HEROIC ACT OF
POLICE OFFICER
SAVES CHILDREN FROM INJURY
AND POSSIBLE DEATH AT
CHICAGO.

CHICAGO. June 21-The lives Of
200 children were endangered today
by a runaway horse at Sixty-third
street and South Park avenue. and il
was the courage of Policeman ].
ORourke that prevented a serious ac-
cident. The children, who were wait
ing for street cars to take them to the
park for picnic, were standing in a
dense crowd, when the horse that had
wandered from a livery stable near by,
came dashing down upon them. The
horse was not harnessed nor attached
to a vehicle.
O'Rourke seeing that some of the
children must surely be injured or
killed. ran into the street and threw
his arms around the neck of the horse.
He was dragged more than 100 feet,
his right shoulder was fractured, as
were some of the bones in his right
hand, but he held on and checked the
horse within fifty feet of the crowd of
children.

FESSED MURDERER, REcoV-
ERs DAMAGES FOR 1T.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, June PA YER
dict for the plaintiff for $3.50 damages
was rendered by the jury in the Uni
ted States Circuit Court today in the
libel case of John Spain VS.. the News
Scimitar Publishing Company.
Spain, who lived at Pocahontas,
Ark, at the time of the publication of
the alleged libelous articles in the
News-Scimitar, claimed damages of
$40 900 to his character because the
paper printed story in which he was
said to have died, and while on his
deathbed confessed to the murder of
his brother-in-law, who had died
few years ago.
G. D. Raine, the President of the
News-Scimitar Company, was also
named as a defendant in connection
with the suit against the company.
The jury however, decided that as an
individual he was not liable.

Patterson Monday night, when asked

the people of Memphis, and their Sena-

and respect of all classes. They were

"Of course l regret the finding of
the Supreme Court, which forces the
old conditions upon the people, and
regard it as a serious blow to the well
fare and best interests of Memphis;
but this alone would not justify an
extraordinary session of the Legisla-

MILITIA HELD
IN READINESS
GOVERNOR TAKES PRECAUTIONS
IN KIDNAPPING CASE.
Prisoners To Be Transferred To Rural
Parish.-Excitment Has
subsidized.

NEW ORLEANS, June 24.-The
State militia was notified today by
Gov. Blanchard to hold itself in in
stant readiness to protect the Italians
arrested in the Lamana kidnapping
case. This order was issued because
the prisoners will probably be trans
ferred in a few days from the New
Orleans parish prison, where they are
considered safe, to st. Charles parish,
where the boy was killed and where
the trials must be held.
This parish is an entirely rural COM
munity, with small police protection,
and within such a short distance of
New Orleans that mobs from this city
could reach there in ten hours. 1t Is
also expected that escorts will be
needed if the police arrest any OF the
four Italians still at large who are
changed with the murder by those
under arrest.
Although in the city the excitement
has entirely subsidized, yet the tenn
per of the crowds was shown today
when about 100 men formed and made
threats at the United States custom
house against an Italian whose name
closely resembled that of one of the
murder suspects.
Up to tonight fifteen prisoners have
been placed in Orleans parish prison,
three of them women. The State will
attempt to charge conspiracy in the
murder against half of those under
arrest, and murder itself against one
If them.

BOTTLES OF WHISkEY
IN LOAvES OF BREAD
SALooNKEEPER'S SCHEME TO
PROVIDE THIRSTY WITH

LEXINGTON, KY, June pa. W.
Carmichael who has grocery and
saloon at Sixth and Limestone
streets, was fined $50 and costs in the
Police Court today on the charge of
having ''the lid Off at his place yester-
day. He was also summoned to APP
pear before the Mayor tomorrow to
show cause why his license should not
be Cancelled.
The Mayor has received a number
of letters charging that Carmichael
has been selling liquor regularly on
Sunday and after closing haurs One
letter from a woman states that Car
michael has been in the habit of
scooping out the interior of loaf of
bread, leaving only the outside crust,
and of inserting a bottle of whisky in
the hollow, so that the purchaser
could carry the liquor away in the
quest of an innocent loaf of bread from
the grocery. The writer alleged that
one Sunday night she had to eat the
crust of such a loaf for her supper
as her husband had spent all the
money he had for the bottle of whis-
KY which the crust concealed.

CANNOT KEEP OUT
CONSUMpT|vE PATIENTS
FEDERAL AUTHORITIES THINK
TEXAS MUST LET THEM IN.

