KILLED WHILE ASLEEP.
An Unknown Man Run Over by Columbus
and Western Train at Avon
dale

man by the name of Stokes was
killed last night about 7:30 o'clock in the
railroad yards near Avondale. 1t Is
said that he was asleep on the track and
that the engineer of Columbus and
Western train did not see him until 1t
was too late to stop. Last night, when
seen at Warner & Smiley's undertaking
establishment, the body of the unfortu-
nate man presented a horribly mutilated
appearance. Up to a late hour last night
no one had identified the remains.
A State Herald reporter was told that
Stokes was drayman and that he leaves
a wife who lives near Avondale.
The railroad officials at the Kansas
City depot, who receive the Columbus
and Western trains, would give out moth
ing definite concerning the affair other
than an intimation that the man was
stealing la ride and fell from the train.
The body in the undertaking shop was
dressed more Nike a tramp than laborer
and the hands bore no evidence OF hard
work

Hot Springs, Oct. 21.-At conference
between the Florida Athletic club officials
and the managers of Corbett and Fitz-
simmons, the club asked for postpone
ment of the contest to November IL.
Brady agreed to this. but Julian stead
tasty refused to concur. There was a
wordy wrangle, and finally the club de-
clared the fight off. Brady then an
nounced that Corbett was prepared to
fight any man In the world on November
IL, Robert FitZsimmons preferred, the
man to be named in twenty-four hours.
At the conclusion of the talk Martin
Julian, Fitzsimmons' manager, said: Il
did all could to make a satisfactory ar
rangement, but the Corbett people would
not listen to reason. l offered to let FitZ
fight Corbett in private for the side bet,
but they would not agree to 1t. They
wanted a postponement until November
II. which was merely another way OF say
ing that they did not mean to fight at all.
OF course l declined to listen to the post
ponement. Vendig and his crowd tried
their best to job us, but we would not
have it."
Brady, on the other hand, charges That
Julian fiuked and that he would not
have agreed to anything Except title
to the whole state of Arkansas, with
Governor Clarks officers to step IN, as
he expressed it.

WILL MYERS HAS ESCAPED,
The Murderer of Forrest Crowley Made Sue
cessful Dash for liberty-he Is
Still at Large.

Atlanta, Oct. 21.-Will Myers, under
sentence of death, dashed out of the coun-
ty Jail at 4;05 O'Clock this afternoon and
is still at liberty. He was tracked eight
blocks but at Washington and Richard
son streets the trail was lost.
The escape was well planned. His
purpose was known a week ago, it is said,
to his friends. A woman named Mrs.
E. G. Kellam, who says she is a spirual-
list, called to see Myers this afternoon.
He was taken into the sheriffs office.
Jailer Mardis and Bafliff Pollock were
in the room with the woman and the pris-
oner. Mardis went out to bath his hands,
he says. Suddenly Myers jumped up,
pointed a pistol at Pollock and ran out.
He made good speed to a coal yard two
blocks off, where he grabbed up handful
of coal dust and blacked his face. Myers
ran block further, jumped some fences
and soon disappeared
reward of $500 is offered for his ar
rest. Myers is about 20 years old. smooth
shaver and compactly built. He killed
Forrest Crowley, a cotton manufactures,
in August, 1893, and fled to Cincinnati,
where he was captured. The motive for
the murder was robbery.

spondence. To-day marked the beginning
of the many days that will follow during
which the new administration of our city
government will receive the severe crit
icism of a good many of our citizens, and
the reason is that on this day the water
from our public well that has flown free
ly for seven years was shut off and turn
ed into the reservoirs at the water works
station. 1t is to be regretted that some
notice could not have been given so that
we could have provided ourselves with
enough water to last a day or two, for In
some instances citizens who have been
depending on this water are without this
necessary beverage altogether, and will
continue so until the system is in running
order. That is, they will not be without
water, but will have to depend on their
friends who have cisterns on their prem
Uses But all this inconvenience will only
have to ne endured for a week or two
as by that time we will be getting full
supply of the same artesian water. that
we have grown to loye so well.
Excavations for the new Webb build
ing have been going on rapidly, and
mountains of dirt now adorn the corner
of Washington and Strawberry streets.
This will be soon cleared, however, and
the spot will be marked by the handsom-
est three-story building in the south.
The new hose carts for the Eagle Hook
