STEWART MAY CONE IN
AND STAND A TRIAL
Slayer of Arthur Harris is
Located.

Tom Stewart, the negro charged
with the killing of Arthur Harris, an
other brunette in Americas month
ago will probably surrender himself
today and stand trial for the offense
alleged. Stewart and Harris, it will
be remembered, were in the yard of a
negress on Jefferson street early on
Saturday evening, at the time of the
tragedy. Harris was found later
with puncture in the heart Stew
art vanished for the time, but it was
learned yesterday that his where
abouts were known, and that he
would be given preliminary trial
this morning. The previous excel
lent character of Stewart will be
much to his advantage He is said
to be an industrious, hard working
country negro, as is his old father,
and has never been in trouble before
His character is in striking contrast
to that of the negro killed, and he
may be able to establish a plea of
self-defense. 1t may be a case of
"old dog Tray"-a good negro in bad
company.

WAS TOSSED ON TRACK
AS TRAIN is PASSING
Railway is Not Liable in
Death of Man.

The Seaboard Railway, it is UNI
derstood, has been held entirely
blameless by a coroners jury in the
case of the supposed killing of an
unknown white man at a point, east
of Americas, a day or two ago. A
careful investigation of the case de-
veloped the conclusion that the man
had been killed by other means and
his body thrown beneath rapidly
passing train to give it the appear
ance Of having been run over. The
engineer and fremen, who were ex-
amined by the coroner, stated that
they had seen no dead body, or that
of living man, In front of their
engine as the train approached the
spot where the body was found af-
forwards. The generally accepted
theory, it is said, is that the man was
killed otherwise and his body tossed
like a log beneath the train as it
passed. The only blood found, it is
said, was upon the fifth car from the
engine, showing that the locomotive
and four cars next to it did not run
over the body The affair is still
wrapped in deepest mystery.

CHEAP WAY TO SETTLE
BILLS WITH FROST ON
Dealer Makes a Present of
Old Bills.


The story told yesterday of an Am
CIRCUS business man who receipted
several frost bitten" bills and pres
ented them as a gift to the fellows
who would not pay him, might find
other followers Many collectors
abroad yesterday carried bills that
evidenced many months of handling
in vain effort to collect them. The
Americas dealer referred to had sew
eral such bills He had presented
them repeatedly, without getting the
cash, and on his recent rounds he
receipted the thumb papers and made
a gift of them to his debtors, stat
ing that he hoped they had enjoyed
using the goods for which tehy would
not pay The gifts were thus accept
ed, and the dealers books are clear
ed of the "frost-bitten" accounts. 1t
is new form of bankruptcy, with
out the usual attendant costs.
