capture of Mukden by the Japanese, the
resignation of Kuropatkin, and the ac-
cession of Iinevitch to the position Of
commander-in-chief. Incidentally the

Youths Gun Discharged AccIdentally--- Farmer Uses Weapon. AbbevIlle, Jan. 1.-(Special )-The relatives of Arthur Wright, a bright lad about 14 years of age residing at Kincey, were shocked Saturday morning upon the receipt of message stating that he had met his death in a horrible manner. From the best information obtaina- ble it seems that he went hunting Thursday and when he did not return Friday alarm was felt and a search was begun.
 Nothing was learned of him until Saturday morning when his lifeless body was found.

 The brothers and sister of the dead boy left for Kineey as soon as the news was received. Ebert Elliott, a prosperous farmer residing in the lower and of this county shot and fatally wounded Will Pelham and shot his companion, man by name of King Christmas day.
 These men had gone to the Elliott community under the influence of liquor and had, so the report goes. been ter rorizing those who were present.
 Bearing with them long as possible, 1t Is alleged. Elliott emptied the con- tents of a shot gun into them as they advanced upon him with weapons Pelham died that night. but the other man will recover. All are white and of good families.
 While the farmers are feeling gloomy over the slump in the price of cotton, there is evidence unmlstakable on every hand that this section has enjoyed a year of great prosperity. Money seems plentiful and real estate is changing hands rapidly, fancy prices being paid for land that would have brought a paltry sum a few years ago. Rev. A. J. Preston. who was rendered call by the Baptist Church 8 few weeks ago, has declined to accept. MT. Preston was pastorN of this church several years ago and is held in high esteem.

.SAWNEW YEARANDDIED'
NEGRO FROM COUNTRY ME
 DEATH UNDER TRAIN.
Stayed In Montgomery to Hear Bells Rtng at lxidnfaht and Was Beat ing His Way te MeGehee's
 Switch.

His zeal in welcoming the New Year cost Tilford Frazier, negro boy IS years old his life
 Frazier, who lived at McGehee's switch came to Montgomery Satur- day with a party of friends. His friends returned home at night. but Frazier said he would remain In Mont gomery to welcome the New Year. He wanted to hear the shrieks of the whistles and the changing of bells. The noise of the city was more to him than the peace and quiet.
 The negro reioiced with Montgome- rians at the birth of the year. Then he went down to the railroad yards. The story of the accident which caused his death Is told by the reporter who covers" the railroad yards as follows:
 'Tilford Frazier, a negro tramp. was crushed beneath a train in the rail- road yards early yesterday morning,
 Frazier was 'hoboing' his way on the second section of Louisville and Nashville freight train, No. IS. which left Montgomery for the South after midnight The screech of whistles and clang of bells ringing in the New Year had hardly died on the midnight air as the puffing freight train was noisily making its way through the big cut south of the union station.
 The negro missed his hold and fell, the heavy wheels of several cars pass ing over his body and crushing him horribly. His right arm and right leg were almost severed from his body. He was picked up in an unconscious condition and sent to St. Margaret's hospital. His condition was desper- ate when he reached tho hospital. but he lived until 2 o'clock yesterday af- ternoon.
 The body was turned over to a ne- gro undertaken, and unless his rela- tives are heard from today the Louis- vile and Nashville will bury him."

MITCHELL GIVES STATEMENT.
Says He Is as Innocent as "a Babe Un-
 born" of any Wrong Doing.

