The educational exhibits by the grad
ed and ungraded schools OF Fremont
county under the supervision of County
Superintendent George E. Collegiate,
attracted much attention. The prize
for the best school exhibit was won by
the Canon City schools. and the second
prize was awarded the South Canon
schools. All the schools in Fremont
county closed Friday, as well as those
of Victor and Cripple Greek.
Gov. Peabody was distinguished
visitor at the fair on Thursday and oc-
cupied seat in the grand stand while
the races were being held and $1,000
pounds of the best fruit in the Arkan-
sas Valley was being distributed free
by the fair maidens of Fremont county.
The racing program included great
variety of events such as relay races,
cowboy riding etc. The record for the
local track was broken on Thursday
when Laura Spur, one of the prettiest
PAGERS, did one of her heats in 2:l3t
Some of the speediest horses in the
state were entered for the prizes, which
aggregated 5000.
| The Elks' had charge of affairs on
Friday, and there was something doing
every minute. Members of the order
we're present from Florence, Victor,
Cripple Creek and Pueblo. Among the
events of the last afternoon was foot
ball game between the Victor and
Cripple Greek high school teams in
which Victor won by score of to 0
IN hotly contested game.
Owing to misunderstanding be-
tween the racingcommitteean and theElks
the program of entertainment on FRI
day afternoon was not carried out in
accordance with the plans of the latter,
somewhat to the disappointment of a
large part of the crowd, which had
been attracted to the grounds by the
report that series of grotesque events
would be given in front of the grand
stand under the auspices of the Elks'.
Through one of those unfortunate
mistakes, that will occasionally occur
in spite of all efforts to avoid them, a
misunderstanding arose, and, rather
than complicate matters, the Elks'
withdrew.
Under the rules governing the racing
association there cannot be an interval
longer than twenty-five minutes be-
tween heats in any track event, and as
the Elks' could not render their pro-
gram Of sports in that length of time
they decided to give way to the racing
committee. rather than provoke a con-
fiict, or interfere in any way with its
plans. 1t was not unnatural that mis-.
takes should occur in view of the fact
that it was the first fair ever held here
The management hopes to be able mex,
year to avoid most OF the pitfalli
which confronted it this season, as it II
only by experience that it can acquire
proficiency in the work committed tc
it.
The success of the fair just closed
was an ernest of what may be accom-
piished next year. 1t has been pro.
posed that its scope be enlarged and
that 1t be made district fair and thai
additional departments be added so ai
to include all Of the industries and re
sources Of the Arkansas Valley. The
same energy and effort applied to ths
fair next fall will result in . suocesl
even more pronounced than in the one
just closed.

Ashore Near the Parker and Ropes.

masted schooner j. Holmes Birdsall

the same shoal within the last month.
The others were the schooners Parker

regarded as one of the most dangerous
on the South Atlantic coast.

tons and was bound from Boston for
Brunswick to load lumber She went
ashore at . o'clock Wednesday morning
in a strong northeast gale. The tug Ce-
celia, Capt. w. H. Rogerson, was at
Doboy waiting to tow a vessel to sea.
During the forenoon Capt Rogerson
saw the Birdsall pounding on the shoal
and at once went to her assistance.
The gale made the effort a dangerous
one and the tug struck hard on the
shoal before she reached the stranded
vessel A hawser was finally made fast
and the vessel was pulled off at high
water about o'clock in the afternoon.
twelve hours after she went ashore,
and was towed to Brunswick. She
was apparently uninjured. Capt. Van

ashore and was there when she was
brought in by the Cecilia.
The Birdsall went ashore within a
mile OF where the Parker and the

In his original petition Mr.. Wilensky
set out that he had agreed with the
advance agent for the show to let him
use a certain amount of space in his
store for advertising purposes, provided
that he be furnished with one ticket,
emitting him to the best seat in the
house. 1t was shown that when he
made demand for this seat it was re-

SIMMONS WAS SPEECHES..
RumOred He'll Make the Fur Fly in
Republican Meeting To-day.

