The greatest loss of life was at Lit

kind of a gathering at the home ol
Tom King, and among the guests were
Jim and Joe Leggett, sons of one of
the most prominent farmers of this
county. King’s wife and four chil

ber being a one-year-old infant.
With demon-like furry, the wind
caught up this little dwelling and
wrenched the timbers apart. The oc
cupants were caught under the falling
walls and roof and their lives crushed
out in an instant. This morning the
I bodies of King and his wife, three
of their children and the two Leggett
boys were found in that vicinity. The

capitol on the site of the old peniten

1 ,.000. No amendments were tacked on
! in the senate and the bill was prompt
1 ly reported back to the house, where
1 it will be enrolled and submitted as
soon as possible to'.the governor.
The bill creates a board of state cap
itol commissioners, to consist of five

sional district, and none of whom
shall be members of the present gen
eral assembly. The commissioners

assembly in joint ballot shall select
j the five commissioners. Each com
1 missioner shall give bond in the sum

! any of the commissioners to be in any

ed by the board. The board shall

SIDNEY LOBB DIES
FAR FROM HOME.
Sidney W. Lobb, a middle aged
man, light complected and about five
feet, ten inches tall, who came here
Monday, March 30, from ElPaso, Tex.,
died Wednesday afternoon at 2:30
o’clock at the Newport House and his
body has been taken to Drummond’s
undertaking rooms, awAiting orders
from the deceased’s brother at Tor
onto, Canada, whose name is A. F.
Lobb.
The deceased stranger was addicted
to the use of opiate? and the night of
his arrival, walked off the- kitchen
roof at the Newport House. The fol
lowing Wednesday he fell from aside
walk, and was confined to his bed
from injuries until death relieved him.
An express money order was sent
here from his brother to pay for his
expenses to a hospital, but is tied up
and cannot be used for tuneral ex
penses. The deceased asked that he
be given a decent burial'and stated
that he left two children at Toronto.
R. F. Drummond has telegraphed
his brother for orders.
APPEARED BEFORE COMMITTEE.
Most of the Newport delegation
who appeared before the temperance
committee of the Senate Wednesday
night, have returned from the state
capitol.
About fifteen citizens testified that r
the sentiment of the majority of those
living within the Newport three-mile
district was in favor of the Keel bill,
while about half that number were
witnesses to the contrary. The evi
dence was largely confined to this
one point, as the Senate desired to
learn the wishes of the people con
cerned in this purely local measure,
eliminating Newport from the pro
visions of the three-mile act.
Among those in favor of the Keel
hill, appearing before the committee
we e T. J). Kinman, T. J. Watson, G.
W. Hurley, H. Bernstein, T. T. Ward,
E. C. Waterman, J. W. Grubbs, Park
Deaderiek, C. J. Saenger, T. S. Steph
ens, M. M. Stuckey, Gustave Jones,
W. A. Billingsley and others while
James Henderson, O. W. Scarborough,
J. E. and J. S. Wilmans, G. A. Hill
house and Revs. J. W.^plBth, T. C.
Mahan and C. 0. Cline iepresenled
No action was taffBli by the com
mittee at that session, nor any inti
mation given by the members as to
the nature of their report, but the '
general impression prevails that the
Senate is favorable to the passage of
the Keel bill.
