A Hendersonville dispatch to the

u. S. Commissioner, G. H. Valentine
of four prominent merchants of
that city: A. H. Hawkins. M. M.
Shepheard, F. E. Upton and A. G..
Morris, charged with an alleged
violation of the United States law
forbidding the mailing of matter in
which prizes are offered subject to
games of chance or drawings.
1t seems that the game was to
give a ticket containing a number
with every purchase or payment on
accounts and the merchants re-
tanned a duplicate ticket, it being
the intentiol of the manipulators
to draw from the So the winner OF
the prize.

The case of R. 8. Owenby and

which was continued from January
18th to the 10th, was taken up
Monday morning before Squire D.
W. Deweese for a further hearing.
1t will be remembered that this case
was continued until that time,
pending the condition of the Italian
the Owenby's each giving a $1,000
bond. Witherspoon and Wither-
spoon and J. H. Mccall represented
the Owenbys at the hearing, and
they relied upon the States witness
es to make out their case. After
hearing all the evidence, that could
be secured, Squire Deweese decided
that the father and son were justi-
fled in doing what they did and
ordered the defendants turned loose.
The evidence showed that the Italian
had written letters threatening the
life of Mr.. Owenby and his daughter;
that he also made threats here and
along the road on his way to Owen
by's house; it was further shown
that Mr.. Owenby had used every
effort possible to keep the Italian
away from his house and off his
premises; that he paid no attention
to warnings given him along the
road. Quite a crowd was in the
court house and heard the trial 1t

The distressing circumstances
attending the death of the five year
old motherless son of Mr.. John R.
Owen, of Pine Mountain, Ca, has
attracted widespread attention.
AS many mistaken and some
cruel rumors have been circulated
concerning the case, we, the near
and lifelong neighbors of Mr.. Owen.
have thought best to send you this
statement, that the friends and rel
atlves may know the facts.
The child was lost on December
24th, 1912, when he went about 200
yards from his home just outside of
the cultivated field with brother
of six years and an uncle of eight,
to play and drive up the COWS late
in the afternoon.
About 4:3O, p. M, the two older
children came with the COWS and
went back to play. About 5 p. m.
they were called to supper, and the
family now saw that little Leroy
was not with them. The older
children on being questioned said
that when.they were bringing the
COWS, Leroy would not cross the
branch outside the field, that he
wanted them to put log for him SO
that he would not wet his feet.
They told him to 90 to another
place where he could cross on log
and that he refused, saying with
childish petulence that he was 60

who lives about mile

had twice tried to run away to Mrs
Davis and knew the way. AS soon
as the older children had told thei,

ship.

At a meeting of the Regular
Democratic members of the Les
islature, held in the Maxwell
House in Nashville, on Wednes-
day night of last week, ex.Gov-
ernor Malcolm X. Patterson
stepped down aud out of the
race for the United States sena-
torship, surrendering his nomi-
nation in the November, 1912,
primary. A gcodly portion of
the ex.Governor's time has been
consumed in securing and relln-
gushing ncminations-and it is
to be hoped that this will be the
last Of him in Tennessee politics.
In this particular race he was no
more bitterly opposed than by
the Shelby county delegation in
the General Assembly,. with .no
inconsiderable number of 9th II
Regulars who thought that he
ought to get out of the game,
Patterson had a wonderful
chance to be truly great mar
in tie nation as well as The
state, but took his own politica
life by pardoning old Dune
Cooper, the assassin of Senator
Carmack. No man, in the pub
lie life of any state ever made
