GENUINE TOURNAMENT
Is Likely to be Part of the Fall Fes-
tivaI


The Committee Of Fifteen has arrang-
ed for a meeting this afternoon to con-
slider the question of floats.
The trouble over the floats has prac-
tically been adjusted and Dudley & JOS
Iyn have received assurances that the
committee will take the five floats con-
tracted for. Two have already been
built but they have not been formally
accepted. The formal acceptance of
the floats will be disposed of at the
meeting this afternoon.
The committee will also listen to
proposition of H. Utterman to give
number of sword contests and an old
fashioned tournament. The committee
last year made arrangements for a
jOust and Col. j. w. f. Hughes was
placed in charge but he was called
away and his plans were abandoned.
Mr. Utterman proposes to do some
thing much more ella bOrate than had
ever been contemplated There will be
not only horseback exercises by men in
armOr but swords will be used. Mr..
Utterman is himself master with the
broad sword and he will furnish some
one to contest the hOnOrs with him. He
viii also provide ten or twelve men who
viii fence and give other feats of skill
with weapons.
According TO the plan outlined the en-
tertainment will require about three
hours of time 1t is proposed to charge
admission fee and give the contests
in the quarter stretch before the grand
stand. Otto Kuehne and several other
members of the committee are in favor
of Mr.. Utterman's scheme.
There are several other important
questions that are yet to come before
the committee. That of illuminations is
the most important of all. Kansas ave
nue. should be we'll lighted this year
The night parades suffered during the
Festival last year for a lack of suffi-
cient lights. The number of arc lights
on Kansas avenue should be twice what
it was last year and there should be
other forms of illumination as we'll Two
or three arches we'll lighted are essen
tial to give the city a distinctively hol-
iday appearance and that part of the
work has not yet been touched upon by
the committee
Don't spend all the money for other
things, but see that this feature is pro-
vided for!

HAYTI DISPOSED OF
For Three Years at Least a Moral
Monstrosity is Shut Up.

Judge Hazen today sentenced Hayt1
Weatherly to three years in the peni-
tertiary. Weatherly was brought into
court and Judge HaZen asked his attor-
nev whether a motion would be made
for a new trial. S. S. Urnay said that
nothing would be done. He said that
WeatherIy was under 16 years old and
asked that he be sent to the reforma-
tory.
Judge Hazen, that moves me to mer-
cy Three times since the present coun-
ty attorney has been in office has this
boy been before this court charged with
different crimes. One time, I am sat
isfied that he made an effort to convict
an innocent man of a crime of which
he himself was guilty. I will not send
YOU to the refOrmatory- The only place
that will cure you is the penitentiaTy
and I therefore sentence you to three
years at hard labor in the penitentt-
ary."
The case was commenced and closed
late Saturday afternoon after the Hub
bard case had been disposed of. Deputy
County Attorney Galen Nichols prose
cuted the case in the absence of the
county attorney. The crime was the
theft of three sacks of corn. He broke
open stable door TO get the corn. The
theft was not q great one, but the ne
gro's past history shows he is a con-
firnled thief and a worthless member of
society. Hayti ought never have been
born, but since he is born he should be
shut UP for life. not being fit to asSoci-
ate with his fellow crea lures.

GOLD HOSS'' TO DIE.
Oblivious to the Presence of His Fam
lily, He Recalls Stage Memories.


