Selecting q Jury.

1t was twenty-five minutes or twelve
when the counsel entered upon the
selection of a jury. For the plaintiff
this work was largely entrusted to
Colonel Argo and Messrs. j. n. Hold
ing: for the defense. Messrs. Pou and
Jones attended to this branch of the
case.
The first juror challenged was Mr..
~ NJ Rand, who stated in reply to
question that he had formed and ex-
pressed the opinion that the plaintiff
ought not to recover.
The juror was ordered aside by Col.
Argo but Mr.. Pou objected, and was
allowed to cross-eXamine as to Wheth-
er in spite of such opinion he could
hear the evidence and render a fair
verdict.
Mr.. Rand, after an explanation TO
the effect that such expression was
made to Mr.. Shaffer when he had no
idea that he would be a juror, stated
that he would not like to be placed In
the position of a juror after having
made uD his mind on the case Mr..
Rand was then excused by the court.
Mr.. Henry Cross was asked ques-
tons, all of which he answered salts
factorily. and was passed over by
counsel, who then proceeded in the
examination of other jurors. There
was much consultation among counsel
between questions.

TELLS OF HIS PRCvVESS.
President Roosevelt Gives An Ac-
count Of How He Killed
Bear.

GlenwoOd Springs, Col, April 21.-
That President Rooseee1t is enjoying
royal sport in his hunt for Rocky
mountain grizzlies is attested by Secre-
tary Loeb. who returned from the camp
late Monday, after having spent the
night with the party. While the only
game pulled down thus far is the bear
shot by the president and the bob cat
shot by DR.. Alexander Lambert, there
has been plenty Of reaceation. The
president told Secretary Loeb the story
OF killing the bear. He said the dogs
had several times caught up with the
bear, and had annoyed him until he
was in vicious mood. Finally, when
he was at bay, two or three members
OF the party, including the president.
came up with the dogs. One dog had
been killed and several others badly
wounded, and the grizzly was playing
havoc with the others that were tan
talizing him. To save the dogs the
president had to shoot hurried1y. Ev-
cry sweep of the bears paw bowled
over hound, and rather than see any
more of the pack killed the president
took the chance of shooting between
the dogs at the bear He fired once
and hit the animal in the shoulder.
Firing again, he killed his game. He
takes great pride in his first trophy OF
the hunt.
Camp will be broken on May IA. The
private car Rocket will pick up the
president there, and he will spend the
night at Glenwood Springs. The start
home will be made on May Is, with
stops of one day each at Denver and
Chicago. 1t is probable the party will
be in Washington May 20.

Indianapolis, Ind, April 18.-Frenzied

ing the life out of four boys, and it is
believed fatally injuring several others.
Long before the time appointed for
the distribution of the tickets, the
stairs OF the Masonic Temple, at the
southwest corner of Washington street
and Capitol avenue, were crowded with
a pushing, yelling crowd of newsboys,
each anxious to be first to receive his
pass. When the distribution began,
the excitement became more intense,
and the efforts Of several policemen
who had been detailed to prevent trou-
bic were unavailing, 1t is alleged by
witness that one Of the boys, in an
endeavOr to hasten the exit Of those
who had received their passes, shouted
"Fire!" Immediately those at the top
faced about and with almost superhu-
man strength began to force their way
TO the bottom Of the stairs. Shrieks
and physical encounters followed for
q few seconds when, from some cause,
those near the top fell headlong upon
the struggling mass at the bottom.
The dead are: Ed Morrissey, aged

rel, aged 13; Homer Williamson, aged

The End Came After Day of Un-

Mourn the Loss Of tie Dean of
the Stage.

West Palm Beach, Fla, April "a
Joseph jefferson, the eminent actor,
died at his home, "The Reefs" at Palm
Beach, at 6:15 last evening.
The end came after a day of uncon-
sciousness and after a heroic struggle
of days, which had exhausted his vi
tality.
At his deathbed were his wife, his
sons, Charles g. and Frank Jefferson,
his nurse, Miss Mabel Bingham, DR..
r. B. Potter, and his faithful old SER
want, Carl Kettler.
The end was not a surprise to his
family. Ever since his last sinking
spell, which came after a rally on
Thursday morning, and which was fol-
lowed by an apparent improvement
until Friday, the family has been
waiting for the end.
The sickness of Mr.. Jefferson, which
ended in his death, was contracted, it
is believed, while on a visit to his son,
Charles 3. Jefferson, at Hobe sound, a
few miles above Palm Beach, where he
went to meet his friend, former Presi-
dent Cleveland.
1t is believed that from slight in
disposition in his eating there, he SUI
fered an attack Of indigestion.
The body of Mr.. Jefferson will be
taken to Buzz ards Bay on a special,
leaving here today, accompanied by all
the members of his family.
It will reach New York Wednesday
morning and the family hope to reach

GLORIOUS FUTURE
FOR GULF COAST

of the south and those who are yet TO
come, to be identified with a develop
ment that is TO mark new era IN the
history Of our section and to make
record Of progress, the like OF which
may never again be witnessed on this
continent. Ours is the only remaining
territory unoccupied and undeveloped
and its possibilities can only be meas
urea by the unknown and untried en-
eTgy and perseverance OF a people VINO
have before them a future record 10
make. The very thought Of what
might be done-that the very heignts
of mans ambitions might here pc
reached is enough to cause US old rel.
lows to want to turn back the wneel
Of time and again enter the list young
and vigorous and ambitious to carve
out for ourselves place on the roll OF
honor among the names of those who
will make the south's name in the fu-
ture and cause her to blossom as
never before. It might; not be amiss
Just here to say to the young men
who are but beginning the real actiyi
ties of life that it Is worth their while
10 spur themselves on and into lines
of action, which will not only 1dentl1y
them with the future of their section
but afford them a magnificent oppor
tunity of creating for themselves an
Independence and fortune which
should bv no man be despised Then
let the young men wake up to their
possibilities before them and by their
record refute the erroneous impress
sions which have gone abroad that
the south. and its men are yet sleeping
the sleep of quiet and repose, and that
the material interests and welfare OF
the south has been been safe in their
hands. 1t may be a fairy tale, 1t may
sound imaginative, but In conclusion
venture this opinion. that in ten
years time the slow and sleepy drone
Of our beloved section will awake to
the realization of what has been lost
of opportunities missed and ind
that the rapid advance made along the
line has out-stripped them and left
them in the rear; that the man OF
thought and action who has dared TO
do and has assisted rather than
thwarted the advance movement will
be the leader Of the hour-the infu-
ence and the power which will move
the entire south and cause its several
states to take place in the rank OF
statehood which their respective re.
sources AND possibilities entitle them
to. We are hoping for the time to
soon come when the ignorant preju.
dice and the dull stupidity on the
part of the people both north and
south will admit Of the common inter
ests of all to grow and develop to
| their full measure. Here is hoping
that the south may soon be what we
have long, wished it to become, the
garden spot of the country. Not a
garden of flowers only but that it may
be rich intellectually. morally. finan.
cially, and commercially. All hail the
new south. Sincerely yours.
