RUN OVER BY
PATROL WAGON
PATROL DRIVER coBURGER WAS
PAINFULLY INJURED YES
TERDAY MORNING.

Patrol Driver Henry Coburger was
painfully though not seriously injured
yesterday morning while in charge Of
the wagon, two of the wheels of the
vehicle passing over his foot and leg.
The officer had been sent to a point
on Donaldson street to convey a sick
colored woman to the hospital When
he reached there he did not find
enough assistance to place the woman
il the wagon and was compelled to
get out and do the work himself. He
left boy to hold the horses and after
placing the woman in the wagon went
forward and was in the act of stepping
into his seat and grasping the reins,
when the colored woman, who was &C
companying the sick one, raised an
umbrella The horses Immediately
gave a jump throwing the driver to
the ground. He held to one rein, and
was dragged for some distance. The
front wheel of the wagon passed over
his left foot while he was being
dragged, which caused him to relin-
quish his hold upon the lines, and as
he did the rear wheel passed over his
left leg just below the knee.
The sand at the point where the run
away occurred is very deep, and It is
probable that but for this the leg
would have been broken. The horses
continued on the run until they reach
ed Gregory street. where they stop
ped. The sick woman was not In
jured.

NEW ORLEANS EXCHANGE
WANTS INVESTIGATION

New Orleans, July 12.-President
Britton, of the New Orleans cotton
exchange, to-day addressed a letter to
president Roosevelt in which he says:
The recent exposure in the statistical
bureau of the agricultural department
has developed a situation which in
cotton trade circles for many months
has been so strongly suspected from
apparent indication as to amount to
positive conviction Of wrong doing.
Now that the exposure has been pub
licly announced. feeling of intense
indignation prevails in the trade in
terested in fair dealing by reason of
the department having been used by a
clique of corrupt spectators to pro-
mote their individual and selfish ends,
and it should be known who have
been the benefciaries, corruptors and
corrupted as we'll"

VICTIMS SLAUGHTERED IN COLD
BLOOD AS THEY RUSHED ON
DECK AFTER FIRST sHoT-As-
sAssIN WILL PROBABLY BE
TORTURED TO DEATH.
BY Associated Press.

New Orleans. July 12.-One of the
most shocking stories of murder, with
robbery as the motive, in the annals
Of crime was brought to this city to-day
by Captain Hans Holm, of the Norwe-
gian steamer Bratten, which plies be-
tween New Orleans and Hondurean
ports, and was subsequently confirm
ed by officers of the fruit steamer
Rosina which came in later with addi-
tional details.
The little island of Utilla, lying of
the coast of Honduras and whose pop
ulatiOn is an indiScriminate mixture
of whites, caymenites and caribs, was
the scene of the tragedy in which
twelve lives were sacrificed.
The captain of the little trading
schooner Olympia was about to make
trip to RUatan and had brought four
teen hun6red dollars aboard. He car
ried a crew of four and passengers to
the number of 9, including two women
and two children.
The murders took place on the night
of June 30 when everyone on board
was aroused by shot and, rushing on
deck found negro armed with a
Winchester rife who shot them down
as fast as they appeared. One young
lady, Miss Elsie Morgan, who is well
known here, was the only person to
escape alive. Being a good swimmer
she reached Shore island where she
nearly starved for two days.
The negro was caught but was pro-
tected from violence by President
Bonilla who happened to be on an in
spection tour 1t is believed, however,
that the negro will be tortured to
death The laws of Honduras prohibit
the infiiction of capital punishment
but the people will take the matter in
their own hands.

do so in this proportion, and it is

There is not a man, woman or

certain, who would consent to
the Obliteration of a single one of
the public improvements carried
out by the present city council;
and now will some one kindly tell
us in what other way these same
improvements could be carried
out, and difficulties overcome,
than the way adopted by the
gentlemen to whose hands it fell
to do the work?
1t is easy to criticise and
destroy, but very arduous and
difficult land thankless) to build

should not feel discouraged on
that account in the performance
of duty-tod do ones duty honestly
and fearlessly is noble.
The old city council has enough
good works and unselfish service
to it's credit to make it q very
strained and pitable act on the
part of it's political enemies to
charge it with the sin of parti-
atty in carrying out public
measures and improvements,
and the books and the public
records are there to show an
honest expenditure of every
dollar Of the public money.
These are the facts and this is
the record. Do the people of

government, that have proven
