GHOST PROMPTED MURDER
Mitchell Woman Declares She Slew
Brother at Belfast Of Her Deal
BetraYer's Spirit.

A dispatch from Seattle, Wash,
says: Immediately after the arrest
OF Esther Mitchell the 17-year-old
girl who killed her brother Thursday
night, orders were given for the ar
rest OF Mrs. Maud Cref1eld, the wild
oW of the prophet, whose death at the
hands Of George Mitchell led to the
tragedy Mrs. Creffield, however, tel
ephoned the police where she was to
be found, and when taken to the
station frankly admitted that she had
entered into compact with Esther
to kill the slayer OF her husband.
She will be held as an acompnce.
Esther Mitchell made the following
statement Friday evening:
Mrs. Crefield and | talked over
the matter Of killing George. The
one that had the best chance to do
it. Mrs, Creff1eld bought the gun
We were at the room about 4 o'clock
this afternoon, and l thought / would
have a better chance to do it than
Mrs. Crefield, as my brother wanted
to see me, and believed that he
would think nothing about my going
to the depot. Then Mrs. Crefield gave
me the gun and l was to do it We
agreed that it must be done as soon
as possible. My brother Fred was up
to my room today and said that Per-
ry and George were going to Portland
this evening. I went to the depot and
saw Perry get his ticket. At last
saw George and / shook hands with
him. He and Perry were walking in
front and Fred and / were walking
behind. l was walking to the door
and George was in front Of me. That
was the chance l wanted and / shot
him.
The girl is also reported to have
said that the spirit of the Holy
Roller" had visited her and urged her
to kill her brother.
At the recent trial of George
Mitchell for killing the Holy Roller"
prophet, it was claimed by the de
Tense that the prophet had seduced
not only Esther Mitchell, but her
sister, and that in killing the proph-
ct George Mitchell only did what any
brother would have done under SINH
lar circumstances. This plea was eff
fective in securing the acquittal OF
Mitchell
NO one suspected that Esther
Mitchell was so infatuated with her
betrayer that she would ayenge his
death by killing her brother.

AFTER DETAILING COTTON FIRM.
Creditors of Alexander File Claims in Court
at AuQusta, Ga.

The only development at Augusta,
Ca, Friday in the disappearance of
Thomas w. Alexander and the failure
for something over $145,OOO was the
filing of a petition in bankruptcy in
the federal court by the Georgia Rail
road bank, the National of Augusta,
and the Southern States Phosphate
and Fertilizer company against the
firm. The schedule shows claims as
follows:
Georgia Railroad bank, notes, $780,
900; Southern States Phosphate com
pany, $11,681; National bank, $500.
In addition to this total it is esti-
mated that T. w. Alexander's per-
sonal liabilities will amount to about
$4,000, making a total for the firm
and the individual who was its head,
s165,181.
Mr.. Alexanders whereabouts is still
a mystery It is believed that there
will be no criminal action taken by
any of the creditors.

FAVOR SHOWN STfLL TRUST.
Combine Gets Part OF ArmOr Plate Con-
tract, Regardless Of Eigh Bid.

Secretary Bonaparte of the navy
department announced Friday that the
Carnegie and Bethlehem steel COM
panies will be given the contract for
the armor of one of the new 5000
ton battleships at the price named
by the Midvale Steel company in
their bid. The contract for the armor
for the other battleship will go to
the Midvale company. The Carnegie
and Bethlehem companies are to share
equally the contract given to them.
The Carnegie and Bethlehem COM
panies, which are controlled by the
steel trust, put in much higher bids
than the Midvale company, which is
an independent concern. Charles M.
Schwab went to Washington after the
bids were announced in the interest Of
the trust armor plants. Congress pro-
vided that the contract should be let
to the lowest responsible bidder"

SLAIN WHILE THEY SLEPT
Two Older Daughters in an Upper
Room Were UnmoIested and Quickly
Gave Alarm--House Was Set Afire.

One Of the most horrible tragedies
in the history of Rowan County, N.
c., occurred near BARRIERS Junction.
about forty miles from Greensboro
Saturday morning. Between the hours
of l and 2 o'clock an unknown per-
son or persons entered the home of
Ike Lyerly, well known farmer,
while its occupants were asleep, kill
ing Mr.. Lyerly, his wife and two Of
the youngest children, and fatally
Wounding a third
The parents and three children
were asleep in the front room on
the first floor, there being two older
daughters sleeping upstairs, who were
Unmolested and were awakened by the
smoke and flames from below, the
criminal or criminals having set fire
to the house. The two girls descend
ed the stairs to awaken their father
and mother. On reaching their room
they beheld their father and mother
and the three youngest children lying
on the bed, their heads crushed and
their faces badly disfgured.
The two older daughters, Mary
and Addie, aged Is and 16, respective
ly, managed to carry the dead bodies
from the house and extinguished the
flames. Then they ran to the nearest
neighbor, w. B. Banners, and told the
story of the awful tragedy.
There being no officers of the law
available, r. R. Millikin, train dis
patcher on duty at that hour, was no
titled and promptly wired the news
to the sheriff at Salisbury, who start
ed at once to the scene with his
bloodhounds and a posse of armed
men. Bloodhounds were also sent
from Winston-Salem to assist in the
pursuit of the muTderers.
Mr.. Lyerly was a respected citizen
and welI-connected and it is incon-
ceivable that any one should have had
anything against him or his family.
Three negro men and a negro wom-
an-George E. Erwin, Jack Dillingham;
and Mitchell Graham and his wife
were soon arrested and put in Jail at
Salisbury on suspicion Of completely
in the case.
Later the prisoners were removed
to the Charlotte Jail for safe keep
ing. There was nothing to indicate a
lynching at Salisbury, but the sheriff
thought best to move the prisoners.
The coroner's jury Saturday night
fastened the crime upon all the pris'
oners.

