Jackson, Miss, October 6.-Gover-
nor Noel has offered a reward of $3.50
for the arrest of Austin E. Ferguson,
the fugitive slayer of Ethel Maxwen,
which killing occurred just after mid

Nothing definite has been heard
from Ferguson since his escape from
two officers from Brookhaven, who
had arrested him and had him en-
route to this city Saturday afternoon,
when he gave them the dodge and left
the train just south of Crystal Springs,
1t was stated here yesterday that he
had been seen by a negro near Halle
hurst Sunday. and other rumors have
been floating around, one OF two Of
which are to the effect that he has
been recaptured, but none Of the ru-
more can be verified.
Chief of Police Allen, who knew
something of Fergusor's character, is
confident that he will give himself up
within the next few days. but that be-
lief is not shared by the general pub
lie.

LOCAL LUMBERMEN
LARGELY INTERESTED
lncorporators Are Ben Moore and H.
S. Hageerty, of Hattiesburg, and H.
X. and w. B. FolIansby, Capitalists,
of Detroit, Michigan.

A new lumber company has been Or
ganized in Hattiesburg, with the home
office in this city and branch offices
in Detroit, Mich
The name of the new company is
The Follansby Lumber Company, and
the incorporators are Messrs. Ben
Moore and H. S. Haggerty, of this
city, and Messrs. H. X. and w. b. Fol
lansby, of Detroit.
The company is capitalized at $15,-
600 and will do an exclusively whole
sale and jobbing lumber business. The
officers of the company will be chosen
as soon as the charter has been
granted
The Follansby Lumber Company
will have its main offices in the Ross
building The local men interested
in the new company are of the we'll
known lumber concern, the Moore &
Haggarty Company, of this city. Their
connection with the new company will
not interfere in any way with their
connection with the Moore & Hagger-
ty Company.
The organization of this new COM
pany is additional proof of the revival
of activity in lumber circles in South
Mississippi and especially in the Hat
tiesburg district. The new company
will enter the field well equipped
financially and with excellent connec-
tons in the northern markets for
handling a large volume of business.
Its organizers are men well and ia
yorably known in the lumber world
and its activities will add to the pres
tige of Hattiesburg as a great lumber
market.

Model Prisoner.
Daily News Special.

Daily News Special
Jackson, Miss, October 6.-Gover-
nor Noel will shortly have presented
to him a petition for the pardon of
Ella Scales, a negro woman sent up
from Coahoma County in April, 1906,
on a fi79 years sentence for man.
slaughter.
The petition will set forth that the
evidence uLcn which the woman was
convicted tended to show that the
shooting with which she was charged
was done accidentally, and that she
and the man she killed were good
friends at the time.
1t is claimed for her that she has
made an obedient and docile prisoner,
and that her health is now such that
further confinement will result in per
manent injury to her health.
i Another pardon petition coming
from Coahoma County. and which will
/ be presented to the Governor at about
/ the same time, asks for the pardon
of John Carr, serving a life term for
murder, having been convicted in Oc
tober, 1904.
No extenuating circumstances are
offered for his crime except that he
has been sufficiently punished. He is
held up as a model prisoner, and his
health is given as another reason fol
asking that he be pardoned, the peti
ton setting forth that by reason o.
physical ailments he is now in a weak
ened state of health, and is scarcely
able to perform manual labor of any
kind that he is in constant pain ant
suffers acutely.

FRANCE NOW ACTIVE
TO PREVENT WARFARE
Sultan Is Surprised at Action of Ger
many and Is Now Suspicious of His
Most Intimate Reconsideration Is
Anything But Pleasant.

Constantinople, October 6.-Rumors
come from the front that skirmishing
has already taken place between Turk
ish and Bulgarian troops, but the re-
ports are unofficially denied at the war
office and are given little credence.
No decided move has yet been taken
by Turkey and the powers are at work
to prevent, if possible, declaration
of war.
France has taken the initiative in
the mediation of the troubles of Tur-
key and Bulgaria and other powers
may join in the promotion of peace
negotiations which France has already
set in motion.
Germany's support of Austria-Hun-
gary is a bitter blow to the Sultan,
who had heretofore regarded the Kai-
ser as his best friend.
The situation here is anything but
pleasant, as ordinations and recrim-
nations are being made on all sides
and the Sultan is suspicious even of
his most intimate friends and most
loyal subjects.

HAWKINS HARDWARE CO.
STORE ALSO ENTERED
The Burglars Were Evidently ANA
teurs and Probably Boys--Iron Bars
Bent to Force an Entrance Into
Each Store.

The department store of Rubenstein
Bros, on Mobile street. and the hard
ware store of the Hawkins Hardware
Company, on Inc street were both
entered by burglars last night, the in
dications are that the work in bob
sores was done by he same gang.
In Rubenstein Bros store about
$500 worth of merchandise. and be-
tween So and $4 in money was taken.
At the Hawkins Hardware Company
the only things that can be missed are
several raZors and a pocket knife
which the thieves took time and care
to select from a lot of sample knives
in a package
An effort was made to get into the
safes at both stores but it was unsuc-
cessful in each instance. Rubenstein
Bros safe was badly damaged The
combination was knocked off and the
door battered. At the Hawkins Hard
ware Company, the safe was not dam
aged, but the combination had been
tampered with.
That the burglars were amateurs
/ and probably boys is evident. Only
an amateur would try to break into a
safe by knocking off the combination
and the space made for entrance into
the store of Rubenstein Bros. and also
to the Hawkins Hardware Company,
was so small in each case that only
a small boy or a small man could
have gotten through.
Entrance to each store was made
by forcing the rear doors. At Ruben
stein Bros the iron bars of a rear
window were bent forcibly to make
was opened and the wire netting COW
ering it was ripped off. The same
method was used to get into the Haw-
kins Hardware Company store, an iron
bar in the rear being bent to make
a hole for entrance.
The goods stolen from Rubenstein
Bros. consisted of a quantity of jew
elry most of it new and valuable, the
cheaper jewelry being ignored and left
in the show case. A couple of dress
suit cases and satchels were taken,
several pairs of shoes and some cloth
ing. The cash drawer was rifled of
the change left in it the night before,
amounting to between SO and S4. 1t
has been difficult for the Messrs. Ru-
beustein to tell just how much was
stolen in merchandise, but they esti-
mate their loss at about $500. Moth
ing except the knife and some razors
can be missed yet at the Hawkins
Hardware Company store. The COM
bination of the safe was purposely left
off last night the inside steel doors
only being locked. This morning the
combination was found thrown on,
+ showing that an effort had been made
to turn it and that the burglars in
, their ignorance had only succeeded in
locking it more securely.
1t is believed the burglars will be
captured and that they are local par
ties. That there were at least two
parties at work there is every evi-
dence.
