HIGHWAYMAN AND
SWITCHMAN FIGHT
A. J. cox, WATCHMAN ON SEA-
BOARD is FATALLY WOUNDED
BY NEGRO WHO MAKES HIS ES.
cAPE-BLooDY ATTACK.

With his skull crushed, his nose broken
and his face gashed by blows from a
shovel and in a semi-conscious condition,
Alfred j. Cox, a Waterman on the Sea-
board walked from Avenue A and TWEEN
ty-fourth street early yesterday morning
to his residence, 1721 Avenue G.
Cox is lying at st. Vincents hospital
fatally wounded as the result of a des-
perate fight with negro highwayman
at Avenue and Twenty-fourth street
A shovel was used by the negro in his
attack.
The negro secured 81 in money, and a
watch and chain by his assault. The
Waterman has been able to tell but little
of the fight, as he has been in semi
conscious or unconscious condition ever
since he was struck by the shovel At
the hospital yesterday he recovered con-
seriousness for few seconds and said
that a big black negro assaulted him with
a shovel.
The attack was made some time be-
tween and o'clock yesterday morn
ing, and the condition of the watchman
was first discovered when he walked into
his home, 1721 Avenue G, about 500
O'clock He was unconscious at that
time, and the physicians are marveling
at his ability to walk that distance and
TO know how to get home when in his
condition.
The police are trying to find a clue to
the negro, but as yet have little on which
to work. They will endeavor to get a
description of the negro If the Waterman
again regains consciousness.

BASEBALL PLAYER
CHICKEN FANCIER
dad" LARoQUE HAS BANTUM
WHICH WAS COCK OF THE
WALK UNTIL SMALL DOG APP.
PEARED-BATTLE ROYAL.

Dad LaRoque. sometime first base
man of the Birmingham team, also man
ager of a team in the South Atlantic
league, in winter time fireman In the
Birmingham department, has gone into
the chicken-raisng business.
He is raising pet stock to be mascot
for the Savannah team this season. He
has not plunged very deep, for he has
only one chicken to date, a bantum,
which Is nothing If 1T is not a scrapper.
Dad is teaching that chicken to chew
the rag with the umpire, and when the
little rooster mounts the harness for the
big white horses OF the hook and ladder
truck and crows 1t sounds just as If he
were saying. Mob the umpl Mob the
ump" and then as the growing notes
grow fainter and fainter the chick seems
to say Bum decision, bum decision"
But that chick is a fighter. He has held
sway around the fire department head
quarters for at least three weeks, but
yesterday his crest fell. From being cock
of the walk he has been ANONYMOUSLY
chased between the horses hoofs, and
that by a mere scrap of dog no bigger
than a mite.
The bantum came across the street
about three weeks ago, bedraggled and
dying. The erstwhile first baseman fed
it corn and other delectable dishes de-
lightful to his chickhoods craw. The
bantum grew and waxed strong in front
and in demeanor, but his home was al
ways behind some barrels in the truck
room No one could modest him there UNI
til this diminutive dog strayed into the
department and was made a pet.
Yesterday the dog found its way back
OF the barrels and battle royal took
place. First it was chick on top and
then the dog. Neither are as big as
minute, but the attack was as strenuous
as those of the Japs on 203 Metre hill
The firemen all gathered round cham
pioning one favorite or another, and
Dad" was loud in his offers to wager
that the cock came out victorious. He
hal no takers.
The fight continued behind the barrels,
with bated breath until finally out came
chick in the lead and running hard.
Round and rund the truckroom the chick
went, closely followed by doggie. and
Dad trailing, trying his best to catch
the pup and save the pet.
Finally the chick bethought itself Of
the harness swinging to the wall
above the tongue of the truck and
up 1t climbed; and then poor doggie was
left below, barking away for dear life
and seeming to say: you're out at
first"
trace chain has been bought for dog
gle by Daddy and chick again holds
proud possession of the space between
the horses hoofs.

MINERS MAY END
CONVENTION TODAY
MITCHELL SAYS WORK WILL BE
COMPLETED UNLESS SOME
THING SPECIAL COMES UP DUR
ING THE DAY.

indianapolis, Ind, January Eve
will finish our work tomorrow unless
something happens during the day to pro-
long the session." said President John
Mitchell today, speaking of the sixteenth
annual convention of the United Mine
Workers, which convened in this city
one week ago. II cannot tell Just what
is being done by the various committees
today, and nothing will be known Of their
action until their reports are made in the
convention"
A special committee on legislation and
the committee having under consideration
the future policy of the journal held
sessions today, and the committee on
officers reports also held a session.
Nearly all the important legislative work
has been accomplished, and the few re-
naming hours of the convention will be
consumed in the disposition of matters
of form and routine.
The report of the national tellers, which
will announce the recollection of President
Mitchell, Vice President Lewis and Sec
retary-Treasurer Wilson probably will be
presented to the convention during the
morning session tomorrow. 1t contains
but one element of interchangeable
choice of the miners for delegates to the
American Federation of Labor.

MYSTERIOUS ANONYMOUS LET
TER MAKES ITS APPEARANCE
ON THE STREETS OF JEFFER.
SON CITY.

Jefferson City, Mo-, January 22-There
were few developments today in the Uni
ted States senatorial contest The Kernes
men claim that will have one or two ad-
ditional votes tomorrow One OF these,
they say is Mr. Kelly of Barry county.
An anonymous circular made its appear
ance on the street tonight declaring that
the solution of the senatorial situation
could be had by the election of Senator
John d. Young of Texas county. No one
appears to know where 1t came from, or
who is responsible for it. Senator Young
Is supporter of Thomas K. Niedring
haus, the caucus nominee, and claims he
is not in the race for the senatorship. Mr..
Niedringhaus maintains his position that
he will win, and takes a cheerful view
of the situation.
The Cole county republican executive
committee met here today and adopted
resolutions asking republican members
of the legislature to support the caucus
nominee for United States Senator.

