ing OF their brothers murder in Mont
gomery by the police, SO they armed
themselves and rode into the little
town, sending word ahead that they
intended to kill the mayor and men,
bers of the police force.
Sheriff Daniel was notified and he
came from his home at Fayette to
Montgomery TO try if possible to pre-
vent bloodshed. AS Harry Jackson
rode into town, the sheriff stopped
him and told him if he attempted
trouble he would arrest him. Jackson
said not a word but drew a pistol and
shot the sheriff three times, he falling
dead in his tracks.
Rood ran toward jackson pleading
with him not to shoot the sheriff when
Jackson turned the flrearm on Rood
and killed him also. The three broth
ers then gallOped about the town,
threatening the life of officers and cit
izens.
Finally a posse was organized and
the Jackson boys, realizing that an at
tempt would be made to capture them
took to the woods, leaving their horses
On the highway. They are still at
large tonight and a posse OF 100 OF
more men is in pursuit. That Harry
Jackson will be lynched If caught is a
certainty. Sheriff Daniel was a prom
inent Republican and was influential
in state politics.

in the French capital.
The bill includes q provision strik-
ing all public expense for sectarian in
stitutions from the budget. The only
concession made in the hill ia an age
and service pension for priests but II
is 40 meagre that 1t amounts to a mere
pittance. The largest amount provid-
ed is $1,000 after rs years Of service.
The amounts remain the same for all
denominations, including Jews.
Buildings owned by the state and used
by religious organizations may be re-
tanned by them for two years after
which they must either be leased OF
else vacated. Religious demonstra-
tions, professions, ETC., are not to take
place on the public highways and all
new religious societies must be or
ganized under the religious associs-
tions law OF 1901. The bill also car
ries increased penalties for violations
of the law of 1901.
1t is purpoeed to put the new law

Gently visited Roosevelt at the White
House, in which the president is al
legged to have pledged himself to work
numerous reforms. first starting with
the trusts and the beef trust in par

used to begin with. and tariff reform
is also to be employed. The inter-
view is popularity credited to Governor
Cummins.
The governor in statement over his
own signature says:
II believe that while we will have
conservatism enough to hold to every.
thing that is good, we will have rad
icalism enough to keep UP with the

trusts and combinations which have
for their object the restraint of trade
