York €tty NIGHT RIDERS BURN STORE Fredonia, Tenn., Merchant Dis- regards Threats of Ralders Clarksville, Tenn., Aug. 19 —Night riders are supposed to have set fire to the general merchandise store of W. E. Wall & Son, well known merchants of Fredonia, this county, and non- members of the association. Coal oll was poured on the store and when it was discovered by a person living near, it blazed up like a flash of powder and ina short time all was destroyed. The loss {s estimated at $5,000, with $1,600 insurance. Mr., Wall recently recelved an anonymous \*- ter stating that he had better join the Dark Tobacco Growers’ Assocla- tion or leave the country. He was also instructed to keep his mouth shut about parties who he alleged scraped his plant bed several months ago. The farm of Mrs. Elizabeth Nichol- son, which {s@ short distance from the store, was visited and nine acres of tobacco pulled up and ruined. It {s supposed that from filteen to twenty-five men were in the party, but there{s no clew to the guilty party. Mrs. Nicholson is 70 years old and {s prostrated by the outrage to which she has been subjected. Bloodhounds were brought here from Nashville in charge of officers and taken to the scene, but they were unable to successfally follow the tracks of the men. cAaAsTv OnrzraA. Beara tho ae of Attempt to Kill a Woman. Wichita, Kan., Aug. 19.—A half pins of a deadly drug was thrown into the sleeping room of Mrs. Mary Brazier, of this city. A woman inan adjoining room smelled the odor from the drug and discovered Mrs. Brazier in a dying condition. She was revived. No motive for the at tempted murder is known.

Henderson, Ky., Aug. 12—The parents of Patrick Haffey, a locomo- tive engineer of this city have recelv- ed word that he {a in prison at Jimi- nez, Mexico. Haffey was arrested be- cause his native fireman fell off a train and was killed. Bitter fecling -againet Americans caused a mob to form, and the young man was al- most lynched. The American am- bassador has been appealed to. 'THE WEST FEARS NO PANIC. a Street Alone Can Suffer, Says a Chicago Banker. Chicago, Aug. 19.—The adminis- tration may pound the railroadsand fine them {nto insolvency, the Bank of England may ratse discount rate as high as {6 chooses, and Wallstreet may have to pay the piper with its last red cent, but the West won’t care. Business is fine and the West has quit gambling.” This was the answer of John J. Mitchell, president of the Illinols Trast and Savings bank to a ques- tion as to the effect of the collapse of the stock market in New York and the action of the Bauk of England in advancing the rate of discount halfa point. “The West isn’t a bit wor- tied over the situation,” said Mr, Mitchell. “The West never was fur- ther away from Wall street than itis to-day. Present conditions in no way resemble those preceding the panic of 1894. All lines of commerce are prospering. Business {s profita- ble. Aslongas the country hasgood crops such as were ralsed this year and as long as general business is in a likely condition, no panic can oc- cur in the West. “The panic ih Wall street is easily jexplained. It is due largely to the (attitude of the administration to- ‘ward the raflroads. It all the roads guilty of rebating are presaed to the limit they will become insolvent. Persons who speculate in stocks are unloading because of fear that the government is after the corpora- tions.” A Missourt orator {s sald to have gotten off the following: ‘We livein aland of high mountains and low taxes; low valleys and low wages; big crooked rivers and big crooked statesmen; big lakes; big strikes; big drinks; big pumpkine; big men with pumpkin heads; silver streams that gambol in the mountains and pious politicians who gamble in the night; fast young men and faster girls; sharp financiers and sharp-toed shoes; fertile plains that are like sheets of water, and thousands of newspa- pers that lie like thunder.” Democratic Editors Met. Oklahoma City, Ok., Aug.—Demo- cratic editors of the new state, rep- resenting nearly every congressional district, met here this afternoon at Democratic headquarters. They discussed the present campaign and made arrangements with C. F. Bar- rett, chairman of the press bureau, to handle campaign literature. The editors were entertained by the state | committee at a banquet to-night. Will Drive Standard From State, Declares Davidson. City of Mexico, August 19.