Danville Folleo Chief Exposed es an Eseaped Georgia Convict. Danville, Va., March 2.-Thos. Ed gar Stripling, who tor live years lias been chief of police of Danville, was arrested this afternoon as an escap ed murderer from the Hamilton, Harris county, Georgia, prison. In 1897 he was tried for murder, con victed and sentenced to life implrs onment. He escaped pending a mo tion for a new trial. Stripling coolly and promptly con fessed when the requisition papers were read to him. Ile ls the father of ten children. Created Sensation. The arrest and exposure of the chief of police was made this after noon by J. W. Smith, secret service agent, and W. W. Boisseau, deputy city sergeant, and created a wide spread sensation. For the past six years Stlibling has been living here, no one for a moment suspecting his identity. Ef forts were made a number of times to trace up some shady spot in his east life in criminal trials, but not an inkling of his prison career was brought out. He was first employed as night watchman for the Southern Express Company. About live years ago he was elected as a patrolman on the Danville police force and af ter serving about six months was ad vanced to chief. His advancement was due in a great measure to his cool nerve and fearlessness, though he was critclsed severely for his al most uncontrollable temper. Escaped from Prison. Stripling shot and killed William Comett in Gelrgia and was being held in prison pending a motion for a new trial. His brother-in-law, who was implicated in the killing, was given a long term, but was pardoned. After his escape from prison Strip ling was joined by lils wife and chil dren. He was allowed nearly two hours to-night to bid Ids family fare well at Ids home, but did not break down, even for a moment. The prisoner was taken to Georgia to-night. Before leaving he said he killed Comett for a criminal assault upon bis sister. Stripling hopes to secure a pardon. Wanted for Murder. Atlanta. Ga., March 2. It was J learned to-night that Governor .los. Brown several days ago Issued a re quisition on the Governor of Virginia for tlif rei n rn to Georgia of Edgar Stripling, wanted in Harris county as an escaped murderer. Stribling is wanted for tho murder of W. J. Corneit on September 4th, i*?i7 At his trial ho confessed to shooting Cornell, declaring tho lat ter bad insulted his wife and sister. Ho was sentenced to lifo Imprison ment, but escaped while wailing In tho Harris comity jail for transfer' lo the penitentiary. Ile bas been ;>.. liberty more than fourteen years Stripling Talks. After roaching Atlanta in company with Detective Smith, Stripling talked to reporters, and, among other things, said : "I shot Cornett because be had of fered insults to members of my fam ily and because" be had repeatedly made threats against my life. I lived in fear of him, not the fear of a reward, If yon will pardon that, but lu tho fear that a man experiences when he knows that a desperate man ls hunting for him and will 'get' him Just as soon as he can. '.On tho night of September 4tll, 1 s !? 7, when I shot Cornet t through the window at bis home I had not gone there to look for him. I had been to Ohiploy that day to swear out a peace warrant against, him. When I got to Chiploy I found tho justice i IN THE COU! cent Ammonia, i [ic ordinarv Standard Guano th; id distribute five tons of ordinary jes, to be distributed as follows A TICKET WILL BE ISSUED FO SH OF THF SEASON EACH TICKET BESIDES THIS PARTICULAR HU [?/.: I? |HM- cent Acid Phosphate; 10 ilplmto of Ammonia, Cotton Seed M Nothing hut the host materials usc ut the trade may desire. For furthc ?ENECA FERTI of the peace had closed his o Alee and had gone home, lt was night, and on the way to my house 1 had to pass the house of Cornett. "I was armed, becauso he had made many threats against my life and had said he would shoot me down the moment he saw me. I did not dare go out without a weapon. I knew that on that very afternoon ho had been to my house, had asked for me and had stated to parties that he was looking for me. As 1 approach ed his house, I saw him pass the window by the light on the Inside. It seemed to mo that he reached up for ' something, what it was I do not know, but on the Impulse of the mo ment and impelled by the throats he had made against my life, I shot him from where I stood. I am sorry that I did not meet him in tho rond. Then, perhaps, it would not have been so bad. Says ll II IV Was Not Guilty. "My brother-in-law i Terrell Huff, was jointly Indicted with mo for the j affair and both of us were given life sentences, in spite of the fact that I told the jury that Huff had nothing to do with it. He was used to shield some one else." This last statement of Stripling's caused the reporter to ask if ho was alone when he shot Cornett. "That is a question I would rather not answer," he said. "It probably doesn't matter." Then Stripling resumed the story and told of his escape from the Har ris county jail in March. 1S98, while he was walting for an appeal to be taken to the Supreme Court. "On the night that I escaped," said he, "a negro in the jail broke out. I thought I might as well follow, and I did. "That night I walked about three milos to the home of an uncle, and from there the next day I took a pri vate conveyance from Chipley to Griffin. Then I went by rall to Abbe ville, S. C.; went to a hotel, and as it was Sunday, I went to church that night. Stopped in South Carolina. "From Abbeville I went to Whlt mlre, S. C., whore I superintended a farm for a man named G. S. Spear man. Then 1 went to Southern Pines, where I secured employment until the fruit season was over. "In November, 1898, my wife and three children, (we ?lave ten now, you know), joined nie at Greensboro, N. C., and we went to Danville, where ! I worked awhile as a carpenter. Later I went to Reldsvllle and was employed there for several months. I again went to Greensboro, where I was employed as special agent for : thc Southern. I was sent, back to Danville by the Southern ?is a special agent for that company to break up a gang of robbers, and after succeed ing in thal mission I was offered a place on tho Danville police force in the early part of 1905, I accepted thc placo ns patrolman, ?md nine months laier was elected chief. And I was to have been re-elected chief ? for another term to-night." Herc the prisoner broke down and cobbed bitterly. IVarnillg to Railroad Men.

Qunnah Parker, chief of the Co manche Indians, last of the great In dian braves who once spread terror among white settlers of the great Southwest, considered by many the greatest living blanket Indian of his latter days, is dead. He died at his home, four miles northwest of Cache, fifteen miles west of Lawton, Okla., at the foot of the Wich it as, at 12.l)r> on Thursday, February 23d, from a severe attack of rheumatism, which affected the heart. Pal ker and his family had been on a visit to Hie Cheyenne III diasn, near Hammon. He had been suffering from rheumatism for seve ral weeks and even when he left home was not well. While among the Cheyennes the recent cold wave brought on a return of rheumatism, and, believing his end was near, he ordered his relatives to tiring him home. He arrived at Cache on a stretcher shortly after 1 I, and within twenty minutes after being carried to his home died. Qunnah had been leader since the death or his father. At tho time he was 14 years of age, Chief Nocona called his people together and re quested that his son, Qunnah, be his successor, after ho had proven his right to Hie throne by his bravery. When the young chief became 18 years of age he reorganized Hie tribe and went upon the war path. Three years ago, at the great in ter-tribal council, held at Saddle Mountain, Qunnah was formally elect ed chief of the Comanches, after a Litt orly contested, campaign in which Esch i ti, one of the leading subchiefs, was his principa! opponent. With the death of Parker the Co manches will have to select a new chief. Friends of ISschltt declare he is tile most probable successor of the great Quanah. Hut there are other candidates, chief among whom is Capt. Arrows. Arrows ls the Indian who was chiefly responsible for in ducing Quanah to surrender. While Quanah never had directly professed the religion of his white mother. Cynthia Ann Parker, when near death lie reiterated tho desire, ex piossed at the funeral at tho rebur ial of his,mother's body at Cache De cember 4th last, that he might meet lier with the white man's God in Hie world beyond.