BANKS ARE THE LOSERS
ExonerateS Brother, Who Was Junior
Partner in Well Known Cotton Firm.
Failure Creates Sensation.

Revelation Of the financial embar-
rassment of the firm Of cotton fac
tors of Alexander & Alexander, at Au-
gusta, Ga, one Of the largest in the
state, develops discrepancies of about
$145, 900, following the disappearance
of Thomas w. Alexander, head of the
firm.
MIR. Alexander left Augusta July
18th, after borrowing 5000 from
friend, saying he was going to New
York. The following night his broth
err, Bishop Alexander, the junior
member OF the firm, received a tele-
gram from him asking that his Of
fee desk be opened and three let
tiers found there be delivered. One
of the letters was to his partner,
in which a statement was made Of
the financial embarrassment of the
firm, and saying that ii Mr.. Alex
ander was not back in Augusta by
Wednesday he would never be seen
again. Another letter was addressed

a third to Mr. Alexander's wife.
The manner in which the money
was secured has not been made known
by the three banks who are the losers,
except that it was in the shape of
loans. The Georgia Railroad bank
sustains loss of $4,000, which
was marked off its books Thursday
and charged to the surplus and UNI
divided profits accounts. This National
Bank of Augusta loses $1,000, and
the National Exchange bank $4,000.
The available assets of the firm
amount to about $4,000, while the
personal liabilities of T. w. Alex
ander, in addition to the amount Of
loans, is about $4,000.
In his letters T. w. Alexander
states that he alone is responsible,
that his brother knew nothing of the
financial end Of the business, and
had nothing to do with it. Much
sympathy IS expressed for his brother.

GUATEMALA
DECLARED WAR
Against Sister Republic Of Saliva
dor and Starts Invasion.
FIGHTING IS UNDER WAY
Real Little Scrap is Promised from
Present 0utIook--Guatemala Seems
to Have Best of the Argument.

A cablegram received at the state
department il Washington Friday
from Minister Merry, at San Salvador,
states that fighting is proceeding on
the border line between Guatemala
and Salvador, and also that Guate-
malan troops have crossed the line
into Honduras. This latter is under.
stood to be part of the Guatemalan
attack on the fugltives Of Regalado's
army after that leader was killed on
thursday
From those adyices the impression
IS given in Washington that Presi-
dent Cabrera of Guatemala holds the
key to the situation, and the question
Of waT or peace depends upon the
success Of the efforts which the state
department. is now making to induce
him to forego attacking either Sal
vador or Honduras in retaliation for
the part played in the attempted rev.
olution by the Salvatore N troops
under Regalado. The state de partment
is informed that Cabrera has gath
cred a force Of no less than forty
thousand men under arms.
AT the instance of the state depart
ment the navy department. cabled to
Commander Mulligan of the Marble
head at Panama to proceed immedi-
ately to La Libertad, on the coast
Of Salvador, to safeguard American
interests. She could arrive at that port
Friday or Saturday. There is no other
American warships within $500 miles
of the scene of trouble, so the Mar
blehead may have to divide her time
between Salvadorean and Gpatemalan
ports.
During the day a cablegram was
received at the state department frcm
Mr.. Brown, secretary of the legation
at Guatemala City. He reports con-
tfnued fighting near Conte PeQue,
in the neighborhood Of the place
where Regalado was killed. The az
gressive attitude of Salvador toward
Guatemala was, Mr.. Brown says, real
ly on account of the personal acts of
Regalado's troops. Consequently his
death has removed the principal OBJ
stacle to the restoration of peace.
Minister Merry at San Salvador
also sent a cablegram to the depart
ment stating that Salvador was quite
willing to cease hostilities, but com
planned against the aggressive atti-
tude Of Guatemala
Call to Arms by Guatemala
Fresh hostillties have taken place
on the border. The invasion of the
country by the Salvadorean troops
is considered to be declaration Of
war. War is accepted by official de-
cree. The country has been placed I'M
der martial law and there is a general
call to arms in Guatemala.

Strikers on THE WAR PATH.

Armed to the Teeth, One Hundred Take
Possession Of Government Camp.
One hundred strikers have taken
possession of the government camp
at Corbett tunnel, in the Shoshone
reservation works, eight miles from
Cody, Wyoming, and have created a
reign of terror. They threaten the
lives Of 500 other men if they return
to work.
Sheriff Halmette of Cody, with fif-
ty mounted deputies, heavily armed,
left Thursday afternoon for the scene
of the trouble. A battle is probable,
as the strikers are armed and are in
censed at the officers because they
drove them out OF Cody, July 4.
