sUCCUMBS TO WOUNDS
IN NASHVILLE HOSPITAL
Surgeons Refuse to Operate on
Allison M. Tyler.

Hickman, Ky.-Allison NJ. Tyler,
who was shot last Thursday night at Z
o'clock by Bud Langiord in Cowgill's
drug store, died Friday afternoon at
2:15 O'Clock at hospital in Nashville.
Thursday night, after rallying from the
shock, his pulse got SO much stronger
that the doctors decided to take him to
Nashville for an operation, this being
the only chance to save hime. Accord
ingly he was started at 1920 Thursday
night, three hours after he was shot,
but when he arrived at Nashville Fri
day morning thesurgeons at the hospital
would not operate, saying nothing could
save Mr.. Tyler, and by 10 O'Clock FRI
day morning he was sinking.
Upon removing his clothing wound
hitherto unknown was found 1t was
about the worst OF all. The physicians
explain they had not found this wound
before owing to the fact that they were
afraid to turn him over until they
reached the hospital, lest he would bleed
to death. In this last wound the shot
had gone entirely through the body,
from side to side. The bullet penetrated
both lungs and came out the side, maxi
ing four times he was shot.
The remains we're taken back to Hick-
man for interment.
Mr.. Tyler was member Of the law
firm Of Tyler & Amberg here. The
entire community was shocked by the
tragedy
Langford, who was also shot several
times, is getting along nicely, his
wounds proving to be not nearly SO
serious as at first thought. Just few
minutes after reaching his boarding
house, after shooting Tyler and seeing
him fall, he was arrested by Sheriff
Bailey HuddIeston on charge Of muir
der.
Tyler, in dying statement, made
one hour after being shot, states that
Langford shot twice before be fired
his pistol. Tyler was 81 years old and
one OF the most prominent figures in
Western Kentucky.

WILSON FREES DOVE.
Little tennessee Girl Sends Box 70
President.

Pass Christian, Miss, Jan. 8.-Psesi-
dent Woodrow Wilson stood on the
veranda Of hiscottage at sunset tonight
and, acting on the request OF a little
brown-haired school girl, released a
white dove whose broken wing she had
nursed back to strength. The bird Hut
tered for moment, then paused on q
heavy-limbed oak, as If preparing for a
long flight, and soon was lost in the eve
ming shadows.
The incident was sequel to the Presi-
dents motor ride to-day through Gulf
port. School children lined both sides
Of the main street singing America, "
and people came focking from stores
and shops as the Presidents car slowed
down. A pretty. dark-haired girl Of u
handed the nations chief executive a
box and letter which she asked him
not to open until he reached home.
When the President arrived be read the
following;
Dear Mr.. President: You will find in
this box a real live dove. It flew in the
door and broke its wing several months
ago. We have cared for it, and now it
is wei, my mamma says we must give il
freedom. II you will do me the honor
to open its prison and let it fly away to
find companions OF its kind / shall be
ever grateful. Loving,
"W.G.
'P. S.--Just little Tennessee girl
enjoying the beautiful Southland. /"
The President asked Representative
Harrison, who was riding with him, to
find out the little girls name, as he
wanted to write that he had compliedwith
her wish. After diligent inquiry among
the school children the Congressman
learned that the donor Of the dove was
Miss Willo Green. She had modestly
signed her initials, because, as she after
wards said, she didn't want anybody
to know anything about it.
Mr.. Wilson found the outdoor air so
inviting that he did not work all the
afternoon, as has been his custom, but
took short automobile ride. The
weather was like summers day, with
the sun hot enough to make heavy
clothing somewhat uncomfortable.

Answering many inquiries in regard to
my intention to stand as candidate for

August election, 1914, beg leave to an
nounce such to be my purpose,
