vii SON IS THE WINNER
he Carried California; New Mexico
and New Hampshire While Min
nesotd goes for Hughes.

Woodrow Wilson has been elected
president beyond any question, and
his election has been conceded by
most republicans. AS announced by
The Reporter last Thursday after
noon, Wilson carried California by
majority of from 1000 to 5000.
He also carried New Hampshire by a
small plurality and New Mexico by
several thousand, while Hughes has
apparently carried Minnesota by two
or three hundred, the final outcome
depending on the soldier vote, but
the state will probably go to Hughes.
This will give Wilson 276 electoral
votes and Hughes 255, majority
for Wilson of 21. There are 531
electoral votes, it being necessary to
have 266 to be elected. There was
some talk that California's electoral
vote would be divided, but latest re-
turns show that it will be solid for
Wilson.

Van Vert Had Fire Sunday Night.

The town of Van Vert had anoth-
er fire Sunday night, when three
buildings were destroyed by fire, the
fire starting in the G. d. Mckee
blacksmith shop, the origin being
unknown. The fire spread rapidly to
the east destroying Floyd Boles'
feed store and the restaurant of L..
D.. Brown. The buildings were all
frame ones and the fire spread SO
quickly that nothing could be saved
from any of them and the loss was
total, amounting to $4,000, but all
the parties were partially insured.
The blacksmith shop was owned by
C. D. Mckee, the feed store building
by the Patterson heirs and the res
taurant building by T. M. Craft.

Killed an Eagle.

Sam Bryan and Harry Perkins, OF
north of town, brought gray eagle
to town Friday morning that they
had shot and killed the evening be-
fore in q large dead tree on the Miles
McCarty farm near the formers s
home. The bird was a fine speci-
men and measured Z feet and inch
es from tip to tip OF it's wings. The
bold marauder had haunted the
neighborhood for several days
swooping down occasionally to carry
off fat hen, but was too wary to be
approached near enough for shot
until he went to roost for the night
on a dead tree where the boys slip
ped onto him and got in fatal
shot.-Lineville Tribune.

Cut Bee Trees. But Lost Honey.

John Chastain jr. and J. E. Al
baugh, of east of Leon, are convinc-
ed there is nothing to it in cutting
bee trees. Last Sunday they cut a
bee tree which they had located, and
secured several pounds of honey.
Just as they had finished removing
the honey and put it in pals, a boy
told them of another bee tree, and
they left the honey and went to the
second tree which they cut, but did
not get any honey out of it and when
they returned to where they had left
the honey secured from the first
tree, somebody had beat them to it
and taken honey, buckets and all.

A MURDER AT WELDON
". n. CarIan and Son AgiI Charged
with Killing Lawrence Coftcy
at Weldon last Thursday.

Another murder was added the
past week to the long list of murders
which have occurred in Decatur cOun-
ty, and w. H. Carlan and son Agil,
of Weldon, are under arrest charged
with the murder Of Lawrence Coffey,
q young man residing at Weldon.
Last Thursday evening Lawrence
Cofey, a young man about FL years
of age, had been drinking some and
went into the restaurant and barber
shop owned by the Carlans about
$3.50 o'clock. He made some re-
marks to Agil Carlan, who jumped
over the counter and struck Cotfey
several times, knocking him to the
floor, and then took hold of Coffey's
feet and was dragging him out the
door when his father, w. Fl. Carlan
grabbed up a bottle, claimed to be
either a pop bottle or a tonic bottle
from his barber shelf and rushed up
to Coffey and Struck him over the
head with the bottle. The blow was
a hard one the bottle being broken
and Coffey was rendered unconscious.
It is claimed that w. H. Carlan af-
ter striking Coffey said to his son,
"When you start to do a job you
want to do it right" or something to
that effect. Young Coffey was taken
to DR.. Jamieson's Office and given
medical attention. He died Friday
afternoon about o'clock, and post
mortem examination revealed that
his skull had been fractured and
some of the arteries of the brain rup-
tured.
County attorney Geo. w. Baker
and sheriff Lorey went to Weldon
Friday, and the county attorney filed
an information against both of the
Carlans before justice L. &. jamie
son, charging them with murder. At
the preliminary examination the
state introduced evidence showing
their case and the Carlans waived
examination and we're bound over to
the grand jury under bonds, that OF
w. H. Carlan being fixed at $4,000,
and that of Agil Carlan at $4,000. In
default of giving bonds sheriff Lorey
brought them to Leon and they were
placed in JAIL Agil Carlan gave

leased from custody, but w. II. Car
