The first report of the murder a.
Baxter last week had it that the ne.
gro, while running from the officers.
fell e4er stump and broke his neck.
Now faefe IS nothing strange IN 4 ne
gro murderer getting his neck broken
because tree got in his way and he
could climb neither up nor down
but breaking negros neck by means
of a stump Of tree is unique and ori-
ginal. This calls to mind another orig
inal story where a negro murderer
was never captured the officers report
ing that their man fell into the river
and didn't come up again It is to be
supposed that a negro who IS being
wanted f@T murder and falls into the
river will not come up again. The
reverse might be said of the negro who
fell OYER the stump; he viii not go
down again.

TEXTILE WORKERS THREAT.
$1,000 Men May Go on Strike In New
EngIahd.


EngIahd.
Fall River. Mass. July 20,-Unless
the cotton mill managers of this city
who operate what are known as union
plants abandon their announced inten-
ton of inaugurating on Monday next
a new scale of wages which would re-
duce the earnings of their employees
IL 1-2 per cent, $1,000 operatives will
stop work following the strike vote
cast tonight by the textile workers
union. By a vote of 1910 to 1876, the
union men decided to strike Monday.
disregarding the suggestion of the tex
tile council that a strike was inadvis-
able at this time.
Although the union vote tonight
showed strength of but about 1000
operatives. their action WILL without
doubt. affect every other worker In the
factories against which the strike Is
declared. Those employees not parti-
cipating in the voting have heretofore
followed the example of the union en-
ployed. but even II the former decide
to continue work the absence of the
expert union workers would render
almost impossible a continuance of
operations. 1t is the general belief
in the city tonight that the mill owners
will reconsider their decision to reduce
wages and so avoid a strike. This be-
lief is based on the argument of the
union leaders that the cotton and cloth
markets are in such condition that a
shut down would be ruinous to the
manufacturers.

Personal Organ of Mr.. Fairbanks Tells

Indianapolis Special.
The Indianapolis News, which is
owned in part by Senator Fairbanks,
and has long been known as his per-
sonal organ, declares editorially today
that Indiana is doubtful State. 1t
argues that the Democrats have more
than fighting chance in the coun-
try.
After referring to New York. New
Jersey and Connecticut as doubtful

ful States of the East. Will it do so
this year? Our judgment Is that this
State is surer than any of three others

welt has made enemies in Indiana. but

position to him among Republicans
here that there Is in the East.
And the nomination of Mr.. Fair
banks will undoubtedly strengthen the
ticket At the same time, the State
may be uncomfortably close for. the Re-
ers have always figured that there were
at least $4,000 of their way OF thinking
that voted for Mckinley or Palmer in
1895. when the Republican plurality
plurality rose to $4,000.
Probably most of the gold Demo-
Gratis will be back in line this fall. II
Parker gets the gold Democratic vote
and retains all the Bryan vote. this
State will be at least doubtful, and the
result will be determined by the new
voters and the independent voters
But leaving out Indiana, the Demo-
Gratis have a possible chance in wiscon-
sin. which has thirteen votes: with.
Wisconsin In they would have 240 cleo
foral votes. which would carry them
through. with one to spare, and the
strife In that State between the Re-
publican factions certainly makes II
attractive lighting ground for the Dem.
ocrats.
So there seem to be many possfbili.
ties. but thus far they are only posi-

and expresses his satisfaction with the

IF, sometimes, during the last week,
