Hickman business men should
get together and establish here a
mill 10 make the various stock
foods, of which alfalfa is the has
is and principal ingredient. This
product brings a fancy price and
a mill should be a paying invest
meni-especially in view of the
fact the alfalfa could be bought
as cheaply here as anywhere 49,
with the saving Of freight, which
is a big item of expense to mills
located outside the alfalfa grow
ing districts. This same mill

LEVEE CAMP NEGRO
KILLS TWO ON BOAT.

Robert Diggs, a negro deck
passenger on the Steamer Ferd
Herold, ran amuck with a pistol
Sunday night at midnight and
killed Second Mate Earl Lee, of
Memphis, and an unknown negro
passenger. The double tragedy
was enacted while the vessel was
steaming between Mabel, Ky,
and Slough Landing, Tenn, or
Anderson, Ky. Diggs and Web
ster Daniel, negro cOmpan-
ion, were arrested and are now
in jail at Tiptonville.
Diggs and Daniel are employed
at the Bondurant l4evee camp,
near Mabel. They boarded the
steamer Sunday at Hickman. The
vessel was carrying considerable
cotton on the deck. Sunday night
the two negroes began TO smoke
and Mate Lee sent word TO them
by the head roustabOut 10 deSist
as smoking where cotton was
stored was against the regulations
of the boat. The negroes com.
piled with the request.
About midnight Mate Lee no
ticed they were smoking again.
He started back to them to re-
peat the warning. AS the mate
came up, Diggs without warning,
jerked a pistol from his pocket
and pushing it against Lees alb
dOmen, fired.
The noise of the exploding pls-
toll awakened an unknown negro
passenger, who was sleeping near
by. As this negro rose to his
feet Diggs fired point blank at
him, the bullet entering his head
and killing him instantly.
The noise of the shooting at
tracted other members of the
boat crew and DlggS was over
powered. Ills companion, Dan
lei, was also seized and searched,
although it is not known that he
had a direct part in the killing.
a pistol was found on Daniel and
he too, was placed under arrest.
The two were held on the boat
until it reached Tiptonville, when
they were turned over to the Of
ficers of Lake county.
The body of an unknown ne
gro was taken off the boat there
and buried. Lee was miniStered
TO aboard the boat and lived UNI
til 8 o'clock Monday morning
His body was taken to Memphis
early Tuesday morning from
New Madrid, where he died.
There seems TO be some ques-
ton about where the killing oc-
curred-whether in the jurisdic-
ton of this or Lake County, Tenn.

WINS JOKES WITH COLONEL
AS DAYS FIGHT STARTS

At court time this morning II was
apparent that local as well as safe IN
terest in the case has grown day by
day There were files OF people strug-
Cling to gain entrance to the trial room.
Lawyers from ali up and down the
Mohawk Valley were throngius in to
delight in the contest OF brilliant law
yers and 10 hear the Colonel defend
himself As the Colonel walked rapidly
TO the elevator a crowd OF his admirers
, gave him resoundng cheer.
4 few minutes later, when he dropped
into "A seat at the counsel table. his
heckler. Mr. WINS, walked over in the
most friendly way. remarking
well. Colonel, ! can say this for you,
anyway you are wearing me out
Mr. Roosevelt slapped the table and
laughed heartily. and for the next few
minutes ne talked literature with his
adversary. Mr. Barnes was rot yet in
court during these amenities. At the
bell Mr.. WINS went after the Colonel
on rhe score Of his relations with or
ganizdtion leaders when he was Cover

his mo, sir"
Bocs Penrose Of Philadelphia was a
boss, Cecil Lyon Of Texas want; Ma

sure about.
Then Mr. WINS went into the per.
souslity Of other distinguished fguree
in the Presidential campaign OF that
year, among them Uncle Joe Cannon Of
Illinois.
Col Roosevelts reply was that Uncle Joe
had certainly been the boss OF tho House
OF Representatives until he was over
thrown and when Mr.. wins remarked
ironically that II had taken a long time
to overthrow him and that he had finally
come back the Colonel scored easily
with that hilarity provoking falsetto tone
and broad smile as he shouted. mot

Joseph y. Foraker Of Ohio was ham
died rather nicely by the Colonel con-
siderine what has passed between them
At the time OF the national convention
Of 1904 he was not a boss, according
to the Colonel. Senator Foraker was
very powerful man. but he was not
an ordinary boss at all, Mr.. Roosevelt,
was quito sure And through all his com
ments upon the characters and promi-
nence OF these Republican chleftains ran
| the Colonels inimitable naivete.
More Letters Produced.
At tho end OF the day. after Mr.
WINS had taken tho Colonel over good
part of the preliminaries of the Taft
campai gn OF 1908. trying to make him
admit he hal bossed the nomination OF
Taft and that he attempted to dissuade
little bosses from supporting Charles +
| Hughes. Mr.. harness senior counsel
produced a number of letters which were
written by Mr.. Barnes to Presiden,
Roosevelt and by President Roosevelt &c
Mr.. Barnes In 1908 and by Col. Roose-
welt to Herbert Parsons and by Herbert
Parsons to Col Roosevelt in 1910.
For reasons Of strategy. perhaps

Nj. Wins finally got the Colonel TO
say that while two and two make four
he did not believe that to be a formula.
