fFrom Thursday Daily.D

The third day of the Maury county

attendance and the indications at
noon were that the attendance would
reach the record-breaKIng third day
of the fair last fall Every one seems
enthusiastic and filled with interest
at the big show being put on by the
association, and there is a hurry and
hustle and confusion that is inspiring
and pleasing.
This is Giles County Day and har-
ness stock day as we'll All trains
came in loaded, particularly the train
from the south, the country people
are in force and the big hitch yard is
filed with vehicles. The special at
fractions are doing the best business
of the week, ana in fact there is
smile and look of satisfaction on the
faces of all that won't come off.
The arena displays began early, as
some of the classes were carried over
from Wednesday. and an effort was
made to finish those and today's pro-
gram too. The classes were we'll
filed with high class horses and the
contests were close in nearly every
instance, So that the judges had their
work cut out for them. Cans band
was playing with energy and more
satisfactorily than ever, and in fact
everything was moving smoothly and
satisfactorily.
The floral hall was center of at
traction for many and the work of
woman's hands, the special displays,
the apiary exhibit and the experiment

share of the interest. J. M. Davis de-
livered an interesting address at IL

and instructive talk on pure foods.
The racing program today was the

THEIR DEATH.
TRAGEDY FOLLOWS STRUGGLE
IN Effort to Save His Own Life Negro
Frantically Pulls Another
To Death.

CINCINNATI. Sept. 16.-In a wildly
desperate effort to save himself from
being hurled to the rock pavement
100 feet below, Jos. WINFIELD, a ne
gro mason's helper at the new Heekin
Spice & Can Company's building,
Sixth and Culvert streets, clutched at
William Mayfeld, a mason, forced him
from his balance and then both men,
topping from the dizzy scaffold went
struggling and crashing TO the pave
ment below. Mayfield died at the
Good Samaritan Hospital. WINFIELD
died at the City Hospital.
Hundreds of people below witnessed
the terrible struggle and tragedy, not
only powerless to render help, but so
fascinated with the horror of it that
they could hardly move.
The negro tender had just emptied
his hod of brick at the feet of May
field. The sudden relief from the load
he had been carrying seemed to dizzy
him as he raised himself erect He
thrust his foot back to steady
himself, but instead of striking the
solid planking of the high scaffold, it
grazed over the edge.
Thrown entirely from his balance,
and with death in that instant staring
him in the face, the negro made a
wild lunge with his arm at Mayfield,
catching him at the sleeve. But al.
ready Winkheld's weight was toppled
over dizzy heights and as he caught
Mayfield, the weight of his falling
body dragged the mason over with
sudden force.
Mayfield also caught at the body of
the falling negro. For a brief instant
as their bodies hung over the dizzy
edge, the two men grappled and strug-
gled in each others arms But there
was nothing to keep them back and
the next instant the Mortified crowd
below saw the two struggling bodies
come hurting toward them, turning
over and over in their mid-aid strug-
gle.
Bystanders called for help and May
field was rushed to the Good Samari.
