IXFKKXAL MACHINE HOAX.
Washington Story Outgrowth of Juke
on Green Keixtrter.
. Washington, D. C. Hazing of a
green reporter by a veteran White
House newspaperman has been giv
en as the solution of a story sent
broadcast over the country by spec
ial dispatches and a certain news
agency, and printed in many morn
ing papers, to the effect that an in
fernal machine had been sent to
President Taft and that Assistant
Secretary Sherman Allen, in opening
it, had narrowly escaped death.
When the new reporter entered
the executive offices Thursday night
he was asked: "Did you get the
infen.al machine story?" He said
he hail not, and then, with great de
tail, he was told the yarn.
When the young man became ex
cited the hoaxers told him the whole
thing was a joke, but the report al
ready had spread throughout the
country through his agency. All at
tempts by the secret service to "kill"
the report then only aroused further
suspicion, and the story was widely
credited; the White House was de
luged with telegrams from far and
near and the wildest rumors devel
oped. The original report was that Al
len's hands had been badly burned
when he grasped the sputtering fuse
of the infernal machine, but the
hands of the assistant secretary ex
hibited no scars. And the White
Home newspapermen, including the
hoaxed reporter, were asked to cir
culate a declaration that the White
House did not wish to dignify such
an absurd report by an official de
nial. EAGLK POINT, ITKMS.
Editor Tidings: As you were kind
enough to publish an article I sent
you some time ago, I thought that
perhaps it might be well to try your
patience again.
Since I last wrote there have been
no special changes in Eagle Point,
although there is considerable busi
ness being done. Since my last,
Louis Smith and Mrs. Dasey Evans
went to Ashland to visit her mother,
and Roy Willets and his brother
Merle have been to Ashland on busi
ness that is, Roy went on business
and his brother went to keep him
company, . while on the road. Roy
Willets is the contractor for carrying
the mail from here to Prospect.

will become a power for good. He is
successor to Rev. Lamar, who has
been pastor here for some time and
who now has charge of the church
in Central. Point.
Mr. A. Corbin, the man who bought
the old Bradshaw orchard between
here and Brownsboro, is having the
