Forty Minutes After He Shot
StenOgrapher Meets

"Jack the Shooter was killed by
Sam Collins, also a negro, as Brown
was climbing into the window of Col
Inns home.
Little Rock has for six months been
terrorized by almost nightly hurglaries
and assaults upon women. The situa-

a mass-meeting was held and citizens

the streets. For time this seemed to
stop the crimes but recently attacks
were renewed.
In Browns pocket when killed was
found an automatic revolver with two
empty shells. He had fired twice at
Miss Sumner, and the bullets were of
the same calibre.

story rs to how he captured the veno-
nous reptiles. His home is at Black
Mountain, n. c., near the Carolina,
Clinchfield and Ohio Railway. He
said that one night recently when he
was about to retire, he turned the
cover down on the bed to discover two
rattlers coiled as if ready for fatal
"strike." He prepared loop on the
end of pole and lassoed both the rep
tiles. The snakes made desperate
effort to release themselves and sought
to sink their fangs into their captor.
but without success. From here
Haley went into Virginia with his

the fact that the state of Tennessee is

TEMPERANCE
QUESTION UP
- s+
The Keryon-Sanders Bill VIII
Be of Far Reaching
Effect.
WILL BE CONSTITUTIONAL
Much Interest Has Been Attract
ed BY the Introduction of the
Bill to Prevent Interstate Ship
ments of Liquor Into Dry
Territory-The Bill As Acted
Upon By Committee Follows.

Washington, ID. c., July 2s.-Thc
introduction OF bill in the United
States senate by Senator Newell Sand
ers prohibiting interstate shipments
of liquors, and his activities IN its be-
half during the past two weeks, has az
last brought about action by the SEN
ate Judiciary committee on proposed
temperance legislation and what is
now known as the Kenyon-Sanders
bill is to be reported 10 the senate in
the next few days. AS stated, ii has
heen adopted by the senate COMMITTEES,
which is taken as every indication
that il will pass the senate at this ses-
sion. The fact that the Jones' Works
bill, regulating the liquor business in
the District of Columbia, passed the
senate recently by decisive vote, and
Is now pending in the hou e, is re-
garded as signifying that the Kenyon
Sanders liquor bill willpass easily.
Senator Sanders is highly gratified
over the action that has been taken
by the senate judiciary committee and
is now working hard to bring about
this legislation. Senator Sanders has
canvased the senate and feels that
there is every reason to believe that
the kenyon-Sanders bill will psss.
If it does not pass this session it re-
mains on the calender for action at the
next regular session beginning in
December.
The bill provides in short that ship
ments of liquors into "dry" territory
shall be prohibited, that upon reaching
one state from another that liquors
shall be subject to the laws of the
laws of the state into which it Is ship
ped. The bill is as follows as acted
upon favorably by the committees
Favorable by the committee

Vigorous Campaign of the
Last Several Weeks Has
Come to End.
MAGISTRATES MADE FIGHT
Absorbed Most of the Interest in
the Cooke County Campaign,
Although the Three Cornered
Race for Sheriff is Bound to
Make Some Noise Thursday
Preston Will Do Well Here.

The most stenuous campaign Cooke
county has had since the magistrates
race six years ago, has come TO a close.
This is not the only county where there
is obsorbing interest as it is shown
that there are 220o magistrates to be
elected in the various parts of the
state and that in almost every instance
the competition will be keen. There
are fifty-two candidates for magistr-
ate in this county and but twenty can
be elected. In the first district there
are four candidates for magistrate: in
the second district are four candidates;
in the third district there are ten can
didates; in the fourth district there are
eight candidates; in the fifth district
there are four candidates; in the sixth
district there are eight candidates; in
the seventh district there are only
three in the race; in the eighth dis
trict there are five candidates and in
the ninth there are six. In all but
the sixth district only two magistrates
can be elected and in the sixth four
will be named, which includes the
corporation race.
The magistrates race overshadows
everything else, but the three corner
ed scrap between Sheriff Dawson, Bob
Dennis and Thornton Lloyd is still
some race, and while Sheriff Dawson
claims that he will be easily re-elect-
ed, it remains 10 be seen, and bis OPP
ponents, both claim that they will be
in the running. depending almost en-
tirely upon silentvote There are sever
al interesting contests for places on the
Board of Education ana numerous
constables are TO be elected, all of
which means that the ballot is long
one and that the officials will be some-
what late in getting in the returns.
The Democratic primary has not at
tracted very much attention here in
asmuch the two leading candidates
did not speak here. The only political
speech was the effort of Walter Faulk-
ner, and it came SO early in the game
! that it made little impression and
those who were considered to be for
him, have in the main switched to
either McMillin or Preston.

