AFTER THE HORSE Is STOLEN.
Fairfield Ledger]

Not especially because of the terrible
accident which occurred last Wednes-
day, when three lives were snuffed out
by railroad train. but on account OF
future safety to travelling public. some
thing should surely be done to make
railroad crossings safer in the city Of
Fairfield. Something similar to the
accident last Wednesday was certain to
happen, ana then it was only a question
OF time when the people OF Fairfield
would have the matter brought to their
attention in a startling way. There
are a number of crossings in Fairfield
where some system of warning should
be placed, either gates. watchmen or
the bell system. Possibly the accident
Of Wednesday will serve to start the
inauguration OF a safety system on
railroad crossings, and the citizens OF
Fairfield should not allow the matter
to drop until every railroad crossing
within the city limits Is safely guarded.
The present time Is 4 most excellent
time to start, as the new city admin
istration is just entering upon its work.
Railroads should be prohibited from al
lowing cars to stand close TO crossings
in such position to obstruct the view up
and down the track from either side,
and Fairfield people Tlould insist in
most emphatic nlaI1aer upon safely
guarded railroad CROSSINGS. Whether
the driver of the automobile or the rail-
road was at fault Wednesday, is not
the question. The public should be
warned of the approach of trains by
gates. bells or a Waterman.

was thus drawing him off Handy
received numerous licks from other
Indians, some of which seemed to
be inoffensive, being made with the
fat side of the hatchet. One was
made with bis own sword from
which he narrowly escaped. In
another instance gun was fired at
him the muzzle not ten feet dis
tance which was only escaped by
some other Indian striking the gun
upwards at the moment of its dis
charge. The efforts of Handy to
rally his men, and in laboring for
the escape of Leiper, seemed to
have drawn off the attention of the
enemy from his men and to
have thus more nearly con-
centrated it on himself; only three
of them were killed, the remain
der escaped. Poor Lapier was
seen by Handy lying scaIped and
lacerated with wounds. He called
with the exclamation "dear cap
tain," to one who could no longer
command or protect, who was hur-
ried away by his indian eaptor and
never saw him more.

HISTOR Y
OF
Morgan County
From its Formation down to
the present day
CONTINUED from Last Week.

CONTINUED from Last Week.
From a study of what has here-
tofore been written, it can be seen
that the territory which was Nor
gan County at the time of it's tor
nation was at one time with the
rest of the State of Tennessee a
mart or the State of North Caro-
lima. and has been part of Wash
ngton comfy, and after the for
nation of Green part of that
county, was within the territory
embracing Davidson county, an
later a part of Simmer county, was
later part of Roane, Roane coun-
ty with it's present territory was
wholly within the territory former
ly comprising Knox county, but at
he time it was laid out 1T covered
large part of Morgan county,
which was at one time in Davidson
county, and later in Sumner, as
may be noted by the description of
Davidson county, heretofore given,
it's eastern boundary line was the
Cumberland mountains, and this
extended with Walden's ridge north
eastwardly, and with the top OF
Cumberland mountain to the Vir-
ginia line at or near Cumberland
Gap.
The boundaries of Morgan coun-
ty at the time of its formation,
hereafter to be referred to, embrac-
ed its present territory, and includ-
ed a large part of Soft, Fentress
and Cumberland counties, and it is
probably proper that some Indian
adventures be referred to, which

The adventure of a party OF
men headed by Capt Handy dur
ing the year 1902. might be inter
esting as an occurrence in our
early history. which has been omit
ted from the School histories of the
present day.
Captain Handy, when marching
with his company of forty-tWo
men, two hundred miles, for the
protection of the stations on Cum
berland, was attacked near the
Crab Orchard (Which afterward
was in Morgan county territory, },
by a party of Indians, fifty six In
number, commanded by the Middle
Striker. The party consisted OF
Cherokees, Creeks and Shawnees.
When the attack was made upon

of them and they fell back. Han

rescuing him instantly by seizing

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot
Be Cured

By local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear.
There is only II way to cure catarrhal
deafness, and that is by a constitutional
remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused by
an infamed condition of the mucouslin-
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is iniamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing and when 1t
is entirely closed, Deafness is the result.
Unless the Inflammation can be reduced
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition hearing will be destroyed forever.
Many cases of deafness are caused by
catarrh, which is an infamed condition
of the mucous surfaces. Halls Catarrh
Medicine acts thru the blood on the mu-
cous surfaces of the system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Catarrhal Deafness that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Medicine.