Simmons. the insurgent Republican,
who issued his manifesto against the
Presidents interference with internal
affairs of the Georgia Republicans
was speeches. yesterday. He refused
to say anything for publication. He
has not abandoned his fight. however
on Harry StillweIl Edwards, of Macon,
who wants to be elected one of the del
egates at large to the Republican Ma
tional Convention.
1t was a difficult matter to locate
Simmons. and one Republican said he
had been placed in irons and muzzled
to keep him from talking. Simmons
denied this and declared that no man
could muzzle nim. He will attend the
meeting of the Executive Committee of
the First congressional district to-day,
he said, in his official capacity as the
member from Chatham county.
The Information is that he will make
the fur fly in the committee meeting
if any effort is made to indorse the
candidacy of Postmaster Edwards as
a member of the state delegation at
large to Chicago.
A Morning News representative saw
Collector Deveaux to find out If the
district committeeman had been placed
in quarantine. but the collector. who
is also chairman of the District Com
mittee, refused to furnish any infor-
nation that would lead to the where
abouts of the officeholder who dared
defy the President. When Simmons
was finally located he was fairly boil
ing over" but remembering the gen.
eral orders No. 4. which he received
during the morning, he kept mum.
Regardless of the strict orders Sim
mons confided to a friend that he in
tended to keep up his fight on Post
master Edwards and was confident he
would be able to bring about the cleo
ton of another delegate. Simmons is
now said to fear that Mr.. Edwards
may forward newspapers clippings to
the President. which will cause anoth-
er general order to be issued removing
the insurgents name from Uncle Sans
pay rolls.
The District Executive Committee to-
day will transact very little business.
Chairman Deveaux says that the only
thing the committee will do will be to
decide upon a time and place for hold
ing the district convention.

BULLET IN BACK
MAY CAUSE DEATH
NEGRO SERIOUSLY WOUNDED
BY ACCIDENTAL DISCHARGE OF
LIEUT.. FLEMING'S PISTOL.

While Eating Dinner I'm Kitchen of
Police Officers Home Lucius Bur-
dell Was Shot by Walter NJ. FIem-
ing Young Man Thought He
Had UnIOaded His Fathers Weap-
On-NegrO Was Hurried to the
GeOrgin Infirmary Twice the
Same Weapon Almost Cost Lieut..
Fleming His Life.
While eating dinner in the kitchen
of the home OF Lieutenant of Police
Walter Fleming, on President and
Drayton streets, early yesterday after
noon, Lucius Burdell, a negro en-
ployed as a porter, was shot in the
back and dangerously wounded.
With the same revolver that on two
occasions nearly cost Lieut.. Fleming
his life the negro was accidentally
wounded by Walter M. Fleming, the
police officers son.
The pistol is a SO calibre Smith &
Wesson, and the explosion was heard
a block away. The bullet entered near
the spinal column, and the negro fell
to the floor with a groan.
Lieut.. Fleming was in the cellar at
the time, and when he heard the
shooting he ran to the dining room.
1t was seen that the negro had been
badly wounded, and he was taken at
once to the Georgia Inf1rmary where
he received medical attention.
An examination of the wound was
hui could he To-
Gated. The negro suffered consider
able pain, although he received every
attention.
Lieut.. Fleming has made arrange
ments to have a further examination
made this morning by DR.. T. P. War
ing and at that time it will be known
just how serious the wound is.
Negro Was Eating Dinner.
Lieut.. Fleming and Mrs. Fleming
had just finished dinner and Burdell
was eating his dinner in the kitchen,
which adjoins the dining room of the
Fleming house. The door between the
two rooms was open.
AS was customary, when Lieut..
Fleming went into the dining room
placed it on the mantlepiece. His
son was late in getting to dinner, and
when he finished Lieut.. Fleming was
in the cellar.
The young man saw the revolver in
it's accustomed place on the mantle and
took it down. He broke the weapon
and as he thought threw out all of
the cartridges. Mr.. Fleming was fac
ing the kitchen when he snapped the
pistol.
The explosion was followed by
cry of pain from the negro, and then
the discovery was made that one of
the cartridges had stuck in the cham
Der. Everything possible was done
for Burdell. and he was made COM
Portable until the arrival of the police
ambulance.
Pistol Is a HOOdOO.
The pistol from which the shot was
fired is the one that is carried regu-
larly by Lieut.. Fleming and has been
accidentally fired on two other oc-
casions. Once it dropped from the po-
lice officers pocket at headquarters
and exploded when it struck the floor.
At that time the bullet passed through
Lieut.. Fleming's trousers leg and oc-
casioned a great deal of excitement.
Only about two weeks ago the same
weapon was being examined by a
young man at police headquarters
when it was accidentally discharged,
the bullet passing within six inches of
Lieut.. Fleming's head, and burying it.
self in an oak desk. The pistol is not
different in appearance from other
Wea mons Of the same make and is not
