An immense petition. bearing the
signatures of $4,000 persons, request
ing that pardon be granted to Cap
tain William Van Schaick, master of
the illfated General Slocum, whea
that vessel was destroyed by fire in
New York harbor on June Is, 1904.
with a loss of more. than 1000 lives
has been presented to the president
and Attorney General Bonaparte.
Captain Van Schaick should be par
doned. In fact, he should never have
been convicted. He was the chief
officer of a vessel known to the OWL
ers to be unseaworthy, and when the
fire occurred he did the best he could
with the cheap. undrilled crew under
him. The owners of the steamer
should have been hanged, but they
were wealthy and the law. of course,
failed to reach them. Captain Van
Schaick was the scapegoat.

1t has just come to Light that Ou-
ray came very near furnishing a vic
tim for the Indiana widow, Mrs.
Guinness, in the person of an old
time miner and prospector of the
Ouray district whose correspondence
with a Chicago marr-monIal agency
some year and a half ago brought
him letters of introduction to the
Blue Beard of LaPorte. The Ouray
man had mining deal on at the
time which held out to him prospects
of comfortable old-age NEST egg"
and this egg he figured on sharing
with some heart-and-nan affinity,
hence his correspondence with the
Chicago agency. The size of the
prospective NEST egg" made him for
the time being a logical suitor for
the widows hand, as letters and
photos were rapidly exchanged and
everything seemed satisfactory. But
just then the mining deal fell
through and then it was perhaps
that the dear old prospector was
saved from being made a burned as
set of the Guinness farm cellar.

coats, furs, ETC., were taken. Mr..

tive and a hook used in pulling
thread into a loom was found on his

Negro Shot to Death In Streets OF
BrOokhaven, Miss.

BRooKHAvEN, Miss, Jan. 2-Prob-
ably the first lynching of 1908 occurr:;
ed here today when a mob in broad
daylight took a negro away from po-
lice officers and shot him. The negro.
whose name was not known either 10
the police or mob, was accused OF kill
ing a policeman at Oakvale, Miss, on
Tuesday night. The negro had been
arrested as a suspicious person be-
cause he came to Brookhaven looking
for medical treatment for a gunshot
wound in the abdomen. :.
The men got him away from police
by making a lasso which was thrown
over the negro's neck as the officers
hurried him to jail. The lassoing OF
the black occurred near the central
part of the town about 8 o'clock and
owing to the quick gathering OF
crowds an effort to hang him was
abandoned. After the shooting a
city official persuaded the mob not to
drag the body through the streets as
its members proclaimed an intention
of doing. The mob is said to have
been composed mostly Of men from
the vicinity of Oakvale. After the
lynching negro who saw the body
said it was that of Coot Antman.

about 10 miles north Of here on Fri
day morning last sitting by the rail-

THE LITTLE FOUNTAIN MYSTERY.
Stranger who Attempted Suicide Still
Alive and Unknown.

LITTLE MOUNTAIN, jar. 5.-The
unknown man who gave his name as
Wade and attempted suicide b.
poison at the hotel Friday night, is
still in a stupor, all efforts to arouse
him having proved futile. DR.. Sease.
the attending physician, holds little
hope for his recovery. The doctor
says he has taken two kinds of poison,
and he believes them to have been
laudanum and chloral.
All clues as to his identity when
followed up have revealed moth
ing. He is a gentlemanly looking
old man, apparently about 60 years
of age, and he wears a gray beard
and spectacles. Search of his cloth
ing has revealed no letters nor marks
to identify him except in his hat,
where the name may be made out
''Dr. J. N. johnson.
It has developed that the man
came here walking, having come up
to the depot at the time of the arrl-
val of the 3::39 train, his shoes vel!
blackened and free from all traces OF
mud show that he is no tramp.
Without purse or baggage he evl-
dently came here with the intention
of killing himself. His general ap-
pearance and the circumstances sur
rounding the case lead one to believe
that he is well-to-do-man, perhaps
suffering from financial tronbles in
the recent panic, and he has searched
out this place as a secluded spot
where he could end his troubles. He
took good care to cover up all traces
of his identity except his hat, which
he possibly overlooked, or else left
it to mislead the Investigators.
The small vials discovered in the
fireplace have been burned and roast:
ed, so that it is impossible to tell
what their contents were. 1t is GER
tain that he took the poison about
10 o'clock Friday night. He was
not found until late yesterday morn
ing, and he has been receiving medi-
cal assistance for the last twenty,
eight hours, and it is only due to anti.
dotes, heart stimulants and electro.
magnetism that life has been pro
longed thus far.
