FLEECED KAISER'S
COURT JEWELER
MEXICAN WHO GOT JEWELS
FROM OTTO KOCH BY FRAUD
CAPTURED IN N. Y.

NEW YORK, Dec. TAT the re-
quest of Germany officials, detectives
today arrested John Ciriole Jose de
Ellerduy, a Mexican, on the charge
that he had swindled the royal court
jeweler, Otto Koch, of Frankfort-on-
Main, Germany, of jewels worth ABOUT
$4,000. The prisoner admitted that
he was the man wanted. He said
he and another man, whose identity
he refused to disclose, went to France
and Germany last summer in order
to make all the money they could.
According to statements the German
police sent to this country the men
made the acquaintance of an artist
who was friend of Koch, telling him
they were rich Mexicans on round
the-world pleasure trip. They spent
money lavishly and won the conf
dence of the artist, who introduced
them to Koch with high recommen-
dalton. They told him they wished
to buy some precious stones.

FRIENDS BOOM LOCAL
LAWYER FOR PLACE
ON SUPREME BENCH
START MOVEMENT TO HAVE Will
LIAM j. WEBSTER APPOINT
ED TO VACANCY.
BUT CONSTITUTION IS A BAR
only Two Can Be Named From One
Grand Division-seVeral From
West Tennessee Are Mentioned for
the Job, Barton Being in the List.

Friends of w. ]. Webster, one OF
the leading lawyers of the Columbia
bar, were preparing to make a pull
on Governor Patterson for the ap-
pointment Of Mr.. Webster to the va
cant place on the Supreme Court
caused by the death Of Justice w d.
Beard in Nashville yesterday. The
premature boom was ripped, however,
when 1t was discovered that the con-
stitution prevents more than two
members of the highest court being
! from the same grand division Of the
State. Middle Tennessee already has
two members on the court-Justices
Grafton Green, of Nashville and D.
L. Lansden, Of Cookeville.
Mr.. webster has always been an
ardent supporter of Governor Patter-
son, being prominent among the law
yers who supported the Patterson ju-
dicial ticket in August. Had 1t not
been for the bar placed on his ap-
pointment by the State constitution,
it is very likely that he could rave
made a splendid showing in the race
70 rthe appointment.
The new judge appointed by Gov.
Patterson will hold office until the
regular election in 1912, when the peo-
pie will name the Judge to hold the
remaining six years of the term.
Prominent among those being men
toned for the seat are Judge f. M.
Barton, Jr., of Chattanooga, who was
defeated by Judge Beard in August;
Judge r. E. Maiden, also candidate
in the August election; Judge Felix
Moore, of Union City, candidate in Au-
gust for the Court of Civil Appeals;
Judge w. w. Farabaugh, of Paris;
Judge S. L. Cockroft, of Memphis,
candidate in the June primary for the
Supreme Court, and several other law
yers of East and West Tennessee.

ALARM.

MARSHALL, Tex, Dec. ITO the
fact that a negro farm hand happen

a Texas and Pacific train near Hall

driven near the rails, protruding far
enough to have derailed the first

Mrs. W. B. Worley is still confined to
her bed, but we hope she will soon be
up again.

C. E. Horne and J. N. Worley went to
Canton Tuesday on business.
Mrs A. l. Horne, of Jackson, spent
a few days the past week with her par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs J. NJ. Baker.
The school at this place closed last
Friday After having been successfully
taught by Mrs. Kate w. Barksdale. Mrs.
Barksdale is one of Rankin's efficient
teachers, and we think ourselves fortunate
in securing her services this year, and we
again made the wise move and reelected
her for next session. We are proud of
the interest that is being manifested in our
little school, and with the cooperation
of patrons, pupils and teacher, we feel
quite sure of more wonderful progress
next year.
Our little school entertainment was well
attended Friday night and enjoyed by all.
We were indeed glad to see so many
while we feared they would be disappoint-
ed, but instead, they went away feeling
that they really got their "dimes" worth.

By the way some timber and real estate
men are visiting Star for the past 10 or
IS days, and things will be en- boom, as
they are going into the razor hone business
d. M. Mayors reported in the News
few weeks ago that such rock had been
located near Star. There is no question
but that there is some good building stone
near Star and in large quantities, and
the largest body of pine timber in one track
in the country All this will be manu-
factured at Star and there is a bright
future for the little town. There is not
a healthier or better country in the county
than Star, and the land is very produc-
tive and cheap. Any one looking for a
good bargain will do well to come to Star.
Now that the senatorial question has
come back to life is a disgrace to Missis-
sippi We send men to look after our
business Interests, and it is a muddle
from the start to finish. We venture
to say that there is ten bushels of pistols
being carried by the law makers in and
around Jackson. They make our laws and
say we must not carry pistols. Let poor
boy or a zoe. negro be caught with pis-
.tol and the judge will say $50 and 70
days. If few editors of papers such
as Jackson affords would keep their papers
a little cleaner of some things there would
not be SO much talk. Let's get men. to
represent us that will not put up with
such things as is row going. Let's get
men that will put a step to such expense
to the state.
