FOUR HORSE TEAM N
A BAD RUNAWAY
BELONGED TO THE KELLEY
WOOD COMPANY-NO
ONE HURT.

| A four-horse team Of the William
Kelley Wood Company, driven by
Jake" Ekoos, ran away last evening
and dashed madly down Eleventh
street from the top OF the hill
Though the horses are heavy draft
animals they made good time down
the steep hill and their flight appear
ed both spectacular and dangerous.
As the horses reached the bottom
of the hill, on Exchange, one of the
rear horses suddenly went down like
a shot. With this heavy drag on
the others they soon were brought
to a standstill, and while several
sprang to the heads Of the thorough
ly frightened horses, Ekoos cody
dropped the lines and jumped out Of
his wagon to go to the aid OF the
fallen horse. Alter a few moments
the fallen horse was raised to its
feet, when it began to struggle and
there was a scattering in the crowd
that had collected. Suddenly the ami
mails lurched forward, and Harry
Hustead, a driver for Fisher Bros,
who had come forward to lend his
aid in the mix-up, suddenly found
himself confronted by the frightened
animals.
He was on the sidewalk just to the
south of the Bank building, and with
out an instanfs delay he vaulted
over the fence and down into the
deep lot there, falling distance Of
Il or IA feet. That he was not badly
hurt he probably owed more to good
luck than anything else, for he lit
amid a pile of logs and debris. Soon
Cake" got his horses slaughtered
out and drove off. Had the horse
not fallen at the foot Of the hill there
might have been serious trouble
ahead, as the street was filled with
teams and pedestrians. The manner
in which the animal went down in
dictated that it suffered a mighty
sudden slip or else that the driver
had thrown" the animal with a quick
and powerful trick with the lines

The Man Who Eats.

The man who eats does so with
the expectation Of being satisfied. To
this end he seeks the best possible
place to crafty his normal appetite at
most rational expense. These things
account for the steady stream of
people to and from the portals of the
Palace Restaurant in this city. The
reputation Of the Palace is founded
immoveably upon the certainty and
amplitude Of the service it renders to
every purse, and appetite, big and
little. Open day and night Com

will be remembered that the last cleo
ton he was a candidate for judge
against the present judge, Afonzo j.
Tyler, and that the election was con-
tested and Judge Tyler gained by a
small margin
Although the election is now more
than year off there are three an
nounced candidates-Paul f. Divine,
A. j. Tyler and Dana Harmon. Others
are talked of as probable candidates and
among them is Judge FL. 7. Campbell
who was the judge previous TO the last
election. Much is said about the pro-
bable influence of Congressman Brown
low in the selection of candidate for
the judgeship, as the selection will
probably be made by convention, the
primary election law not being appli-
cable to judicial race. There appears
to be good reason to believe that the
Brownlow preference, if indeed he shall
have preference will cut no figure
and that it will be afree-for-all canvass
at least until the action of the conven-
tion.
For Encouragement there are now
three aspirants, ID. A. Vines, S. e. N.

OF FARMERS
CONVENTION
MANY DEMOCRATS THERE
East Tennessee Farmers Refuse to
Indorse Congressman Dick
Austin's Scheme.

Knoxville, May 20.-The Fast Ten
nessee farmers convention came to a
close today after listening to an address
from Commissioner of Agriculture
Thompson and electing the following
officers: w. r. Reeves, of Washington
County, president; j. w. Cate, Brad
ley County, vice-president; II. A. Nor
gan, Knox County, secretary and treas
urer; A. r. Rankin, Marion County,
assistant secretary.
On behalf of the convention, hand
some silver services were presented
Secretary Morgan and the retiring
president, w. T. Roberts, of McMinn
County.
The convention, by resolution, in
dorses the East Tennessee fair project
and parcels post. A letter read from
Congressman Dick Austin, stating that
farmers Institutes were to be conducted
at different points by speakers of the
department of agriculture in Washing
ton, brought up considerable debate.
Some thought that because thespeakers
were coming at the request of the con-
gressmen Of the first and second con-
gressional districts any favorable action
by the convention might be construed
in a political sense, and that the con-
vention wanted to steer clear of any
thing that hinted at politics. Many
speakers thought thoughtthe institutes
would afford opportunity of hearing
well-known speakers. The debate was
cur off by resolution indorsing the
state commissioner and state expert
ment force as fully competent to look
after all needed institutes in behalf OF
the farmers.
