]. G. Allen Becomes Sole
Owner. .OftheSusong Dutch
Bottom Farm.
FIGURES NOT MADE PUBLIC
It is Rumored, However, That the
Purchaser Paid Something Like
$55,0O0 for a Two-thirds' In
terest in the Place, the Figure
Named Taking In all Stock and
Crops on Farm at Time of Sale.

AS the result of the dissolution oi
joint ownership in the Dutch Bottom
Susong farm, the biggest real estate
transaction which has taken place in
Cooke county in several years was
consumated. [, is repuled that J. G.
Allen who purchased the two-thirds
interest held by j. d. Jcnes in the
farm, gave sum estimated to be about
500 900 for same.
The sale was an amusing one. Mr..
Allen had owned one-third interest
in the farm for several years, while
Mr.. Jones held a two.third interest,
and was in charge of the farm. A year
ago Mr.. Jones and Mr.. Allen sold out
their joint holdings in several of the
Newport buildings and it had been
suggested that the Dutch Bottom farm
be devided up into three parts and a
survey was made for this purpose, but
they could not agree on this, so Fri
day the two gentlemen met and decid-
ed to auction off the place, the high
est bidder 10 take the share of the
other. Not believing in paying COM
mission to an auctioneer, they simply
auctioned it themselves, first one bid
ding and then the other, until finally
figure was reached which was salts
faceory TO Mr.. Jones and Mr.. Allen
became the sole owner OF one of the
finest farms in East Tennessee, and he
took with it all of the stock, crops and
fixtures now on it.
The Dutch Bottom farm as it is
known, consists of 1909 acres and it is
thirteen miles around it, 1t contains
over 400 acres of fine bottom land as
can be found. There are numerous
barns on it and the house, big brick,
sits upon hillside and overiooks a
stretch of a mile of bottom land which
extends TO the French bottom river.
A lane mile in length.leads from the
house to the river to what is known
as the Harrison ferry, and acrose the
river Mr.. Allen owns another fine farm
of several hundred acres, the two be-
ing connected by ferry, and it can be
stated that he practically has two
thousand acres of fine land in one
farrn.

WON'T LISTEN TO TRADE
If the Regulars Give Him an Op-
portunity, Not Only Will He
Call an Extra Session of the
Legislature, But He Will Include
in 1t all of the Measures Not
Wanted By the Regulars.

Gov, Ben W. Hooper passed through
Knoxville Thursday morning, aboard
the Memphis Special enroute to New
York, where he went to sigin his
name something over eleven thousand
times before the first day of July rolls
around, in order that Tennessee's
credit may be maintained, interests
met and bonds cared for by means oi
short time loans.
The train was twenty minutes late
when 1T reached Knoxville and the
governor barely had time to carefully
read the statement given out at a late
hour Wednesday night by the steer.
ing committee OIL the regulars, in
which they made the assertion that
they would continue their hold-over
session indefinitely.
When the governor was seen for an
answer to the statement he made the as
sertion that hewould prepare an answer
while enroute to Bristol. He believes
one purpose Of the regulars is to prevent
him from calling an extra session, be-
they fear that he will put into the call
for said session law endorsements legis-
lation. In his statement he once and
for all answers that fear with the as
sertion that he will most assuredly
put into his call if given the oppor-
tunity to issue one, the law enforce.

Tennessee is firing of being bossed. by
the lawless liquor element of the state.
Gov. Hooper's statement in full is as
follows:
STATEMENT BY THE GOVERNOR.

the proclamation issued by Senators
Baxter and MeAlister and Representa-
tives Cox and Stanton, in which they
announce the intention OF the regulars
to prolong Indefinitely the hold-over

gust of long suffering public, and
the harrassment of the institutions OF
the state.

With Pistol Beside Him at

BROUGHT TO NEWPORT

the Home Of His Late Grand
father, John AIIen-The Deceas-
Was Highly Esteemed in Chat
nooga, and No Cause Could Be
Assigned for Taking Own Life.

Oscar III. Allen, son of w. G. Allen
of Oxford, N. C., and a grandson of
the late "Potterhead" John Allen Of
Cosby, was killed at Chattanooga tho
first of last week, his remains being
brought to Newport Friday, and en-
tered on Cosby, Saturday afternoon.
The deceased was nephew of Mrs.
viii Clevenger of near Newport and
he had host of relatives scattered
about Cooke county. The manner IN
which he met his death is shrouded in
mystery. He was found in his room,
at the keystone Building Chattanooga,
with bullet hole in his left breast, ard
bloody revolver lying beside him.
His friends say that the question of
suicide was foreign to mis- nature ard
they presume that he must have been
killed by accident while trying to
break bis revolver, which was new
tangled gun.
The following report of the accident
is taken from the Chattanooga News:
Oscar III. Allen. member ofth firm
of Allen brothers, dealers in wall paper
at llG3 Market street, who was found
in his room at IL keystone building,

friends, in an unc0ncious condition IS

breast-supposed 10 have been inflicted
by his own hand, died at Erlanger
hospital shortly after 8 o'clock, whith-
er he was removed by Sharp's ambu-
lance soon after the sad tragedy occur-
ed. Despite the fact that every posi-
BILE assistance was given him from
physicians atthe hospital and by Dr..
+. b. Wise at his room, shortly after
lie was found:he never regained con-
ciousness and the true facts concerning
his death will probably never be
known.
On every side expressions of sorrow
at the death of Allen were heard and a
number of men who came in daily con-
tact with him declared that he was a
maa Of splendid character, honest and
square in his business dealings ard
that they have never seen him in an
intoxicated condition. SanLStark the
janitor at the keystone building, and
one Of the first 10 reach Aliens room
after the shot which caused his death
was fired, said TO reporter that he
passed the dead mans room Monday
afternoon about o'clock and heard
singing inside. Going to the door,
which was standing open, he saw Os-
car Allen, his brother Horace and an
other man whom he did not know
sitting inside singing and from all APP
pearances evidently in the best Of
spirits, and especially did he notice
the cheerful condition of Oscar Allen.

Norway has been unkind in her
criticism of America. But she has
had reason to feel bitter. Her atti-
tude has not been the wisest, and ye'
il is humanely justitiable. Norway's
loss which has been Americas gain
has been tremendous. Think of it.
Norway has a population of ittls
over two million. According to the
census of 1910 there are 4O3,5 800 in the
United States who were born in Nor
way! For every five persons in Nor
way there is one born in Norway who
lives in the United States. How would
America fare if there should be one
of her children in a foreign land for
every five at home? Such conditions
would be provoking to any country.
Italy is waking up to the situation
that such bleeding is fatal TO a land.
