Of Jim Smith, Brakeman On
the Illinois Central
Railroad.
BOTH APE COLORED.
Probable Murderer Ran Up
Main Street and Was
Arrested.

A tragedy was enacted at the l.
C. depot about 1890 yesterday.
VIM. Brent, COL, shot and perhaps
fatally wounded Jim Smith, a color
ed brakeman on the ]. C. freight
train. Smith was holding a small
negro boy off the track from in front
of a train. The boy was trying to
get away when VIM. Brent ran up
and opened fire on Smith with a pis-
tol, shooting him four times, three
times through the body and once in
the forearm. Brent then ran up
Ninth street, pursued by Smith,
who fell about fifty yards from the
depot Brent was arrested at Sew
enth and Main by Officer Merritt.
Smiths wounds are believed to be
mortal. Either of the three wounds
in his breast would be sufficient to
cause death.
The wounded man stated that he
was holding the boy out of the was
of the train and had no intention of
hurting him. His home waa in
Princeton, where his family lives.

Situation in Christian.

The situation between the buyers
and the farmers organization in
Christian coun1y is regarded as be-
ing on the best and most satisfactory
basis of any time since the organiza-
tions were formed. When the
"army of peace" had its meeting
here on November IA and requested
the dealers not to attempt to buy
any more tobacco from members of
the Planters Protective association
or the American Society of Equity,
the dealers, without a single except
ion, agreed to this readily. many of
them stating that it had been their
policy not to interfere with any
farmers who had pooled their tobac-
CO. The "army of peace" did not
ask that the dealers should stop buy
ing from the independent farmers.
SO the two classes seem to have ar
rived at mutually satisfactory under
standing, and that neither will vio-
late the terms of the contract.

COMMONS CALLS 1T OFF
Says The Men Lost And
There is a Scramble
For Old Jobs.

Louisville, KY, Nov. 22.-The
strike of the Louisville railway men,
which had lasted twelve days, was
declared off last evening by unani
nous vote of those of the company's
former employees who met at Beck's
Hall following a call for the execut
i've committee of the union. The
men, through Ben Commons, mem
Der Of the International Executive
committee of the union, and leader
of the strikers, declared that they
had lost undeniably. This action
was taken after the leaders of the
union realized that any further eff
forts on their part would be futile,
and following the riot led by mem
bers of the union Monday night,
the confessions of some and the ar
rest of large number, with the
summary action of Judge McGee in
holding those arrested under a bond
of $4,000 each. These events fol-
lowing so closely upon each other
did not leave the result in doubt,
and al yesterday before the union
members took any formal action,
there was a scramble Of the old men

LAST CHANCE.
Court of Appeals Says Gov
ernor May Act.

The Court of Appeals dissolved
temporary injunction granted by
Judge Miller in the case of Clarence
Sturgeon, and unless Gov. Beckham
acts favorably on a petition signed
by the members of the jury that
convicted him, asking that the SEN
tence be commuted to life imprison-
ment, the triple murderer will die
on the gallows. The court held that
the statute directing that the Gov
ernor fix the date of execution was
constitutional and Gov. Beckham
will fix a new date for the hanging.

District Working in Great

ASSOCIATION CONTROLS
Great Activity is Manifest
and Things Look Like
Old Times.

The following excellent review of
the tobacco situation, sent out from
this city, is reproduced as a fair and
correct statement:
Hopkinsville, KY, Nov. 26.-The
heavy receipts of tobacco during the
past three days have caused an old
time activity on the local tobacco
market. This activity was not so
much in the selling line as it was in
the handling of the tobacco; but
even at this everybody was kept
busy and in good humor. The to-
bacco which is now coming in is
largely consigned to the Planters
Protective Association, and until it
is priced and sold the farmers will
not realize the full value, though
the prizers make liberal allowances
on it prior to the sale. More asso-
citation tobacco is being handled in
Hopkinsville this season than ever
before, and indications are that the
increase already shown is only a
sample of what may be expected
from now until the crop is finally
disposed of.
The independent rehandling hous-
es are receiving their purchases
daily, but on account of the large
majority of the farmers being mem
bers, and refusing to sell except
through the organizations, they have
not been able to make as heavy
purchases as usual. These houses
will probably not start their ma
chinery before the middle of De-
cember
On the loose floor a good sale was
held Friday, about 10000 pounds of
the weed being sold. Prices ranged
from $3.50 to $3.50 for lugs and So
to $1O.75 for leaf. There was no
fine leaf offered, and when this be-
gins to come in, even higher prices
are expected.
The hogshead market was COM
pletely at stand still, there being
so little of last years tobacco left
over that nothing was doing.
The local statesmen for the associa-
tion reports the receipts of a few
hogsheads of association tobacco,
this being regarded as very early
indeed for hogsheads receipts.
Hopkinsville Kentuckian., 1907-11-28
Prizers' Complaint.

There has been some complaint
made by the prizers for the Plant
ers' Protective association. The priz-
ers receive rs ceats per hundred
pounds for classifying and prizing
the tobacco sent to them. They are
paid so cents of this amount when
the tobacco is delivered to a storage
house, but the remaining 25 cents is
not paid to them until the tobacco
is sold. The prizers claim that this

GOOD PROSPECT
Of FREIGHT
RELEASE

Practically the whole Northern
Pacific and Great Northern systems
are now open for traffic. Trains
will soon be running on the old
schedule again on the G. N. and N.
p. trains are today about five
hours late on the average. Heavy
freights are being fastened both
ways.
The o. R. & N. line was not open
between Pendleton and Walla
Walla today. but all the main line
is clear and delayed freight is be-
ing fastened to its destination as
fast as possible. About 260 cars
of freight are standing on the
tracks at Umatilla, waiting to be
distributed. Much OF the freight
on the tracks On all the roads is
consigned TO Spokane.
Stores are running short all over
town. No spring goods are on
hand and supplies in many of the
grocery lines are badly depleted.
Prices are advancing On account of
the delay.

TALK AH0uTTROUBlES
he HAS 'EM

Harry Bikes was arrested again
yesterday afternoon. During the
last few months he has become the
champion trouble maker for the po-
lice. Soon after the Interstate fair
closed Bikes was charged with
skipping out owing the Mattresses
and cooks employed at his restau-
rant on the fair grounds. Then he
was arrested for trying to dispose
of a coffee urn. Then his waitress
es secured judgment against him in
the superior court for wages. Fol
lowing the judgment Bikes made
affidavit that at no time during the
fair was he possessed of more than
$40. 1t seems that Miss Gum has
kept on his trail, for yesterday she
swore out warrant charging
Bikes with perjury.
