GOES TO MARRY MAN
 SHE HAS NEVER SEEN
Bibb County Girl Travels to Canada to Become Bride of
 Stranger.

Centreville, October S.-(Special)-The pine clad hills of beat 3, Bibb county Alabama, will furnish q subject to Great Britain. when Miss Lida Palmer who left here on Thursday last for Fort Fran cis, Ontario, reaches that place.
 There is a romance connected with her going It seems that for sometime this young lady has been writing to some man whose home is at Fort Francis, On- tario, and 1t seems that the couple have learned to love each other at d distance, so finally the man of the case wrote to his Bibb county sweetheart that he would send her money with which to make the trip if she would come to Fort Francis to be his bride. She consented and on Thursday she left her Bibb county home for the far north. Her father. sister and brother accompanied her to the depot at this place, and with tears coursing down their cheeks. they watched the train which took from them the daughter and sister, as long as they could see it. This unsophisticated country girl evidently hat unbounded faith in her distant love. a! she has not been beyond the confines o Bibb county many times. and is entirely unfamiliar with the ways of the world She will make the entire journey in 6 regular day coach.
 Sheriff Crawford returned to Centreville from the northern part of the county last night, where he made forty arrests Friday night and Saturday. Sheriff Craw- ford will remain in office until the mid dle of January next, and is making dili- gent efforts to get the affairs of hls of fee in good shape to be turned over to his successor.
 Solicitor J. F. Thompson will leave here today for Camden at which place circuit court will convene on Monday.

travelling fast to avoid jumping and De- ing in danger of leaving the rails.
 ..That the wheels of the train had mt inc ends of the rails with terrific force was shown by the battered condition or tho rails, and this is at variance with the statement made by the bridge tender According to MT. Atterbury the bridge tender told him that the bridge had just been closed, and that he had gone to either end of the draw to remove the danger flags which had been placed there when the bridge was about to be opened The bridgeman told MT. Atterbury he was positive the tracks were perfectly locked My investigation shows this not to nave been the case. My attention has been called to the fact that there are no guard rails of any kind on the bridge. Had there been, these might have prevented the train plunging into the water, even after it had jumped the tracks. l will ind out if the law requires protection Of this kind I will not be in hurry With the investigation, as | want to get all possible information. It is impossible at this time to ascertain how many persons lost their lives, but I fear the number will be in the neighborhood of l5.

 The marvellous development of Howard S team within the las two weeks has caused the students to rejoice The tie game against Tulane Saturday afternoon, which would assuredly have been vic tory for the Alabamians had there been two more minutes in which to play was just cause for rejoicing on the part of the boys left at home.

President Altman Talks.

san Francisco October 2S.-'When Sec retary Victor Metealf arrives to inquire into the action taken by the board of education of the city and county of san Francisco in providing a separate school for Japanese children. we will meet him more than half way was the statement of President Altman today.
 "The position taken by the board was for the best interests of the public schools of San Francisco. and in strict conform ity with the state laws. We believed that the best interests of schools should be subserved by sending children of Japanese parentage to separate schools. If we have erred, and can be shown whereby we have done so. the board will be more than pleased to correct it's mistake-if any has been made.
 Without receding from our position the board claims that the faulty--if any ex- sts-is with the legislative body of the state. In plain and nmistakable language that particular section of the statute un- der which the board acted, stated that all children of Oriental parentage shall be placed in a separate school. The board would like to have the consttutionality of the statute tested in the courts"
 City School Superintendent Ronconveri said the coming of Secretary Metcalf was not necessary, the exclusion of Japa- nese from the schools provided for white children is required by law.
 Many of the so-called Japanese school children" said MT. Ronconveri, "are men of 20 to 9 years of age.
 'rhese pupils are largely of the Japa- nese servant class, working for their board and lodging. They are to be com mended for so working. but they are not entitled to go to school like little boys and girls.
 We do not deny Japanese any educa- tional rights, but there are separa te schools for them and those they must attend.
 "Of course if the United States declares our statute law is in conflict with a treaty, that's another matter But at present we are guided solely by Ca!ifor- mia law"

Barue Is Burned.

