Mr. Lundy resided on Gajdsden

about 43 years, a prominent farmer
of Walnut Grove section ot the coun
ty, and his son, All»ert, aged 12 years,
were killed by lightning Thursday
afternon about ,3 o'clock. The young
daughters of,Mr. Cole were shocked
7>y the stroke—of lightning. It Is
reported that the little daughter, 9
years of age. Is in a serious condi
tion as the result of the shock. Mr,
Cole was in the act of lowering a
window’ when the flash came killing
him and his son Instantly.
terlng step
Ivovlny hands served Ice water to
the old men as thej^passed along
the route, fans wer^ disturbed and
everything possible was done to re
lieve the long tramp of Its tedium.
That the heroes were in excellent
spirits was shown by the fact that
many of them sang old camp songs
as they marched, such as “Butter
milk Cavalry," “Old Time Confeder
ates," "Bonnie Blue Flag.”
They were happy and they, left a
trail of tears among the spectators,
for every one was touched by the
sentimental appeal made by the ap
pearance of the old soldiers. There
were many in the parade who had
left a leg. or perhaps !>oth legs, on
some battlefield, but (hey enjoyed
the occasion as much as the others,
being Carried In vehicles. Their ap
pearance drew forth, if anything;
greater applause than the sight of
the foot soldiers.
The parade formed shortly after
1 U o’clock and required one hour and
45 minutes to pass a given point.
The route was from Sixth avenue on
Nineteenth street to First avenue, to
Twenty-first street, to Fifth avenue,
to Twentieth street, to First avenue,
countermarching on Twentieth street
to Capitol park, where the reviewing
stand was located. In the vanguard
were eight companies of the local
National Guard, Including one bat
tery of artillery and one troop of
cavalry. Chattanooga had one troop
of “Cavalry In line. Gov. B. B. Com
er of Alabama with hts entire staff
was neft‘ in line. Gen. G. P. Har
rison, commander of the Alabama
divisipd. was chief marshal, and Col.
K. J. McCrossin of Birmingham was
chief aide.
Feature of Parade,
The veterans of the department of
the'Tennessee headed the line of vis
itors of honor, these being followed
by the Trans-Mississippi and the
Army of Northern Virginia. Among
the more conspicuous companies were
the Forrest cavalry corps, mounted,
and the mounted troop from Nash
ville which has attracted a great deal
of attention during the reunion.Thes®
companies are regular members of
the National Guard, being the only
Confederate body to ha*e that distinc
tion.
Memphis representatives also came
in for great applause. They were ac
companied by the Crack fife and
drum corps, which helped to give the
martial atmosphere. Probably jio
one person In the parade attracted
more attention than the handsome
Mias Tommy Gentry, a fnlJMooded
Indian maiden who accompanied the
Indian Territory department as spon
sor. Her escort, was Adjt. Gen. Cole-
mau.
Gen. Clement A. Evans, the new
commander-in-chief, wasat the head of
the column with the entire staff.
The Sons of Veterans followed the
veterans and tbey were accompanied
;47y their sponsors. A noticeable fea
ture of the parade was the fact that
n number of the sponsors preferred
to walk with the companies they rep
resented rather than ride in the car*

■v It was simply because of a chance
resemblance to a forger that‘’Rush
has heeih made to suffer every men
tal anguish the .law can inflict short
of hanging. In face, figure, manner
and even voice, Mr. Rush resemblesa
forger, badly wanted by the police
of a score of cities, who has been
traveling oyer the country for sev
eral years, leaving a trail of worth
less paper and duped victims. Up
wards of 100 persons have declared
on oath that they knew him, and
clamored for his conviction. His re
latives and lawyers have grown sus
picious In the face of the Memend-
ous pile of clrcumstpnt;.•! evidence
that has piled up ac-mst him.
Evangelists have prayed over him in
prison, and then tn^ned away in Au
gust, pronounced him a hardened
sinner because he refused to confess
to crimes of whiclw-be knew nothing. 1
Yet In the end Rush has been ac
quitted by an alibi so certain that
his prosecutors have been made to
look jtdiculous.
It is nearly a year since Mr. Rush
went West to find his remarkable
crime record awaiting him. It was
In Cincinnati that he was arrested
last September, and when he was
taken to Jail the police told him, to
his astonishment, that he was John
F. Blair, alias John L. Baldwin, alias
Boyd G. Clark, alias F. N. Rush,
alias S. S. Pickney. and that he was
wanted for forgery in Chicago and
several other cities.
He was actually taken to Chicago,
where his troubles began. Cast in
ail. he was speedily overwhelmed
with such a mass of identifications,
crimes and evidence that his bal was
set at a prohibitive figure, and he
languished five month in his cell
while the prosecution was building
up a case aganst him. When the
trial finally arrived Rush was posi
tively identified as the slick forger
by a score of persons who had been
duped. The array of witnesses pro
duced against him proved so c,>n
vlncing to the jury that he was actua’
ly found guilty. But a doubt had
been raised in the judge's mind, and
he was let off with a morith’s im
prisonment and a fine of $500.
Hut he was no sooner released
than he was re-arrested on warrents
from otlfer cities and was cast into
jail again. He was confined in a
dungeon.for three days with the rats

Rush set altout to establsh an alibi,
hi rebuttal of the five days evidence
FUhmitte.d by the district atfornev
supplemented by a four hour speech
from that official. Rush presented his
simple alibi to the Jury, and waa ac
quitted in 11 minutes. Later he
showed to the entire satisfaction of
the Chicago authoMties that he was
victim of the most remarkable case
of mistaken identity on record in
that city. But he is living In constant
fear of arrest In other cities which he
visits in his business of traveling re-

York drug firm.
The “Great White Plague” seems
likely to lose some of its greatne&a
as the result of the national ctfAren-
tion of the American Anti-Tubereq-,
losis League which closed W StTKnla
recently. The principal demand of
the convention was for legislation
against defective .cows, it being as
serted that about 99 per cent of the
consumptives in the United States
contract their tuberculosis in raw
milk.
Opposing factions, one advocating
the isolation plan for the treatment
of consumptives and the other defend
ing the present policy of treating the
disease in cities, were in combat at
the closing session. The controversy
assumed the form of a debate^Or.
Walter G. Tyzzer, superintendent-of
the ^layfield Sanitarium, of St. Louts,
representing the isolation advocates,
and Dr. Joseph E. Chambers, presi
dent of the Hippocratean College of
Medicine, of St. Louis,' representing
the other faction. The subject of
the debate was:
,T Re»olved, That tuberculosis can
be more effectively treated in the
isolated arid regions than in hospi
tals in cities."
