MANURE SPREADER
KILLS YOUNG MAN
Tragic Death Of Winston TOmInsOn, Near
Gardner, on Tuesday. Similar Acct
dent Near Greenfield.

Winston Tomlinson, twenty-five
years old and unmarried, met a
tragic death on the farm of Carl
POWER, near Gardner, Tuesday,
when the young man sustained
fatal injuries from a manure
spreader.
The young man was employed
by Mr., Poyner, and the two, with
boy, were engaged Tuesday
spreading manure, using a spread
er. One report we get is that the
spreader got out of fix and that
Tomlinson was at the rear max
ing an adjustment; that be was
revolving the drum backward and
told Mr.. Poyner, who was driving,
to start the team, and when the
machine started Tomlinson was
caught by the teeth. A great
wound four inches deep was made
in the head, one eye was torn out
and there was a laceration in the
arm.
Another report we get is to the
effect that Tomlinson was walk
ing behind the machine; that he
got too near the drum and was
struck by one tooth, knocking a
hole in his head and one tooth
striking him in the eve.
The accident occurred about s
O'Clock Tuesday morning and the
unfortunate man died at 1 o'clock.
He lapsed into Inconsistencies
in short while, often inquiring
of Mr.. Poyner if he was badly
hurt and telling the boy goodbye.
Medical aid was Immediately
summoned by Mr.. Poyner, but
the physicians saw at once that
the young man was fatally in
iured and all they could do was
to dress the wounds.
Tomlinson formerly resided at
Greenfield, where he was we'll
liked, being a boy of quiet habits.
The remains were inferred We'd
nesday at Cane creek.
A similar accident occurred
Monday in the Twenty-second dis
trict, but with less serious results.
Mr.. Buck Jones, west Of Green
field, while operating a manure
spreader on his farm, was caught
in the spreader and badly lacerat-
ed. The wounds bled profusely
before the arrival of a physician,
but the flow of blood was stopped
and Mr., Jones is resting easy.

Six CertiOrari
WritS QuaShed.

Perhaps never in the history o.
Weakley county were so many
certiorari cases heard and dispos,
ed Of in one day in circuit court a4
were heard before Judge Jones
Monday, when six such cases were
disposed of, and it was noted that
the several cases were against the
same defendants, namely, M. Vein
estin and J. Weinstein, formerly Of
Greenfield, who were doing a mer-
camille business there last year.
The several cases were originally
brought on accounts last fall before
Squire T. A. Lewis, of Dresden,
the several plaintiffs being out-of-
county business firms: ]. Eskind
& Sons, R. A. Cohen, Sam Levy
& Co., Marx Brothers, J. Reeves
& Co., and Epstein, Henning &
Company.
1t may be said by way of par
enthsis that it was matter OF
notice when these gentlemen, both
plaintiffs and defendants, appeared
in court Monday, that they are
brethren and members Of the
Jewish faith and religion. Chief
counsel for the several plaintiffs is
Attorney Herbert Jones, and the
defendants were represented by At
torney Kelley, of Memphis.
When these cases were heard
before Squire Lewis, judgments
were rendered against defendants
on the several claims, and then no
appeal was prayed for any case.
Hence, the cases were brought be-
fore Judge Jones by the peculiar
writ of "certiorari" as a substitute
for an appeal.
1t is proper to say for benefit of
our readers who are not acquaint-
ed with legal terms and writs, that
the meaning and purpose of this
writ is to certify for further pro-
ceedings and is a writ issued by a
superior court to an inferior court,
requiring the lower court to send
intothe higher court the matter
therein pending or terminated in
some cause, and in the above
causes it was used as a substitute
for an appeal from a justice of the
peace to circuit court, in which
cases the writ issued in lieu of an
appeal after the right of appeal
had expired.
Upon hearing on the merits of
the several cases, Judge Jones
quashed the writs and gave iudg-
ment on the several claims against
defendants, which amount to about
81 800. Appeals are prayed and
granted to next term Of civil court
OF appeals.

Grand Jury in
Special Session.

Last Saturday nights episode at
the depot, in which the Armstrong
negro drew a shotgun on Jamie
Little, caused .udge Jones to issue
an order commanding the sheriff
to summons tie grand jury to as
semble here N Wednesday to
make an Investigation into the
matter.
The grand Jury finished its
labors on last Saturday and ad-
,iourned for the 'erm, but was call
ed back here Wednesday, finding
an indictment gainst Armstrong
on the charge 0 assault with in
tent to commit manslaughter.
Armstrong, wh was carried to
Union City on Ionday afternoon
for safe keeping will be brought
back here during the week and
given a hearing. Judge John R.
Thomson and ling Webb have
been appointed to defend him. 1t
is a safe bet that his negro will go
to the pen.
Court will be held all the re-
mainder of the week, but will not
finish the docket, Judge Jones and
Gen. Morris going to Union City
Monday.

THE ODD FELLOWS
CAPTURE DRESDEN
Dresden Captured by the Odd Fellows Witt
out FIringOf a Single Gun. Lots Of Dinner
and OratOy. Fine Degree Work.

u'u VlulOIJ' IhlU D6Sl0G NUN.
The Weakley county Odd Eel
lows made an attack upon Dres-
den on Wednesday, capturing the
town before our citizens were
hardly aware of their approach.
Mayor Suddath learned of the
coming of these good people and
ordered Uncle Hatch Freeman to
turn the keys of the town over to
the Odd Fellows and their friends.
This was done and every courtesy
shown our guests. Dresden has,
a long-established reputation for
hospitality, but we believe our
people excelled themselves upon
this occasion.
The open sessions were held in
the G. P. church, where, in the
forenoon prayer was offered by
Rev. G. G. McDearmon, followed
by an able address of welcome by
Hon. A. G. Thomson. Elder
Eph P. Smith, of Martin, not
being present for the response,
Elder Will Etheridge consented
to take Mr.. Smiths place. Follow
ing this Mrs. Otis Hynds, Of
Hyndsver, made an interesting
talk. President John A. Paschall
was assisted in presiding by Past
Grand j. W. Insco.
At II o'clock the visitors as
sembled at the Moran building,
where a sumtuous repast was
served, quantity of dinner being
left after all had eaten to repletion.
In the afternoon the Odd Fellows
assembled at the church expecting
to hear Mr.. Eph P. Smith, who
failed to arrive, short talks we're
made by Rev. G. G. McDearmon
and others.
The delegates held their meet
ing in the office of clerk House,,,re-
electing John A. Paschall presi-
dent, Mrs. Otis Hvnds, vice-presi-
dent; Geo. P. Hurt, treasurer; w.
W. House, secretary, and Mrs.
Sarah Smith, assistant secretary.
This is the first time the Rebek-
abs have affiliated with the asso-
citation and their members were
elected to offices in the association.
By special invitation, the next
meeting will be held with Salem
lodge, four miles southwest of
Dresden, on Tuesday before the
second Sunday in April, when
work will be done in the Second
degree, and it was provided that if
only one team should enter the
contest for the banner that team
must make a general average of rs
per cent on the three points
graded.
AT night the Odd Fellows gath
cred in the W. 0. W. hall, over
the postoffice, and witnessed some
fine degree work by the Jewell
degree staff, no other team con-
test, and the handsome banner
offered by the association to the
team doing the best work was
awarded to this team. Following
The work a feast of barbecued
mutton, etc., was served at Nc.
Elwrath q Bullock's cafe.
The degree work done by the

was witnessed by a large crowd
and is pronounced the best ever
seen here, two teams contest
