CUT MEMS THROATS
Bandits Murder Jitney Driver and
Attempt to Rob Bank
at Oakdale.

! Tuesday night of last week tn
most inhuman crime ever known il
East Tennessee was committed nea
Oliver Springs, Anderson county.
Two men hired George Lewis, a
Knoxville, to drive them to Olive
Springs. At Oliver Springs they wer,
/ joined by two more men and after
driving a few miles west of Oliver
Springs they bound and gagged Levi:
and his friend, Andrew Crumrcy, whom
he had asked to go with him. The
bandits then proceeded to cut the
throats of the two men on the theory
that dead men tell no tales.
Lewis was killed. but Crumley, who
fcigned death to deceive them, lived
and with his hands still tied behind
him and gagged, made his way to a
house and was released and taken to
his home in Knoxville. He will re-
cover.
After leaving the men for dead, the
bandits returned twice to Yook for
Crumley, who was nearby and hid,
with the intention of killing him.
The bandits then went to Oakdale,
got inside the bank there, and when
the officers came to open the bank
in the morning attempted to hold them
up and rob the bank. Two of the
bandits, Charlie Petree and John Nc
Clure, were arrested. The other two,
Tom Christmas and a man who gave
his name as Wilson, made their es-
cape and are being sought by many
persons in the mountains.
Christmas and Petree lived at Har-
riman while the other two men were
from Columbus, Ohio.
The feeling is general that the two
:ugitives cannot fail to be caught wi
hin a few days as the whole coun-
ry is aroused and officers are on the
ookout for them.

GETTING RID OF ANTS
Several Good Ways Explained That
Can Be Used by Any
Housewife.

The ant may be a model of thrift
and industry, but no modern house
keeper desires this particular mode
around her home. The following
methods of exterminating the pes
are given by the Bureau of Entomol
ogy, United States Department of Ag.
riculture:
The most effective way of ridding a
house of ants is to find and destroy
the nest by treating with carbon BIZ
sulphid, benzine, gasoline or kero-
sene. Or, if the nest itself cannot be
found, oftentimes the ants may be
traced to the opening or crack thru
which they enter. Squirting kero-
sene into or plugging it with cotton
saturated with oil will in many cases
drive them away.
A temporary expedient for control
ling ants is to noisten small sponges
with sweetened water and place them
where the ants are most numerous.
Attracted by the sugar, they will
crawl into the sponges and may be
killed by dropping into boiling water.
The sponges should be baited again
with the sweetened water and, if nee
essary, set in different places until
the colony leaves the house.
A more effective, but also more
dangerous, method is to moisten the
sponges with a sirup made by dis
solving one pound of sugar in I quart
of hot water and adding I25 grains
(about ID ounce of arsenate of soda,
some of the ants apparently carry
this poisoned liquid back to the nest
and feed it to the others there, thus
gradually killing the entire colony.
This mixture must be used with the
greatest care, as it is poisonous to
both human beings and domestic ami
mails.
Ants are attracted by various food
substances, especially fats and su-
gars; therefore these foods should be
kept in closed containers and crumbs
or small amounts spilled on shelves
or tables cleaned off at once.

HOTEL CHANGES HANDS
E, o Hembree Leases Payne's Inn
Tor a Period of Five
Years.

Last week f. o. Hembree closed
deal with A. f. Payne whereby Mr.
Hembree leased the Payne Inn for
period of FIVE years. Mr.. Hembree
and family took possession Friday.
One condition of the lease provides
that a heating plant shall be put in by
October I. That will mean that all
rooms will be provided with heat in
addition to the present water supply,
thus supplying Accommodations in keep
ing with modern conditions.
Mr.. Hembree conducted the Com
mercial Hotel for several months
about a year ago so that he does not
take hold of the business without
some experience. The hotel is 10
Gated close to the depot, which rem
ders it very attractive for travelling
men. He plans to change the name,
but has not as yet decided what name
he will use, but will make his decision
at an early date.
Crossvile is very fortunately situ-
ated for hotel Accommodations, having
three excellent hostleries, which isl
ample to accommodate the business
how and for some time to come.

cRossvILLE, TENNESSEE, WEDNESDAY, June
STORE ROBBED At WESTEL
One Culprit Bound to Court and Two
Sent to Reform School for
Three Years.

/ Last week the store of E. \
Hhrgitt & Company, Westel wa
broken into by Eugene Logan, Georg
Graves and Clifford Oody. M. +
Hargitt, who is running the genera
store, was sleeping in the store ex
pecting them to come and when Logal
had gotten on the inside covered hin
with a gun and arrested him.
The conditions surrounding tn
burglary are about these: For fou
different times persons have broker
into the store operated by Mr. Hargit
at Westel, and carried away a few
dollars worth of goods. Growing
weary of such work he phoned tc
Chattanooga for Perry Phips and his
bloodhounds. They took the trail
readily and trailed to the home OF
Sam Frady. who lived mile or two
from the store. Nothing could be
identified that would convict Mr.. Fra
dy and Mr.. Hargitt decided to do his
own police work thereafter.
Thursday night of last week he be-
gan sleeping in his store. He had
prepared an electric light so he could
fash it on any one who might enter.
About ten o'clock he heard a
noise at the store window and pre-
pared to receive the intruder. He al
lowed the man to get inside the store
and then turned on the light. The
man, Eugene Logan, found himself
covered with a gun and was told to
hold up his hands, which he did
promptly.
After considerable calling Mr.. Har-
gitt succeeded in arousing section
hand living near by who came and
tied Logan while Hargitt covered him
with his gun. Mr.. Hargitt brought
Logan to town on the early morning
train and placed him in charge OF
Sheriff Walker.
Logan admitted that two others
we're with him and gave their names
George Graves and Clifford Oody.
They were arrested and brought to
Crossville on the early train Sunday
and had their trial before Esq. o. b.
Rector. Logan was bound to court,
and as Graves and Oody swore they
we're under 18 years of age they were
turned over to Judge S. N. Smith, ju-
,enile judge, to be tried. Judge Smith
sentenced them to three years each
n the state reform school.
In the course of their stealing the
hieves secured two pairs of shoes,
lam of meat, and some overalls. If
lnything further was taken Mr.. Har-
.itt did notGnow of it.
