COUNTERFITINC
WITHIN THE PEN
Warden Rimmer Finds That a
Shrewd Convict Had Been
Making Spurors Coins.

Nashville, Sept. 24.-Warden
Rimmer made the astounding dis
covery Saturday that a complete
counterfeiting den has been in
operation within the state prison
walls for several weeks, when a
search of the cell of Sam Hover
ton, white convit serving a life
sentence for murder, revealed a
set of tools and plaster of paris
molds for the manufacture of
spurious coins. Babbit metal
had been used as-the substitute
for the precious metals. Nickels,
dimes, quarters and half dollars
were the denomination manu-
factured in Howerton's cell.
Another convict led to the dis
covered of Howerton'S coulter
feating scheme. This man. Pete
Bronnon, has been allowed to
sell bananas and similar luxuries
to the prisoners after working
hours, and had received several
pieces of spurious money. He
has been very careful of late, and
when Howerton offered him. a
babbit metal quarter in payment
for 5 cents worth of bananas
Friday he made the trade and
gave back 20 cent in change, He
took the bad quarter to Warden
Rimmer at once, and the search of
Howerton's cell followed. The
counterfeiter had evidently scent
ed trouble, and had partially de-
stroyed his molds before the
prison officials made their search.
The tools and broken molds were
found beneath his bunk.
Warden Rimmer suspects that
other prisoners were invoeved in
the counterfeiting scheme, and
will make a thorough investiga-
ton Of the affair.
Inarmuch as Howerton iSa 'lifer"
he cannot be given any further
punishment, except the regular
prison form of correction for the
violation of rules.

SAUTELLE'S SHOWS
Are COMING HERE
Will Show on the Fair Grounds,
Saturday, October
Fourth.

The big Sautelle's shows, COM
bined with meneagerie and hippo
drome, which will give exhibits
here in Newport Saturday, Octo-
ber 4th, Fair Grounds, has four
distin ctive and important depart
ments-circus, menageri, ehippo-
drome and wild west. Descrip-
tons of these will be given in
their places. Chiefest Of these
perhaps, is the circus. Back to
Nero's day the circus dates. That
finnicky-strenuous monarch orr
ginated feats in "the ring" as well
as sports of the arena which
were first cousins to the former.
He it was that inducte dbareback
riding-though it is probable that
they used pads in those days
He certainly was the father Of
chariot racing. These, he enhan-
ed in interest by utilizing Christ
ians as human torches, at times.
With the Sig, Sautelle 9-Big-
Shows are several of the most
skilled, graceful and daring bare
back riders of or any age. Chief
est is Oscar Lowande. This intre-
pid artist is the very Centaur of
riders. His astounding feats on
bridleless horse, are the acme of
daring and recklessness. Also the
poetry of graceful motion.
His somersaulting from the back
of one to the back of a horse in
the rear, stands alone as the
star horse feature of the century.
The act is a rare combination of
daring, skill and agility. Also,
calculation. The missing of a single
inch in such evolution would mean
death, manning. One scarcely
wonders why the Announcer de-
mands perfect quiet under canvas
while this great feat is being per-
formed.

ner in which the case was hand
led for them by Former Attorney
General James R. Penland, who
went in behind the testimony of
witnesses who talked of confess
Isions made by the boys, and a
complete alibi was proven in
practically each case.
On the night of March 9Th, the
post office at Del Rio was entered,
the safe blown through the floor
and the building practically wreck
ed. The explosion was heard by
Frank Stokely who gathered up
some neighbors and went on a
tour of inspection. Some of those
who had responded to his call did
not care about getting any too
close TO the building, and as a re-
suit the robbers escaped.
Detective Ben Barnes worked
up the case, and he found wit
ness, Chas. Nash by name, who
before the Commissioner swore
that Ellie Tucker had made con-
fession to him; that Elzie had ask
ed him to give him his hand that
he would not tell, and that he had
told him how the robbery was
committed. Nash at the time out
lined the supposed confession and
told the same story to the court at
Greeueville, but was unable to
convince the jury.

MATHEWSON SENDS
AUTOGRAPH HERE

Last April when the Giants were
playing in Knoxville, Eugene Rob-
inson of Newport snapped the
famous pitcher in action and sent
a photo to Christy some time af-
terwards. AS a result of this
Christy came across the photo on
ly recently and he wrote on the
back of it with best wishes to
Eugene Robinson from Christy
Mathewson" and on the face of it
he wrote his own name "Christy
Masthewson." The picture is
much priced by Gene, and it goes
without saying that Gene will be
pulling strong for Christy in the
next worlds series.

NUISANCE Bill
PASSES SENATE
Fusion Forces Are Greatly
Elated Over That
Fact.
uhn A RTTTER EIGHT
HAD A BITTER FIGHT
Senator Maxwell Was Wavering
and With Difficulty Was Held
in Line-Bill Gives Ten Citizens
the Right to Close up a Saloon,
and to Proceed Against Pro-
perty Owners.

The fusion forces were greatly
elated last Saturday through the
passage of the Nuisance Bill''
which gives ten citizens the right
to file suit against any place where
liqnor is sold. The bill was pass
ed through the senate only after
the most bitter of fights, Senator
Maxwell being on the fence and it
being difficult to hold him in line.
However, he stuck to the opposi-
ton on the other law enforcement
measure sand helped defeat the bills
which would have given the gov
ernor the right to remove city Of
ficials and to Interchange judges.
The nuisance" bill provides
that the sale ofintoxicating liquors
in violation of the laws becomes a
nuisance, and then ten citizens
may file a bill in the criminal, cir
cult or chancery courts to have
nuisance abated. Suit of this
kind may be filed not only against
the person operating the business,
but also against the owner of the
building in which the business is
carried on. An INDUCTION restrain
ing the man operating the busi-
ness from continuing the "nuis-
ance" may also be secured, while
the owner Of the building may al
so be enjoined from renting his
building for such a business,
The suit is a civil procedure. Be-
fore amended, the bill provided

HAS VERY LUCKY ESCAPE
Young Onks Held Gun so Close
to his Body That it Made Pow
der Burn on His Shirt and
This Accounts For His Life
Being Saved-Onks Held For
Grand Jury.

Roy Onks, the young man who
shot John Burnett at Bristol last
week was given a prelinary hear
ing in Bristol Saturday and was
held for action of the grand jury
under a bond of $500.
The young man was particular
ly lucky that he was able to es-
cape so lightly for it was no fault
of his own that he was not held
for murder, for he had not held the
muzzle of his revolver against
Burnett's body, the bullet most
likely would have Travelled to a
fatal part, whereas it hit rib and
glanced off causing nothing more
than flesh wound. AT the time,
though, it knocked Burnett down
and he lay on the ground appar-
emily so badly wounded that it
was not thought. that he had a
chance to live.
The news received in Newport
indicated that he had sustained a
fatal injury, but the Newport pa
perS were hardly in circulation be-
fore Burnett himself showed up,
apparently very little the worse
for wear.
