stopped at Mrs. Martins home to
spend the night After supper he and
Mrs. Martin and Mrs. Hattie House
man. neighbor, were sitting before
the fire talking. McCraw, came in and
took part in the conversation. The
Allen trials were discussed. McCraw
asserted, It is said by the women, that
in his opinion Wesley Edwards, one of
che gang sent to the penitentiary for
shooting up the Carroll county sher-
III, was not as courageous as people
thought he was. Angered by this state
ment. Jack Allen is said to have re-
torted angrily, charging McCraw
with defaming a man behind his
back. Fearing trouble Mrs. Martin
cried out: Don't, don't have any
trouble here"
The words were scarcely spoken
when the two men rushed together,
gripping at each others throat. The
women and their children ran from
the room screaming. Immediately af.
terwards a shot rang out, followed by
another. McCraw, hatless and without
his overcoat. 1t is said, plunged from
the house and disappeared. Accompa-
MED by wagoners who were camping
In the neighborhood the family return

The Clever Weaver Birc.

An interesting bird is the "wea,-
er." 1t seems TO be fond of max
ing enormous nests merely for the
purpose of exercise in the art OF
construction. Supply these birds
with strings and straw, and they
will use them up rapidly, and their
fabric is woven with a perfectness
that is astonishing. In some coun-
tries it is the custom of the weaver
birds 20 colonize and build one big
fat topped platform, two or three
yards across, which is so admirably
put together as to shed the rain as
well as any roof could do. Under
this roof they make individual pock-
ct shaped nests, bringing up under
this unique structure a large and
interesting family of little weavers.
There is another bird, called the
"tailor," which, instead of weaving
its nest, incloses it in big leaves and
stitches the latter together with
plant fibers, Just as one would sew .
piece of cloth.
