GUN MAN TO RETIRE
MAN REGAINS HIS SENSES
Chandler Rogers, Who Puzzled Seat

He Is.

New Bedford, Mass.-Awakening to
his real identity for the second time in
fourteen years, Chandler Rogers of Sc
attic, Wash, the man who forgot
found himself at the Emergency hos
pital here surrounded by a group of
physicians, who are studying his
strange case.
Fourteen years ago man giving his
name as Earl Keller drifted into Se-
attic, secured a position, courted many
women, one of whom he subsequently
married. Several months ago he was
found suffering from pressure of the
brain. Physicians trepanned his skull.
The patient announced after the effect
of the anesthetic had worn of, that
his name was Chandler Rogers and it
was found that the previous fourteen
years of his life was a blank. He
could not even remember that he had
ever been known as Keller
On December 26 he went to Boston
to visit his sister, Mrs. Florence w.
Walling, whom he had not seen for
fifteen years. A few days ago he
made arrangements to enter the Seidis
institute at Portsmouth, N. H. Later
he was picked up in the streets here
and taken to the hospital where he
was treated for &c hours before he
awoke to his real identity for the Sec
ond time. His watch and money were
missing and he believes he was robbed
while he was suffering from hfs

Sermons and Impressions,


In listening to sermon or other ad-
dress, there is this to be said: The
next day, or perhaps the next hour,
one cannot accurately report single
thing that is said. One may give an
impression. In very imperfect way
that the whole discourse has made
upon him, but as to any definite in
struction, that is almost universally
lacking.
A man will say: THAT was a fine
sermon" but to quote line from it
accurately is quite impossible. That
has been our experience. We will feel
the glow Of an idea, maybe, but just
what that idea is we cannot say. Per-
haps it is not necessary. Perhaps it is
we'll enough to feel only the influence
Of what was said.
Still, one should learn something
definite from every sermon he hears.
There is never sermon that has not
something in it worth remembering.
One need not agree with it altogether,
but If it is sentence or thought that
has beauty, a harmony, an appeal in
it, 1t is worth calling to mind next
day.-Ohio State Journal.

Alabama to Honor Gifted Son.
There is movement on foot in Mo-
bile to do honor to the memory of
Gen. John T. Morgan, United States
senator from Alabama, by naming a
new park there after the senator and,
eventually, by erecting a monument
to him within the park grounds. The
Mobile Register thinks well of the
idea, and says that mo appeal to the
state can arouse such widespread and
popular approval as project for a
Morgan monument, and 1t will be con-
ceded by the state that the place for
such monument is on the western
shore of Mobile Bay, where a suitable
column will almost cast it's shadow

adds that Senator Morgan properly

Bob Dean, Terror of Criminals,
to Be Evangelist.
Arkansas Sheriff ls Determined to
Supervise Execution Of Man Who
Killed Marshal Before He
Takes Up New Work.

St. Louis.-Bob Dean, known for
years as bad man" and a dead shot,
who has killed ten men in his time
and has himself been shot thirteen
times, who is acting now as deputy
sheriff of Mississippi county, Arkansas
will soon lay aside his guns, give up
his duties as officer of the law and 60
forth into Mississippi. his native
county, and preach the gospel OF
peace and good will to the rough men
who have known him hitherto only as
a man i'll to tritie with.
This change of life and front Bob
Dean decided on Sunday night. Decem.
ber II, at the close of three weeks
revival service conducted by Rev.
Chambers Mannering, who converted
Dean early in the meetings. 1t was
during the closing OF the services that
the deputy sheriff arose and said that
he intended to lay down his pistols
and take up the Bible.
There is only one reason for the
delay. He is not ready to assume his
role as preacher until he has closed
his career an an officer Of the law by
off ciattng at the hanging of Henry
Coates, now in Jail at Osceola, Ark,
waiting execution. Last April Coates
shot and killed Marshal r. l.. Fergus.
on Of this town, and so seriously
wounded Bob Dean himself that he
la.' in Memphis, Tenn, hospital for
three weeks, his life hanging by a
thread. BY special dispensation of
tae governor, at the request of Sheriff
c. B. Hall, the latter official will re-
li::qu1sh his duty as sheriff on that oc-
casion and allow Bob Dean to do the
hanging Of the man who wounded
hin.
SO soon as his "ancient enemy" is
hanged Dean will take up his ministra-
tions.
Coates was discovered a few miles
from Osceola in the act OF tying up
his Loaf and taking on a cargo OF
WHISKY. Upon the officers demand to
give pimself up Coates had the boat
push of and replied with volley OF
buckshot from his shotgun. Both Off,
GERS returned the fire, their shots
going wild. The second volley by
Coates, however, felled Dean. and an
cther instantly killed Ferguson, whose
body pitched headlong into the river.
Five days later the dead body OF
Ferguson was found Is miles down
the river, and on the following day
came the news from the Tennessee
side that Coates had been captured.
The declaration of Dean that he will
renounce his former life after spring
ing the gallows on which Coates will
hang has awakened much local curl
osity. and that there will be an i'm.
mense crowd present in Osceola when
the hanging comes of Is a certainty.

STOLE FOR MISTRESS
INTELLIGENT DOG HAD osJEc1
IN "LIFTlNG" GOOSE. 4
Therefore Hts Owner insisted That
He Was Not \ Thief, and Magls-
trate Was Forced to See
Thinas In the Same Iiaht.

A live goose and a Scotch terrier
occupied the attention of Magistrate
Dodd for longer time than any other
case on the calendar in the Manhat-
tan avenue police court, Williams
burg, the New York Sun says. The
goose was the property of Joseph Ru-
dolph, a roofer at 1919 Grand street,
and the dog, named Kusch. belonged
to William F. Donges, who lives at
913 Flushing avenue. Donges was
accused Of stealing the goose, and In
stoutly denying the allegation he
pulled out from under his coat the
dog, and setting him on the judicial
bench, said he was the thief.
Rudolph said that Donges was en-
ployed by him as driver, and Donges
brought home the terrier. The par
ticular goose that was stolen was
kept with others in the back yard.
and all were being fattened up for
the holidays. Rudolph said that the
dog ran about in the yard and finally
the cackltng of the geese drew his at.
tention, and he saw Donges' dog max
ing of with the fattest goose across
the open lots toward the Donges
home. Kusch had pulled his quarry
out OF hole in the fence and with
his teeth gripping one Of the goose's
legs made of with him.
THAT goose" added Rudolph, was
worth at least $1.75, and when told
Donges about it he laughed, and said
he couldn't help what the dog did,
He wouldn't pay me, so I told him
I would hold him responsible and got
a warrant"
When policeman went to Donges
house and arrested him, Donges took
along the dog, and both were locked
In the prisoners pen. A friend OF
Donges took along the goose, whose
right leg was somewhat disabled az
the result of being dragged over the
rough ground to the Donges home
AS Donges placed the dog on the
judicial bench he said:
"Your honor, my dog is very intelli
gent, (Kusch nodded approval with
a bow bow My wife is an invalid
and cannot afford to provide hel
with all the delicacies l should like

don't think it was right to arrest m,
for stealing when l am innocent"
After moments hesitation Magis
trate Dodd said:
Il can't send Donges to Jail because
he has committed no crime, and thu
dog can't be arrested, because there
Is nothing in the statutes applicable
to the case. The only way to settle
the matter is for Rudolph to take
back his goose and withdraw the com
plant"
Rudolph consented and Donges wa:
discharged. He took along his dof
