DOOMED TO THE oALLows.
Governor ROsesr Declares Emphatically That
lie win Not Interfere.

Olympia, Wash, Oct. 9.-James
G.. Green, who is under sentence OF
death for the murder of E. G. Ben
jamin, in Skamania county, last
March, need not base any hopes on
a commutation OF his sentence by
Governor Rogers. The governor made
that clear this afternoon when he in
formed newspaper correspondent
that he would not interfere in the
carrying out of the execution OF the
prisoner. Efforts have been made
to induce the governor to save Green
from the gallows. Two weeks ago
two ministers, members of the Meth
odist Episcopal conference, held in
this city, called on the governor and
asked him if a petition for executive
clemency would be OF any avail The
governor was emphatic in stating
that he wouldn't interfere.
In the past it has been the custom
where the trial Judge and prosecuting
attorney asked for Communication,
for the governor to grant it, but in the
case of Green the governor said today
that even if the judge who tried Green
and the attorney who prosecuted him
were to join in petition for clemen-
cy, it would not be granted. ''It was
a willful murder, and there we're no
extenuating circumstances, and | will
not under any circumstances inter-
fere, said the governor.

FOUR TRAINMEN KILLED
Rear.End Collision Of Freight Trains on the
Panhandle Road.

Logansport. Ind, Oct. 8.--Four
Panhandle trainmen met death near
Onward, IL miles southeast of here
in rear-end collision Of freight
trains, the bodies of three being taken
out badly mutilated and the fourth
being almost entirely consumed by
fire.
During the night, Conductor Wea-
yer, in charge Of the second section
Of train No. 79, an engine and two
cabooses, left Hartford City for Lo-
gansport. In the rear oaboose were
Galbreath, Brosius and Greely, who
had been working on the gravel train
at Hartford City and who were en-
route to this city to spend Sunday
with their families. They were all
asleep when the train stopped near
Onward to make up steam. The
flagman was sent out to watch for the
third section from the east, and no
danger was thought of until the train
loomed up too close for any to escape
except Weaver, who jumped and got
off uninjured, The third section,
with Engineer John Patterson, had
attained high speed, and when it
struck the rear caboose the engine
reared into the air, turned clear
around and came down on its side in
the ditch, smashing a number Of
cars into kindIing wood and burning
in the debris the sleeping trainmen
and the fireman.

BLOODY FIGHT AT A CHURCH.
Family Feud Causes the Death Of -Four Men
more Trouble Expected.

Knoxville, Tenn, Oct. 9.--In a
bloody fight at the Union Baptist
church, at Big Springs, 10 miles
from Tazewell, Tenn, four men were
killed, two mortally wounded, and
three wounded less seriously.
There was preaching at the church
and about 600 people gathered there.
Just before the ] O'Clock service
began, Tip Chadwell went to the
spring, so yards from the church.
Rush Morgan was there at the
spring, and began firing at Chadwell.
Both factions Immediately gathered,
and the fight lasted half an hour.
Sheriff Jones attempted to arrest Asa
Chadwell, who resisted. Both Brook
and Asa Chadwell are wounded.
The feud between the Morgans and
Chadwells has existed a long time.
Last Christmas they met at Walnut
Hills, Va, when a pitched battle
ensued, in which several we're killed.
Eighteen months ago they met near
the Hancock line. Fighting followed
and one was killed. Both the Chad
wells and Morgans are prosperous and
influential. and have large families
and all their members are fearless.

EXCITEMENT AT PUEBLO.
Frequent Murderous Assaults Upon Women
and Girls.

Pueblo, Colo, OFT. 8.-This city
is in great excitement over series
of murderous assaults upon women
and girls. From what can be learned
they seem to have been committed
by the same person, Negro or very
dark white man with his face black
ened. Last night Mrs. J. P. Hen
derson was a victim, being half killed
with a club while alone in her home,
the assailant having induced her to
admit him by pretending he had
telegram. He stole revolver when
he departed. Later, a girl in fam
lily named Hamilton was terribly
choked by man who had forced his
way in. He left on the bed where the
girl had been sleeping, the same re-
volver stolen at the other place. Mrs.
Hickey, who was struck down while
riding bicycle two nights ago is
still at the point of death with frac-
tured skull and can give no clear ac-
count of what occurred. Two very
young girls have recently been victims
of assaults Of the most atrocious des-
cription. In another case Negro
who seized young lady on the
porch of her home. was chased two
blocks by young man who came
out, but escaped. The police have
been unable to get any definite infor-
nation. Report comes late tonight
of another case, which is now being
investigated.
