MATT CANDY SHOT DOWN
 AT DOOR OF HIS BARN
Tut Brothers Phone Their Readi-
 ness to Surrender.
Brother of Victim Jamped Into Creek Under Fusiiade of Bullets And Escaped With His Life-- Definite Cause of Trouble.
 Unknown.

Damonolis. Oct. 1s--(SpeciaD--A terrible tragedy occurred at HaIs Creek. little station on the Soutneln Raiiroad about seven miles West or Demopolis this morning and as resuit Matt Candy, young white man apout 23 years old. is dead, shot tnroush sne head. a load of buckshot from double harreled shotgun entering his mouth, ana his brother, o. Dl Candy is wound. ed in the right hip. left leg and right arm. The Advertiser correspondent was able to learn. after reaching the scene of the tragedy about 3 o'clock Tn tne afternoon. was that Marvin and John Tutt rode. up in q buggy to the resi- dence of c, D. Candy. who is mer- chant and farmer. ct Halls Creek about 1O:3O this morning and, on reacn- ing the gate, met q negro boy anu asked him where the Gandy's were. The boy told them they were out at the stable feeding their horses.
 They are said to have sent the nesIo to the stable to tell the Gandy's 70 come out to the gate. The wounded man says he and his brother heard ana recognized their voices and his brother went out to see what they wanted. lust as Matt Candy stepped out of the stable 1t is said he was fired at by one of the Tutts. the shot entering his mouth and passing through his nead.
 By this time the other brother came ont of the stable and the Tutts fired at him. He ran behind the stable and jumped down an embankment into creek. He says they continued to fire at him, firing about ten or eleven shots in all.
 It is impossible to learn the cause of the trouble. The wounded man kA tFnflhtA with the Tutts. while it is said by others that they have been 'at outs for some time over g dispute concern ing some cotton Aaeds II is sRlu xnet negroes have carried messages to each of the parties at different times con- taining threats.
 The dead man was about 2S years of age, and has been on a. visit to his brother at Halls Creek for about q month. He has been living in Morgan County and had completed arrange ments to return to his home Monday morning.
 All the parties to the unfortunate af- fair are young white men and have heretofore been regarded as peaceful citizens. It is said that after the kill ing and shooting the Tutts rode to their home, about two miles from the scene of the tragedy. and sent the officers. word what they had done and that they were ready 10 surrender.
 Justice of the Peace Dobbins sum- naoned a coroner's jury and held an in- quest Sunday afternoon. but there was little more for them to learn at the inquest than this. Until a preliminary trial is had it will be impossible to learn the other side of the unfortun- ate affair. As the tragedy occurred in Sumter County the prisoners. when ar- rested, will doubtless be carried to Liv- ingston and placed in jail. The dead man will be buried at Halls Creek to- morrow morning.
 Dr. S. P. Hand of Demopolis. who attended the wounded man, pronounced his wounds not seroius.

NOT TO OPEN
 WITH PRAYER Recent Caucus Decided
 the Matter. FIRST PHILIPPINE ASSEMBLY Secretary of War Taft Win Make
 Opening Address. Comes Radicals wnI Make Fight for Control of National Party--afay Repeal Drastic sFIag1 se-

FIRST PHILIPPINE ASSEMBLY,

Manila, Oct. 1s.--Great interest ia ippine Assembly. which will take place this week and the arrival of Secre- tary Taft which comes at an oppor- ; tune time in the inauguration of Phil- ippine home rule.
 Already the contendins political fac- tions are showing great activity and at the caucus recently held. the first brush occurred over a motion to have the assembly proceedings opened with prayer. This was defeated by one vote. on the broad ground that affairs of church and state should be kept distinct. The caucus was attended by forty eight delegates.
 The action of the assembly on quesA tions relating to the political future of the Philippines is expected to be determined largely by the opinion ex-' pressed by Secretary Taft in his ad- dress opening the session. This is the view held by Fiiipinos as we'll as Americans. The latter are generally in favor of a specific pronouncement on Philippine policy.
 The course of legislative action will depend mainly, on the result of tha fight of the Gomez Radicals for com trol of the National Party. The Ma tionaiists. when united. exercise con trolling influences. but their internal divisions give Progressive Independents the balance of power. It is not likely that party spirit will play much part in the assembiy's affairs owing 10 per sonal differences within the parties,

 "The celebration at Coilinviile Is religious rite and not a blood-thirsty affair. I will discuss questions of vital concern affecting the full bloods in the new state and their spiritual welfare.

Stamboui, La. Oct. 13-The whole countryside turned out today in expect alton of seeing the President take his departure from Stambonl for the South. but in view of his change of plans, was. of course, disappointed. There was general expressions of satisfact- ion, however. over his reconsideration of determination to move to Tensas Parish for, now that the change is not to be made. Stamboul confesses candid ly that she would have been much cha grined to have her distinguished visitor go away with an empty bag be- fore the time originally fixed.
 General confidence in his success ih the new camp on Bear Lake, continues buoyant, and the reports from there are uniformly favorable. Indeed. 1t Is stated that a number of fresh trails were discovered yesterday and that on enc occasion the party came upon q good sized bear, but on account of the absence of dogs, he made his escape. The hope is very strong that when the hunt is resumed tomorrow. either this animal or another member of his family will soon be run to earth. Many of the dogs used in last weeks too country, are reported to the badly famed and that an effort is being made to replace them with fresh animals.
 It is not believed by the Presidents associates, that he will now make any
