scribed.
The pike was four miles long and
people along the road subscribed
about $500 of the cost. The Fiscal
Court let the contract to B k S
Campbell, COL, and the petition al
leges that it was not built according
to contract and that the road should
be made better or the money of sub
scribers refunded.
Among the large number of plain
tiffs are E. r Tandy, c. E. Barker
J. A. Mckenzie, w. M. Carneal, P

Oklahoma City, Okla, Feb. 13.-|
Mrs. Minnie E Bond to d jury here
yesterday of indignities which, she
declared, she suffered at the hands
of United States Senator Thomas P
Gore, of Oklahoma, and described in
de ail-an attack which she alleged
occurred at Washington hotel
March "a last, the basis for the suit
on trial in which Mrs. Bond asks S25,-
900 in damages. Three other wit
nesses, DIR. ]. carp, Kirby Fitzpat-
rick and T E Robertson, also testi-
fled today in corroboration of Mrs.
Bond Mrs. Bonds husband and the
three witnesses named were all in
Washington seeking Offices and were
not endorsed by Senator Gore.
Mrs. Bond testified that she sought
an appointment with Senator Gore in
her husbands interest and because
''of the men about his Office" she
asked him to come to her hotel and
she met him in Jacobs room and she
said he caught hold of her, threw
her across a bed and broke her eye
glasses. AS the door was not fasten.
ed. the other witnesses appeared at Jan
opportune moment. Cores defense
will be that the woman arranged the
meeting had her co-conspirators at
hand, and the tussel was a frame-up
in which she seized the blind Sena-
tor and deliberately p AIMED to COM
promise him.
Mrs. Gore sat by herhusband's side.
Mrs. Bond stated that she had pre-
viously several times met the Sena-
tor at his office in the interest Of her
husband, and charged that once he
seized her and at another time
caught her by the foot.

Sued For By Descendants Of
A. C. MCCamey, Number
ing Sixty-Seven.
LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN CLAIMED
Former Citizen Of HOpkinSville
Descendant of Original
Owner.

The greater part of the land on
which Lookout Mountain, Tenn, is
situated has been claimed by sixty
seven heirs of A. c. McCamey, who
died many years ago. The heirs, who
are suing, expect to establish the fact
that A. C. McCamey bought, at a
nominal price, from James A. White
sides, in 1874, several hundred acres
of land on the brow of Lookout
Mountain and the land on which the
town is situated is part of the pur-
chase. Mr.. McCamey lived but a
few years after the purchase and his
heirs have filled suit in the Chancery
Court and have employed half-a-doz-
en- able attorneys to conduct the liti-
cation on their part.
M. H. F. McCamey, an uncle of
Chief of Police Roper and Rhoden
Roper, of this city, is descendant of
A. c. McCamey, but is not number
ed among the sixty-seven heirs NAM
ed in the petition filed in chancery
Mr.. McCamey moved from this
city to Princeton about Is years ago
He is now 10 his 83d year and enjoy
ing splendid health. Though identi
fed with the interests of Princeton
| he is still loyal to Hopkinsville ant
watches with keen interest the rap
id growth and prosperity of the towr
which he served without compensa
ton as member of the council and
in many other ways.
About 1880 the establishment OF
free schools for white children was
brought before the people. When
the privilege of voting on the ques-
ton was secured the hardest fought
battle that Hopkinsville has ever eX-
prienced was begun. The large prop
erty owners opposed the establish
ment of the schools and the poorer
class favored them. Both sides were
determined and one of the two
newspapers lined up with the heavy
taxpayers. Henry Blumenstiel, now
an invalid, and Mr.. McCamey were
among the leaders for the schools and
to them, and a few others now liv-
ing, is due the credit of fighting ev-
cry inch of ground to the closing of
the polls for giving to Hopkinsville
the nucleus of our present public
schools system, of which every citi-
zen is proud. and which has done
more to make Hopkinsville city of
the third class than all other contrib
uting causes combined.

SLUSHY STREETS.
Snow and Rain Mingle Into
Ice Cold SlOp.

A snow three or four inches in
depth covered the ground Thursday
evening and yesterday morning the
precipitation gradually turned into a
rain that made the streets exceed
ingly dissgreeable for pedestrians.
Only few people observed the snow
ordinance before it began to rain
and nearly all of the sidewalks were
covered all day with two inches of
slush. Indications last night were
that it would soon be melted off.

His Friends In The County Will
Make Affidavit As To
His Character.
MANY BELIEVE HIM INNOCENT
Young North Christian Man Is
Fighting For Freedom
In The West.

Interest in the case of Silas Butler
has been aroused among his friends
and relatives by the receipt of
letter from him or his attorney at
Woodward, Okla.
1t will be remembered that young
Butler was arrested here and placed
in Jail January 26 last. The arrest
was made by Sheriff Smith upon re-
ceiving> telegram or letter from
Sheriff Lou Thomasson, of Wood
ward. Okla, and the charge was
murder.
The murder was committed in the
insane asylum at Woodward and an
old insane capitalist was the victim.
On Thursday following Buffers ar
rest Sheriff Thomasson arrived and
Butler accompanied him without the
formality of securing a requisition,
saying that he was innocent and
would easily prove it.
Three other men were arrested on
the same charge and after an exam
lining trial were released, Another
man was said to have been implicated
in the murder, but skipped to Texas
and at last accounts had not beer
arrested.
When Butler was arraigned fol
trial and after all evidence had beer
heard, he was committed to bail
Information since received here was
to the effect that the insane capital
list was not murdered but died from
some organic trouble. After hear
ing this the relatives and friends of
Butler thought that the unfortunate
incident in the life of the young man
had finally closed. But not so. Sher-
if Smith who has known Butler from
childhood, is heading a lists of friends
who will make affidavit as to the
good character of Butler and send it
to Woodward to be used in the furth-
er defense of the young man.

Mrs. Bond must have had an ex-
citing time playing blind mans buff
with Senator Gore. in another mans
room, in a public hotel. in the day
time, with the door unlocked. And
at raust be remembered that the Sen
ator was totally blind, while Mrs.
Bond was not only wide awake but
wore glasses to improve her vision.
To see the least, she must have been
a poor dodger.
