What We need is the rich cod liver oil

Trabue in the formers private office, continues to ab- sorb public interest in Nashville. Since Trabue's statement made late last night to the effect that he went to Stoke $ office to ask him to sign "a statement withdrawing and apologizing for insult. ing things he had said," and shot Stokes after the latter had made a violent as- sault upon him, no new light has been thrown on the tragedy.

 The funeral of MT. Stokes will occur this afternoon, followed by interment in the McGee family vault at Memphis There is some speculation over the resul: of tfe tragedy on the so-called tax payers suit" about city affairs, witl which the young attorneys were con- ected.
