Driving Club Talks of Mhiz- Cart Free for All as Con Ciusion to Next Race Meet at Country Club.

At meeting to be held at the office of NJ. Black at Lowell. Next Monday night final plans for the races to be held Sunday, January 9th, will be made. This will include the cardiag Of events, of which there win be at least four, while it is possible an- other motor cycle race may be added.
 It is also highly probable that, to lend additional interest for those who do not care for horse-raeing excla- siyely. that a free-for-all automobile event may be added to wind up the program. With the number of ma chimes in town. this should be an easy matter. Nothing definite is de- eided yet. but the matter is being talked of and will probably come up ar the driving club meeting Monday If it is not attempted at the coming meet. it will surely be undertaken at one of the others.
 The success, financially. e tie Christmas matiiee more than fulfill ed expectasicns. and in addition to paying all expenses. there was sui fcient surplus left to turn over St00 to Secretary ren,olds of the board of trade. to help ~sit on the racing de fic.t from the Fourth of July celebra- tion. When this debt is cleared away. the club will have lime to think about improvements at the track, which, it is announced. Will be attempted as fast as the finances are forthcoming.
 What the track needs more than anything else is grandstand, and when it is put up members of the club will be surprised at the increased at- tendance. This has been demon strated in other towns where racing was attempted without any seats. and after the erection of grands;and the attendance nearly doubled.

CHARGES ARE PUBLIC.
President Gives Out His Report In
THllman Case.

President Roosevelt Friday night
made public the details of an fnvesti-
CATION by postoffce inspectors and Sc
cret service agents of Senator TILL
mans connection with an. alleged
''land grab" In Oregon.
AS he presents the evidence to Sen
ator Hale in response TO the lattcr'S
reuuest to the heads Of the various
executive departments for a statement
OF the operations of the secret service
the president undertakes to show
That MI. Tillman used his influ-
ence as a senator in an effort to force
the government to compel Il railroad
corporation to r~elBnquish its control or
land grants from the United States in
order that he and his family and his
secretary, J. T. knight, might profit
through the purchase OF some OF the
tald.
THAT the senator used his govern
ment ranking privilege in numerous
instances for the use OF private bust
ness"
Comparatively few ~senators were
favored with the opportunity OF read
ing the presidents report to enato
Hale, but those who did read the re-
port took n serious view of it, although
most of the senators refused to be-
lieye that Scnato Tillman had ever
lone anything in violation of his oath
as senator.

to the ground, the wagon being drag
ged over him when the horses ran
away. The wagon was a very low one
and the bolt pierced the young mans
skull in several places, but
did not penetrate to the brain. or ne
would have died instantly. One of the
wheels also ran over his right arm,
dislocating and badly mangling it, The
young mar was otherwise injured, and

up for dead, but he now has a fighting
nance for his life.

RIDERS r. GUILTY.
Jury Bring in q verdict oil MurSIea
Thursday night.

