MISTAKES FRIEND FOR TRAMP.
George Friezen Shoots III. VI. MisneT
of Henderson in the Leg.

George FrieZen, cashier of the bank
at Henderson, and several business
men, having been notified that suspi-
cious looking tramps were beating
their way on the train toward Hender-
son, organized a posse to find the
tramps and drive them out of town. 1t
was reported that the tramps acted
like bank robbers and We're supposed
to carry with them nitr0glycerlne,
fuses, etc, and that their intention
was to rob one of the banks at Hen
derson. The business men went to the
stock yards adjoining the railroad
track, and in looking for the tramps
became separated, and as one part
of the crowd came around a crib the
other part were coming around in the
opposite direction and Mr.. FrieZen
called upon them to halt, and think
ing that these were the trampS, i'm
mediately fired at them with 32-caI-
lber revolver. II. NJ Misner. former
merchant Of Charleston, was hit and
Immediately made known who he was.
The bullet entered the f1eshy part of
his leg, and while it appeared at the
time quite serious it is now believed
that he will only be confined to his
bed two or three weeks. No trace OF
the tramps was found; they had dis
appeared.

One Man Killed and Over Score
Injured.

The Southern Pacific coast line linn
tied, was wrecked at West Glendale,
Cal, early Wednesday. The wreck
was the deliberate work of train
wreckers. One man was killed and
twenty-five injured, three probably ia
tally.
In accomplishing the wrek devilish
ingenuity was exercised. At a point
on a trestle over the Arroyo SecO the
fish plates and bolts of two connect
ing rails on the southbound track had
been removed, and in the apertures
whence the bolts were taken strands
Of heavy wire We're fastened at the
end of each rail. From the appear
ance of the track after the wreck it
wGS evident some person, hidden on

pulled the wire as the train approach
ed and spread the rails outward to-
ward the end of the trestle.

SETTLING THE CoPPLE ESTATE.
Value of Estate is About $4,000, with
$1,000 Life Insurance.

Last Saturday ]. o. Copple, w. II.
Copple, Elmer E. Copple and w. w.
Reed, the three former brothers of the
late Walter Copple, who was murdered
near Rosalie, and the latter a brother
in-law. came to Pender and made ap-
plicatiOn for letters of administration
for their brothers estate and guard
ianship papers for the children.
J. O. Copple, formerly a county
commissioner of that county, will be
appointed to both positions. The esti-
mated value of the estate is 100000,
with $4,000 life insurance in favor OF
the murdered wife and four older
children.
During their stay in Pender the
brothers stated to a number of par
ties that they were opposed to lynch
law and wanted Burke, alias Higgins,
to be tried and receive his just deserts
in the regular way. There is little or
no excitement now, and it is hardly
probable that any effort will be made
to lynch the murderer when he is
brought to Pender for a hearing. No
complaint has as yet been filed, and it
is possible that nothing will be done
for several days yet.

COREY IN DEAL WITH SCHWAB.
Almost Certain TO Quit Steel CcToOr,
tiOIl.


There was made public in PittsbrrG
Wednesday evening in the financia.
district a rather startling story in ef-
feet that Charles NJ. Schwab and Will
lam Ellis Corey have practically
agreed on a move by which both shall
be interested to the full extent of their
capital in the Bethlehem Steel COM
pany irf the near future. This, of
course, is contingent on the resigna-
ton of Corey from the head of the
steel corporation, a condition which is
now thought in Pittsburg, as we'll as
the east, to be but matter of few
days. 1t is understood that all details
for this move have been completed.
and the undoubted fact that Schwab
and a score more are unloading all
their steel corporation stock at the
new top price gives ground to the re-
port.
While in Pittsburg a few days ago
Mr.. Schwab to a party of friends
spoke most highly of the ability of his
successor as head Of the big corpora
llOn, ana lett lfleHl dll Will TIE III
preston that Corey would, at the eX-
piration of his time with the corpora
| ton, become affiliated with him in his
Bethlehem works. That he needed
such a man as Corey with his brain
and his money, Mr.. Schwab left no
doubt
This story leaked out only late Wed
nesday evening. On the heels of this
| Alva Dinkey, of the Carnegie Steel
| company, the corporation from which
all the presidents of the big steel cor
| poration up to date have come, broke
his usual silence, and in a rather short
| interview practically gave weight to
the rumor that Corey might retire by
| saying the present head of the steel
| corporation would not need to look

JUDGE HARGIS IS NOT GUILTY.
Verdict of Jury in COckrill Murder
Case

Case
The jury in the case of Judge James
Hargis at Lexington, KY, charged
with the murder of Thomas Cockrlll,
Wednesday morning returned a YER
dict Of not guilty.
On June 21, 1904, Cockrill was shot
in the court house at Jackson. Dur
ing the trial several witnesses swore
that Hargis, his brothers and Sheriff
Ed Callahan had entered into muir
der conspiracy, promising immunity to
anyone who would shoot Cockrill, DR..
B. D. Cox and J. B. Marcum, all three
Of whom have since died by shooting.
The defense, however, presented testl-
mony tending to disprove a conspiracy
charge. Hargis, testifying in his own
behalf, denied all connection with the
shooting. Curt Jett, who confessed to
killing Marcum, for which he was Civ
en- a. life sentence, was a witness
against Hargis.
The next trial in this series will be
called at Sandy Hook on May 27, and
then the same defendants will be tried
for the murder of DR.. Cox.

all ministers to regard the comfy that

ton Of our church to members of an
other church whose marriage is in vio-
lation Of the laws Of the church
whose communion they have chosen.
Rev. Charles T. Dickey, of Philadei-
phia, chairman of the committee
which presented the report, referring
to the recent marriage of President
Corey, of the United States steel cor
.poration, said:
What we had heard about Mr..
Corey cleared the way. The condem-
nation of public opinion was some
thing itself to make US rejoice, and
surely if the editorials of our news
papers and public opinion is rising
to a high standard it is time that we
take the lead in this, as in everything,
and give an example Of the church
cleansing itself from lax divorce and