New York, June 2S.-Poor Bill Hoey,
"O1d Hoss' is obnvious to the present
His shattered mind, feebler even than his
attenuated body, lives only in the past.He
is "Old Hoss'' again, and those who sur
round his bed and care for him are not
his faithful wife and her mother but his
stage associates of a score of years ago.
Today when his wife smoothed the
counterpart above his fevered limbs Bill
looked up with the ghost of a smile and
said thickly. the faculty of speech hav-
ing almost deserted him:
Whore you going with next season,
Haverly?'
1t is fully a dozen years since Jack
Haverly and his minstrels crossed the
professional path of "Old Hoss.''
dozen times today the dying actor
asked for Charley to come and straigh-
ten out some business for him. OF all
the many friends of his past his old part
ner, Charley Evans, has left the deepest
impression his brain.
Poor 'OId HOss'' had an abnormal ap-
petite for conviviality. Latterly he made
practically no resistance to the enemy
and few days ago. IN Mount Clemens,
Mich, he was laid low.
Hanging against the wall of the STAIR
case in the residence of Mrs French,
Mrs. HOeys mother, are several pictures
of Bill and Charley in their famous char
acters. Passing up that staircase today
and into a quiet room with darkened win
dows, one could see on a bed the shadow
of "Old Hoss'-Only a shadow, but still
"Old Hoss." His wife and her mother
stood near while he slept almost for the
first time in several days.
Presently he awoke for a moment and
muttered a name. His wife only was
able to distinguish the sluggish syllables.
They We're those of the name of Char
ley" Then some wholly unintellgtble
mutterings, and "OId Hoss" was uncon-
scious again-mercifully unconscious, for
during the past forty-eight hours he had
been racked by frequent and terrible con-
vuIsions.
Mrs. French said of his condition:
He has been quieter today, but
quires constant attention, his mind ap-
When he says a few words they are in
variably about the stage and his state as
sociates. Sometimes he moves his hands
gracefully-as though in gesticulation.
and we know that he imagines himself on
the stage again. Unless he becomes vio-
lent-which seems unlikely, he is 50 weak
we shall continue to care for him here
at home.''
DR.. Chapman is attending Mr.. Hoey
but was not ready to say more than that
his patient was suffering from paresis.

AT THE CHURCH, DOOR.
A Battle Occurs in Texas Resulting in
the Death of Two Men.

Dallas, June 28.-One of the most SEN
sational tragedies ever enacted in North
Texas took place in the Methodist-E -Epis-
copaI church in Pleasant Valley, Dallas
county, % miles north of this city, in the
course of the services yesterday. AS q
result August Garrison and Frank Jones
are dead and Thomas Jones probably
fatally wounded.
The Garrison and Jones families are
among the most prominent planters in
this section of Texas. They own ad-
joining plantations and have been on
the best of social relations for many
years.
August Garrison was a married man
and had a daughter 16 years old named
Lois. The Jones brothers were single
Frank Jones for year or more had
been very partial in his attentions to
Garrison's daughter. Recently the girl
charged him with having betrayed her
under the promise of marriage. The
matter became a neighbOrhoOd scandal
in Pleasant Valley and Garrison swore
he would have the life of the betrayer
of his daughter.
Mutual friends succeeded in keeping
the men apart until yesterday when the
first meeting between them since the
scandal took place.
The Garrison and Jones families WOr-
ship al the same church.
Just after the preacher had taken his
text after prayer and the singing of a
hymn, Garrison who had a seat near
the door, stepped to the doorway it is
believed to get some fresh air, as the
atmosphere in the building was Oppres-
sive. He had no more than reached
the doorway when the congregation
was startled by fusillade of pistol
shots. Nearly a dozen were fired in
about as many seconds time. When the
firing ceased August Garrison and
Frank Jones were lying dead in front
of the church steps and Thomas Jones
was stretched on the lawn near by, one
hand clasped on his right thigh and in
thigh bone in front was shattered by a
pistol ball that had torn its way down
ward, mutilating the flesh for a distance
of six inches.
His statemtn of the shooting was
brief and in substance that he and his
brother Frank were approaching the
church door and were within 10 feet of
it when Garrison appeared and instant
ly drew his pistol.
His brother Frank he said, was hit
by the first discharge and before he
could draw his weapon Thomas drew
his pistol and opened fire on Garrison
in defense of his brother Frank. Garri-
son, after Frank fell, opened fire on him
CThomas) Frank Jones was shot three
times, once in the region of the heart,
onctNN;n the right side and once in the
head Garrison received but one bullet
and that pierced his heart. Thomas
Jones is not expected to recover from
his wounds
