Women from Possible Death
in n Runaway.

The pluck and the strength Of Daniel w.
Tillotson. a mail carrier resident at 272S
Ohio street, saved Mrs. L. A. Goldsmith
and a woman friend from probable injury
and possible death Thursday afternoon.
The two women were driving a team from
a livery stable and the horses became
frightened on Sixteenth street at the corner
of Capitol avenue and dashed northward OF
wild speed swaying the vehicle with it's
powerless occupants from side to side and
over the street car tracks While other
men were waving their hats, shouting and
doing other senseless things, Tillotson was
getting out into the street where he could
have a free path to run in. As the horses
dashed past him he grasped a loose rein
and ran at their sides until his pulling
brought them to a stop. II was hard run
and a herd pull hut aSass ali over in less
than a minute and no one was injured.
Modest Mr.. Tillotson, as soon as the safety
Of the women was assured slipped away,
giving no opportunity for expression Of
either their thanks or the praise Of the
by-standers.

TILLMAN ASKS FOR BAIL
Tells story of Gonzales Death In
Amdavit Before Application
is Put Back.

NEWBERRY, S. c., Feb. Thames h.
Tillman, charged with the murder of N {.
Gonzales. today applied for writ. His at
torneys had, however, failed to serve the
prosecution with copies Of the afidavits.
Chief Justice Y. ]. Pope accordingly post
poned the application until Thursday.
In his affidavit Tillman claimed that he
had been abused and maligned by the editor
OF the State. He heard rumors that Mr..
Gonzales had threatened him and had been
advised to be on his guard. He was in
formed that Mr.. Gonzales inquired for
him at the state house, saying he would
make him show the white feather. That
on the day of the shooting he happened
TO be moving some of his effects, including
two pistols, from the state house to his
rooms.
He saw Mr.. Gonzales coming, glaring at
him. saw him run his hand deep in his
overcoat pocket and turn toward him, and
believing his life in danger. he hurriedly
said: Il received your message and
fired
An afidavit by Richard Holtzenbach of
Edgerfeld said he heard Mr.. Gonzales in
ouire of Doorkeeper J. a. White where his
boss was: that he had made Tillman
show the white feather several times and
would do Il again" He subsequently saw
the meeting between Tillman and Con-
zales, and his version and that OF Tillman
as to this meeting were identical.
J. A. White substantiated what Holtzen-
bach stated as to the conversation.

FIGHT BEGINS FOR MILLIONS
Many Witnesses Ready TO Testify that
Mrs. Fair Lived Longer Than
Her Husband.

PARIS, Feb. 2.-Representatives OF the
various claimants to the estates OF the late
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles L. Fair are prepar-
ing for a severe legal contest at San Fran
cisco. New York and Paris.
1t is expected that the filing OF suits in
New York will be followed by the appoint
ment OF a commission to take the testimony
Of French witnesses whose evidence thus
far has been ex parte.
The interests Of Mrs Fairs relatives are
being directed by Frank l.. Eyde and Don
aid n. Vanderbilt. Herman Oelrich's in
terests are represented by Edmond Kelly.
The array Of counsel is entirely American.
Mr. Hyde, who superintended the taking
of the afidavits. says the work has been
proceeding ever since the Fairs deaths and
that the afldavits establish prima facie
case that Mr.. Fair died frst but as the
witnesses have not been cross-examined
by the other side IL will be necessary later
either to send the witnesses to the United
States or to examine and cross examine
them before a commission here. II is be-
lieved that most OF the witnesses would
gladly avail themselves Of the opportunity
Of making a trip to San Francisco. but there
are no means Of compelling them to go to
America, so it may be necessary to examine
at least part OF the witnesses here.
Mr. Hyde also said:
We have decided not to give the names
OF the witnesses, as Il would furnish am
munition to the enemy and would also
subject the witnesses to the annoyance OF
publicity. You can say, however, that we
have secured afidavits from everyone ir
any way connected with the Fairs at the
time of the accident. We have not made
a selection of special witnesses favorable
TO our views Of the case. hut have included
everyone.
This gives the chief Importance to theiI
testimony that Mrs. Fair lived the longest
Not one deponent swears she died first and
all except one are positive the husband
died first. This one exception inclines e
neither side
The witnesses do not make their state
uents as mere deductions from the circum.
stances but give the result of the observa'
tions Of their own eyes. In substance, they
say Mrs Fair was alive after they saw
Mr. Fair dead.

DAMAGE BY FIRE.
Blaze at the Great Western Round
House Last Evening.

From Saturdays Daily.
Fire last night inflicted considerable
damage on the round house of the Great
Western road, located some distance
north of the depot, near the stone quar-
ries. A still alarm was sent in at S:l5
p. M, and the central station fremen re-
sponded., The nearest hydrant was
nearly half a mile away, but line OF
hose $500 feet long was laid to the burn
ing building so rapidly that the fire was
extinguished before the building had
been very much damaged. The firemen
did some very good work.
1t is not known how the fire originat-
ed, as there were no engines fired up in
the building at the time. The depot
officials are unable to estimate the loss,
but only the front part of the structure
will have to be rebuilt.
The round house is frame structure
and has but two engine stalls. Tt is not
nearly large enough, as often two dead
engines have had to stand outside. 1t is
not likely that much money will be
spent on repairs, as the road intends
to have its permanent yard on it's pro-
perty purchased couple of years ago
in the center of the city.
