Capt. Fritz, county commissioner,
came up from Hagerman this morn
ing. An effort is being put forth to
make it appear that he went into a
citizens convention at Hagerman
and presided, and thereafter refused
to abide the decision of the co1ven-
ton as to the nomination of a town
ticket. The facts are that he had moth
ing to do with his name being put up
the day before election and did not
know that any person was voting for
him for mayor until eleven o'clock
election day. He then went to his
friends and did all he could to pre-
vent any more votes being cast for
him. The Democrats having neglect
ed to come out to the convention and
thus allowed the Republicans to name
the greater part of the ticket, Capt.
Fritz felt that the Democrats them
selves were to blame, and he believed
il taking his medicine like a man
and supporting the ticket nominated.

 On January 5th and 18th 1t rained. and rained hard. The Sunday dated 18th was clear, or clearing. The re- cords do not show what one might call a glorious Sunday. nor do they show a miserable.

BEN BETHUNE FELL AND
 ENGINE CUT OFF HIS LEGS
Negro ia Apparently Recovering From
 Awful Accident.

Ben Bethune. a negro switchman, in the employ of the L. & N. Railroad, had both legs cut of below the knees by an L. & N. train yesterday morning at 3;s0 a. m. The scene of the accident was the L. 6 N, yards in North Mont gomerg.
 Bethune was found shortly after the occurrence by, an engineer. who was walking from the round-house into town, having just arrived from Bir- mingham. The negro never lost con- sciousness nor did he apparently suf- fer the excruciating pain that might be reasonably expected.
 Bethune stated to the engineer that while hastening to turn a switch he stumbled, in the darkness over a pile of debris near the base of the switch rod. and fell on the track. Before he could recover himself the cars had passed over both legs. The negro was discovered about fifteen minutes after the accident.
 The physician in attendance upon the injured man stated that he will probably recover.
