STATE AND GENERAL ITEMS.

1t is reported that the lumbermen
in the Maine woods have lost practi-
cally all their wood road bridges by
the high water as result OF the
recent rains. The news was brought
by George G. Jones of Moxie, one OF
the best known woodsmen in the
State who came to Augusta on busl-
ness. 1t is confirmed by reports from
other sections. The water in the
woods is reported to have been three
to eight feet higher than in the spring,
and in most instances higher than Inc
ordinary spring freshet. The repulld-
ing of the wood road bridges across
brooks and over gulches will IN some
instances make serious handicap TO
lum boring operations.
A news dispatch from Milwaukee,
Wis. states that the record of fatali-
ties in the woods of Northern Wis

closed Saturday night, is far greater

years. A total of 81 hunters have lost
their lives through their own careless
ness or at the hands of hunting com
panions. while 81 and possibly more

RE PRE- ? EVE
Granted Murderer by
Gov. WIS ON ~


William Combs, the colored man
from Mcdowell county. who was
sentenced to hang at the state pen
itentiary on October 25th, for the
murder last July 3of Deputy Sheriff
Zach Dewitt, Brother Of J. r. De-
Witt. Of Bluefeld, has been granted
& reprieve by Governor Dawson un-
til Friday, the 18th gday of Decem-
ber. in order that hat, 5,tio legal compli-
cations might ahaha from suspen+
sion Of sentence gtven BY the trial
1ndge, and algn, a,a ami lion
for somyq11n omyq11n lIfat Ion u
be given a thorough invests cation.
On Che night OF July 22nd, Combs
with many other Negroes attended a
party given by one Of their race. De-
Witt, deputy. sheriff, of Mcdowell
county and several Others, approach
ed the house with the intention Of
making an arrest Of a man whom
they supposed to be there. Combs
was playing the bad man when
entered and shooting promiscuousty
One bullet struck the deputy sheriff
tAAo hAAlOu hAAhS SOLubS w as dEISSLSuS
lodged In Jail, tried and convicted Of
the deliberate murder Of WeWitt
A peculiar circumstance that en-
tors into the case is the fact that
five of the Jurors have affldaYits ac-
eompanying the plea for commu-
tation Of sentence, stating that they
discussed while in the jury room, be-
fore their verdict was rendered, the
adv1sibility Of recommending mercy
or life Imprisonment for the Negro,
but were Informed by others Of the
jury that the law had been changed
and whether mercy or, not would be
shown rested entirely with the Judge.
Thus they brought in verdict Of
guilty Of murder in the first degree
with no recommendation for mercy.
Pardon Attorney Lively will inves-
ttgate the plea for Communication
from every side.
In sentencing the prisoner to death
the trial Judge suspended execution
OF sentence for ninety days after the
rising Of the court, and this would
not expire until the 9Th day, of No.
yember, making 1t necessary for the
governor to reprieve the condemned
man, or legal complications would
follow which would likely result in
habeas corpus proceedings.

|}wko won the. hea Py-weight title 81
America by defeating Marvin Hart
and " no defended it against Jack
p,Brien g and Bill sautres, the victory
over the latter netting him the
championship of Australia, recently
stated he would take on Johnson
after his return from England, where
ne has a match on with Gunner
Moir, the boss heavy weight of Great
Britain. He, however, demands the
ring to be 16. feet square, instead of
from 20 to<24 feet. This is, he says,
to prevent the big black from making
g. runaway race OF; it. OF course,
the worlds championship hinges ON
Tomrny's fight with Moir. Should
the latter win then he, and not
Burns, will be the boss fighter of
the English-speaking world, and his
contemplated battle with Johnson
may not mature; '.-.t
Reports from Frisco state that Jim
Cofroth will go as hi igh as $4,000
Tor the match, and from Nevada
comes the report that Tex Rickard
is after 1t for q boom for Ely, New,
and that he will outbid Coffroth.
Burns has become attached to Jim's
ofer, but with commercialism as his
motto he Is holding off for a larger
offer. He thought Tom McCarey
would see Coffroth's bid and go him
few thousand better, but Tom has
had his fill Of big offerings, and will
permit 'Coffroth and Rickard to dig
into their jeans for fthe prize. 1t
cost McCarey $4,000 in cold cash
for the recent joe Gans- Jimmy Burns
hight, not counting his expenses for
advertising and handling the event,
aad 1t only netted him 1885. That,
he argues, is too much like holding
the bag for the benefit of posing as
a promoter. Johnspn's fight with
jim Flynn, which is, scheduled to
take, place before Coffroth's club on
December 26, Is considered q fore.
runner to the Burns-Johnson fight
johnson never has been a box-office
magnet on the coast. This was dem
onstrated when he fought Marvin
Hart In Frisco in March, 1905, since
which he has not been given the OPP
portunity to demonstrate. CofTroth
however, believes johnson can be
made an attraction, hence his match
with Flynn The latter went down
to defeat before Tommy Burns in IS
rounds, so Jack will have to make a
quicker JOB Of 1T to be considered in
Burns class. =
