MAN MURDERED
ON FRISCO FREIGHT
John Mcdaniel, a Negro Brake
man. Murders Man and
Throws Body Off

One of the most cruel murders
that stains the criminal history
of Mississippi was committed
Tuesday morning about three
O'Clock on a Frisco freight few
miles this side of New Albany.
The murdered man was an un
known white man and the mur-
derer was a negro brute.
When arrested by sheriff Trapp
and charged with the murder
Mcdaniel confessed.
When the train reached Tupe-
10, Sheriff Trapp was telephoned
for and Mcdaniel was pointed
out to him by the conductor. The
negro was making switch when
Sheriff Trapp arrested him and
disarmed him of a 80 caliber
Colts revolver and a dangerous
knife. He was placed in Jail and
carried by Sheriff Trapp to New
Albany and turned over to the
officers of Union county.
The following account sent to
the Commercial Appeal from New
Albany gives the particulars of
the murder as far as can be as
certained:
This morning on the St. Louis
& San Francisco Railroad Com
pany's track, two and a half
miles east of this place, the cold
and lifeless body of an unknown
white man was found where it
had lain in the heavy rainstorm
since the passage Of the east
bound freight, No. IS, last night
Evidently the deceased was a
victim of a most foul and horri-
BILE murder. The expression on
the face on the dead man, with
his lips partly curled and open,
and his eyes widely staring,
showed an inexpressible horror
and dire expectancy of some ter
rible deed about to be committed
upon him. Thus he died and
thus he was picked up by Victor
Smith and his section crew early
this morning after the Memphis
accommodation passed going
west.
A negro brakeman named Nc
Daniel on train No. IS (Which
was a freight train going east)
was taken from the train by the
officers of Lee county and is in
Jail at Tupelo awaiting the coro
ner's investigation, which has
just been held here.
It's said and believed that the
dead man was robbed, beaten
and shot by his assailant and
then pitched from the train. If
robbery was the only motive, the
murderer evidently did not get
all the change of the dead man
as $9.45 in quarters and nickels
were found in the front pockets
of an inside pair of trousers,
about one-half in each pocket.
This money could not have been
reached without considerable

GREAT ICE STORM.

The ice storm of last week hit Whisconier hill rather hard. The east side of the trees were loaded with ice an inch thick. Many of the shade trees, mostly naples, had fully two-thirds of their limbs broken off, some nearly all of them. The door yards were so full of wreckage that it was difficult to get through them.

such is the case, according to an arti-
Gle published i'm the new publication
issued monthly under the title. The
Postal Service Magazine, which is
making a great hit with employees
throughout the country.
The assignment Of Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General DeGraw to the
dead letter division i'm 1905 has led TO
system OF public education which
has materially cut down the work of
that department. Through the revised
methods used more letters are return
ed to the senders. In 1906 out of H.
663,377 pieces of mail matter received
there were 3,713.327 pieces returned to
senders; in 1907 out of 1905. 255
pieces received, 5,225,792 were re-
turned, and i'm 1908, the number re-
ceived was 13,145,172, of which 1907
6S4 were returned. The latter figure
included every piece of mail matter
from which the identity of the sender
could be ascertained. In former years
it had been the practice to return as
many ordinary letters as the force of
employees available would permit, and
to destroy the remainder. In order to
return all such matter, force of so
clerks is now assigned to that branch
of the dead letter work.
Another important movement is the
promotion of the use of the writer's
return card on mail matter. A card
