Eh?*v An interesting feature of the hearing
was the introduction of the Shijti^vloh

glpS "I believe that the Rev. Frank

against Mrs. Mattie Chestnut. The
girl said her father is a rich distiller

to her story, urging her to

?F> Mrs. Chestnut made complete denial
of the girl's story and said she
mP came of her free will and had never

out after a raid on the Chestnut
SIS house. Chief Jackson says he thinks
the girl truthful and as it is an interstate
affair the federal prosecutors
will have an opportunity to make a

DEER HOTTER KILLS TWO MEN.
r
New Jersey Man Shot in Direction of
\T??t tn Toil
ui trtui. J
Mays Landing, N. J., Nov. 1.? i
Eager to have a shot at a deer, which
he supposed was coming down an unused
road in the gloom of the early
dawn to-day, Charles Norcross, of
Iona, N. J., fired into a party of four
other hunters, killing two and seriously
wounding a third. The dead
are:
Conrad Steelman, 28 years old, of
Pleasantville, N. J.; John Yost, 32,
Pleasantville. Injured: Wm. Jarvis,
Pleasantville. 7
Norcross is in the Atlantic county
jail here, awaiting the action of
the coroner. 'He is badly broken up
over his fatal mistake.
According to Norcross's statement,
made to a justice of the peace,
at Mintola, he was standing behind
some underbrush at the side of a
road when he heard a noise. Not
thinking that any other hunters were
in the vicinity, and believing that
the sound came from a deer walking
down the road, Norcross says he raised
his gun and fired one barrel of
buckshot in the direction of the
noise. Before he could lower his
gun there was a shriek and, jumping
out of the underbrush, he was horrified
to see three men lying in the
road. Relaizing in an instant the
terrible mistake he had made Norcross
went for the other members
of his party and the three injured
men were placed in the automobile
and rushed to Pleasantville. One of
the victims died in six minutes and
the other lived 25 minutes.
, Norcross comes from a respectable
family. He Is said to be a man of
good habits, is married and has two
children. The victims were strangers
to him.
Sensational Report.
Birmingham, Ala., Nov. 1.?The
most sensational grand jury report
in many years was submitted to the
Jefferson county criminal court here
to-day and while 35 indictments
were returned the names of none of
the men indicted had been made
public to-night pending the service
papers.
The report hinges on irecent allegations
that certain officeholders
have influenced corporations to hold
back their tax assessments until the
officials can proceed against them
and get commission for such extra
taxes.
It is also charged in the report
that out of 24,502 registered voters
in the county 9,493 are disqualified
; and it finds that many illegal votes
i were cast in recent elections. The
j report calls the conditions "a disgrace
to civilization," says there
i have been six assassinations at
Lewisburg in two years and not a
single man convicted and all witnesses
intimidated against the peace
system of the county as an "outrage."
The grand jury was composed of
some of the most prominent men in
the county.

