Twelve Killed BY a stowaway.

The little island of Utilla, lying
off the Honduranean coast, whose
population is an indiscriminate mix
ture of white, Caymanites and
Caribs, WAS the scene of tragedy
in which II lives were sacrificed.
The captain of the little trading
schooner Olympia was about to make
a trip to Ruatan, Truxillo and Be-
lize. She had about 81, 400 and was
to buy cattle at Truxillo to sell to Be-
lize. She carried Grew of four
and quite number of passengers,
making the total list of people aboard
number 13. Among these were two
women and two children. The YES.
sci left the barbor of Utilla at III
O'Clock Friday night, June 80, and
after she had been under way less
than an hour everybody was aroused
by shot and rushing on deck found
negro armed with Winchester
rifle shooting down the men, one
after another. This negro was Robert
McGill and, as it afterwards devel-
oped, he had slowed himself away
aboard with the intention of robbing
the captain end then swimming
ashore. After he had killed all but
one of them he ordered the last sur
vivor to 60 below and scuttle The
ship. When the unfortunate rear-
peared on deck and reported, the
negro shot him dead. He then put
the two women, Miss Elsie Morgan
and her sister, Mrs. Walter Rose, in
the dory with Mrs. Roses six weeks
old infant and left the boat, steering
for the mainland. He changed his
mind about allowing the women to
live and killed Mrs. Rose and her in
FAINT. Then he began shooting at
Miss Morgan and wounded her in
the arm. She jumped overheard and
started to swim back to the island.
He fred at her Intellectually, but his
ammunition evidently gave out, for
he promised her immunity from
harm if she would come back to the
dory. She started back and when
within oars length he struck her on
the head with an oar, stunning her.
Believing she was dead he rowed
away toward the mainland.
Miss Morgan swan back to the
island, where she was thrown on the
beach by the waves in an exhausted
condition. She feared that the me-
gro would follow her, 80 she hid in
the bushes and for two days she suf-
fered from the heat and exposure,
until found by woman from her
neighborhood and rescued from star
vation. In the mean time the dory
had been washed ashore and there
was excitement on the island, as it
was believed the Olympia had gone
down with all hands. When Miss
Morgan told her story, an immedi-
ate search was instituted for McGill
and the authorities on the mainland
we're notified. They caught him at
El Portvinir, a little town on the
road to Ceiba, and there was quite q
demonstration, but he was protected.
The Honduranean warship Tia Tum-
bla, which has figured in 80 many
revolutions, was brought into service
and the murderer placed aboard and
sent back to the island. 1t is be-
lived he will be tortured to-death.
The laws of Honduras prohibit capi-
tai punishment, but the people will
take the case into their own hands.

ORR's FAITHFUL MEN.
Battles In Which the Regiment Participated.
The Record Should be Preserved.

Hughes Springs, Texas, July 15.-
Editors Courier: Please allow me
space for a brief mention of the
principal battles in which Orr's regi-
ment participated. 1t is of historic
interest that the record should be
preserved. Many fell on the field of
battle, others have since crossed over
the river, until but few of this noble
band remain to tell the story of their
conflicts and hardships.
Orr's regiment was mustered into
ssYice July 20, 1861, at Sandy
Y Wngs camp ground. In the spring
of 1862 we went to Virginia, where
we became part of Gen. Robert e.
Lees army. Our brigadier was Gen.
Maxey Gregg, Gen. Orlando B. Will
cox's Division. Gen. Thos. J. Jack
sons (better known as StonewalD
Corps.
AT the battle of Fredericksburg,
December 13, 1852, Gen. Maxey
Gregg was killed, and in short time
we became part of Gen. Samuel
McGowan's brigade to which we be-
longed the balance of the war. On
the night of May 2, 1868, our beloved
Jackson fell. On May 10, at Guinea
Station, he expired. Our brigade
then became part of Gen. a. P.
Hills corps for the remainder of the
war.

frequently allow the shipper to prac-

been a matter of development; of mu-

That is why the railroads of the Uni
