Notches to Weapons
Mont Eagle, Tenn. — Efforts on the
part of W. L. Davis, who claims to be
a federal officer, to arrest certain mem
bers of the Ladd faction, wanted in
connection with the death of George
VVestertield several months ago, has
caused a series of gun battles in the
one street of this little village.
Mrs. Egbert Garner, wife of one of
the principals, is dead: Davis and John
Ladd are not expected to live; Milt
Tate is severely wounded, and Egbert
Garner is under arrest, charged with
shooting with intent to kill Davis.
The killing adds another chapter to
the mountain feud which caused toe
killing of Westerfield in front of the
house of Priest Meeks, just across the
Marion county line" from Battle Creek,
some months ago.
Two sons of Davis and two friends,
Rawlings and Whitten, were charged
with the killing and tried. A mistrial
resulted, and their case was later nolle
prossed.
Yesterday Grundy county officials
bad warrants for the arrest of John,
Alf and George Ladd, Fig and Blev
Weathers and Milt Tate for the same
same killing, the charges being made
by the Davis-Meeks-Rawlings faction.
Davis attempted to arrest Ladd and
Tate in the country near Mont Eagle,
and when the two started to run fired
on them with a rifle, wounding Ladd
seriously and Tate slightly, but did not
effect the arrest. A short time later,
as Davis came face to face with Egbert

Sheriff Sartaio of Grundy county
placed Davis under arrest. Just as be
did so, Garner returned and shot Davis
through the shoulder and hip.
The sheriff arrested Garner and later
also arrested Alf and George Ladd and
Fip and Blev Weathers, in connection
with the Westerfield killing'.

Dooley*s Personality Out of
Regulation, Says Potash
“I am gland to see you, Dooley,” said
Potash, smiling. "My adreuals are '
secreting in hormoney with my thyroid
and unless my interstitial cells, God
forbid, give out before morning, I shall
continue happy.”
“Is ut crazy ye have become?” asked
Dooley, ‘‘or phwat is it?”
“From your disposition l can see
that some of your internal secretions
are not as they should be. Your per
sonality is out of regulat ion. You have
a disfunction of the sympathetic.” j
“Wan more insult and ye must fight.
Potash, Friend or no friend, the Doo
leys have always been sympathetic.”
“Last night, Dooley, Dr. Herman
came to visit my daughter, Sadie.
After he gave my grandfather a pre
scription for his chilblains and Rosie
something for the falling hair, he told
us about the glands. Honest, Dooley,
you wouldn’t believe the half of it.”
“I don’t,” said Dooley.
And as Potash departed, his glands
regulating happiness were evidently
running on only one cylinder.—Amer.

Compel Bride to Quit
Chicago.—Onions agaio! Three times'!
a day for three days straight, was too
much onions for Mrs, Zoe Saodowicz,
1S43 Wilmont street, despite >the fact
that they were the first three days of
her married life. As unfortunate as
her di-dike for onions was her inability
to speak her mother-in-law’s native
tongue, Polish. Joe was uuable cocon-'
tit nee his wife that onions were good
for her health, and his mother, with
whom they lived, was determined that’
her menu would,,be run to suit herse.lf
-Yesterday .iMrs. Sandowicz had Joe
-before *J<udge William, I-,. Morgan, in
the court of domestic, relations, for
^onsupport.
VYou have heard what the last wit
ness said,” persisted counsel,; ‘‘and yet
your evidence is to the contrary. Air
I to infer that you wish to throw doubt
on her veracity?”
The polite young man waved a dep
recating hand.
“Not at all,” he replied. ‘‘I merely
wish to make it clear what a liar I am
if she’s speaking the truth.”—Pickup.
