Mr. Dnliu's IVatk ?enito llavo !5in
Jiiirder 'oU AecldenT.
Lester filler, Will Hilton and
Will Simpson, all colored, were
committed to jail today by Squire
D G Maxwell on the charge of
being implicated in the burning
of Mr. W M Dulin's house in
Crab Orchard in which Mr.
Dulin lost his life. The three
negroes were brought to Char
lotte about G o'clock this morn
ing by "Lawyer" Bill Roberts,
who manipulated their arrest,
some tim3 during, the early
morning hours. Owing to the
absence of souie important .wit
nesses today the men were com
mitted to jail and their trial was
set for next Thursday.
News readers will remember
the distressing conflagration in.
Crab Orchard two weeks ago in
which Mr. W M Dulin was burned
in the flames that completely
destroyed his home. Mrs. Dulin
and the children were spending
the night at the home of a neigh
bor's, else the story might have
been more terrible than it was.
At first, the burning was
thought to have been the result
of an accident. Now, evidence
has been gathered that points to
foul murder.
Those who arrested the ne
groes inform the News man that
the negro Simpson has told so
many stories concerning his
whereabouts at the time the fire
was first seen at the Dulin home,
that he. has raised .any amount
of suspicion. t
The other two negroes it is
thought, know something of the Mr- Lce Over-cash Dead.
PRENTICE AND THIi KATTLEK.
Aa Interesting Situation In the Msneli
f-7 a Western Citizen.
Every time John Prentice rolls
over in bed at night, a big rattle
snake lifts its ugly head and
burr-r-rs, and some night there
promises to be a Dattle beWeen
the two.
Ten days ago Prentice first
heard the warning bur r r of the
rattle in his shack. He is an old
Westerner and dwells on the
bank of the Columbia., half a
mile from Kennewick and just
across the river from Pasco.
His cabin is a. one-room affair
in the midst ol a wild, sparsely
settled," sage brush country, and
is piled high on one side with
plunder gathered from the river.
Hero ;u'c) dozens of heavy boxes
and other articles which would
take half a day to drag out.
Prentice heardt the rattler,
looked twice at the boxes and
then decided not to interfere
with the intruder ensconed be
hind the mass of rubbish. He
shifted his bed a little and gave
up half his house to the snake.
The rattlesnake burr-r-rs at
every move Prentice makes, but
the nervy Westerner pays little
attention to it.
On one side of the shack
dweller as he sleeps is a big
shotgun' and on the other a
bottle of approved snake bite.
"If I see that snake first,
heaven help him," remarked
Pi entice yesterday. "If he gets
in on me first, here's the snake
bite, I'm safe either way."

Tired of Life She Takes Strychnine and
Die Kt'jH'iits Her Folly. .
Miss Rebecca Albin, an unusu
ally pretty and popular young
lady of Winchester, Va,., of good
family and but 16 years old, com
mitted suicide Monday night by
caking strychnine and was found
on -the streets in a dying condi
tion, from which she never ral
lied. She was conscious and
told of her act but expressed re
gret for her deed and begged to
be saved. She gave as her rea
son that she was tired of life. A
drummer that had been with her
a great -deal was arrested but
was exonerated bv the coroner's
jury. It seems to have been tho
culminat ion of tickled tendencies
in the danger period of human
existence.
