EDITORS EXCHANGE SHOTS
One Wounded In Street Duel With
Owner of Rival Faper.

OWncT OF hivdI rdper.
Rock Island. H.. Feb. 23.-W. w.
Wilmerton, owner of the Tri-City
Journal. and John Looney, owner of
the Rock Island News, exchanged
seven shots across a street at each
other. Looney was slightly wounded.
Both men were arrested
The shooting was the result of a
personal feud which has been car
ried on in print The feud reached
a climax when Looney published a
bitter attack on Wilmerton and the
members of his family. The men met
for the first time since, and they
opened fire at sight. Each says the
other was the aggressor.
The men first quarreled a year ago
over the ownership of the Rock ISL
and News, in which both were then
interested. Wilmerton finally got
control Of the News, but before he
took possession a stick of dynamite
was exploded in the pressroom,
wrecking it and endangering the lives
of several persons sleeping in the
building. Wilmerton changed the
name of the paper to Tri-City Morn
ing Journal, and removed TO new
quarters During the past year there
have been three fires in Looney's
building. The fires were evidently in
cendiary, but, like the blowing up Of
the press, no clew has been found to
the perpetrator

HUMAN NATURE THE SAME.

Human nature seems about the
same in all parts of the country. The
Chicago Tribune and other great
newspapers of the North have beer
for years reading the Southern peO-
pie lectures on the lawlessness pre-
valent in our section of the country
Every lynching has been played VI
under scare heads. The average
Northern man is almost afraid tC
venture into some of the Southern
States.
When Kentucky is mentioned vi
sions of mountain feuds and visits of
night riders fill all minds. 1t Is i'm
possible to convince the ordinary
Northern man that these crimes are
exceptional and that we Of the Blue
Grass live under a reign of law and
order.
But when such dreadful riots as
those of Springfield take place in a
Northern city, and when in Omaha,
Nebraska, mass meeting addressed
by two members of the State Legis-
lature and leading lawyer degen-
crates into a wild mob which invades
the Greek quarter Of the city to av-
erage the death of a policeman who
was shot and killed by a Greek whom
he had placed under arrest, it is time
for the Northern press to pause and
take stock.
The American people are the same
In all sections of the country. They
do not seem to have the same regard
for the law as do the Engishmen nor
do they seem to hold human life as
sacred as do the nations Of the old
world.
We have our fauits in this regard !;
but they are faults of all sections and
are not confined to the ScUth. All the
ordinary laweabiding c:,izen can do
rs to lend his influence to the side of
the law and trust that in time the
whole people will take a step or two
in advance of their present ideas and
practices.

SHARP EXASPERATED
BY SHREWD ATTORNEY
Defendant In Murder Trial Tells
Conflicting Stories.

Nashville, Tenn, Feb. %. - When
court adjourned, in the midst of the
DISCRIMINATION of John D. Sharp,
the honors were easy between the
state and the defense in the Cooper
Sharp trial for the Staying of Former
Senator Carmack. Young Robin Coop
er. under a bitter cross-examination
of nearly four hours, held his own.
He was always cool, careful and dis
played an inclination to be fair that
evidently impressed the jury and Just
as evidently eXasperated Attorney
General McCarn.
The next witness was John D.
Sharp, another of the defendants.
Sharp told his story we'll under direct
examination and made a good impress
sion. But he was turned over to At
torney General Garner of Maury
county for discrimination. His
cross-eXamination is of the rapid-fire
order. John Sharp is a man of high
temper, and Garner soon had him be-
side himself. He contradicted him
self on many minor details, but never
on the more important particulars.
Once he got on dangerous ground. On
direct examination Sharp swore that
he saw the killing and that "Carmack
fell after Robin Cooper had fred
three times"
One of the bullet wounds, a neces-
sarily fatal one, pierced the senator's
neck within one-sixteenth of an inch
of the spinal cord and came out I'M
der his tongue. AS Sharp swo~e that
Carmack was facing young Cooper,
aiming a revolver at him, this wound
would be impossible to reconcile with
the statement. On cross-examination
Sharp said, however, that Carmack
turned his head just as the second
shot was fired. He did not explain
how the senator could turn his head
far enough to permit the ball to enter
the median line of the neck on a
straight line.
