Charged With Killing Her Father.

There was some little excitement
in town last Saturday evening and
through Sunday. Susie Covington
was arrested and tried before JUS
tees Shields and Livermon Saturday
evening charging her with killing
her father, SAM ovington. The ev-
idence as best we could gather was
as follows: The old man went home
about two weeks before his death
under the influence of whiskey and
began to raise a row with his daugh-
ter. He was chasing her around the
yard when she gathered up an axe
and he suddenly fell in an unconscious
condition and remained in that state
until his death. 1t was generally
thought that she gave him a blow,
but the DR.. could never find any
bruise. After hearing all the evil
dence brought before them the mag
istrate decided that there was not
sufficient evidence to bind the Wom-
an over to court and therefore set
her at liberty.
This did not satisfy the friends of
the old man and on Sunday morning
Coroner J. J. Robertson was notified
and came over from Enfield and held
an inquest. At the inquest some
new evidence was brought out and
the jury reached the conclusion that
there was probable cause and bound
the woman over under a two hun
dred dollar bond, which she gave.
The defendant was represented by
Mr.. A. P. Kitchin and the State by
Mr.. Albion Dunn.

Last week we called the atten

J.. c. Hubbell leaving the house
just prior to taking a vote on the
local option bill and tried to deal
fairly with the subject, and at the
same time use language not sub
ject to two interpretations. Since
that time we have had personal as
surance from Mr.. Hubbell and
others, that he did not side step,
as not only his friends but also his
enemies we are unable to explain
why he should have absented him
self at such an important time, but
the following letter will certainly
satisfy the people here that his CO.
laborers in the house rely on him
as a supporter of local option:
