THREE SUSPECTS ARE HELD
BELIEVED TO KNOW SOMETHING
OF BURNING OF MRS. JOHNSON.
Fourth Negro Who Is Thought to Be
Real PerpetratOr of the Crime
Is Still at Large.

Fourth Negro Who Is Thought to Be
Real Perpetrator of the Crime
Is Still at Large.
Three negroes who are believed to
know something of the robbery and
burning to death in her home at
midnight one week ago of Mrs. Lou
Johnson are in jail. They are Tom
Stewart, George Adams and Charley
Barney. All three of the arrests were
made Sunday afternoon at PARROT.
Suspicion of the prisoners was first
aroused by the unusual amount of
money George Adams and his half
brother, Arthur Williams, who is
yet at large, were spending at the
stores in Parrot Saturday, the lat
ter bought for himself nice suit of
clothes, a Stetson hat and a pair of
shoes and dress for his wife. 1t
developed that the money Adams
was spending also came from Will
liams, being $40 that was won from
him in a skin game.
Another discriminating circum-
stane against Williams, who is be-
lieved to be the real perpetrator of
the crime, is that just after the
tragic fate of Mrs. Johnson he gave
a negro woman who lived in the COM
munity $3.50 to keep for him, and
Saturday called for it's return and
it was counted out to him by the wo-
man in the presence of Evelyn
Bridges, a son of Dock Bridges.
Williams, who lived on the farm of
Mr.. J. P. Davis, not far from Mrs.
Johnsons little home, disappeared
after obtaining his money from the
woman and has not been seen since.
The three negroes who are in jail
are not believed to have had any part
in the crime, but it is thought that
they know something about it and
are being held to be used as wit
nesses against Williams should he be
captured.

BOOZE SENT OUT OF DAWSON
OFFICER SKIES RODE WITH 1T
BEYOND CONFINES OF CITY.
And Delivered to Negro Drayman
From Whom 1t Was Captured by
Police Some Weeks Ago.

An order has been received
from Judge Worrill refusing a GER
tiorari in the case of Romy Clark
who sought to appeal from the may
or's court tC the superior court. Clark
is the negro drayman, it will be re-
membered, who was taken in custody
by the police one night several weeks
ago while hauling four barrels of
whiskey through the streets for a
party who he claimed was unknown
to him. The whiskey was confiscated
by the city, and the drayman fined
$50 in the mayors court.
The refusal of Judge Worrill, how
ever, to grant certiorari will have
no effect on the case, as it had been
compromised with the city several
days before by the payment Of $25
and costs by the defendant.
After the compromise was effected
and the case settled the liquor, which
was in the custody of City Clerk Bell,
was returned to the drayman, but
not until it had been taken beyond
the corporate limits. The booze was
placed on a dray and Officer Skies
deputized to see that it did not stop
anywhere inside of Dawson. Stand
ing beside the barrels the officer rode
with the whiskey across the boundary
line of the city and there delivered it
to Clark. What then became of it
no one knows, but it is more than
likely that the unknown party has
established his identity and taken
charge of the tiger juice.

NOT GREAT IN ALL WAYS
Iron Chancellor Had His Weaknesses
Like the Rest Of Poor
Humanity.

Nv recollection of Bismarck, how
ever, when used to see a good deal
of him at Frankfort before he was
great is that he was a very gross
feeder; indeed, l once saw him de-
YOUR fish that smelt so high that it
almost made every one else in the
room sick. And then his hands were
always filthy, and he used to paddle
them in his plate in a most unpleas-
ant manner. Except for these pc
culiarities he was a very agreeable
man. talking, it is true, thirteen to
the dozen. but with sort Of clever,
reckless, daredevil air.
As a statesman l suspect his repu-
tstion is exaggerated. He is an
sristocratic Danton; de Paudace has
proved a winning card for him, and
his successes have been three parts
luck and one part skill. His weak
point seems TO be that he cannot ex-
list without nourishing rabid hatred
against somebody or something,
which warps his judgment. First it
was the Liberals, then the French,
then the Ultramontanes, and now 1t
seems TO be the Socialists.
OF all the Bismarckian remarks
chronicled by Busch the most useful
is that roasted oysters sprinkled over
before roasting with bread crumbs
and Parmesan cheese are excellent.
Try them, my friends, and be thank
full to the German chancellor. But
the large American oyster should be
selected, as natives" are too small.

they can dig up in the way of
