Mrs. DR.. Chas. Chambers Dead.

Mrs. DIR. Charlie Chambers commit
ted suicide by shooting herself in the
head with a pistol early Tuesday
morning at her home near. Chambers
store. She was formerly Miss LEVEL
Walker, an unusually charming cul-
tured young lady and one of the most
popular teachers of the county.
While teaching in the Selmer High
School in December, 1914, she was
married to DR.. Charlie Chambers, a
prominent young physician Of his Sec
tion, and they had lived happily to-
gether. 1t is reported that her health,
which was never robust, was continu-
ally declining. That probably induced
her to employ the tragic means Of
ending her life. Our sympathy goes
out to her husband, mother and other
relatives and friends.

The big city dailies all over the
country announced on February
20 that the notorious information
al spy. Ignatius T. 7. Lincoln,
former member of the British
parliament who escaped from a
deputy United States marshal at
Brooklyn, N. Y. in January, had
again been caught by officials Of
the Department of Justice and
landed in Jail. This has interest
to our readers because the man
who ran him to the earth was
none other than our friend Special
Agent Lindsay S. Perkins of the
Department of Justice, a fact
which has been attested by let
tiers from the Bureau head in
Washington congratulating him
upon the good work. The De-
partment was particularly anx-
ious to catch Lincoln because,
after his escape from the mar
shall, he. boldly announced,
through the newspapers, that he
proposed to remain in New York,
and deied anyone to find him,
although the New York World
offered a reward of $3.50 for his
arrest. Mr.. Perkins found the
man, and two other agents put
the irons on him, but, being en-
ployees of the is. Government,
they could take no reward. Our
friend writes that the official let
tiers of thanks, which heads of
government bureaus give out
only in extremely rare cases, is
worth more to him than the re-
ward offered. We wish our friend
Perkins could devote one of his
New York letters to telling how
he corralled this notorious fellow,
for whom more than 10000 police
and secret service men were seek
ing, but he says he cannot tell
any of the particulars of his
work. The New York World of
Sunday had an interview with
him about it, representing what
the Department had to give out
on the subject. The federal Off
GERS Of New York and Brooklyn
thanked him and his fellow
agents for the capture of Lincoln,
and will give them a banquet in
the near future.
