FRANKLIN, Ind, Oct. AT Amity, five
miles south of this city. Albert Dinn post
master and merchant was shot and fatally
wounded at o'clock this evening by Joe
Horton, a kentuckian, who has been in this
county the past two years The wounded
man cannot live until morning. The men
had not been on the best of terms for some
time, and tonight Horton went TO Dinn's
and asked the latter to sell him some pigs.
They went to the barn TO look at the stock
and a price vas quoted by Dim. 1t was
thought eXorbitant by Horton and he be-
gan cursing the merchant and finally drew
his knife, whereupon Dim struck him
twice. Horton left, but in q short time re-
turned and began cursing Dim once more
and daring him to defend himself. Dim
finally, in defense, struck him again, and
Horton drew his revolver and fired. Dim
sank to the ground, blood squirting from
a wound in his side Several men We're
present, but either thinking they had no
right to arrest the murderer or fearing
him, as he was armed and known TO be
desperate, allowed him to escape. He went
home, got his overcoat and took to the
woods.
Officers in this city were notified and a
posse left for the scene at once. Blood
hounds were also sent for. and with these
the woods are being secured. Trains are
being stopped and searched at Edlnburg
and Franklin. There is a dense thicket in
the neighborhood of Amity and the muir
derer is probably hiding there and will
likely be run down before morning. There
is great excitement in Amity and vicinity.
Horton is said to have figured in ugly
scrapes in Kentucky.

LEXINGTON, KY, Oct. 9-Weather,
track, attendance and the character of the
sport combined to make this a gala day
IN the meeting of the Kentucky Trotting
Horse Breeders Association. Helen p, who
had won the first of the three heats paced
yesterday in the 2:17 class for PAGERS, fin
lshed the race in two heats to-day driven
out by Bourbon r. and White Hose. The
unfinished 221 class for trotters, in which
hve heats had been trotted yesterday, was
taken by Zyepha, after Directory had won
the sixth heat and Kenny had been substi-
tuted for Mcintosh behind Zyepha.
The Ashland stake was the feature of the
day, and was an upset for the talent who
played Ellorree against the field. In the
first heat Fred 3. led until the stretch was
reached, when Praytell came with a rush
and won by one length from Derby Prin-
cess. The second heat was contest from
start to finish, Que Allen finally winning
from Ellorree in a hard drive. The grey
gelding Pilot Boy then took the next three,
after a spirited finish with Fred B. and
Athanio. Baron Rogers was in a pocket
all the way down the home stretch or he
would have won the fourth heat Ellorree
did not seem to have her speed and could
not get in front at any time.
In the 2:O9 pacing race Ananias was the
favor1te, but failed to get in front to-day
and the race goes over until Monday with
Gazette, Choral, Sherman Clay and Bessie
Bonehill each winner of heat The PA
class for trotters also goes over until Mon
day.

Siam viii Apologize.

WASHINGTON Oct. 9.--United States
Minister Barrett, at Bangkok, has reported
to the State Department by cable that he
has met with complete success in his eff
fort to secure reparation for the treatment
accorded United States Vice Consul Kelett
last spring by the local Siamese authori-
ties. kellett's servant was arrested by the
native troops, who act as police in the town
of Chiangmai, where the vice consul had
gone to look into the Cheek claim. Upon
interfering in behalf of his servant, the
vice consul was i'll treated. Taking adj
vantage of treaty provision that affords
protection to this class of servants in such
cases, Minister Barrett demanded repara-
ton. An investigation was ordered by the
Siamese government and Mr.. Barrett ac-
companied the commission UP into the
country to investigate. He had just re-
turned to Bangkok and reports that the
assault was proved, though Kellett had
been imprudent. The government recalled
to Bangkok the captain, lieutenant and
four soldiers who participated in the af-
fair reprimanded them and suspended them
for long time The viceroy of Chiangmai
had been cautioned against a repetition of
the trouble and the Siamese government
itself, Mr.. Barrett cabled, would express
regret at the occurrence. This may be re-
garded as closing satisfactorily the incident
which caused the dispatch of a United
States war ship to Bangkok last spring.

