesterday af- ternoon overturned small house out or Eighteenth street, and the sole occupant at the time, Mrs. Luther McCorkell, had a narrow es- cape from serious injury with fatal consequences a possibility. Mir Mo Corkeli. a solicitor for the Palace market, was away from the house and it chanced that young baby also was away. The twister came along shortly after 1 o'clock and with a mighty sweep of wind and sand bowied over the fragile house. Mrs. McCorkell fortunately was not struck by any heavy timbers when the house fell and she escaped with trifiing in iuries.
 Previous to reaching Eighteenth street the twister took from it's moor ings a stable in the rear of J. H. Rountree's house on Twelfth street between D and E avenues