Nogales, Arz.' January Eli. L. Miller
and Charles e. Tolerton, who escaped In
Thursdays Indian massacre In Sonora,
Mex, passed through here today with
the bodies of Messrs. Coy, Mackenzie,
Call and Stuebinger, bound for Chicago.
The correct names and addresses OF the
men killed are:
DIR. R. C. Coy, Chicago
John K. Mackenzie, Chicago.
M. A. Call, Sioux City, 10,
James Stuebinger Kewanee Ill.
1t now appears that the party asked
for an escort from the Mexican authori-
ties at Hermosillo, and an order to the
military at La Colorado was issued. On
reaching La Colorado the escort was re-
quested, but the Mexican officials re-
piled that there were so many in the
party that an escort was not necessary.
Thereupon the party left for Camp To-
ledo and reached there without much
difficulty.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Forshaw of Colorado
were with the party on the outward trip,
but left the main party before reaching
Camp Toledo and are now in camp and
in no danger. Fred Garrelson, wife and
child went over the same road last
Wednesday or Thursday but are undoubt-
euly SdIe. NfafTelSOn Is from buffalo ana

district, Sonora. A Mr.. Peletier, min
Ing engineer, recently employed by the
zerasa Mining company. is with Garrel-
son.
All the mining men in the district where
the massacre took place are coming
from camp, and the country will I'M
doubtedly be in a feverish state for some
time to come.
1t is stated on high authority that just
month ago Governor Yseabel held an
extended conference with a large number
of Yaquls at San Miguel to see II all
differences could not be adjusted and the
Yaquis said that they demanded all the
lands along the Yaqui river, and wanted
all the Mexicans and otner settlers there
| to vacate. Governor Yseabel replied that
that was impossible and the conference
came to an end.
I DR.. Coy's body and head were mutt
lated, his head being mashed in with
stones. His body was stripped of its
clothing as were the other dead. The
survivors escaped with their clothing
only, all their money, tickets and other
papers being taken by the Indians.
Chapman Potter, son-in-law of Secre-
tary Morton, has not yet been located.
though 1t is believed he will be located

scene of Thursdays tragedy the Yaqus
killed on Friday noon three Mexicans.
| One ~ the Mexcans was a prominent
man in that section.

constructed at vassillstrov island, where
fighting occurred later, resulting in the
killing of thirty of the defenders of the
barbados
The strikers. driven from the river
front, had gathered In front of the union
headquarters. out of sight Of the soldiery.
Buzzing like a nest of angry hornets,
hundred men brandished sabre blades Sc
secured from a junkshop, which were the
only weapons seen in the hands of the
strikers during the day. Others swarmed
up poles and cut down telegraph, tele-
phone and electric light wires, which
were strung from lamppost to lamppost
across the street to break up charges OF
cavalry. At first none of the leaders
seemed to have any plans.

Policeman ]. II. Jones, one of the old
est men on the force dropped his pistol
from his hip-pocket last night at Twenty

Suddenly two men appeared carrying

substantial barricade had been construct

last contribution Christmas trees were
added to the pile, and the crowd rushed to

SWAYNE CASE To
OCCUPY ATTENTION
Matter viii be Laid Before the
Senate Today
WILL BE VERY SLOW WORK
Judge swayne VIII be Given Reasona-
BILE Time In Which to Prepare
an Answer to the Charges
Against Him.
WILL BE VERY SLOW WORK

Washington, January 22.-The United
States Senate this week will transform
itself into court of justice for the trial
OF the impeachment charges against
Judge Charles Swayne Of Florida Of
fetal information of the action of the
House having been given it is expected
that notice of the Senate's readiness to
hear the charges will be conveyed to the
House Immediately after 1t convenes on
Monday. The managers on behalf OF the
House thereupon will present themselves
before the bar Of the Senate and read
the charges. The next step in the pro-
cess will be the organization of the court,
but this probably will be postponed until
Tuesday. Each of the senators will be
sworn in by either the chief justice or one
OF the Justices of the supreme court.
Judge Swayne will then be notified that
the Senate is about to begin trial of
the charges against him, and he will be
given a reasonable time to reply.
It is understood that after the proceed
ings are begun they will be continued
with as little interruption as possible
until their conclusion. 1t is not prob
able, however, that the present week will
see more than the preliminaries.
The managers of the joint statehood
bill are very hopeful of securing an agree
ment to vote on that measure before the
close of the week. The opponents of the
bill do not admit this possibility, but
those senators feel confident of the ac-
ceptance of some one Of the amendments
eliminating Arizona from the question,
say that they will be prepared for vote
as soon as the discussion is exhausted.
The Notifications appropriation bill
which was pending when the Senate adj
journed on Saturday, will be taken up
again on Monday and will hold the at
tention of the Senate until disposed Of.
THE HOUSE.
Unless legislation for government rate
making for the railroads shall be In
jected into the House next week, the leg
islative work days will be devoted to the
annual appropriation bills. No programme
on the rate question has been agreed on.
However, the introduction of the Hep
burn bill on this subject Saturday, and
the long consideration that has been
given the matter In committee, indicate
that the House soon will be asked to
give consideration of the proposition.
The District of Columbia appropriation
bill has the right of way and following
this the pension appropriation b.. and the
postoffice supply measure are next In
line. These measures doubtless will con-
sumo the week with some minor measures
that may be given little time.
