EDWARD WARD CARMACK.

The untimely and tragic death Of
Edward Ward Carmack last Monday
removes from public view one of the
most picturesque figures in Tennessee,
but leaves in the minds of all Tennes-
scans the memory of the life and work
of one of the greatest men the Volun-
teer State has produced in century.
"Nedn Carmack was a genius with the
pen and had dashing originality pc
culiarly his own, and had scarcely a
peer on the tripod in America, We
knew him and admired him for his
many admirable truths and brilliancy,
and while we have not always follow
ed him in politics, we have never ceas-
ed to have warm place in our heart
for him and mourn with all Tennessee
ans the loss of the brilliant, noble and
patriotic son of a proud commonwealth,
The Comet will receive and publicly
acknowledge any amounts contributed
for the fund for monument to the la
mented dead. The amount will be de
posted with Tate l.. Earnest, cashie

been asked to act as treasurer until 1

PLEA OF THE COOPERS
WILL BE SELF DEFENSE.

Nashville, Tenn, Nov. 11.-That the
Coopers, father and son, will plead self
defense at their trial for the killing Of
former Senator Carmack on the streets
here Monday is the generally accepted
theory. 1t was learned from what is
regarded as an authentic source tonight
that the defense will attempt to prove
that Carmack fired two shots at young
Cooper before the latter pulled the
trigger to his own revolver; that one of
the bullets struck young Cooper near
the collarbone and the other passed
through the sleeve of his coat. The de-
Tense will, it is claimed attempt to
prove further that the Coopers were
not seeking meeting with Carmack,
but that when they saw him Colonel
Cooper started to cross the street to
demonstrate with him regarding the
use of his (Cooper's) name editorially,
that Carmack drew his pistol as he saw
Colonel Cooper coming and that when
young Cooper, who was following be-
hind his father, ran in advance of him
That Carmack then shot twice, wound
ing young Cooper, that then the latter
began to shoot. 1t is said by friends of
young Cooper that his chain is powder
burned by the shots from Carmack' s
revolver. The wounded man is resting
easily tonight at the hospital, where he
is under arrest, guarded by county
officer. The elder Cooper is still in the
county Jail, and as yet no move has
been made toward application for bail.
The grand jury will tomorrow begin an
Investigation of the killing.

Result of Investigations

straighten out the tangle." said Louis
H Mooser yesterday, in speaking OF the
affairs of the wrecked institution.
Mooser and his assistants were busy all
Of yesterday in going over the books
OF the concern. He is about ready TO
make his final report on the Burlin game
terrace deal When that is completed
he will dig into other transactions that
have not very good appearance.
Mooser stated last night that he
thought the bank would be able to pay
dividend in a very short time. The
fact that all depositors will have TO file
claims before dividend can be paid
will delay the payment several weeks
Mooser is anxious TO pay dividend
and has been consulting his attorneys
in regard TO the payment without the
necessary claims being fled
The Market street bank depositors'
association has prepared a letter re-
ouesting that Mooser pay no dividend
to the Market street securities COM
pany on the books that that company
holds. The members OF the association
claim that the securities company OBJ
tanned the books in a fraudulent man
ner.

ficiaIs Confer on Transpor-

meeting was held yesterday OF the
trafic managers OF local railroads and
the large stock shippers OF the city.
The conference was arranged by Victor
NJ, Smith Of the Western meat com
pany in order that an understanding
might be reached on matters at issue
between the two interests. The stock
men have been eager 10 have the rail-
roads put into effect recent ruling
OF the interstate commerce commission.
which provides as follows:
Transportation may be furnished 10
care takers going out 10 get livestock
which has already been purchased for
outward and inward Journey
It has been the custom OF the rail-
roads 10 provide transportation for care
takers with cattle shipments. but the
stockmen have been compelled 10 pay
full fare for the men sent out TO make
purchases on the ranges. According
TO the commissions ruling the cattle
men believe they are entitled TO a re-
fund OF the outward fare when they
return with the shipments. The Cali
fornia lines have refused 70 refund
the fare. claiming that the matter was
optional with them and that the rates
on cattle were so low that they could
make no further concessions.
It required negotiations covering sew
eral months before Smith could bring
all the traffic managers and stockmen
together. He succeeded yesterday, and
at a prolonged conference the matter
was discussed in all its phases Al
though no specific promises were made,
the railroadmen let the cattlemen know
that their request would be granted

saloon. Silver avenue and Mission
street, the following morning
Jackson said he went to the saloon
the following morning and met the
stranger, telling him that he had
changed his mind and would not go
10 Portland. The stranger got angry
and. throwing back the lapel of his
coat. showed a star and said he was a
special officer and Jackson would have
TO go with him. They had some whisky
and Jackson became dazed. While in
that condition he was taken to a hotel
in Oakland, where he was kept for
three days and was then taken TO a
hotel In San Jose.
The man questioned Jackson about
what Herman Boehm, his daughter's
husband. had said about the Buttgen-
bach murder and other crimes and

about these things the gang would
kill him. The man never left him.
