LAST REWARD
Venerable Citizen Died at His
Home on Third Street Early
This Morning.

The passing away of DR.. Robert
Third street has cast gloom over the
entire city. He had been i'll for sew

the naval school; Ed. Field, who is in
the Philippines; Robert and Marion

Field, who is also in this city. He has
for years been the faithful cashier at
Hays & Fields drug store.
DR.. Field was of a studious and ex-
quisitely refined nature, and will long
be remembered by all who came with
in his influence for dignity of charac-
ter and tenderness of heart Into the
sorrow of those on whom the shadow
Of her death lies thick and dark, one
can only enter with the recognition
of the rich mutual affection whose
memory must be a deep consolation
through all their lives.

chiefly from the small towns.
Gov. E. F. Noel called the meeting
to order, and, in a brief address, out
lined its objects and purposes. The
entire afternoon will be devoted to ad

LOCAL FACTORY IS
suffering SEVERELY
Lines of Manufacture Unless Better
Rates Can Be Secured-Another
Plant Now in Prospect.

Secretary Mort. L. Bixler, of the
Hattiesburg Commercial club, and Mr..
E. E. Williams, of the Lumbermens'

products out of Hattiesburg.
Mr.. Williams says that the present

charges. His factory will be compell-

be secured.
At least one other large manufac-
turing industry is ready to locate in

ductions are secured.

FORMER EXECUTIVE
WAS RECENTLY KILLED
Governor Noel Sends Detective Pinson
to the scene-Evidence Collected
viii Be Submitted to the Grand
jury Shortly.
Daily News Special.


JACKSON, Miss, March 17-Infor-
nation has just reached here from
Starkville, where the preliminary trial
is in progress, of the attempted assas-
sination at Sturgis, in Oktibbeha coun-
ty, of Mayor o. S. Turner, who, be-
sides being mayor of the town, is also
a prominent attorney and editor of
the Searchlight, weekly newspaper.
Although only three defendants are
on trial before Justice Reynolds and
Mayor Beatttie, there are said to be
other suspects, the affair having occur
red in Daylight more than a week
ago, but having in some way been sup
pressed from publication.
Mr.. Turner has testified that eight
cen shots were fired at him, and that
he fired six in return, although nobody
was injured on either side. He also
testified that this was the fifth time
recently that he has been waylaid for
the evident purpose of assassination.
The boys on the trial do not deny
shooting, but claim Turner opened fire
first
Turner was out for the purpose, he
says, of trying to get the names of
some boys who had been disturbing
theh peace in the town, and was taken
unawares by the crowd, all of whom
he could not identify.
This is believed to be an aftermath
of the trouble in which Dr. A. F. Rich
ardson was assassinated in the same
town on the night before Christmas,
Mayor Turner having taken a great
deal of interest in trying to locate the
guilty parties. This latter case does
not come up for trial until the regu-
lar term of circuit court at Starkville,
and in the meantime the two Edwards
brothers have been admitted to bail
in $4,000 each pending the action of
the grand jury.
Gov. Noel has had Detective w. M.
Pinson at work upon the case for two
weeks, and although his Investigations
/ are completed, nothing will be known
a sto the nature of the evidence he
has secured until the grand jury meets
and the case goes to trial. DR. Rich.
ardson was a member of the state
board of health, and one of the most
prominent physicians in the state He
was also a personal friend of Gov
Noel.
