A man by the name of Michael Conner was drowned in a branch of theXeime-cah ester day a week. It appears that he had attempted to ride a pony acros, the water being deep, he no swimmer and the pony very -mall, he was drowned. Conner had one of the fine-t tim-V-red claims in Sumner county, which is well improved. He had some three hundred dol lars in the First National bank of this city. He was married and his vv ife and children are v et in Ireland. Mr. J. M. Steele, who has been doing all his business, had just completed ar rangements to hav c his family brought ov er. Conner was to Irive "proved up" Iat Satur day, Mr. Steele having obtained permission from the departinc nt for him to do so before bringing his family ov er. Conner was an indu-- trious hopeful man, and his fate .ecm hard And then hN poor wife and children. I pon the outside will be found a eomniuiii cation from Sumner county, upon the subject of the election of district judge for the 13th judicial district. While w e giv c the communi cation spice and the author w rites scn-ibly and succinctly it must not be construed in any wise as an endorsement of cither the men or measure proposed. A'e w elcome the discus-ion of all the-e matters through the col umns of the Lagi.e by eiticn of the great Southwest, a the determination is to make this tin great paper of this section, all inutbe heard through it, but the discussion of a mat ter will not be an endorsement ol a line of action or policy unless editorial sanction is un equivocally given.
