PAINTER KILLED BY
 SOUTHERN ENGINE DR. J. S. LAWVEFtE WAS STANDING ON TRACK AT TWENTY-FlRST STREET CROSSING, NORTH BlR- MINGHAM, AND WAS STRUCK.

J. S. Lawvere, who was sometimes physician and sometimes a portrait paint CT, was instantly killed yesterday morn- ing about o'clock by being run over by an engine on the Southern railway at the Twenty-hrst street crossing, North Bir- mingham. He was well known charac- ter about Birmingham.
 The body was horribly mangled and death was instantaneous. The remains were carried to Lige Loy's undertaking establishment and is being held there un- til some disposition can be made of theT.. The deceased has no near relatives in Birmingham, but 1t is thought he had relatives in Georgia, and they will be telegraphed for.
 It seems that Lawvere was standing on the track with his back to the engine. As he is slightly deaf he did not hear the engine approaching. The tender struck him. and he was thrown under the wheels and dragged for a hundred yards before the engine could be stopped. Portions of his remains had to be picked up all along the track.
 Coroner Paris held an investigation over the remains and decided that death was accidental and that there was no inten- tion of suicide on the part or the de- ceased. He was a Mason, and although not a member of any of the local lodges, 1t is probable that the Masons here will take charge of the remains.
 The deceased was well known char acter about town, and was a familiar figure with his painting outfit on his way to the house of some of his pupils, of which he had a number in and around the city. It is supposed that he was going to the residence of one of them -yester- day morning when he was killed. He had his outfit with him. Until two weeks ago he was boarding at 40 North Twentieth street, but was among those burned out by the Moran fire.

Senator George Hurley of Republic,
is in the city today homeward bound
from the meeting of the stockmen in
Portland, Ore. He is at the Grand.
The senator does not lapse into polit-
ical reverie very often. but today his
mood seemed to have changed.
mo, | cannot see where Mcbride
has lost great deal by his Commission
proposition said the senator in
answer TO a question. Anyway, you
will notice he has not been so rabid
along those lines for some months, and
he is mixing more with the people;
and there are other things to commend
him to the public.
'Of comse if Spokane county can
determine upon some candidate for the
nomination of governor | believe they
can put him through, hut there must
be concentrated effort. | believe Spo-
kane should have the naming of the
next governor. 1t now looks as though
it were impossible to get a senator,
for Cushman and Jones are impossible
to defeat. So the only Office that
amounts to anything that Spokane
should care to name is that of gov
ernor.
My stay in Seattle was limited this
time but from what little observation

TO PROSECUTE
CRIB OWNERS
Preachers Take Action to
Garry on Work of
Reform.

Notwithstanding the statement tina.
certain men disclaim all ownership OF
certain cribs on Front avenue, the
ministerial association of Spokane are
still firm in their belief that the evil
should be rooted out. The ministers
met this morning in the y. NJ. c. \
and discussed for an hour and halt
methods to be pursued in Graduating
existing affairs, 1t seems the question
was too weighty for the ministers
assembled and committee was APP
pointed which will meet tomorrow to
take active measures in the prosecu-
ton of the owners of the cribs. AL
though the matter of prosecution was
delayed the committee passed reso-
luton, endorsed by the ministers as a
whole, endorsing the movement 20
prosecute the owners of the alley cribs
until they cease using the property
for unlawful purposes.

was appointed to carry ont the desires
OF the ministers and to represent them

PUTTING THEM

BERLIN, Jan. 1S.-Dispatches to-
day say the whites in German West
Africa are in a desperate situation.
Three thousand live in a territory of
500 square miles. The greatest single
force they have is 500. Opposed to
them are $4,000 rebels, including co.
600 Hereros, who are the finest of the
negro race. The rebels are leading
a war of determination against the
whites as a result of the governor
having exasperated them by the exc
cution of Chief Nicodemus for high
treason against the kaiser.
Ten thousand negroes are threat

capital, which Is garrisoned by $50
