AT THE HAND OF Hill BROTHER
ID. b. EVANS MEETS A TRAGIC AND
SUDDEN DEATH.

l pOiJDEN 49
Just about dusk on Wednesday
evening, September 9th, Mr.. d. B.
Evans, section foreman for the NJ. q
o. Railroad at this point and a pop
ular and prominent citizen.of the
town, was shot and instantly killed
by his brother, M. F. Evans.
The two men, accompanied by the
dead mans son Adlai, his slayer's
son George, DR.. M. e.. Stewart and
a negro driver and cook, Tom Do
zier, had gone that evening to Scott
Lake, about six miles south OF
Scooba, on a camp-hunt, and it was
after reaching their destination and
eating supper that the shooting oc-
Cured.
Immediately after the shooting M.
f. Evans came to town and surren-
dered, stating that he had killed his
brother, and DIR. II. w. Rencher and
q posse of citizens fastened to the
scene. AS soon as arrangements
could be made, the body of the dead
man was brought to town and to his
desolated home, from which, that
Thursday evening the remains
were inferred with Masonic honors.
At a preliminary examination Of
NJ. F. Evans before Squire NJ. Kear-
nev on Friday, at which was pres
ent District Attorney Currie, de-
spite Evans plea of self-defense, the
evidence was so Overwhelmingly to
the effect that the killing was in no
ways justiflable, that the magistrate
bound him over, without bail, to
await the action of the grand jury,
and he was taken to the county jail
at DeKalb.
D. B. Evans, the murdered man,
has been a resident of Scooba for
the past fifteen years, and has been
an employee of the NJ. & O. Railroad
all that time. Shortly after coming
here he married a sister of Mr.. John
Jackson, of near town, and she and
six of eight childten survive him.
He was a man of strong convictions
and feelings. plain-spoken, and such
men always have enemies as well as
friends. He was a member of the
Methodist Church, of the Woodmen
of the World, the Pythian and Ma
sonic frateruities. He was. a good
citizen, and his death is a loss to
the community.
Tothe widow and orphans, in this
terrible affection, the tenderest SYM
pathy of our people is extended.

the old employees, of the subway and
elevated railways Saturday crowded the
Offices of the company seeking their
former positions. Some 5000 men
applied for reinstatement, but not more

as to ssbriety would be more strictly

All applicants were notified that they
would have to go to work as new men,
which means that those who went on
strike would lose their seniority and in
creased pay that they had won for length
OF service.
Messrs. Jencks aud Pepper, the strike
leaders, admitted that the fight had been
lost and advised the men to get back
their positions if they could. Jencks
held the press responsible for the result,
contending that the papers had aroused
a hostile sentiment. The strikers bit

MONDAY EVENING, MAR. 10, 1905.

ANonJEcr LESSON of the yascilatlng
and Inconsistent course of the present adj
miuistration is shown by the letters OF
Mr.. Park Agnew and Secretary Shaw,
published in the local columns of today's
Gazette. On Friday last the President
at the meeting of his Cabinet, made the
announcement which was later In the
day given to the press by Secretary
Cortelyou, that 'the policy of the adj
ministration, for the present at least
would be TO retain in Office present H.
cumbents without regard to their length
of service" Previously Mr.. Roosevelt
had frequently stated that in making APP
pointments the worth, merit and qualif-
cations of the men would be given first
consideration. Yet on the very day he
made his declaration concerning the
retention of efficient oficeholders, he
asked for the resignation of Mr. Park
Agnew, internal revenue collector OF this
district. who has efficiently held the
Office fer eight years, whose experience
has made him a valuable officer ard
whose qualifications for the position are
acknowledged by the Presidents own
Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. Shaw, IN
the letters above referred to. The reason
for Mr. Agnew's removal was that his
place might be given to man who had
rendered Col. Slemp political assistance
during the last campaign. Mr.. Roose-
welt seems to have accepted the modern
theory that politicians cannot AFFORD 10
