Won Money but Lost Life.

Dresden, Tenn, August 7.-Three
young brothers named Alexander. af-
ter having slain the son OF neigh
Dor in the course Of picnic near
Kenton, Tenn, held the pursuing
crowd at bay until they made their
escape, but were afterwards captured
by deputy sheriffs and placed in jail
at Kenton, where they were threaten
ed with lynching by infuriated neigh
bors last night. The affair grew out
of a crap game. Robert Simmons,
Jr., having won the money, mounted
his horse to ride away when one of
the Alexanders, it is said, seized the
bride, another stabbed Simmons and
when he fell to the earth the third
Alexander rushed up and beat him
with a club. The picnic party rushed
to the rescue but the three Alexand-
ers drew revolvers and got away for
the time. Fear of lynching has
abated.

FATHER LOSES DAUGHTER.
But Undaunted Suitor Cleverly Wins
Bride.

Norfolk, Va, August 6.-His pas
sion for sightseeing proved too
strong for W. T. Mutter, of Ports
mouth, and it resulted in losing his
17-year-old daughter, at Elizabeth
City, N. c., after the police had
wrested from John McClanny, with
whom she had eloped. The father,
who went to Elizabeth City, when he
received word that the police had
found the eloping pair, locked the
girl in a room at a hotel. He had
reproved McClanny, and it was sup
posed the latter had given up all
thought of wedding the girl.
Mr.. Mutter started on sight-see-
ing trip about town and almost i'm
mediately Mr.. McClanny drove up in
buggy and effected rescue of the
girl. They drove to Camden, N. c.,
and were married.

Tainted Money.

John A. Bernhard, local lawyer,
was recently assigned to defend a
man charged with stealing a gold
watch from a minister, says the New
ark Star. Bernhard believed the
story told by the man and worked
hard in the case, although he had
no expectation of getting any money
out of his client.
After listening to an impassioned
appeal from Bernhard asserting his
clients innocence, the jury brought
in verdict of not guilty.
The client was effusive with thanks
and regretted he had no money to
give the lawyer for his services.
That's all right" said Bernhard,
"some time when you get hold of a
$40 bill bring 1t to me and we'll call
it square,
Bright and early the next morn
ing in walked the man with $40
bill.
"Why, where did you get this so
quickly?" askeo the astonished Bern
hard.
"Oh, I sold the minister's watch
last night" was the calm reply.
Bernhard did not accept the
money.

Frankly, now, do you know of any
newspaper or voter who votes
against the dispensary OF bar
rooms when he has the chance,
who favors the election Of Mr..
Mcleod as governor? There's the rub.
Mr.. Mcleod may be local optionist
all right, but his votes will come
from people who favor the sale of
liquor-either through bar rooms or
dispensaries. The News and Courier
has always advocated the sale OF
whiskey, and it has come out for Mr..
Mcleod, and he may well pray to be
delivered from such friends. The
people of South Carolina and the
News and Courier are not likely to
be in accord on this subject, or on any
other for that matter.

A CHINANLAN'S WEALTH.

nese laundry owner, who has operat-

Pacific coast, Kitsap county, Wash

money and certificates of deposit

Kee was arrested by United States
Inspector Hamer, Friday afternoon,
for having opium in his possession.
Under the statutes it is now a crime
to have the poppy drug, even for
ones own use. When Kee was ar
rested in his room the officers dis
covered two large wooden chests.
These they decided to seize and
search, believing they contained
opium.
When they attempted to carry them
from KEGS room they were too heavy
to move. How they were carried into
the room has not yet been discovered.
1t was decided to open the chests in
the room. The officers found no
opium, but they did find sack after
sack crammed full of certificates of
deposit, gold coin and paper money.
They carried the sacks to a place of
safekeeping, after estimating that
KEGS wealth amounted to at least
$150,000.

Tomb in Rear of Costly Home.

Residents of the fashionable Occur
d'Alene district, near Venice, will
present a petition to the board OF
trustees of Venice, asking that E. F.
Kelner, a wealthy mining man, be re-
strained from completing a tomb for
himself and wife in the rear of his
beautiful summer mansion.
Mr.. Kelner declares that the idea
is common in the South. He stated
yesterday that he desired to be buried
in the rear of his beautiful mansion
in order that the home, which he built
at the cost of more than $4,000,
might not be disposed of by his chill
dren.
1T is a matter is sentiment with
me-" said MIR. Kelner. What is life
without sentiment? The erection OF
tomb near a home is common in the
South. I conceived the idea there.
On my last trip to Arizona I brought
box containing earth from my
fathers grave. This will be placed
inside the tomb. I came to your
beautiful southland to make my
home, and it is near my home that
desire to- be buried. Another rea-
son is that if I and my wife are laid
at rest here our children will never
dispose of the home"
Mr.. Kelner's plan is to erect the
concrete tomb one foot below the sur
face of the ground. 1t will contain
two vaults large enough to contain
two hermetically sealed cofins. The
interior of the tomb will be studded
with ore from the valuable collection
owned by Mr.. Ke1ner. The cofins,
which will cost approximately $500
each, will be of Arizona copper. The
name of Mr.. Kelner and his wife will
be inscribed with gold ore. The ore
which will be placed in the vaults is
valued at several thousand dollars

hatchet and striking at the white
man. Knowles was in a corner,
drew his pistol and fired with the
