Landseer Becomes Angered and Lifts
Horse off the Grounds With His
Horns.

In an encounter with the great Hood
Farm bull Sophias T. Landseer, MIN.
rod Porter one of the most prominent
farmers of the county, had his horse
killed under him and himself had q
narrow escape from injuries. Mr..
Porter was attempting to lead the bull,
which is one of the most noted Jersey
sires in the county, from the Alex
der farm on the Mt. Pleasant pike to
South Side Stock Farm, the home OF
the Porters on the Pulaski pike, when
the accident occurred.
Mr. Porter was leading the bull by
a regular bull staff and riding along
the Mt. Pleasant pike opposite the
farm of the late Maj A. N. Akin, when
the bull suddenly and without warning,
became enraged and made lunge at
the horse. He struck the horse square
ly in the chest, tearing a fearful
wound. The horse was literally lifted
off his feet and Mr.. Porter quickly
extricating himself jumped from the
horse. The staff was bent double.
The bull next attacked the horse
in the flank, ripping out another fear.
full wound. The horse died In short
time from the effects of the wound.
The horns of the bull have been re-
moved.
1t will be recalled that this bull was
purchased by an association of pro.
gressive Maury county breeders from
the celebrated Hoods Farm and
brought here about a year and a half
ago.

LITTLE BOY IS
KILLED BY SHOCK
FATAL ACCIDENT TO CLARENCE
GARRISON IN ODD FELLOWS
ORPHANAGE.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn, March g.
Clarence Garrison, the bright little 10
year-old son of the late Prof. D. Garri-
son, of this place, was instantly killed
Tuesday morning at the Tennessee
Odd Fellows Widows and Orphans
home~at Clarksville by coming In con-
tact with live electric wire. The re-
ceipt of the message announcing the
death caused the greatest sorrow in
this community. Four, of the little
Garrison children were admitted to
the Odd Fellows home about two
weeks ago, they having been taken to
the orphanage by J. H. McCulley, the
noble grand of the local lodge. Their
father, who was an active member of
the order, died a few months ago after
a lingering illness of several years,
and through the influence of the local
lodge the mother was persuaded to
allow four of her children to enter
the institution.
Still respondent over the death Of
the father, her grief Tuesday was truly
pathetic when informed that her eldest
child, who only two weeks ago in per
feet health, kissed her goodbye as he
left home to go to the Odd Fellows
orphanage, had been suddenly killed
without moments warning.
The remains of the little boy arrived
here Tuesday afternoon and will be
inferred beside his father in the Pippin
cemetery, three miles northwest oi
this city.

FOR ORGANIZATION
Of MAURy COUNTY
ROAD ASSOCIATION
MASS MEETING OF CITIZENS Elk.
PRESS DISSATISFACTION
WITH CONDITIONS.
TO MAKE AN INVESTIGATION
Appoint Committee To Find Out Why
The Highways Are Not in Better
Condition and What has Become Of
The Funds Raised.

As a result of complaint from differ
ent districts of the county in regard to
the condition of many of the roads and
highways and general dissatisfac-
ton with the management of road
matters, an important meeting of citi-
zens from all parts Of the county was
held in the chancery court room Mon
day.
There was a general discussion Of
the road question, and while various
views were expressed as to where the
trouble was, the opinion was unan-
imous that something should be done,
and that an investigation Of the en-
tire road question should be had, to
see if some solution could not be had
of the existing conditions.
1t was charged that many of the
roads and highways, especially in the
south end of the county, have had
nothing done to them for year or
two, and those present expressed a
determination to know, what are the
reasons for this condition, whether IL
is a lack of funds, lack of system OF
mismanagement.
A temporary organization was
formed to be known as "Maury County
Good Road Association" with Geo. N
McKennon, temporary chairman and
J. R. Williamson as temporary sec
retary. The following committee was
chosen: Sesse Tomlinson, R. A
Wilkes, w. P. Russell, w. v. Thomp
son, w. R. H. Matthews, Jno. S. Whit
worth and Geo. Ladd, to look into the
entire question: and report their find
ings with such suggestions as they de
sire, to mass meeting of the citizens

The Best of Friends.

DIR. Adachi, Japanese minister to
Mexico, who recently returned home,
talked with a reporter of the Toxic
Times, and said he had found friend
liness, not only in California, but
right through America. Il can say
cans and all were we'll disposed to-
indeed. I talked with many Americans
and all were we'll disposed towards
Japan. While I was at San Fran
cisco the Japanese consul general or
ganized tea party, to which all the
leading Americans were invited. They
all came. AS a result l met hun
dreds of notabilities and l talked to
them in my very bad English and l
found that they were all most favor
ably disposed not only to the Japa-
nese there, but also to this country.
During my stay in California l did
not hear a single complaint from the
japanese. They are we'll treated and
doing we'll. I hope the day is not
far distant when the Japanese in
Mexico will be as happy, as contented
and as prosperous as their country
men in California
