the Courier Journal, song writer and
poet, died at his home here today of
vertigo, caused by stroke of paraly-

Col. Hays has always claimed the
authorship Of the original words of
'Dixie'' and that he was responsible
for the arrangement of the music.
His version of Dixie" was written at
the outbreak of the civil war, but the
words were considered so seditious
that the writer was arrested and COM
PEELED to change them. By that time,
it is said, Dan Emmett, the minstrel,
had written his song and his publish
er had it copyrighted. Col. Hays
most famous song was molly Darl.

Among his other songs were Keep in

Boise, Idaho, July 23-Forsaking
the theory of vengeance, as Orchards

argued that Orchard was in the en-
ploy OF the Pipkerton Detective Agen-
cy when he killed Steunenberg, and
that the murder was part of a con-
spiracy to hang Haywood.
This sudden departure was follow.
ed by tremendous denunciation of

of Colorado and all who have acted
on the side of the prosecution OF

Mr.. Richardson denounced and
charged the Pinkerton Detective

Clarence barrow will commence hi
argument in Haywood's behalf to
morrow morning. 1t is expected hi

DR.. II. L. McGee, witness for the
defense, who was arrested charged
with perjury, was discharged today

the former emperor's new pledge OF
abdication, in form positive and final,

the first nuisance was not one of abb

Ito's subservient cabinet, in an all

emperor, wrung from him a verbal
admission of the validity of his casual
abdication and secured his signature
to a classification proclamation TO
the people, also acknowledged the
mikado's congratulations to him as
emperor de facto, which has been re-
sisted by the deposed ruler during
the day.

The train backed into a string of

bridge, the concussion hurting the
tender from its trucks into the en-
CINE cab and jamming a carload Of
oil upon the trucks of the tender.
The crashing of the oil barrels threw
inflammable liquid over the engine
and into the fire box, where it ignit

the wrecked pile.
Parker was at that moment stok

Both he and Searfoss were hurled

tender bent the cab forward and
blocked the exit so that there would
have been no chance Of escape from
the flames had the men survived the
first shock. 4 ..'.....@'1
The engine remained on the bridge
a hundred feet above the road and