Everybody in Sight.
New Orleans, Nov. 1.?Policemen
George A. Roussell and Joseph Lacoste
were fatally wounded, and
three citizens, Joe Spencer, Washington
Lawrence and John McGheavy,
badly beaten up to-day when an unknown
negro, armed with revolvers,
:ran amuck on the Algiers Ferry landing,
across the Mississippi river from
this city. The negro finally was killed
by citizens, who came to the assistance
of the wounded officers.
The shooting, took place just as the
ferry reached the Algiers landing.
Declaring that he would "get a ?
white man," the ndgro fired five shots
promiscuously, Preloading his pistol
and drawing a second one, started
up the ferry landing, firing right
and left. Officers Lacoste and Roussell
were shot through the body and
nearby citizens opened fire on the
negro. Without attempting to reload
his revolvers, the negro attacked by
i?xx j ~c
stanaers witn me ouu euu ui uus
weapons, and clubbed three before he
fell dead, his body riddled by several
bullets.
Fear Lynching of Negro.
Washington, Ga., Oct., 31.?J. B.
Walker, the self-confessed negro
murderer of G. S. Hollenshead in
Wilkes county Saturday afternoon,
who has already escaped a mob of
150 men, is now in the custody of
Sheriff Bobo, of Wilkes, but there is
every indication that a determined
effort will be made to-night to take
him from the hands of the law and
finish the unsuccessful job of Saturday
night.
It is reported Sheriff Bobo and
deputies are hurrying the negro from
Lincolnton to Augusta, and that a
large mob, maDy of them in automobiles,
is in pursuit. It is believed that
if the sheriff fails to get hie -prisoner
over the muddy roads safely into Augusta
ahead of the mob a lynching
will be certain. Feeling is very high
in Lincoln county, as well a9 Wilkes,
and it is believed that Lincoln county
men are the pursuers.
Seven Girls Perish.
Chehalis, Wash., Nov. 1.?Fire
which destroyed the powder factory
of the Imperial Powder company
here late to-day caused seven yuuu?
women employed in the factory to
lose their lives and an eighth probbly
will die.
Only two girls escaped although a
dozen men are unhurt.
The cause of the fire is a mystery.
The girls were hurled together and
owing to the rapid spread of the
flames could not escape from behind
a counter where they were working.
Four of the company's buildings
were destroyed together with equipment
and many tons of manufactured
powder. The loss is $20,000 or
more.

YOUNG MAN KILLED IN CHASE.
Attempted to Pursue Alleged Burglars
and is Shot.
New Orleans, Nov. 1.?Edgar H.
Farrar, Jr., son of Edgar H. Farrar,
former president of the American
Bar Association, was shot and killed
here when he gave chase to two men
who are alleged to have robbed the
Farrar home last night. Leon Canton,
alias J. C. Holmes, and Lucien
Canton, brotners, aged 23 and 21
respectively, who were captured after
an exciting chase immediately
following the shooting, are both being
held by the police, who state that
the men confessed both to the robbery
of the Farrar home and the killing
of young Farrar.
\1>. Farrar was on his way to his
office in the Hibernia Bank building,
when two men at the intersection
of Magnolia and Pension streets,
were pointed out to him as the men
who broke into the Farrar home.
Mr. Fartrar started in pursuit. One
of the two men fired at him, and
as he fell to the street dead both
flashed away. A crowd of citizens
immediately started in pursuit, and
mounted policemen joined in the
chase. Theopolus Rodgers, a negro,
captured Lucien Canton, and Leon
was taken in custody by the policemen
a few minute# later.
The prisoners were taken before
the district attorney, where, according
to the police, they confessed to
the crime, and admitted that they
had robbed the Farrar home. Policemen
visited the Canton home and
found the articles stolen from the
Farrar residence.
Edgar H. Farrar, Jr., was 32 years
of age, and had been married only
five months. He was a member of
the law firm of which his father is
the senior member.
$6,000 for a Calf.
Milwaukee, Wis., Oct. 30.?The
price of $6,000 agreed upon between
W. H. Tichnor, of Oconomowoc, Wis.,
and F. L. Ames, of North Easton,
Mass., for the purchase of a calf, is
probably the highest on record. The
peculiar feature of the contract is
that the calf is yet unborn, though
visit of the stork to the stall of
the famous Dolly is expected in the
near future.
Dolly is considered by experts to
be the most valuable Guernsey cow
in the world and has attracted a great
deal of attention at the international
dairy show here.
Well-posted dairymen declare that
the price is a record-breaker, aside
from the conditions under which the
contract was made.
Postoffice Made Profit.
Washington, Nov. 1.?For the first
time since 1893 the postoffice department,
during the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1911, was conducted at a
profit. In 24 months the conduct of
)the postal service has resulted in
changing a deficit of $17,479,770 for
the fiscal year 1909 to a surplus of
$219,118 for the fiscal year 1911.
