SAYS ALDERMAN KEY
FOMENTED TROUBLE
President of the Georgia Railroad
Says Employees Were Not Dis
charged for Forming Union.

Atlanta, March 22.-(Special.)-A the
result of the discharge of a number of
employees of the Georgia Railway and
Electric company at Atlanta, the charge
being that they were fired because they
attempted to organize a union, President
Arkwright tonight issued a statement to
the Constitution, in which he stated that
Alderman James Key had meddled with
men of the company, mad tried to dis
satisfy them, had told them that he
hated the company, had fought it, and in
tended to continue fighting 1t.
He laid the whole blame of the agita-
tion on the shoulders of the alderman,
and charged him with using the men of
the company against the interests Of the
company. He denied emphatically that
the men had been discharged for trying
to form union, but rather for engaging
in a conspiracy against the company,
their discharge being the result of the
advice of the man who had nlisled them.
Alderman Key answers that he had not
entered into a conspiracy, that the COM
pany has attacked him because he has
been foremost in agtating municipal
ownership, and accuses the company OF
a dictatorial attitude toward the en-
ployes.

Hundreds of Men and Women Wit

Central Part of Business
District.

Fort Worth, Tex, March 22.-Following
a raid ON an alleged gambling house late
today County Attorney jeff D. Mclean
was shot and killed and Hamil z. Scott,
a member Of the raiding party, fatally
wounded by William Thompson, pro-
prietor of the resort raided. Half an hour
later Thompson was surrounded in lum-
ber yard within hundred yards of where
Scott was shot down and captured after
a desperate fight, in which Thompson re-
ceiyed bullet wounds that will probably
cause his death within few hours.
The series of tragedies were of the most
sensational and spectacular character
and were witnessed by hundreds of men
and women, including many members of
the state legislature here in attendance
on fat stock show.
The house raided is located on Main
street, near the corner of Sixth, right In
the heart of the retail district. Shortly
before clock County Attorney Mclean,
heading a party of deputies, forced an en-
trance into the place, placed a number
of men under arrest and loaded a furn-
iture van with t; D es and other parapher-

furniture had Just moved off when

lodging behind billboard at the corner
of Seventh and Tllrockmorton streets,
Thompson ambushed Scott, shooting the
deputy three times in the body. When
Scott fell Thompson stopped only long
enough to discard his empty pistol for
that carried by the dying deputy and
then renewed his flight. By this time a
score of policemen and deputy sheriffs,
followed by hundreds of excited men and
boys, were in pursuit of Thompson, who
found temporary refuge in a lumber shed
just across the street from the Touraine
hotel, the most fashionable hostlery in the
city.
Here he was located by Patrolmen Bell
and Lloyd. Thompson by this time, thor
oughly desperate and with the cry of
lynch him. ringing in his ears, was
ready for a fight to the death. While
the crowd which had followed him were
willing enough to cry lynch him." and
would have followed a leader, the whole
thing happened so suddenly that the mob
hesitated. But Policeman Dennis Lloyd
had seen the fugitive enter the lumber
yard and followed him there.
Finally Thompson was located behind
a stack of lumber. He saw the officers
about the same time the officers saw him
and they fired at each other at close
ranCe almost simultaneously. What the
effect of this exchange was is not known.
but Policeman Bell coming to the aid
of his brother officer at this time, was
directed around the other side of the
lumber pile with the idea of heading off
escape and while the crowd was eau
tiously feeling it way at the door of the
lumber yard, Bell and Llyod opened on
Thompson and the latter returned their
fire,

Thompson Wounded.

thompson Wounueo.
The officers wounded Thompson in three
places and he is probably fatally injured
As soon as Thompson had emptied his
gun and received the wounds which may
result in his death. the officers, whose
own pistols had been emptied, fell upon
him with bare hands and bore him to the
ground, taking the pistol away from him
an. making him a prisoner.
As soon as the shots were heard on
the inside of the lumber yard, the mob
on the outside numbered fully 5000 per-
sons Soon the news spread that five
officers had been killed by the desperate
man in the lumber yard, and there were
renewed cries of 'lynch him." but there
was no leader and the crowd was impo-
tent. As the story was repeated the crowd
became wilder and more excited, and
men. women and boys surged in great
mass about the streets intersectng at
, hrockmorton and Seventh. None. how
ever, dared to enter the lumber yard.
Thompson Dragged Out.
At this time the police patrol wagon
came dashing through the crowd and soon
tn, officers came out dragging Thomp-
son with them. end holding their re-
volvers in their hands. The mob then
threw themselves upon the officers and
were only prevented from attacking
Thompson by the declaration that the
double murderer was dead. He was
loaded into the wagon and lying it its
floor it dashed off down the street, two
blocks to the police station. With men
hanging on the steps of the wagon, and
demanding the life of the wounded pris-
oner, the race was made to the station
and the prisoner was carried bodily into
the police hospital. The story was then
spread that he Eas dead and the mob
quieted.
Tonight Thompson is believed to be dy-
ina.
County Attorney Mclean had been an
frnplacable foe to gambling. He has led
a hundred raids since he has been in
office. and last fall the gamblers opposed
him at the polls. but he was reelected.
He was a son of the first railroad COM
missioner of Texas, and former member
of Congress.
There is talk here tonight of order
ins every gambler out of the city at
once, and more severe measures are ad-
yocated in some quarters.

H. C. Pigg came down from the
Strrup ranch Thursday night to pro-
cure some needed tools preliminary

the haying season will last about three
weeks and that the crop will be above
the average and quality, due to favor
ing conditions Of rainfall and temper
ture. Mr.. Pigg says his geological farm
Is proving a success and that 1t Is
no longer in the experimental stage.
He has now forty-six head Of elk, be-
sides a nice herd Of deer, in his big
eight hundred acre inclosure, and they
are all doing we'll. The eight-foot wire
fence, which surrounds the feeding
ground Is Of comparatively little
trouble to keep In repair, according to
Mr.. Pigg, and that elk and deer are
more easily kept inclosed than cattle
or other domestic stock. Mr.. Pigg
rides around the fence. or has some
one to do 1t for him, to see that 1t Is
in proper condition every two or three
days at this time Of the year. During
the winter months and In windy
