LUMBERMEN DID NOT COME.

They Are Said to he on a Tour of
Conference With All Lumber In
terests.
The meeting of the lumbermen was not
held here yesterday as was expected. The
party which was to have arrived from
Atlanta did not come, and as nothing def
mite has been heard from them it is not
known just when they will get here. They
may reach the city, however, to-day or to-
morrow.
Among the lumbermen who were gather
ed at the De Soto yesterday were Messrs
l.. N. Dantzler of Mississippi, E. B. Hunt
ing of Baltimore, and John l. Cooney of
New York. They have no definite infor-
nation as to what will be done with re-
gard to the meeting.
1t is said that large party of western
and northwestern lumbermen is simply
making trip through the south and south
east for the purpose of comforting with the
lumbermen generally, and those concerned
in the lumber interests. Nothing definite
seems to be known as to just what they
expect to do.

WYNESS' FIGHT FOR LIFE.
His Physicians Say There Is No Hope
For Him.

]. w. Wyness is still living. The only
thing in his favor however, is the brave
fight which he is making for life His
physicians, Drs. Boyd and Read, give no
hope. The serious character of the
wound, the physicians say, is not in the
fact that the bullet penetrated the left
lung and lodged in the right, but that be-
fore doing so it cut the left axillary ar
terry. This artery seems to have closed
Itself temporarily, but is liable to begin
bleeding at any moment To attempt to
tie the artery in the present condition of
the patient would be a desperate and
probably fatal operation.
