KILLING IN BLEDSOE COUNTY.
Ease Swafford and Bob Walker SUD-
posed to Have Killed Deputy
Sheriff Dunn.

Ease Swafford, Jr.. and Bob Walker
are said to be surrounded in the mouR-
{ tains in Bledsoe county near Browns
Gap. They are thought to have kille1
Deputy Sheriff Leslie Dunn last week
as Dupn, with other officers, was at
tempting to arrest Swafford and Walk
| er.
The Swafford home was approached
after night and two men were seen to
run away. Officers pushed after them
and as Deputy Sheriff Dunn was near
ing where the men were last seen, he
being short distance ahead of tho
other officers, he was shot from his
horse with load or buckshot. He
was dead when found shortly after be-
ing shot.
1t seems there were three cases
against Swafford and Walker and they
were chums. Swafford was charged
with attempt TO commit murder for
having cut or torn the most of the
clothing oft a woman at Spring City
January 8. He was also charged with
pistol carrying and some other crime.
Officers were attempting to arrest him
when Deputy Dunn was killed.
Governor Rye has offered reward
of $3.50 for. the capture of the men and
reward of 500 has been offered by
Sheriff Dyer. of Bledsoe county, m ak
ing total of $3.50.
Both men are considered very dan
gerous and there are liable to be more
tragedies before they are under arrest.
ANOTHER KILLING.
Ben Hamilton killed Jas. Roberts,
who was justice u the peace and a
highly respected citizen. 1t seems
that Hamilton had been In the asylum
and was known to be out of balance
mentally. He had married daughter
of Roberst and they had separated ct
different t mes. Il seems that Hamil-
ton went to the home Of his father-in-
law and made such demonstrations that
Roberts felt justified in pointing gun
on Hamilton and forcing him to give
up his arms. This angered Hamilton
and he went to the grave yard, here
they were burying the remains of Dep
uty Sheriff Dunn, who had been killed
the day before. Hamilton approached
Roberts IN threatening manner with
a pistol and Roberts thinking Hamilton
intended to shoot him, started to run.
Hamilton shot him IN the back as he
ran and Roberts fell as he reached a
tree a few feet away, but managed to
get the tree between him and Hamil-
ton. Hamilton walked up to the tree
and pushed the pistol around the tree
and fired three times. Every shot took
effect. Two were in the head, one of
which ran around the skull next to the
brain and showed as bump on the
Forehead. Roberts lived only a few
hours. Hamilton surrendered to the
sheriff of Bledsoe county and was lock-
ed up. Hamilton said to the crowd
present: lyon see killed him in self
defence. had it to do.;' As Hamilton
evidently was insane no punishment
will be inflicted, but Bledsoe county
has lost good citizen.
Later--We learn this morning that
,wafford and Walker gave up to an
'ther one of the Swaffords yesterday
md are now in the PikevilIe Jail.

A very encouraging feature that we
noticed was that there are more eating
houses than when the saloons were
running, that the food Is better pre-
pared and is cheaper. There was an
air of order and quietness everywhere
one went that was really cheerful and
refreshing. Business seemed lively
and every one appeared happy and
busy, so far as we could observe.
Every indication was that Nashville is
much better off without the open sa-
loon.

"WOMAN'S LEGISLATURE. "

A "woman's legislature has been
organized in indianapolis. 1t sits daily
and discusses all manner Of bills pre-
sented to the state legislature. After
the merits and dement's of bills have
been thoroughly debated the women
will send their recommendations to the
regular Legislative body. The woman's
legislature is a representative body
presided over by Mrs. S. e. Stirnson,
OF Terre Haute. 1t remains to ne seen
whether Indiana legislators viii chip-
alrously vote according to the request
of the women of their state, or AFRO
gantly represent men only.

STATES THAT HAVE GONE "DRY"

Sixty years ago nine Northern States
went "dry" in single year. Most OF
them soon lapsed into license. and up
to 1907, out of eighteen that had tried
the experiment only three-Maine,
Kansas. and North Dakota,-retained
prohibition.
Then seven Southern States came in-
to the prohibition column, in the fol-
lowing order: Georgia in 1907; Okla
homa. Alabama. Mississippi and North
Carolina IN 1908; Tennessee in 1909
and West Virginia in 1912. All of
these states have remained dry" but

seemed certain to become "dry" again

true.
