SON GIVES TRAGIC DETAILS


Lexington, KY, March 21.-C. II.
Hedges. the twenty-one-year-old son
of the man murdered near Carlisle
last night, gives the following graphic
account of the murder which differs
in most respects from the accounts at
first sent cut.
Eve were awakened about midnight

to me:
"'There are too many of them out

81 got up and dressed. He turned
around and went back to the window
and saw gathered about the house
about seveuty-five men, l thought, all
masked, and carrying guns.
my father then suggested that we
go down to the front door and see
what they wanted and ] accompanied
him down. We We're both in our nigh
clothes. My father had picked up
his shotgun as ne came into my room
but Set 1t down before he went to the
door.
"My father opened the door just
wide enough and looked out He then
said: 1T would be of no use for me
TO fire into that crowd Ii was then
that he turned around, went back into
the hall and set the gun down ten
feet away from the door. We both
then went back TO the door and looked
out.
a.y father said: What do you
gentleman want?'
"They answered, Step out here
"My father went out on the porch
and they ordered him to come out on

But / want to say to you that have

"All this time | was standing look
ing over his shoulder. My father
then went on talking. Il want to do
what is right he said. 4 have

tended planting another. But If you
will go away and not do any harm,
will plow up the bed l had intended
planting and never put canvas on the

Joke, your coming here, but l wish
you would go away.
\"Just then some one In the crowd
fired a shot, and my father stagger-
ed back crying: oh, l am shot
"He turned and went into the house
with me following. He went on into
the Kitchen, where he fell ON his
face. turned him over and found
that he had been shot in the left
side. 1 picked him up by his Shout
ders and dragged him ON into his ROOF
and laid him on the bed. then went
back to the door and faced the mob.
zone of them called out: Where is
the old man? l said, Gentlemen, you

some one to help me- One of them
said: II don't believe he is shot
Il then answered.: Gentlemen, my
father Is lying in there on his bed.

LUMBERNIEN WIN VICTORY.
Entitled to Lower Rates Eastward
Than Coast.

Washington, d. c., June ca
Opinions rendered today by the In
terstate Commerce Commission in
five Northwestern lumber rate cases
are decidedly favorable to the lum-
bermen. While in no case did they
get all they asked for. most of their
requests were complied with, and in
no instance did the Commission sus-
tain the advances which the railroads
put into effect on November, 1907.
The advance of 10 cents on lum-
Der shipped from the Pacific Coast
TO points east is completely knocked
out in territory west of the Missouri
River, and in eastern territory the
advance is reduced so per cent or
more. The advance of Sl.90 on ship
ments from Willamette Valley points
to San Francisco is practically wiped
out, only sufficient increase being al
lowed to offset the recent advance in
water rates from Portland to San
francisco. The Inland Empire Is re
lieyed from what the Commission
terms excessive and unreasonable
rates on lumber fixed by the rail-
roads last fall, and is given a scale
OF differentals more favorable than
the roads We're willing 20 concede.
Along with these five cases, the
Commission temporarily opens the
Portland gateway to Western Wash
tngton lumber consigned to Utah ter
ritory, but declines TO make a rout-
ing via Portland on Washington lum-
| Der to any other points east of The
| Cascade Mountains.
In all cases, the Commission stipu-
lates that the existing advanced rates
shall be discontinued "on or before
August Is, 1908" and DEGREES that
the new rates and orders which go
into effect on that date shall continue
for two years thereafter. Except in
the Portland gateway case, however,
these new rulings are not intended
to be temporary, but under the law
the Commission cannot fix rates for
a longer period than two years. On
| August is, 1910, the railroads will
be at liberty again to raise their mm-
Der rates and, if such advance is
made, the lumbermen will find it
necessary again to appeal to the
| Commission for relief.
