20 persons and injuring as many
more H. G.. Parsons. State Jour
nal reporter who was on the train
escaped uninjured. although two
persons in the seat in front of him
were killed. He gives the following
description of the wreck: Both of
the trains were running at a speed
of from Is to 25 miles per hour.
The freight was long one. When
the engines met they welded toge-
ther by the impact. The engineer and
fireman on the freight escaped with
out injury by jumping. The fireman
of the passenger was seriously in
jured, but the engineer escaped. 1t
was in the third car of the passen-
ger that the greatest slaughter of
Messengers occurred The shock
drove the smoker which was occu-
pied by only two or thee men back
ward through the third coach which
was crowded with passengers. No
one in the front end of the car es-
capped. They were crushed between
the seats. only three living persons
being taken out by the rescuars who
chopped holes in the car and releas-
ed these three from their dangerous
position.
A brakeman hastened to Willard
and notified headquarters of the
wreck, and a dozen or more physi-
clans from Topeka were hurriedly
despatched to the scene on relief
train. They worked manfully remov-
ing the crushed and disfigured bo-
dies of the dead from the debris.
Some were so badly crushed as to
be unrecognizable. The injured were
placed in the chair car and sleeper
of the wrecked train and brought
to this city and taken to the hospi-
tai. The first four cars of the stock
train were crushed into kindling
wood and strewn over the right OF
way by the collision. Dead and dy-
ing hogs and cattle were scattered
in all directions and many Of them
released from the cars by the wreck
ran wild. None of the trainmen ap-
ueared to know exactly who was
to blame for the collision. The pas
.senger conductor who had his leg
broken said as he lay in berth in
the sleeper, that he had the right
of way and the cattle train should
have been elsewhere than on the
main line. The ri Paso flyer was

 Roadside.

Body of Handy Bell Found on the
 Roadside.
 SAVANNAH. Ga, Aug. 1S.-There was a rumor in Statesboro that Handy Bell, one of the negroes implicated by the confession of Reed and Cato, was, like them, caught by the mob and burned at the stake near Statesboro, but this has been found to be untrue.
 At Register, four miles from States boro, three negroes were shot down last night. Two of them will die. The cause of the shooting was that the negroes were supposed to belong to g secret society organized against the whites.
 The latest information gathered from long drive through the coun- try about Statesboro shows that the race feeling has not subsided. The body of negro shot through the body has been found beside the highway about five miles from here. 1t is sup posed to be that of Handy Bell, one of the suspects released from jail last night for lack of evidence. A meet ing of white farmers was held at Riggs Mill, one mile from here. at which plans were laid for ridding the community of obnoxious negroes.
 There is great criticism of Captain R. M. Hitch, who is in command of the troops at Statesboro, in allowing the mob to take the negroes Reed and Cato from the courthouse.
 Albert Roberts, an aged negro nv- ing near Register, and his seventeen year-old son were shot last night. A large crowd of men, supposed to be some of those who participated in the lynching of Paul Reed and Will Cato, drove by the house about midnight and fired broadside into it. Roberts was severely wounded and is not expected to live. His son is also seriously wounded

Judge Peasley presided at to-day's session of the city court. George Rankin was charged with non-sup- port of his wife and child. Attorney Cassidy asked that the case be ad- Journed until Wednesday, August 31, at the request of Attorney Kennedy, Rankin's counsel, who was unable to be present to-day. Acting Prosecu- tor McMahon was willing to have It adjourned, but not for such a long time. Judge Peasley fixed next Mon- day as the date, stating that it can be further adjourned if the opposing counsel, Attorneys O'Neill and Kenne- dy, agree to it. On Tuesday, August 30, there will be hearing in the pro- bate court on the application of MT Rankin to have his wife removed as joint guardian of their child because she is an unfit and improper person. He alleges that she left his home ana board in November, 1903.

MT Combellack testified that on June 24 Grant was fined $25 and costs for as- sault and placed in charge of the pro- bation officer for 30 days. Since then he has paid only one visit to the pro- bation officer and then did not pay any money Mrs Grant said that the boy had been out of work, but secured employment in Scovdll's last week.