Cleveland, O., October 2S.-The barge Maurice B. Grover was burned last night just inside the breakwater. The fire was discovered about o'clock, and the crew from the life-saving station went to her rescue in tugs. The storm, which had whipped the lake into a heavy and dan gerous sea, delayed the tugs, and when they arrived the craft was practically destroyed. It was at first thought that several of the crew had either been burned to death or drowned, but it is now believed no lives were lost.

DAMAGE IS NOT SERIOUS

Selma October ecial.)-Today at noon fire was discovered issuing through the crevices in the slate roof of the Dal- las county jail. An alarm was sent in, and the appearance of the fire depart ment at the jail caused considerable ex- citement. The prisoners became alarmed to some extent. but they were not moved from the building. The fire caught in the northeast corner of the building in the ceiling near the gallows tower. How it originated is not known as there is no flue near the place. A spark from the kitchen chimney might have blown in and caught in an English sparrow's nest un- der the caves, but this is rather unlike 1y. There is a strong suspicion that the fire was incendiary it being expected that in the excitement some of the pris- oners might escape. The time of the deed, though, discredits this theory. Not a great deal of damage was done, but large crowd of citizens collected quickly around the jail, although It is over a half mile from the business center of the

A MURDER MYSTERY
At ANAM00SE
\. OAK.
Farm Hands Body Found on
a Lonely Road With Rifled
Pockets-No Clue.

Frederick Alton. an Anamoose, N.
D., man, was an arrival in the city
this morning. He reports the McHen-
ry county authorities at work in an
endeavor to unravel one of the most
peculiar murder mysteries that has
troubled the officials of western North
Dakota in long time.
On the evening of July 4. Conrad
Pfeister. aged 70 years. a farm hand
employed by Fred Browning. while
on his way home from Anamoose,
where he had been attending the In
dependence day celebration, was shot
and killed by unknown parties and
his pockets riflcd of $25. which repre-
sented his last months pay The
mystery surrounding the shooting was
increased an hour later, when Ham
mond Nielsen. farmer. while passing
the scene OF the murder. was fired
upon three times by an unknown
party who was occupying a buggy at
a distance so great that it was impos-
sible for Nielsen to recognize him.
The authorities are altogether in the
dark as to whether the murder of
Pfeister was simple case of robbery
or whether revenge was the motive.
The victim was not known to have had
any enemies and was both steady and
Industrious. The officials are at work
in an endeavor to discover and arrest
the murderers.

WILD WEST SHOW IS FINE.
Dickinson Has Good Word for Red
River Valley Exposition
Attraction.

AtractlOn.
Pelissier's Wild West how, which is
to be one of the numerous attractions
at the Red River Valley exposition, to
be held in Grand Forks July 81, and
August 1, 2 and 3. The show visited
Dickinson on first starting out, and
the Post had this mention: Those
who attended the wild west show and
everybody in the city did, felt we'll re-
paid for their walk to the baseball
park.
THE horses in themselves are worth
going to see without the attraction of
reckless riders and the wonderful ex-
hibition of rope and corral work. The
show Is new. but the horses are al
ready learning the game, and it is
plain to be seen that they enter Into
the spirit of the contest with vim
which is truly discouraging to the
riders who expect to pick up q fat
salary for little work In the open.
When Pete Pelissier of Billings county
exhibits the widest horses in that
county, ridden by the best riders to
be found in COW land. 1t is foregone
conclusion that the venture will be 4
great success. On Wednesday after
noon the wind was blowing gale, but
the crowd which attended the show
came away we'll pleased and returned
on Thursday. The Mexican and his
wife who Travelled with Buffalo Bill
for five years lent dash to the per-
Torrance, which gave the audience
