JONES THE AVENGER
NOTED CHARACTER SHOOTS AND
 KILLS JOHN MCPHERSON.
Tragedy Occurs at Bates Farm Just Outside WashingtOn--SIayer
 Tried to XIII Assassin of Garfield

Washington, Oct. I1.--Noted for having attempted to avenge the death of President Garfield by shooting at Guiteau, the assassin. William Jones, locally known as "Bill Jones the Avenger," tonight shot and killed John A McPherson, of Detroit, Mich, at Bates Farm near Brooklyn. on the outskirts of this city.
 The weapon used was a shot gun and McPherson's breast was riddled with buckshot. several of which penetrated his heart.
 Jones was arrested shortly after the crime was committed. He was brought to this city and lodged in jail. Jones admitted that he shot McPherson, but claims that he acted in self defense. The two men had been drinking, 1t is said. and quarreled over the posses sion of a horse. McPherson, who was twenty mine years old had been work ing on Jones farm since last June.
 Several days following upon Rresi- dent Garfield's death Guitteau was talk en to court for a preliminary hearing and It. was while he was being return ed to jail. under charge of District Marshal Corkill that Jones attempted to shoot him. Jones. riding a spirit ed horse, followed the prison van from the court house to within several blocks of the station, when he sudden ly spurred his horse. darted through the crowd, drew a revolver and fired into the van. Guitteau. who was sit- ting near the door. caught a glimpse of Jones as he drew the weapon and lodged.
 Jones escaped arrest at that time. He was captured shortly afterwards near Fredericksburg. Va. Jones was tried and acquitted.

 It seems that there Is band of horsemen. who have organized with the intention of driving the negroes out of this neighborho ood. It Is supposed that the lower class of white farmers have plotted to drive the negro ten- nants from the rich farms. so that they may rent the land after the ne- groes are gone, It seems that several of the negroes have received anonymous refuge with their efnuloyers. The best they did not leave the country they would be killed and titir houses have been fired into by bands Of torsemen. Some of the negroes sleep out iu the woods. being afraid to remain In their homes. and some have taken refuge with their mpIoyers. The best class of the white farmers are dotns everything possible to. protect the negroes.
 , The land ownerssin Beat 9 are great. ly worried over the state of affairs and unless something is done the ne, groes1 will leave the country and the cotton. crop will not be gathered.

 KELLY'S BODY IS RECOVERED Rose to Surface of the Water. REMAINS TAKEN TO MOBILE Body Is Bruised About Face and
 Head.
 s- It Is Now Thought that Engineer Kelly Jumped From Engine in an Effort to Save His
 Life.
REMAINS TAKEN TO MOBILE

Jackson. Oct. 11.--(Special. 1.-The body of Frank Kelly. the engineer who lost his life in the drawbridge tragedy at the Tombigbee River here last Fri day morning. when engine Mo- 1z2 and eight cars of an extra freight train plunged into an open draw bridge. rose to the surface today at o'clock
 Much to the surprise of all the peo- pie who were familiar with the sad ac, cident. the. body rose behind the pier over which the engine and cars had plunged. This gives evidence that Mir. Kelly made an effort to save his life when he saw that there was no chance to avert the disaster. It is now sup posed that when the negro fireman. John Charles, told Mir. Kelly that the bridge was open and jumped himself that Mir. Kelly jumped also but not with the good fortune of the negro to catch to. a bar of the bridge. The body is bruised about the face and head. which Is an indication that his head struck a bar of the bridge as he jumped.
 A negro who was with Mir. Wilson. the bridgeman. said Friday that he thought he saw the engineer jump from his engine. and that he heard the man hollow before he struck the water. but Mfr. Wilson was confident that the negro was mistaken and said that his opinion was that what tho negro thought was noise made by the en- gineer was the noise made by the hot engine as 1t struck the water.
 Dixon and Mckay, undertakers of Mobile. arrived on the northbound train. prepared the body for burial and took 1t to Mobile on the south bound train tonight
 Engineer Riser, of Mobile has besn here for the past two days to assist in the recovery of the body and ac- companied it to Mobile.