—Ina recent visit to this city, Attorney General Davidson, of Texas, mude some-.very important statements with regard to the Standard O!l Com- pany and its dealings in Texas. pe aan “Texas will drive the Standard Ot! from the state if every home within its bor- ders has to burn candles for light. The Standard, as it does business in the state, under the name of the Watere-Pierce Oil Company, is a vio- lation of the Texas anti-trust law. Itisa monopoly, and as such it must “The Texas laws are not too rigid, and the anti trust law is one which is on the etatute books of many states. In Texas we propose ty en- force it. Texas has enough oil wells inside its own borders to supply ev- ery bit of the of! needed in the state.” Liquor Drinking Growing. Washington, Aug. 19 —Prohibi- tion laws, reform waves and temper- ance crosades did not make the peo- ple of this country more abstemious {n the fiscal year closing June 30 than in any other year. Millions of gallons more whisky and beer were consumed, a billion or more cigars used, a million more cigarettes amok- ed and thousands of pounds more of snuff consumed than in the previous fiscal year. This {s shown by the statement of the Internal Revenue Bureau as to the recelpts of that bureau for the flacal year that closed June 30, which was mad public. In the last fiscal year there were withdrawn for consumption ofclgars weighing over three pounds to the 1,000, @ total of 5,151,862,130, as against 3,783,266,213, an increase In that one class of cigar alone of 1,368,695,917. In corn, rye and similar whiskies the consumption was 11,409,252 gallons above the previous fiscul year. Against a “Dry” Oklahoma. Oklahoma City, Ok., Aug. 17.—The wholesale liquor dealers of the two territories met in special session in Oklahoma City today. Henry Braum of Guthrie {s president of the assocla- tion. After the meeting he made this statement for publication : “Much has been written and pub- shed in the papers lately in regard to what our association and our peo- ple are doing and mean to do in the present campaign. “Much of this was without authori- ty. In fact, until this meeting today, no one knew what we would do as an association. After going over the situation thoroughly, we were unan- {mous in our opinion as to what should be done. The members of this assoclation will vote for the con- stitution and will fight the prohibi- tion measure toa finish.” ° Resolutions in favor of the consti- tution and declaring against the pro- hibition plank were adopted this af- ternoon. He Went Back to Whisky. Leavenworth, Kan., Aug. 19.—W. H. Cole, @ paroled prisoner, was brought back to the Kansas peniten- tlary on complaint of his wife. Cole was sent here from Beloit and was serving an indeterminate term of from one to ten years for forgery. He had a wife and five small children and after serving the minimum of his term was released on parole. Cole promised to support his family and to let whisky-alone. He was out three months when, it seems, he returned to his old habite of spending his money for whisky and neglecting his family. It is sald that his wife wanted him “straight. ened out” again, but has not given up all hope of reforming him. She Avenged Her Mother. New York, Aug. 19.—George Was- ser, after an absence of four years, returned home to-day, shot his wife and was in turn shot and wounded in the head by his daughter. The daughter pursued her father and fired several shots at him as he fled from room to room. DEAD MAN’S GULCH. And Her Name Was Kate. A patent medicine and soap sharp blew into Lutesville last week and in Mysterious Murders, Searches| order to get rid of his stock propos- for Hidden Treasures and a ed to give, just free gratis for noth- ing, a gold (?) watch to the most Bloody Visit by Quantrell|popular female. Everything came Among the Memories of the Dreaded Spot. Atoka, I. T., Aug. 19.—No man has ever traveled from Atoka to Boggy Depot, twelve miles distant, without getting that “Creepy” feel- fog when he crossed Sandy Creek, three miles out of Atoka on the old trail. This lonely spot with its deathlike stillaess by day and the weird call of the screech owl and the yelping coyote at night, will occupy @ place in the history of Indian ter- ritory as the ecene of probably more mysterious murders than any other one spot in its borders. Atoka {s one of the oldest towns in the Choctaw nation, and Boggy Depot is another. In the early days the trail between the two towns was much frequented. Long ago the crossing at Sindy Creek took the name “Dead Man’s Gulch,” and to this day no native of that section will make that crossing after night fall unless forced to do so, 'rhey go miles out of their way to avoid It. Nearly forty years ago the bodies of two men were found at this spot. No one ever identified them, and no one ever found out who killed them or why. It was then the name “Dead Man’s Gulch” was firet heard. A few years later the stage driver, who carried mail from Atoka over the trall to Boggy Depot, was murdered and his body was found in the same spot where the other two had been found, Quantrell passed this spot in the clvil war and