With a verdict of guilty the Jury In
the night riders trial at Union city
Tenn, reported at S:45 p. m. Thursday
night. hi twelve men found Garrett
Johnson, It'd Burton, Boy Ransom.
Fred Pinion, Arthur Cloar and sam
Applcwhite guilty Of murder in the
first degree, and fixed their punishment
at twenty years in the ~penitentiary.
The punishment Of the six first nam
ed defendants was left to the court
and maybe death or life imprison-
mcnt. The court has indicated an in
tention to pronounce the death pen
atty.
The defense made a motion for a
new trial, which was set for hearing
Saturday. and which will be over
ruled. Sentences will then be i'm
posed.
The jury was out since 2 p. m, but
because of the Illness of Juror Rosson
had not been able to Onsult until d
p. m. There was a difference of opin-
ion among the jurors as to the degree
OF guilt of the defendants, but an
agreement was reached quickly.
me Coull "dS tIlt' "l p '-
and the Jury sent word that 1t would
be able to report shortly. At S:45 p.
m. the bailiff called for the county
physician. Juror Rosson was in a
state of collapse and needed attention.
1t was half an hour before Eosson
was revived. the jury fled in and six
deputies were summoned to carry in
the bed upon which the sick juror re-
clined.
The foreman announced the verdict.
The defense called for a poll. which
was made, and the judge dismissed
the jury.
Rosson's condition is such that it
was deemed not advisable to move
him. The defense demanded until
Monday to move for a new trial, but
the state opposed it and the court
fixed Saturday as the day, intimating
hat the motion was a mere form any
way, which would be overruled.
The defendants received the verdict
calmly, as they had been expecting
it since the closing Of the arguments.
Attorney Pierce turned to them
when it was announced and said:
I'VE will tear this case to pieces in the
supreme court"
The state expected a verdict of first
degree murder in all eight cases and
was disappointed.
Bob" Huffman, one of the men to
escape with twenty years, is the one
who, according to the confession of
Frank Fehringer, fired the shot which
killed Capt. Ranken as he was being
drawn up by the rope.

With rumors of every description
and stories Of all sorts floating 20
the countryside, near Columbus. Mich.
where a dismembered body was found
stuffed into the Methodist church
stove, there Is not one positive devel-
opment TOWARD solving the mystery
which shrouds the crime. A suspicion
of the accuracy Of the Identification of
the body as that Of Rev. John M. ar
michael developed Thursday. Many
people living about the neighborhood
expressed doubt that it is the minister.
The authorities on their arrival at
the church found parts of the dis
membered body between two stoves.
In one stove was the head of what was
apparently a Ratchet, the handle of
which had been burned off. A dirk
also was found. This, it is believed,
was used in the murder, while the
Ratchet was used to cut the body to
pieces. 4,gstgsar, r8a .sr- o..t#

% MEN LOSE LIVES
DISASTROUS EXPLOSION IN FAM.
GUS ZEIGLER COLLIERY.
Letter and wife Spend Entire Day In
work OF Rescue, the Latter Furnish
inx OoYec and Sandwiches 10 Those
In Search of Bodies.

A disastrous gas explosion, in which
twenty-fye men lost their lives. occur
red at an early hour Sunday morning
In Joseph Letters famous colliery at
iZeiRier, nj. A spark from a trolley
pole OF an electric motor coming in
contact with a pocket of gas is assign
ed as the cause Of the explosion.
Mr.. Letter personally conducted the
first relief party that descended into
the mine to recover h dead bodies.
The lone survivor OF the explosion
was an Italian youth. who escaped un-
harmed.
An expert, who had been expert
1nenting with the gases In the mines
at Zeigler, left "wednesday confident
that he had placed the mine in safe
condition to be operated.
The men entombed were engaged in
clearing the debris caused by the re-
cent fires in this mine. and it is ex-
pected that operations would be re-
sumed. this week after two months
suspension.
The bodies taken from the mine
are badly burned and identification Is
difficult. Twenty-six men entered the
mine on the night shift. and the names
of the victims are taken from the pay-
roll. u
The explosion was peculiar, no
shock or noise was heard or felt at
the opening of he shaft, only a puff
OF smoke. The engineer noticed the
smoke, and, realizing that an accident
had occurred, summoned aid. The
mine had recently been sealed n
confined to workings not in the vicin-
ity OF the present explosion.
Mrs. Letter is at Zeigler, and she
was at h mouth OF the mine with her
husband aiding. in quieting the widows
and orphans who crowded about the
mine. She furnished coffee and sand
witches to the men attempting to res
cue the bodies. The day was bitterly
cold. but Mrs. Letter was foremost in
comforting the widows.
Mr.. Letter said Sunday night that
after the bodies r recovered he
would have work started toward the
reopening OF the workings. The mine
was put in operation in 1908, and soon
after labor trouble began. In April,
1905, an explosion in he mine killed
1ifty-one men.
