Mrs. jerks on the War Path.

The Noakum Herald of last Fri
day has the following to say;
Late this afternoon consider
able number of people were thrown
into a high state of excitement by
IA report that Mrs. Cora jerks, ac-
,companied by her uncle, w. w.
Martin, had called on several citi-
,aens and compelled them to sign
uallidavits either retracting state
ments that they had made concern
ing herself and ex-Conductor
Charles G. Niles or giving their
authority for such statements. AS
the Herald goes to press Mrs. jerks
ard MIR. Martin are looking for
,other persons who have made
statements or written letters in re-
gard to Niles and Mrs. jerks.
The letters for which she demands
satisfaction she has in her posses
sion.
Although it has not been gen.
Ierally known that Mrs. jerks was
i'm the city, she has been here for
several days, having driven over
from Flatonia one morning before
daylight. Last Saturday she sold
her residence on Nelson street to
Mrs. l., B. Powell, of Birmingham,
Alabama, lady who was visiting
here, and some thought that she
would leave as silently as she had
come, but it now appears that j
she has any intention of leaving
hhe city she Mt least means to first
do all in her power to disprove the
scandalous reports that have been
circulated.
After compelling certain persons
down town to sign aliidavits, Mrs
jerks and her uncle went dowr
through the railroad yards and tC
the depot. looking for certain per
sons at those places. The ones
who were wanted had been fore
warned, however, and when they
saw Mrs. jerks coming two of then
hid themselves in outbuildings

DASHED TO DEATH.
A Fatal Horse Race at Yellow
Banks Yesterday.

Yesterday morning Rudolph
Bolsom, q young Bohemian who
worked on a farm Mt Yellow Banks,
was riding race with another
party when his horse became un-
manageable and ran away, or at
least swerved from the course,
carrying him at full speed toward
bent tree, the trunk of which was
not high enough from the ground
to allow both horse and rider to
pass under. Bolsom frantically
underworld to change the course Of
the horse, but could not do so, the
animal appearing to have the bit
in his teeth. There was no time
TO jump and he lay fiat down over
the pommel of the saddle. Even
then he was too high to pass safely
under and the tree struck him on
the back of the head, breaking bis
skull. 1t also mashed him down
so hard upon the back of the horse
that the pommel of the saddle
broke his breast bone.

accident and then succumbed A

THE COLUMBIA HEARING.
Simonton Desires to See Transcript or
Record Before Deciding.

Record Before Deciding.
Fnasmuch as there has been some diff
ference rs to the accuracy Of the News
and Observers account of the hearing
before Judge Simonton on Thursday at
Columbia. we give below the account
that appeared in the State, published
at Columbia:
"Though it was Thanksgiving day Uni
ted States Circuit Judge Simonton went
to the United States court room yester-
day and heard the argument of the at
torneys in regard to the requiring Of wiz
nesses before the special master in the
matter of the lease of the North Caro-
lima railroad by the Southern Railway
to answer certain questions.
''The matter was fully and freely ar
gued. Ex-Secretary OF the Treasury
Carlisle and the North Carolina attor-
neys associated with him appeared in
behalf of the Southern Railway. Judge
Avery represented the North Carolina
State authorities. During the progress
of the hearing, after it had been practi-
cally agreed by both sides that certain
question in regard to the overhearing of
a conversation on the train, in which
Mr.. Carlisle was said to have been a
party, should not be asked, Mr.. Carlisle
rose and insisted that the witness be
forced to answer the question. The dis
tinguished attorney grew eloquent upon
the subject and there was an interesting
colloquy between Mr.. Carlisle and Judge
Avery, the latter referring to the Ken
tuckian as the 'tGreat Commoner. -
Judge Avery stated that they had ascer-
tanned that Mr.. Carlisle was not a party
to the conversation and it gave him
pleasure, to say that the question did not
reflect upon Mr.. Carlisle's integrity.
'After it was all over Judge Simon
ton announced that he wished to see the
transcript of the record of the case be-
fore he announced his action in regard
to these matters"

using the name of Judge Avery for thai