DRAGGED BY THE HEELS.
Alleged Brutal Treatment of Pri-
waite mt Fort Sheridan.

CHICAGO, Oct. 10.-The Tribune to-day
prints a story to the effect that Captain
Lowering, of the Fourth Infantry, stationed
at Fort Sheridan, caused Private Charles
Hammond, of the same regiment, to be
dragged over the ground by a rope for a
distance of six hundred yards, badly in
juring him 1t is said that Hammond had
been absent from the post without leave,
and was under arrest in the guardhouse.
He was ordered by Captain lowering, who
was acting as officer of the day, to leave
the guardhouse and appear before court
which to adjudge his case, along with
other petty offenders. Hammond refused
to leave the guardhouse, and the story goes
Lowering ordered a number of soldiers to
tie him and drag him before the court.
Hammond, it is said. was thrown down,
bound and then dragged by the heels be-
fore the court. The distance was six hun
dred yards, and Hammond was in a badly
used-up condition when he arrived at the
bar of justice. General Brooke, command
ing the Department of the Missouri said
tonight that he had not heard the story,
and placed no reliance in it whatever. He
expressed himself as being confident that
it would be found untrue.

Mr. Lieber, president of the II. Leber Art

RECORD-BREAKING WEEK
THE LOADED-CAR MOVEMENT Ex-
CEEDs ALL FORMER EXHIBITS.
The Big Four PrOper) Earned Nearly
S1,4OO,OOO in September-Heavy
Business on the VandaIia.

The train records show that in the week
ending Oct. 8 there were received and for
warded 27,688 cars, 21,575 being loaded, the
heaviest loaded car movement in the history
of Indianapolis lines. Never before has the
loaded car movement exceeded 1000 cars.
In the corresponding week of 1896 the loaded
car movement was very heavy it being a
week just previous to an advance in east
bound rates, as was the case last week.
The average October movement in years
past has ranged between 1900 and II 900
loaded cars. 1900 to 5000 below those of the
week ending Oct. 8 this year. East-bound
there is a heavy grain movement to all sea-
board points, and at the same time Of all
other classes of freight. Cotton is now
coming forward in considerable quantities.
The east-bound movement of loaded cars
over the Panhandle and the Bee-line di-
vision is at its maximum and taxing both
to their highest power limit. The Panhandle
forwarded east from Indianapolis ], 900 load
ed cars and brought in 1858; the Bee-line
forwarded 1,640, against LILO brought in.
Both lines are carrying heavy tonnage OF
grain, dressed meats, live stock and pro-
visions, and the shipments of -four are in
creasing. In west-bound business last week
there was perceptable increase over that
of the week ending Oct. 2, both in the
higher class and lower class freights. The
shipments west of heavy groceries, glass,
nails and railway supplies are. seldom as
heavy as at present. The north-and-south
roads are doing a heavy business. The
loaded car movement of the j., M. q l., the
Louisville division of the Pennsylvania lines,
was the largest last week of any week in
many years, the road forwarding from this
point $50 and bringing in 507 loaded cars.
The Monon and the Cincinnati, Hamilton &
Dayton came near handling at this point
their maximum number. The Big Four
lines handled at Indianapolis last week Lose
more cars than in the corresponding week
of 1886. Local business is nearing its largest
volume. AT the city freight depotS the
number of platform men has been increased,
and working overtime is almost nightly
occurrence The packing houses are doing
moro than in any former October, and at
the stock yards big business is in progress
With each week local manufacturers are
shipping more goods, and the business OF
Indianapolis proper the present month bids
fair to be the largest and most satisfactory
of any October since 1892. Below is given
the car movement for the week ending
Oct. and for the corresponding period OF
1906 and 1Sq5.
