When he looked around Stockton had fallen dead to the floor and Bass was in the act of falling. The me- gro then aimed his weapon at Ivens and ilred one shot. Realizing that to remain in the car might mean death, Ivens spranE through the open door of the car to the ground, despite the fact that the train was stiil going at 6 high rate of speed. He stnHck the ground with great force and was badly bruised, but was able to get on the train and come on through after stop had been made for an investigation. when he reached Bir- mingham MT. Ivens was not aware of the fact that the negro had been caught and taken back to Meridian.

FIFTY CENTS A MONTH

A small bottle of Scott's Emulsion costing fifty cents will last a baby a month-a few drops in its bottle each time it is fed. That's a small outlay for SO large a return of health and comfort.
 Babies that are given Scott's Emulsion quickly re- spond to its helpful action. It seems to contain just the elements of nourishment a baby needs most.
 Ordinary food frequently lacks this nourishment Scott's Emulsion always supplies it.

After & plea by his counsel, Judge Mabry declared that the case should go over for further coii- sideration without presentation to the jury.
 It is stated that Henderson was play ing on the railroad in December and that he represented stations by placing spikes on the rails. He was caught and was taken to jail. where he has since been: At one time he admitted his guilt, and seemed to be unaware of the crime he had committed. From what he said to- day he was without guardianship, hls mother having died and his father beli.g to him absolutely unknown.
