may-4 The Committee Meeting. Don't forget the committee meeting next Wednesday 10 a. at the of Trade room. Ran Away From Home. Wednesday's Knoxville Journal and Tribune says: James D.

East, the well known tobacco dealer on Gay street, is very much distressed because his 14- year-old son, James East, ran away yesterday and cannot be hear4 Or. Mr. East notified the and asked the papers to help locate the boy. Ile is afraid he will meet death riding freight trains. Mr.

and Mrs. East live at 716 Deery street and are heart-broken to think their boy should treat them so. The last Mr. East saw of his son was at 8 o'clock when he walked out. of the store on Gay street.

Ile never dreamt ed the boy was leaving. There was nothing unpleasant between the father and son or any member of the family, and the boy's absence can be accounted for only by presuming that he wanted to see the world. It is supposed that young East bad company on his trip. One of his friends, "Billy" Webb, is also missing. "Billy" is the len of Dick Webb, residing on Fourth avenue.

He and Jimmy East went out to Mr. East's farm on the Rutledge pike, three and a half miles east of the city Monday, and the man out there says they brought away a small rio. and all the ammunition they could find. This leads Mr. East to believe the boys were planning the trip.

Mr. Webb formerly lived at Maryville, but does not think the boys would go there. Mr. East asks any one who hears of his boy to inform him and any one who sees him to arrest and hold him. Compliments Sheriff Atkins.

Wednesday's Knoxville Journal and Tribune Both General Anderson and Mr. Crozier were reached at Corryton by telephone. Mr. Crozier felt satisfied with the result of tho hearing. lie stated that he was very grateful to the people of Grainger county for their kindness and hospitality shown him, especially on his trip to Condry to convey the body of his brutber to Knoxville.

lie spoke in very complimentary terms of Sheriff Atkins' management of the case. He declared the report that there was any compromise between Sheriff Atkins and Bundren was untrue, and a great injustice to Sheriff Atkins, who had acted admirably in every respect, and whose conduct all along exonerated him from any wrong. The sheriff and his posse had simply surrounded Bundren so there was no possible chance for his escape. and Bundren realizing that resistance meant death, did the best thing possible under the circumstances by quietly giving himself up. Mr.

Crozier spoke very complimentary of the manner in which General Anderson and Attorney Bryant lied conducted the case before the magistrates. lie spoke of the fairness and unbiased manner in which the justices bad made their decision. "The people treated us splendidly," declared Mr. Crozier, "and we are indeed grateful to them." General Anderson expressed himself as pleased with the result of the hearing. On Monday throats had been made by some persons near Rutledge of lynching Bundren, but these threats did not amount to anything and were not listened to by intelligent people, all of whom felt that justice could be meted out by the courts.
