MARE FALLS AND
BREAKS HER NECK
TURNS TURTLE ON THE HAMP-
SHIRE PIKE AND Is INSTANT.
LY KILLED.

An occurrence that was very mucn
out of the ordinary took place on ire
Hampshire pike near the arsenal on
Thursday night, when a mare driven
by Douglass ard Stewart Stephenson,
and belonging to walter Fraser, fell
and killed herself.
Douglass works at Evans, Parker
g. Moore's and Stewart works at the
Nichols Produce Co. and they so to
their home on the Hampshire pike at
night. Last night their horse got
away from them in front of the Cen
tnry Club and they hired the mare
from Waiter Fraser at the stable &c
drive home and look for their cwn
horse.
After searching for some time and
while driving down a small glaoe
near the old arsenal at the c. NJ. A
| grounds the animal tripped and fell
turning complete somersault, tear
ing the harness loose and striking hel
head on the pike, and breaking he1
neck. The young men got out OF the
buggy and telephoned the ln1orma
ton to the liveryman.
Mr. Fraser was seen this morning
and said that the animal was rathe'
a free driver and that so far as NJ
knew had never known her to sum
bile before. From the reports the &C
cinen1 seems TO nave been an .Ia
voidable one in which no parttcula
blame attaches to anyone.

SOME DOUBT AS TO HIS NAME
AND INVESTIGATION -

Mr.. Bell Knows Nothing of Any
Transaction With Negro and Says
Check Is Signed Wrong-Poice,
man Lancaster Makes Arrest.

A negro named Vestal or Frierson,
the certainty of either being matter
of doubt, is in jail awaiting the ar
rival of T. F. Bell from Century for
identification.
Frierson is charged with forging a
check on Mr.. Bell for the sum Of SIS,
and was arrested when he attempted
to pass the same at the New York
Store. He entered the store after
supper asking for a pair of overalls.
He seemed to dislike the overalls and
asked for some underwear and was
suited and made a purchase amount
ing to $1.20, presenting the check as
payment. Barney Smolinskey noted
the check was not dated and not
knowing the signature of Mr.. Bell
went out to verify it. Some of those
to whom he showed 1t doubted its au-
thenticity and Mr.. Bell was called up
and denied any knowledge Of it. The
negro also talked to Mr.. Bell and eth

ORGANIZED FRAUD
BY NEGRO DOCTORS
IN CHAT TANOOGA
LICENSE TO PRACTICE SECURED
BY PROXY Is THE
CHARGE.
Evidence In Preliminary Indicates
That Prosecutors Are Such Be-
cause They Were Turned Up to the
State Board of Examiners.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Oct. 49,
Negroes of Chattanooga, and possibly
other sections Of the State, have been
practicing frauds on the State board
of medical examiners, according to
evidence given in trial Of DR.. Thos.
II. Lavender, a negro physician of
this city, yesterday, who was prose-
cuted by men OF his race whom he
had declined to impersonate before
the State board.
The scheme seems to have been for
negroes, ambitious to be doctors, but
unlearned in medicine, to procure
some educated negro to appear in
their name before the examiners and
secure a certificate, for which certain
contracted sums were paid. The the
DRY that all negroes look alike to
many people seems to have been
practically applied, and examinations
have been passed within the past
year by proxy.
DR.. Lavender is accused by the
Rev. l.. G. Drane, negro Baptist
preacher, and DR., J. T. Mason, who
had no license, of having knowledge
of a deal made by them with certain
professional examination takers,
and of keeping the facts he knew
from the knowledge of the state
board, in consideration of $40 by one
or both OF them paid. Technically,
Lavender is accused of compounding
the offense.
The impression gained from the ev'
idence introduced was that the two
negroes, Drane and Mason, are en-
deavoring to play even with Laven
der because he supplied evidence
against them to the local negro med
ical society, on which prosecutions
were undertaken by the State boarc
of examiners. They claim that money
was paid Lavender in purchase Of
his silence This Lavender denies
and the fact was well established
that he did not keep silence, but tolt
the authorities all he knew. However
Lavender was held to the grand jury
on a presumption of guilt, his bono
being placed at $500. Attorney Chas
H. Smith, of Knoxville, prosecuted
the case in the name Of the State
> board of medical examiners. AJtor
ney w. L. Frierson, of this city ap
peared for the defense.

GREAT SERMON BY
DR.. DETWELLER
A SONG SERVICE AND OLD TIME
SONGS MAKE THE CHURCH
RING.

Rev. Detweiler, of Nashville
preached at the First Methodist
church Thursday night, and there
was perhaps even a larger attendance
than there was on the night before to
hear DR.. McMurray. The service
was a most interesting one and con
tinued almost to 10 o'clock. After
the preaching there was a song ser
vice in which the vast audience join
ed in singing the old time songs anc
participated in fervent handsbakes
that was like a genuine Methodist re
vival.
After the service there was mucf

at Nashville by the visiting ministers

remind him when the check was CIV
en- out, buI failed.
Mr. Bell was called by phone this
morning and said that the check was
evidently a forgery as it was not
properly signed He never signs any
checks himself except those that go
to the wholesale business, and the
other checks are signed "T. F. Bell,
Special, by w. H. Lentz." The check
in question is signed "T. F. Bell,
Special" but the name Of the clerk
is omitted, and for that reason Mr..
Bell is positive that the check Is a
forgery, as he cannot place the ne
gro or remember of having any trans
actions with him. The negro claims
that Mr.. Bell gave him the check
