ON SERIOUS CHARGE.
TaImage Watson Is Bound to Circuit
Court Under $4,000 Bond.

Talmage Watson, son OF }. 5. Wat
son, was tried-before Esq. j. L. ASH
burn, at Crab Orchard, yesterday on
the charges Of housebre aking and at
tempt to commit rape, and bound to
court under bond of 81, 900 in each
case.
The conditions surrounding the case
are the following, so far as the Chron-
icle has heen able to learn.
Friday morning shortly before the
bound passenger reached Crab
Orchard some person entered the bed
room of two daughters OF Rev. W.
l.. Patton and took hold OF one of the
young ladies' and attempted to kiss her.
The lady screamed and Rev. Patton
and son rushed to the room to learn
the cause. Whoever the person was
escaped from the room, but was fired
at with a pistol, either by Rev. Patton
or his son, as he ran away.
1t seems that two or more men had
incurred at the Patton residence, twice
that night and only short time be-
fore, what time the passenger train
was due. They were told the time and
on the second inquiry being made Mrs.
Patton reminded them that she had an
swered that same question not long be-
fore.
Watson was arrested Saturday and
taken to Crab Orchard for trial, which
was continued until yesterday. When
the case came to trial yesterday Wat
son presented no evidence in defense
of the charge. The evidence was suf
ficlent to satisfy Esq. Ashburn and he
bound Watson to court under a bond OF
ST 900 in each case; one for house.
breaking and one for attempted rape.

A STRIKING INCIDENT.
W. |, Martin, of Crab Orchard, Has
Convincing Experience.

W. l.. Martin, of Crab Orchard, WIN
is we'll known to many in this county,
recently had an experience that made
him stronger for good roads than ever
before, and he has always Deen good
roads advocate.
Mr.. Martin has a farm of forty acres
lying about two miles towards Grassy
Cove from Grab Orchard. He recently
gave Capt. ]. W. Ayres, of Hartman,
an option on the farm at 81, ,600 Cap
tain Ayres brought woman there to
look at the farm a few days ago.
When she saw the thrifty condition
of the farm, the feed on hama and the
stock she decided to take the farm and
so stated.
When the woman actually said she
would take the farm Mr. Martin sud-
denly found that it was much harder
to actually part with the farm than to
talk about it and asked to be allowed
to call the trade off and keep the farm.
Captain Ayres naturally insisted that
the trade be carried out Mr.. Martin
felt that he must comply with his
promise if the purchaser insisted, so
he agreed to the sale for 1900.
But the funny part remains to be
told: On the return trip TO Crab
Orchard, over road none too smooth
the woman got so badly jolted up that
her back became lame and she decided
she would not take the farm after all.
AS no money had passed that ended the
matter. When Mr. Martin learned of
the decision arrived at by the woman
and the cause he was heartily glad for
one time that the road to his home was
rough one. But he got lesson from
that incident that he will never forget.
He fully believes that had there been
a good road to his home from Crab
Orchard the woman would have bought
his tarm and very likely her action
would have induced others to buy in
the same neighborhood or at other
points over the county.
Mr.. Martin IS now about as wildeyed
good roads enthusiast as it is possi-
BILE for any one to be. That incident
has made strong impression on many
others in the Crab Orchard neighbor-
hood

SHORT ROUTE.
The Short Route via Crossville ana
Jamestown IS more than one hundred
miles shorter than either OF the desig-
mated routes above named. The five
counties IN Tennessee have about l2O
miles to build to carry the road to the
Kentucky line. To build that distance
there is $50, 900 available, which GER
tainly is ample.
e. E. James has stated that he
would Eguarantee the building OF the
bridge over Cumberland river, which
removes that obstacle.
Clinton county, Kentucky, which is
the county touching the tennessee
state line-county seat Clinton-has
called an election to vote bonds for
building through that county. Under
the laws of that state the call has to
be issued forty days before the elec-
tion is held. The call was issued Tues
day of last week. After passing
through Clinton and one other county
north and to the county seat of the
second county splendid pike roads will
be struck over which tourists can
reach Louisville, Cincinnati, or any
other point. We are not informed as
to what action the other two counties
in Kentucky have taken, if any, but 1T
is known that they are alive and very
active in behalf of the road, which
practically lnsures it's construction.
No one doubts for moment that
every county in Tennessee on the Short
Route via Crossville will fail to do its
part and build the road.
Since the time deslgnatde by the
commission was one year, we should
mot delay amonent q longer than nec-
lsessary to start the work in this coun-
ty and lend all encouragement possible
| to every county along the line. The
Kentucky counties will naturally look
| to see what action Tennessee Will take
since we are so close to Chattanooga,
one of the important points on the
| highway.
From talking with many people over
this county we have not founu sim
gle person who is not favorable to the
| Immediate building of the road through
this county, and at the same time. the
completion ofsthe Memphis Bristol
| highway.