Portland, Ore, Jan. 1.-The following authorized statement by Senator Mitchell regarding his connection with the alleged land frauds conspiracy was given out tonight:
 "I am as innocent as a babe unborn of any complicity in any land frauds in Oregon or elsewhere. l assert in the most positive terms, that the indict- ment must be based upon the testi- mony of self confessed and continued land thieves and perjurers. who have been offered immunity in case they meet the vindictive desire of Secretary Hitchcock and his agents who have by their testimony involved me and others in the frauds.
 The prosecuting officer. Francis J. Heney, filled the newspapers of the United States with press dispatches from Portland ten days before the grand jury met. to the effect that I was involved in the land frauds. im- mediately left Washington for Portland to answer any charges made against me by the grand jury, and I wired Heney that I desired the privilege of going before the grand jury to answer any charges against me. On my arr rival in Portland, I made a similar re- quest of the foreman of the jury.
 was told by Mir Heney that could go before the grand jury. Upon my appearance there I was told by Mir. Heney that no evidence had been sub mitted to the grand jury against me. then said that If there was no charge against me to answer. I was still ready to submit to an examination.
 T did so far two hours and a half. and answered promptly all questions. I was not advised as to what the charge against me was. and assured the jury that I was ready and willing to answer any other questions which either Heney or any members of the grand jury might wish to ask me and especially did I desire the privilege of answering any charges that might be made against me by witnesses.
 Having been assured that no such evidence. up to that date. had been sub mitted. | then remained In Portland for four days after that and, receiving no word either from Heney or the grand jury, the latter being In session all that time, left Portland last evening for my place of duty in Washington.
 'Tf an indictment has been returned against me. am prepared to meet 1t before a trial jury immediately and in this connection I defy the prosecuting officer to produce against me one par ticle of evidence worthy of moments belief which in any manner, improperly or criminaIly. connects me with any land frauds or with any confessed criminals. and I shall demand a trial at the earliest possible moment
 That there have been land frauds in Oregon. I do not deny, but speaking for myself, do deny in the most posi- tive and unqualified manner that I have been In any wise either directly or indirectly connected herewith or re- ceived any benefit therefrom."

BRUTAL CRIME CHARGED.

Negro Murdered Woman and Assaulted
 the LifeIcss Body.
 Memphis, Tenn, Jan. 1.-Captured tonight by a posse of his own race, General Bone. half-witted negro, is now in legal custody here, charged with one of the most brutal crimes in the police history of this region.
 Left as the protector of Mattie Ma ben, a middle-aged woman, at her cabin, five miles north of this city while her husband and daughter were attending a midnight celebration of face, beat her into q state of uncon- sciousness with a billet of wood, then dragged her from the house and seiz- ing an axe from a wood pile, split open her skull, after which he assaulted the lifeless body. Later he dragged the corpse to a creek, half a mile dis tant. and threw 1t into the stream.
 The screams of the woman, who had evidently battled hard for her life, judging from the appearance of her room, attracted tRrdy attention. News of the crime spread rapidly and scores of negroes gathered on the scene. The body of the woman, entirely nude, was found by dragging the creek. After searching the woods all day for her slayer, Bone was found In the creek hundred dollars, contributed by the negroes, had been offered for Bone's apprehension.
 The negro was turned over to the county authorities and locked up at the jail. There was some talk of lynching among the arresting posse, but nothing came of 1t.

Archbishop of Massschusetts DeAiverA
 Notable Sermon.

Archbishop of MassRchusetts Delivers
 Notable Sermon.
 Boston, Jan. 1.-Right Rev. William Lawrence, Archbishop of Massachusetts preached on 'Lawlessness' at Trinity Church today.
 The Bishop said in part:
 We are told that in the United States in three years have been killed in homicides 31, ,000 men and women.
 "A criminal now in Boston jail con- demned' by United States court awaits his release to take his seat by the election by Boston's citizens as one of the administrators of this city on a board entitled by tradition I1onorable., It Is matter of 8 common belief that great corporations have a silent fund for oiling the machinery of legislation in their favor and that their officers of high standing in our communities are not unwilling to be ignorant as to how the money is spent.
 "AlthoJu;h the church is In many ways more advanced than ever. 1t must be confessed with shame and sorrow that her garments are not free from the stain of lawlessness. Men who have stood high in parish offices, women whom are active in worship and good works have been and still are far from what they ought to be in sustaining the highest standards of obedience to the laws of God and man. It is the amusement of a scoffing world--the in- consistency between our faith and our deeds. We lack moral and consistent determination, readiness to stand with the minority.
 T believe that skepticism Is at the bottom of much of our lawiessness.
 With a complete consecretion of all the people at the churches altar we would disband most of our police force. dismiss the criminal court and open the gates of our prisons. A man of Chris tian faith. real living faith. snstains the laws of God and of man."
