two lions trotted by him through
the field at a distance of about
forty yards and enrered woods
nearby. Gregory is positive that
they were lions that he saw.
People on Dry Fork who have
seen them say that one of the
lions had a small chain attached
to one foot. A wagon circus that
had two lions passed through

NO SALE AT THE LOOSE
LEAF HOUSE THIS WEEK

Owing to the fact that the
farmers are busily engaged in
working their present crop. there
will be no sale held by the Upper
Cumberland Loose Leaf Ware
house this week. There is at
present enough tobacco on the
floor for a fairly good sale but the
management of the Warehouse
state that they find it better for
the farmers to have fulI-fioor
sales. THERETO the sale has been
discontinued until next week at
which time the house has as
surance of a large amount of
tobacco and a good market.
There remains a large amount
OF tobacco in the county to come
to this market and the farmers
are urged to see that their tobac-
co is properly cased before de-
livering as it will add materially
to its worth. High cased tobac-
co sells 11zc to &c lower than the
same tobacco in proper condi-
ton.
In discussing the progress of
the local loose leaf tobacco ware
house. w. B. Ford. one of the
chief promoters. had the follow
ing to say:
I'VE want to take this occa-
sion to thank the farmers for
their liberal patronage which has
exceeded our expectations and
assure them our efforts will be
to make this the best market in
the "one sucker" district. We
have the assurance of a good
number of buyers next year and
we will take the time between
now and next season, which will
OK en- about Nov. Is, to put our
plant in shape to handle the
business of the farmers and buy
ers in more satisfactory way.
We will make more room and ac-
commodate more buyers, as they
are what make a good market.
There is no change in the mar
ket this week of note Tugs not
quite so brisk but prices about

CRUSHED TO DEATH
BY LOADED WAGON


Leslie Chambers. a ranch hand,
81 years old, met a sudden death
Saturday afternoon. May 20,
when he was caught in some way
between the frame of a hay
wagon and a hay rack and crush
ed through the chest. 1t APP
pears that in climbing on or off
the wagon. as it was being driv-
en- by w. r. Harel about a quar-
ter mile west of the Miller tower
on the Santa Fe Railway, Cham
bers must have slid between the
wagon and the fence.
Coroner Jay was notified and
r S. Jay, went Immediately to
the scene. At the inquest, Har-
ell testified that about 5 O'Clock
Saturday afternoon he drove up
to the ranch. The pull was up
grade and the team stopped.
Harel remarked to Chambers
that they must have caught
against the fence. Leslie who
was riding on the straw replied:
Yes, | think so too, and rose
to his feet. Harel then started
to pull in to the rick, and did not
notice whether Chambers got off
the side or the back of the load.
He thinks that Chambers must
have jumped off and have tried
to get back from the rick to the
load, and slipped between the
hay frame and the fence.
He found him Wedged in a
space not more than 6 inches
wide. Hastily hitched his team
to the side of the wagon by a
chain ne moved the load and
Leslie dropped to the ground.
Harel found that Chambers no
longer breathed, and notified the
neighbors, who telephoned the
coroner.
The deceased was a second
cousin of VIM. f. Dillon, a we'll
known rancher here. and was
himself we'll known in MADEIRA.
He has been in California about
three years. The body will be
shipped to Tennessee for burial.
The above article concerning
the death of Mr.. Chambers was
taken from paper published at
MADEIRA. CAL, near the ranch
where the young man was en-
ployed.
The remains of Mr.. Chambers,
who is the son of Mrs. Ellen
Chambers of Carthage Route
land who had many friends here,
arrived in Carthage last Sunday
and were laid to rest in the fam
lily graveyard. He was a splen-
did young man, and his mother
and relatives have the sympathy
of the entire community.
The Mr.. Harel referred to in
the article was also a former
Smith countain, he having left
his home near Bluff Creek only a
few months ago going to Cali
fornia to reside.