left bis mark upon {t. He had found in the Choctaw nation five men who were working among the Choctaws trying to get recruits for the Northern army. These men hadcome among the Indians as traders and were not generally known to be representatives of the Northern army. They ingratiated themselves in the goodwill of the neighboring Indians and then incited to join the Union army. When Quantrell found the trail of these men he searched the country for them. They were chased across the Choctaw nation, took refuge in the Winding Stair mountains, were driven westward and tried to get {nto the Arbuckle mountains in the Chickasaw nation, but were inter- cepted at Limestone Gap by 4 squad of Quantrell’s men led by a Choctaw Indian. These five men were taken to the trail and hanged at the cross- ing at Sandy Creek, together with one of Quantrell’s own men who had disobeyed orders in the treatment of the Indians. Is was difficult fora long time to get anyone to travel that way even in daytime. A STAGE ROBBERY, TOO. Immediately after the civil war a stage coach, with money designed to pay government troops then station- ed near Boggy depot, was robbed and the government money, as well as all of the money and valuables of the passengers, was taken. Twenty years later three men, traveling in a light spring wagon and driving a fine team, stopped and camped for the night under the old elm tree. It was the first time since Quantrell had hanged the men that anyone was ever known to have stopped over night there. The next morning the party was gone, but there had been strange proceedings that night. The men had measured off 150 feet from the tree and set a circle of stakes around {tin a perfect circle. It was evident that they had used a tape line for the measurement. And where they had set their stakes they had dug into the ground. At the end of one of the fines thelr search had evidently been rewarded, for in the bottom of the hole; was plainly seen the imprint of a large pot, with toes on the bottom, large enough to hold at least five gallons. The pot Waseer turned several times and|had been broken and whatever it fired at his daughter.

St. Louls, Aug. 19.—The annual report of the board of policecommis- sioners, which will be ready for dis- tribution in a few days, will show anything except improvement onjac- count of “the lid.” In 190633,945 “drunks” were taken into custody, and the report shows 6,363 for 1907. According to the figures in the re- port there fs little need to expect a 3 million dollar police force as has been hoped forin some quarters. Isshows that in 1906 the expenses were $1,625,321.79 and for 1907, $1,668,- 918.66. For the fiscal year ended April, 1908, the board expects to use $1,859,841 81, This covers every branch of the department. Bought Town to Kill It. Pittsburg, Aug. 18. —“If the town doesn’ suit you, buy it and have it moved,” 18 the latest motto of Pitts- burg millionatres, and James Laugh- lin Jr., member of the big steel firm of Jones & Laughlin, has set the ex- ample of buying the whole town of Zellwood, Orange county, Fla. The} ~ little town, which is very old, was not to the liking of the millionaire, who some years ago built a mansion there. When he found that his nefgh- bors were not congenial be bought up every property in the town and will have portions’ of it moved over across the creek, and other portions perhaps dumped into the sea. Last week a stranger dropped into Brownington and offered to buy the Index. The thought of real money was so tempting that the editor named a figure and the stranger did nothaggle. He sald he’d take itand even went o far as to ongage some local talent to write up the news un- tilhe got acquainted. The town was all keyed up and the big transfer was to take place next morning; but when morning came the stranger had van- ished like the baseless fabric of a vis- fon, The editor—she same old editor —now says he didn’t’ want to sell, anyway, and adds that now] is the time to subscribe. Wm. Bell and Miss Jennie Caldwell, of New Home township, were {n town at noon to meet Mr. Bell’s wife and Mrs. J. H. Sullens, wite of Judge Sullens, who have been at Pueblo, Colo. They had gone there on ac- count of the fllness of Mrs. Bettie Lancaster, a sister of Mr. Bell. Mrs. Lancaster died there last Thursday and was buried at Marshall, Mo, Sunday.—Rich Hill Review. Americans Lost Every Race. Kiel, Germany, Aug. 19.—The Wannsee won the race of the Sonder class yachts for Emperor William’s cup, defeating the Wittelsbach by 8 minutes 24 seconds and the Spokane I. which was third, by 8 minutes 49 seconds. The visiting American yachtsmen have now; lost their last chance of taking home the cup, or of winningeven one of the serles of races, as they are eliminated $from the finals.
