Southern DesperadOes Attempt to
Assassinate an Editor - Pros
poets of a Lynching.

Southern DesperadOes Attempt to
Assassinate an Editor 49, Pros
poets of a Lynching.
ADMISSION, Ala, Oct. Sat 2:30
O'Clock this afternoon an attempt was
made to assassinate w. II. Edmonds,
the editor of the Hot Blast, in his office.
The trouble grew out of the enmity
aroused by the Hot Blasts war in favor
of rigid enforcement of the prohibit
ton laws. A week ago four eX-police-
men, who had been discharged for IN
efficiency, waylaid Editor Edmonds,
and one of them jumped on
him and beat him severely, Mr.. Ed
monds making such resistance as he
could. An OutrageOusly false account
of the affair was sent to the Montgom-
cry Dispatch, rejecting seriously upon
Mr.. EdmOnds, who replied through the
Dispatch, pronouncing the author a liar
and charging him with cOwardice in
sending forth such falsehood unsigned.
1t was developed that the correspondent
of the Dispatch was j. S. Lawrence, a
justice of the peace. This afternoon
Lawrence, accompanied by Will Lacey,
entered the Hot Blast office, in
which, at the time, were Mr.. Ed
monds, John Coppell, the mailing
clerk, and A. Tripney, who had come
in on business. Lawrence called Mr..
EdmondS outside where some cOnver-
sation was held in reference to the COM
municatiOn, and Lawrence demanded
retractiOn of EdmOndS' card, prOnOunc-
ing him liar. Mr.. Edmonds said there
was nothing to retract, when Lawrence
if Edmonds was armed, to which a
negative reply was made, when Lacey
said, neither is Lawrence" at the
same time trying to get behind Mr..
Edmonds, who then began to back into
his office. AS he partially turned,
fire was opened upon him. He was
shot in the left arm, at the elbow, and
seriously wounded. Lacey attempted
to shoot again, but his pistol snapped,
which probably saved Mr.. EdmOnds'
life. The would-be assassin then fired
at Mr.. Coppell and Mr.. Tripney. The
former was shot through the neck, and
the latter received two wounds in the
head, both serious. The parties es-
capped, but were subsequently captured
and turned over to the sheriff on state
warrants, and taken to Jacksonville,
Ala. The feeling in the city is
has been INDUCED in. Never were the
people more thoroughly aroused. Mr..
Edmonds is doing well and it is hoped
that no serious results will follow his
wounds. The shooting of Mr.. Coppell
and Mr.. Tripney was malicious and un-
provoked. A mass meeting of citizens
will be held tomorrow, when plan Of
action will be decided upon to rid the
city of these desperadoes. Tonight the
city is in tumult of excitement and in
dlgnation. Lawrence's report to the
Despatch is universally condemned as
unwarranted, false and malicious.

CHICAGO, Oct. SIT was announced
this morning that the North Side Car
company would start its cars at Z o'clock
sharp. Long before that hour great
Gro WdS began to gather around the
"LimitS" barns, eager to see anything
in the way of excitement. Promptly at
the hour named three cars of the
Limits" and Lincoln park line left the
Limits" barns. They were manned
each by two drivers, a conductor and
ten policemen. Surrounding the barns
and forcing back the surging crowd Of
strik ers which filled the opposite side
of the street, were $50 policemen from
Chicago and so from Lake View. At
7:30 o'clock six cars were started out on
Clark street. These were escorted in
the same manner as the others. Hardly
had they gone lew blocks when an
unknown imported driver broke from
the car and took to the woods. Another,
named Albert Mccoy, from Philadel-
phia, followed his fellow driver. When
seen afterward he was affected to tears,
and claimed that he did not know that
there was a strike, and that he would
NEVER TAKE THE BREAD
out of another mans mouth. Six cars
were started from the Sedgwick street
barns under strong police escort and
run safely to Washington street with
out escort. There was no attempt on
the part of the strikers to interfere
with the cars.
The committee which President
Yerkes refused to receive this afternoon
did not, as was expected, order an i'm
mediate strike on the West side lines,
but after remaining in session until 5
o'clock. decided to submit its report to
full meeting of the men and allow
them to decide upon the action to be
taken. Mr.. Yerkes had in the mean
time, however, called upon the mayor
and as result of the conference agreed
to meet committee from the strikers;
stipulating only that the committee
must be composed of actual street car
men. He also agreed, at the mayors
suggestion, to dispense with the private
detectives who have been employed
about the barns of the railway company.
The mayor told him that the city police
were abundantly able to take care Of
the strike, and that until there were
further developments it was not neces-
sary to call in outside help. This action
will have good effect, as the presence
of the detectives was highly irritating
of the men.