Bryan will call upon Roosevelt to ex-

the White House, ,he failed to deal with
the question of the downward revision
of the tariff. And he will demand that
he explain the Tennessee Coal and Iron

board Of education having adjourned

rest of the assignments will be made:
1t develops in the making of assign
ments this year that there is likli-
hood of there being no school at Good
Hope this year, which will mean that
about 70 students will have TO travel
on an average of three miles to reach
a school building. At Good Hope,
the building which has been in use for
several years was built on private land
ard the owner of same has rented ii to
negro family who now occupy it,
and as there was no arrangement on
the part of the school authorities to
retain same, the Good Hope people
are in bad for a school this wear. The

Morri. Rath, Second sa.em.n Of White sox.

The new crop of ball players in the
major leagues. including those who
broke in this year or the latter part
OF last year, is making a pretty re-
spectacle showing In fast company.
and there is goodly crop OF those
who are likely to be fixtures. II not
already that. Scouts and managers
deplore the great lack of timber In
the bushes. and with some of these
newcomers 1t may be case Of taking
them or nothing. Yet the proportion
of those who are sticking and making
their presence felt is fairly large.
Among this number prominent
one is Dubic, the Detroit pitcher, al
though he had been In the big leagues
before and is no tender bud In base
ball society. Another comeback who
drifted back to the minors between
sojourns in fast company Is George
Mcconnell. Likewise Hess. Among
the newer crop Of pitchers dug up
this year or late last year are Bas-
kettle. steen. Benz. Hamilton. Allison.

got a bit OF our coin. When we reach
ed the end of our rope. Teddy McCor-
mick came to me with q story that
he got from y butler in Banker Ro-
chQt's home. They met in Bill Muir
rays gambling house on Broadway.
and Teddy staked the butler who had
lost his money in the game. The In
formation that Teddy got was that Ro-
chot carried a big bank roll in a safe
In his house. which was in 65th street.
near Madison avenue.
Il thought maybe It was ghost
story put UP by the butler to give Ted
dy an idea that he was secure in his
loan. But 1t was worth investigation.
and ! went to look the ground over
with Reddy Ward and Bill Hendrick.
THE house was 4 dead easy one to
beat, and l saw from the outside that
the safe was there. / learned that
Rochot was a very hoavy dealer In for
eign securities. There was also a bit
OF . scandal connected with his meth
DDS of doing business, which gave a
color to the story told by the butler
1 decided to work the game and fixed
upon a Saturday night for the trick.
I'VE entered the house through the
bathroom and reached the office,
which was in the rear of the parlor, on
the first floor. In the gang was Ted
dy Mccormick. Reddy Mack, Bill Hend-
rick, Abe Moses and Billy Reilly.
Mack and Reilly were to do the safe
work, Moses was left outside and Nc
Cormick. Hendrick and myself were
down to make a tour through the
house to pick up anything that was
lying around loose. 1t would not do to
blow the safe, SO the drag was used
to force out the back of the strong
box. This took about two hours.
I'VE got the stun together. and start
ed to leave the house.
Suddenly. without the slightest
warning we were met by shower Of
lead. Everybody jumped for himself.
When we lined up on the outside
Reilly was missing. l concluded that
he had been shot. We hauled a big
Doodle. but a million would not pay
for the loss Of Reilly"
