Uncle Sans service in the Cos,
and while his regiment was quar-

in number of theatricals in

ever been to put ON clean, re-

that is probably why his troupe
is able to continue at one place

COUNTY BOARD MEETS.
Turkey Creek Canal Appropriation
Has String Tied to It-Lawn Seats
Purchased.

The County Board met Tuesday in
all day session to discuss many mat
ters that pertained to the good of
the county, the main proposition
coming up was the Turkey Creek Ca
nal drainage plan which was reopened
at the request Of City Council and
property owners who met with the
Board and asked that this be done.
1t was decided after the matter had
been discussed for some time that
the county was willing to grant an ap-
preparation Of $500 for the cleaning
OF Turkey Creek Canal provided that
the earth thrown up in the cleaning
out Of the canal be made into banks
which be maintained so as to pre-
vent the caving in of earth from the
sides Of the canal.
City Council, when the proposition
was reopened, asked that the county
raise the appropriation for the work
from $500 to 500. The County Board
did not see the matter in the same
light as the City Council did and de-
cided that $500 was as much as the
county's share Of the work was worth.
The board therefore put in pro-
vision not in its previous grant Of the
$500. This provision was that the
parties who permanently maintained
the canal also maintain the banks
that were formed when the canal
was cleaned out as it was only by
keeping the banks in good shape that
the canal could be kept permanently
open.
The Union Savings Bank Of Cincin-
natl, Ohio, which had purchased the
20 year Road Improvement bonds
asked that further resolutions, giving
history Of how the bonds came to
be sold, be put in the minutes Of
the Board meeting. Resolution sat-
isfactory to the bank were included
in the minutes of the meeting and
were adoptd by the Board.
The County Board then decided to
purchase 10 iron seats at a cost of
$3.50 each to be placed on the court
house square.
Hampton Lee was granted an ex-
Confederate pension.

FIRE WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.
Residence of Mr.. &. f.. McFaddcn
Burned Wednesday.

The hose teams were called out
shortly after o'clock yvedn ssday af-
ternOon to a fire which destroyed the
roof ana ceiling or the residence OF
Mr.. G. l. McFaddeu at The cornsr OF
Washington and Liberty Streets. The
damage done to the house was co.s.d-
erable and will probably amount to
more than a thousand dollars, while
the loss will be made more when the
damage done to the furniture is added
TO that done to the house.
The fire was supposed to have
caught from electric wires in the
house, although there was fire in one
room at the time that the fire broke
out, although 1t was in the room
across from that in which the fire
caught. When the reel wagons were
called out and reached the scene, the
fire had already made considerable
headway and was shooting forth in a
fierce blaze from the roof Of the
house.
AT one time IL looked as if the fire
would get away and the whole build
ing be destroyed, but soon after the
three streams of water were turned
on the fire was stopped from spread
ing and under control in a few min
utes. At one time when there were
several persons up stairs engaged in
bringing out the furniture, the past-
@ring and ceiling gave way over them,
railing on their heads and it was fear
ed that some one might be injured.
The stairway was soon cleared, how
ever and 1t was not long after this
that the fire was under control.
All Of the second story of the house
was destroyed and will have to be
replaced, while the first story was
only slightly injured by the water
that leaked through from upstairs.

SHOOTING AT GREELEYVILLE.
Murat B. DIIOrme Shoots f.. Il.
Rhodus in Quarrel about Land.

y Disagreement between Murat B.
DcLorme and 4. B. Rhodus as TO the
conditions on which lot OF land was
sold ended Monday night IN Il
fight between the two parties during
which DeLorme shot at Rhodus five
times wounding him in three
places.
From what has been learned here
OF the shooting it appears that De-
Lorme sold Rhodus a lot Of land up
on which Rhodus built a store and
started up a merchandise business.
1T seems that there was some dis
agreement as to whether or not
Rhodus had promised DeLorme that
he would not build store on it, De-
Lorme saying that he had so promised
and Rhodus saying that he had not
bought the lot until he had been
granted the privilege Of building the
store or whatever else he wanted on
1t. The lie WAS passed and the two
parties came to blows. After several
blows were plased the two men were
separated and Rhodus started TO
walk out Of the store when DeLorme
drew his pistol and shot at Rhodus
five times. Three bullets took effect
one in the shoulder one in the side
and one in the hip. The wounds,
while serious, are not necessarily IA
tai unless blood poison sets in. De-
Lorme has been arrested.
Mr.. Rhodus is a brother of Mrs
