CONFERENCE Held
ABOUT GRADES

A conference was held this morn.
ing between Supt. Flanagan and Civil
Engineer Haugh,- representing the
Northeastern, the city officials, and the
traction company officials, with refer.
ence to the street grade at the Main
street crossing. On the north side OF
the crossing the grade was placed too
high when the street paving was put
down, and it is rather low on the other
side.
1t was decided in order to make the
street so that the traction company
could use it for street cars that it
would be necessary to lower the grade
of the street for about sixty feet or
more on the north side and to raise
t slightly on the south side.
This work will have to be done by
the traction company according to the
erms of it's franchise. There has been

HIGH OFFICIALS OF
ROAD here TODAY
supt. Flanagan Says That Business Is
Gradually Picking Up and When
Lumber Gets to Moving the North
eastern Will Be Ready for 1t.

Superintendent S. E. Flanagan and
Engineer Haugh, OF the Northeastern
Railroad, were in the city this morn
ing.
While here Mr.. Flanagan and Mr..
Haugh inspected the grading work
that was being done for the new pas
senger station and expressed them
selves as well pleased with the prog
ress that had been made and with the
work. The grading is now nearing
completion, and the work of putting in
new track across the graded portion
of the lot is the next thing. The pre-
paratory work for putting in the new
track has largely been done east of
the Gulf and Ship Island. This will be
the main line track and will extend
across the baseball lot and intersect
the present main line near the bridge
over Gordon Creek.
In addition to this a spur track from
the Northeastern to a point near the
Gulf and Ship Island will be put in.
Superintendent Flanagan stated that
the purpose of building these tracks
was that the company might have a
way to haul its material to the site Of
the new station. He said that the
work of building the depot would not
be delayed at all if the company could
help it; that the road had some other
Improvements to make, but they were
very anxious to build the new station
here. From the tenor of Supt. Flan-
agans talk, it may be safely assumed
that the new passenger station will be
commenced very soon after the grad
ing is completed and the new track is
put down.
Supt. Flanagan stated that there
was some improvement in business,
but not as much as he had hoped. He
said that the cotton crop was moving
right along. He stated that the COM
pany was preparing to handle a big
lumber business, but as yet it had not
started He thought that with the
large number of cars that were being
rebuilt here that the company's shops
could handle the balance of the work.

LAW WILL BE ALLOWED
TO TAKE ITS COURSE
Black Brute Will Be Legally Tried and
Hanged for the Murder of a Promi-
nent Young White Man Near Sails,
in AttaIa County.
Daily News Special.

Daily News Special.
Jackson, Miss, September 1S.-Gov-
ernor Noel was in conservation last
night with Sheriff Emmett Carr. of At
tala County, who advised him that the
negro prisoner, Rufus Ousley, had been
safely transported to Kosciusko with.
out the aid of troops and without any
demonstrations on the part of the
friends of young Love, the man killed
by Ousley about three years ago.
The sheriff further stated that he
had been personally assured by rela-
tives of the dead man that they de-
sire that the law shall take its course.
and that the prisoner will suffer no
harm at their hands.
Ousley's trial was to have been held
at Kosciusko on last Monday. but. he
was being kept in another county and
for some reason the sheriff got the
idea at the last moment that there was
likely to be lynching as the officers
passed with their prisoner through the
town of Sails, where the killing took
place. The trial was therefore post
poned and the governor communicated
with at once.
After going thoroughly over the
case with the Judge, however. Mr.. Carr
decided that the presence of troops
would not be necessary, and yester-
day, without letting the public know
what he was up to until it was all
over with, he personally conveyed the
prisoner tot he Attala county jail.
where he is being closely guarded
night and day.
About three years ago Ousley, who
is regarded as a pretty bad negro on
general principles, was accused of
writing an insulting note to a young
lady in the neighborhood of Sails,
and young Love, who was a relative
of the former sheriff of the county. as-
companied by two other men, went to
his house, or the house where he was
staying, to arrest him. They sur
rounded the house, but young Love,
who was in the rear of the house, was
shot by the negro, who then made his
escape, and was only recently cap
tured by another negro In a nearby
county.

W. r. CASTOR of Mccomb City, Must
Stand Trial Before the Pike County
Circuit Court at MagnoIia-Will
Have Able Counsel.
Daily News Special.


Magnolia, Miss, September 1S.-The
grand jury has returned an indictment
against w. R. CASTOR, of McComb City,
for embezzlement. CASTOR was cashier
of the Pike County Bank and Trust
Company at the time of it's failure last
spring, and had occupied that position
since the establishment of the institu-
ton several years ago.
The report of the expert accountant,
who examined the books of the bank,
showed a shortage of more than $780,
900. CASTOR came down from McComb
this morning, on being apprised of the
indictment, and reported to the sheriff.
He was at once placed under a $5,-
900 bond, which he readily gave, with
Charles Epstein, A Harmes, J. w. Cat.
lin, T. w. James, Louis Heidenreich
and S. A. Simmons as sureties. Judge
Wilkinson has set the case for call

DENIAL FROM SEVERAL
GENTLEMEN INTERESTED
Not Even an Option of the Timber
Land Has Been Secured and the
Matter Is a Long Way From Being
biggest Lumber Deal Of Years."

To a representative of the Daily
News, Messrs. A. S. Carr and j. NJ.
Foley this morning stated that there
was no truth in the statement that has
been made public that they had .pur-
chased an immense amount of timber
land in Calcasieu parish. La, or that
they had secured the option thereon.
The statement given currency was to
the effect that the deal had practical
" been closed" carrying a stumpage
of $4,000, 900 feet and that the money
needed to swing the enterprise was
81, 5000
The gentleman interviewed, said
that the matter had only been dis
cussed among few and that no op-
ton had been obtained, much less a
deal closed, and it was not probable
that any option would be obtained;
that it took months to consummate
such deal as had been suggested and
the mere fact that the matter had been
discussed among them did not mean
that there was a deal on.
The gentlemen were very much sur
prised that publicity should have been
given to the matter without more
foundation for it's correctness. The
statement made herein is as far as
anything has progressed and all there
is to the story.

An examination of the wrecked ma
chine showed that one of the propeller

tion of the broken piece showed that
it had struck some other part of the
machine with terrific force.
