FROM WATER FRONT
STEAMSHIP CITY OF MEMPHIS
LOADS RECORD CARGO.
PART CARGO 100000 FEET.
LARGER SOLID CARGOEs, BUT
NONE WITH OTHER FREIGHT

The shipment Made by the Gran
rer-stubbs Lumber CO.-FreiEht
Market-Savannah River Steam
boat Co.'s Annual MeetinE-Of In
terest to Seamen and shippers.
The steamship City of Memphis will
sail to-day with the record part cargo
of lumber for coastwise steamers. She
will carry over 100000 feet of yellow
pine lumber for the Granger Stubbs
Lumber Co. Larger solid cargoes have,
of course, been taken by the coastwise
steamers, but probably none where
other cargo is also loaded, as with the
Memphis this voyage. The last solid
cargo of lumber taken out by an Ocean
Steamship liner was on the steamship
Tallahassee.
Mr.. Harvey Granger, the enterpris-
ing head of the Granger-Stubbs Lum-
ber Co, reports a good demand for
lumber, and looks for an increase in
it steadily throughout the summer.
He believes building operations will
be upon a scale everywhere that will
call for large supplies of lumber. So
far during the calendar year steady
inquiry, both foreign and domestic, has
been made for the product with the
promise that conditions are to continue
favorable. Asked as to conditions in
the country Mr.. Granger said that ow-
ing to wet weather milling operations
had been delayed some. Difficulty in
working was encountered in the woods
following the rains. With a spell of
dry weather this will be overcome soon,
however when it is expected operations
will be resumed on their old time scale.

Dead and Dying Scattered Over the Street.

Winfield, Kan, Aug. 13-Nt 9
o'clock tonight. while the city band
was playing its weekly concert on
Main street TO crowd Of 5000 peo-
pie. Gilbert Twigg, a crazy man, 20
years of age. opened fire on the
crowd with a double h9lrelel shot
gun, loaded with heavy bullets. As
q result, four are now dead. threa are
dying and no less thar twenty are
injured five i six probably fatally.
The band had just finished playing
a waltz when TwiGg topped out
from an alley half q block distant
and deliberately taking aim at the
bnd stand fired two shots. Oliver.
the band master fell at the first shot,
but the crowd not realizing what had
happened, rushed toward the killer,
believing that there had been an ac-
cidental shooting of some kind as

the crowd closed in. the crazy man
discharged two more shots at them,
causing a scattering in every direc-
ton With the crowd fleeing, the
man stood in demOniacal attitude,
fl ing at random in every direction.
Men and women howled and shrieke1
and ran. but no one seemed able to
stop the frghtful carnage until Off
Ger George Nichols confronted TWigg
and fired a bullet into his head But
before life was extinct the demented
man drew a revolver from his pocket
and fired shot. The dead and dy-
ing were by this time scattered all
over the street, and frightened peo-
pie, not knowing where the shots
were coming from, sought safety in
every quarter. 1t was fully half an
hour before they realized what had
