Dead, Then Grabbed Another Rig
ano Escaped the Law-Bloodhounds
Were Founo Shot to Death.

Nashville, Tenn. Oct ga des-
pelate man fought his way clear OF
two city detectives here yesterday
and, after a thrilling chase, made good
his escape. In his race for liberty he
utilized two-horse wagon team, a
horse and buggy and riding horse.
all forcibly taken, while two dead
bloodhounds mark the first portion of
his trail.
Officers believe the man is one of
the gang that held up the Great
Northern express near Wagner, Mont,
last June, his attempt to get change
for a $50 bill of the series secured in
that robbery attracting attention of
the police 10 him.
Sunday morning a raw-boned man,
about feet 10 inches high, with forid
complexion, offered the bill in pay
ment OF d small purchase made in
storehouse on the public square. DIFF
ticulty in making the change caused
the salesman 10 closely notice the bill,
which proved to be on the Montana
bank. The police were quietly noti-
fed the cle.k meanwhile delaying the
matter of change.
Detectives Dwyer and Dickens were
soon on hand, and, approaching the
man, demanded his name.
Ferguson" was the reply, and after
another question or two Detective
Dwyer informed the man he was I'M
der arrest. Quick as a fash, Ferguson
had a revolver in each hand and start
ed for the door. A hand-to-hand fight
ensued, both officers graphing with
the stranger, who proved more than
match for them. Using his pistols as
clubs, he fought his way to the door
and fed down the street.
passing ice wagon caught his at
tention and the three negro occupants
were soon out of his way. Then, at
fire engine clip, the wagon was headed
across Cumberland river bridge into
East Nashville, a fusilade of shots fol-
lowing it.
Out Woodland street went the flying
team, but a sudden turn into First
street brought it to grief. One of the
horses fell and broke his leg, but the
fugitive was not TO be delayed. Run
ming across First street, he neld up an
old negro who was driving by in a
buggy and the flight was continued.
Out into the commons he sped. Once
the buggy overturned but was quickly
righted. Finally the tired horse was
abandoned and after a dive into Shell
by park on foot the supposed bandit
secured another horse hitched at a
point near the park. Then, after a SEN
sational ride. the horse was left and
the flight continued on foot. Further
out pursuers found two of their blood
hounds shot to death a short distance
apart, and after that the trace of the
man was lost. The sheriff, with large
posse, is out securing the country for
the missing man. When the buggy
was abandoned, the man threw away
a wallet containing 81 ,040 in ten and
twenty-dollar bills of the Montana
bank. The money was recovered by
Chief of Police Curran.

state is not to surrender possession
of his body, and by shutdown it will
have been secretly inferred in ground
controlled by the officials of Auburn
prison.
Waldeck Czolgosz, brother of the
murderer, foreseeing endless Difficult
ties, and possibly angry demonstra-
tions, as the result Of an attempt to
give the body ordinary burial, needed
the advice of Superintendent of State
Prisons COLLINS and Warden Mead and
relinquished all claim to it, He mere
ly stipulated that at the close of the
autopsy all parts of the body should
be buried All chance of an unhappy
and unfortunate sequel TO the execu-
ton, either in displays Of popular con-
tempt or the exhibition of CHASTITY rel
les, is therefore finally prevented.
The plan of burning his clothing
and papers will be carried out immedi-
ately after the execution
Czolgosz held his last two inter
views last night, the first with Super
intendent Collins and the second with
his brother and brother-in-law.
Both of the interviews were brief,
and the interviewers did most of the
talking until the question of religion
was mentioned when CZolgosz broke
from his seeming lethargy and violent
ly denounced the clergy and made his
relatives promise that there should be
no service for him, living or dead,
Prior to the late evening interviews
Czolgosz reluctantly received Fathers
Fudzinsk and Hickey. IL was late in
the afternoon and occurred after he
had once refused to meet them When
they reached the prison, Superintend-
ent Collins conveyed the request for
an interview to the prisoner. Czolgosz
sent back word that he did not care to
see them, but the priests asked to be
allowed to go to him despite his re-
fusal.
Superintendent Collins consented
and personally escorted them to the
cell The priests remained with Cool
gosz for three-quarters of an hour and
earnestly pleaded with the prisoner to
repent and pray for Divine forgive
ness. He rejected all their advances,
however and they regretfully with
drew. They told the prisoner they
would hold themselves ready to an
swer a call from him at any hour OF
the night It was Z o'clock when SUI
perintendent Collins went into the
death house and tried to get the pris-
oner to talk TO him. Although he re-
NAMED in the cell some time, he was
apparently not successful in getting
anything material from him. At 8
O'Clock the brother and brother-in-law
arrived and Superintendent Collins
took them down to the condemned
mans cell. There was no demonstra-
ton when they met. Czolgosz merely
stepped to the front of his steel cage
and said:
Hello" The brother ventured the
remark, 81 wish you would tell us,
Leon, who got you into this scrape? ?"
The assassin answered in a slow
hesitating manner, mo one; nobody
had anything TO do with it but me-"
THAT is not how you were brought

to tell us everything now"

answered in a surly manner.

New Orleans, Oct. 30.-A special to
the Picayune from Balltown, La, says
that the race war between the blacks
and whites, which started at negro
camp meeting at Duncans chapel Sun
day. forms story of blood unequalled
in the history of the Pearl River vii
ley.
One white man is dead, another is
now dying with a bullet hole through
his stomach, and third white man is
badly wounded.
Nine negroes were killed in the
bloody affair-five men, three women
and one small child. A dozen or per-
haps more negroes escaped to the
woods and swamps with wounds that
are believed to be certain death in
the brush, away from medical care.

There was a painful pause OF a few
minutes and then the relative resumed
casual conversation Win him, TO
which he replied in monosyllables un-
til the brother-in-law suggested, much
TO Superintendent Collins's surprise,
that he and the brother be permitted
to witness the execution. Before Mr..
Collins cou-i reply Leon Czolgo z
said:
Eyes, Mr.. Superintendent, let them
see me killed"
Superintendent Collins told the trio
in emphatic terms, that no such thing
could be allowed, and ordered them to
say goodbye.
Czolgosz walked to the back of his
cell, sat down on the edge or his cot
and did not answer the last farewell
When the relatives reached the
warden's Office they again renewed
their request TO see the execution, TO
which Mr.. Collins replied; Emphatic
ally, no. Czolgosz will be killed. at I
o'clock tomorrow. and if you apply to
the warden in the afternoon you may
be able to see the body"
The two men were then let out Of
the prison. A few minutes after they
had left Superintendent Collins re-
ceived a telephone message from the
chief Of police Of Cleveland, announc.
ing that the father of the convicted
man had signed an agreement similar
to the one signed by the brother here
last evening, giving the prison author
tiles the disposal of the body.
The prison was absolutely quiet at
8 o'clock A little crowd that had
gathered about the main entrance at
dusk quietly dispersed without any
suggestion from police or guards. The
superintendent and warden retired II
10 O'Clock with the announcement that
there will be nothing given out and no
one would enter or leave the prison
until morning Before the superin-
tendent retired the death watch re-
ported to him that Czolgosz was sleep
ing soundly. Beside the two regular
men on the death watch in the corri-
dor an additional guard sat in Cool
goszs cell all night.

Constan inople, Oct. 29.-Those who

vorable news regarding Miss Stone