WASHINGTON, June 24.-It is the
opinion of the Federal authorities that
it will be impossible for the State of
Texas to keep consumptives out of
the State by establishing quarantine
against the tuberculosis patients in
advanced stages Of the disease. The
Texas authorities have consulted with
the Washington officials regarding
their right to take such drastic steps.
The officials here regard it as very
doubtful whether such a quarantine
would be upheld by the Supreme
Court. 1t is said that it would be
contrary to the privilege that citizens
have OF going freely from one State to
another
At any rate, the State would have
to establish in each individual case
that there was consumption present
in a degree to constitute a real men,
ace to the public health. Consumption
is not a quarantinable disease of the
United States in either maritime or
interstate matters. There was even
a big row several years ago against
the yellow fever quarantine.

CARMACK
MUCH GRATIFIED
OVER DECISION IN MEMPHIS
CHARTER CASE.
But Could Expect Nothing Different
From An Honest Court.
avs the Nashville Tennessean:

Says the Nashville Tennessean:
Probably no man in Tennessee was
more gratified at the decision of the
supreme court declaring unconstitu
tional the Memphis charter bill than
Senator Edward w Carmack, who led
the memorable fight against the enact
ment of that measure The senator
was in Nashville for a short time yes
terday en- route from Kentucky, where
he has been delivering lectures, to Co
lumbia.
In an interview given out yesterday
Senator Carmack caustieally arraigns
The so-called charter bill and the SEN
ator did not fail also to speak his
mind concerning the alleged activity
of the railroad monopoly to promote
the passage of the act He stated that
he had no fears of an extra session.
The senator said:
Il am, of course, much pleased with
the decision, but expected it too con-
fidently to go into raptures. No man
could have expected from this court
anything but an absolute honest de-
cision; and how any could have hoped
that an honest judge would uphold
such law passes my comprehension.
The court not only condemns the law
as unconstitutional, but brands it with
infamy, as an effort to bestow arbi-
trary and despotic power.
This attempt to erect an independ
ent despotism in the midst of free
state was for no other purpose than to
strengthen the hands of a political
machine. The whole scheme was the
fruit of improper relations between a |
railroad corporation and a political
ring and it inherited all the vices of
both parents. 1t was conceived in sin,
was born in shame and died a con-
victed felon by the sentence of the |
court"
what of the talk of an extra ses-
sion?" was asked.
mo extra session can blow life into
this bill, said the senator. IF one is
called, however, l hope the governor
will include in his call authority to
the legislature to investigate the meth
DDS by which this bill was passed"
Senator Carmack on reaching Nash
Vile sent the following telegram to
Mayor Malone:
Hon. James H. Malone, Mayor of
Greater Memphis, Memphis, Tenn:
with all my heart congratulate
you on the triumph of judicial integ-
.ity over political corruption.
'E. w. CARMACK."
Mr.. Carmack also sent congratu-
atory telegram to Judge Floyd.

AN UNUSUAL CASE
JOHN LoGUE, INDICTED FOR MUIR
DER q YEARS AGO GIVES
HIMSELF UP AND rs
CLEARED.
Has Wandered Over The World And
Accumulated A Fortune.-WilI
Probably Enter Business
In Columbia.

: A case of unusual interest and one
probably never before equalley in the
courts of Maury county, came up Mon
day in the Circuit Court when Mr..
John Logue, late of California. pre-
scented himself before the court to an
swer an Indictment charging murder
in the first degree. found against him
by the grand jury of Maury county
in 1885.
Mr.. Logue was scarcely more than
a boy when the indictment was found,
and since then his wanderings have
carried him around the world. He
has fought under the stars and stripes
in the Philippines, worked in many
capacities in the west, and finally after
accommodating a comfortable fortune
the longing for the home of his boy
hood grew strong within him ard he
returned TO clear his name of the
charge which had stood against him
all these years.
John Logue and Ed Embry, men,
bers of prominent and well-to-do fam
lilies of the Broadview neighborhOod,
were inseparable friends. Embry had
a difficulty with negro, Frank Stock
ard, and Stockard it is said, threat
ened on several occasions to kill EN-
bry at the first opportunity. The lat
ter determined to protect himself and
felt that after the threats, self-preserv-
alton demanded that he take the ini-
tiative if Stockard ever approached
him. He loaded his gun with buck
shot and one day while he and Logue =,
we're riding down a road near Broad
view they met Stockard and Embry,
it is said, fired and killed the negro.
The two boys were given n prelimi-
nary hearing before a magistrate OF
their neghborhood and were released,
but, it is said, were advised by their
attorney, the late George Taylor, that
the Grand Jury might indict them and
that they had best leave the state.
They acted on the advice and left, and
sure enough the grand jury did indict
hem. They turned their footsteps to-
ward the west and finally drifted
apart. Embry was last heard of in
Texas and it is believed died in that
state.
Mr.. Logue communicated with a
Columbia attorney some time since
md was advised to give himself up,
md present his evidence before the
.ourt. He did SO and after an investi-
,ation, Judge Holding had an order of
Iolle prosequi entered in the case. It
$ probable that Mr.. Logue will enter
BUSINESS in Columbia.
