JUNE 24, 1902. SALOON CASE ON TRIAL. Defendants Placed Several Witnesses on Stand Yesterday, The celebrated case of Madden vs. Kirk and others, a damage suit involving the destruction of a saloon at Erin, by a mob of its citizens, is still pending in the First Circuit Court before Judge J. A.

W. Broadus, an ex-deputy Sheriff of Houston County, who led the mob which destroyed the saloon of Madden, was the first witness for the defendants. He detailed the proceedings which attended the wrecking of the saloon. He said on the day on which the saloon, was destroyed he asked H. C.

Frost, who was supposed to be backing Maaden, if he would shut up his saloon and ship his liquor away. The latter replied that he would not. Ab Madden was asked the same question and made the same answer. Broadus then turned to Will Cook, a member of we mob, who had a sledge hammer, and told him' to do his duty. The mob then destroyed the resort and turned all the liquor out on the ground.

Madden was arrested. Other defendants were placed upon the stand and all testified that they had ried to get rid of liquor in Erin for en or twelve years, and that it had become a case where patience ad ceased to be a virtue. There are large, number of witnesses to be exnined for the defendants, and the idence will, probably be concluded ednesday. The case is one of peculiar interest, recalls the celebrated opinion of Wilkes, when the constitutionof the act of 1899 was tested. act made the four-mile law apall towns of 2,000 inhabitants under.

H. C. Frost owned a saIna at this time and Ab Madden was barkeeper. Frost incorporated a town in order that he might sell whisky in it. The formalities of installing a city government were complied with, but none of the functions were ever, exercised.

The Supreme Court held that the incorporation was illegal and was not in good faith, You feel better at once after usibg Herbine, you enjoy your food more, and you get more nourishment and in vigorating force out of what you eat, Hence Herbine makes you strong, vigorous and cheerful.

There will be a third candidate for Governor of Tennessee to be voted for at the fall election.

The Prohibitionists will nominate a candidate at a convention yet to be called. This statement has been given out by State Chairman James A. -Tate: "Yes, the Prohibitionists of Tennessee will have a candidate for Governor this fall," said Mr. Tate. "The present temperance sentiment in the State is largely due to the campaigns which have been conducted by the Prohibition party at the regular elections.

The Prohibitionists have kept the temperance question constantly before the people, and now feel that much would be lost should they not name regular candidates of their own. The Prohibition State Committee has already expressed itself as favorable a separate campaign. A nominatng convention will probably be called ome time in August to name candilates for State offices. "Among the possible candidates are Col. R.
