NOT ARREST YET
FOR MUNSON KILLING
SPECIAL TO THE JOURNAL

Milton, Aug. 24.-Later reports
from the scene of the killing near
Munson Sunday, are to the effect
that the negro killed, BAIL, Miner,
or Milliner, was just out of the con-
vict camp in Alabama, where he had
served a term of eight years for a
killing, or attempted killing, at Cas-
tleberry several years ago. Only one
man in the neighborhood, except the
negro Cooper, knew him.
Both the originals in the difficulty,
Cooper and John Register, escaped
after exchanging several shots, and
have so far not been arrested.
John Register is said to have done
the killing and is supposed to have
been wounded by the negro Miner.

Dixie has produced another miracle
pitcher for the majors.
Tom Rogers is his name, and the
giant Tennessean who recently hurl-
ed a no-hit no-one-to-first-base tri-
umph over Chattanooga will soon be
leaving the Nashville Volunteers to
enroll with Fielder Jones' st. Louis
Browns.
With Rogers in the Brown fold
Jones will boast of two iron men
Dave Davenport, now wearing this
title alone in the Mound City camp.
From the very start of the present
campaign Rogers has hurled winning
ball and his record now reads Is vic
tories and eight defeats.
The big boy says he works best
when assigned to the mound every
third day.
Gallatin, Tenn, laid claim to only
one diamond celebrity-Hub Perdue,
prior to Rogers advent in spangles
and now that the Gallatin Squash
has passed from the exclusive set,
it will be up to Rogers to keep the
town on the map.

Budget Trouble
All Due to Mere
$4,000 Mistake

After Shoemaker had shown uJ
the discrepancy Saturday. Atkins
attempted to cover up his MIS-
take by asserting that he did rot
believe Drake should pay all the
interest. He blocked budget pro-
eeedings all morning by raising q
question OF legality.
Because the water department.
had been "bled" for large sums
20 years ago, and had not re-
ceived moneys for which bonds
were issued. Atkins asserted that
II was not fair to allow that de-.
partment to pay all the interest.
At noon recess the council waa
still debating All other menu
bers were willing to allow Drake
TO pay tie bill, and cut the $60,-.
600 expense from the general
budget.
Although the item of $4,000.
will make budget-pruning u
much easier task, commissioners
Gronen and Petit declared that
they would not pad their depart
mental expense. Each said that
he could maintain his department
efficiency on the money already
allowed him, and that he would
not take advantage OF the addi-
tional $4,000 discovered by
Shoemaker.
Gronen will insist that an
item of $1,000 for construction
of a downtown comfort station
be left in his budget, as the only
contemplated public improvement
In 1917. Petit will cut down
his police and fire departments
next spring. Just as though the
$4,000 extra money had not
been unearthed.
1t was announced at noon that
a l5-mill levy would be adopted
by the city. Saturday was the
last day on which TO decide the
levy. Because of the discovery
OF the additional money, IL will
take several days to reconstruct
the budget,

TO be made.
The item of $4,000 was part

bond interest would be paid from
the general fund.
