 ING IN BALANCE.

 terday.

All through last night the jury in the City Court wrestled with the case of Thomas T. Trentham. the Montgom- cry merchant charged with having re- ceived stolen property. The twelve good men and true were given. the case at about 5:30 o'clock in the af- ternoon, and, with the exception of a short respite for supper, remained in the jury room until called to bed by the guardian angel of Montgomery juries, Bailiff Bill Frizzle, late in the night.
 The case occupied In the trying the entire session of the court on Thurs day. beginning soon after the opening in the morning.

 THEIR. Captain OdOm of Salvation Army Takes Charge of Girl and Child Until
 Work Can Be
 Found.

An outcast from the people of her own race, Emma Vaughan. a young white woman about 24 years old, was found living in a squalid negr6 tene- ment at 10 Chandler Street. by Captain Odom of the Salvation Army on yes- terday.
 The negro house was small and cramped. and In the five rooms livtN three families. between twenty anu thirty people in all. It was amid these that the white girl lived. with her child S-months old. after her father, also of Montgomery. had disowned her, and after she had been repulsed by many of her own race.

 She was taken away from the negro house to neat white, tenement, sev- eral blocks away. where she win be kept for some time. until employment is found her her.

NEGRO IS
 MURDERED Arthur Brown Shot
 Through Head. MURDERER ESCAPES ON TRAIN Tragedy in [. and N. Railroad
 Wards. Body of Victim Found Beside Tracks Louis Anderson Lost Ills Job
 and Revenges Himself on

Louis Anderson, a discharged negro brakeman. walked beside a string of slowly moving freight cars in the Lou isviile and Nashville Railroad yard last evening shortly after o'cock. He was very angry, for his job had been taken from him and given to Arthur Brown. also Q negro. Silently ana with lowering brow he stood beside the freight cars as the rain poured in torrents about him. occasionally look ing up the shimmering, glistening. polished rails that stood out from the biackness boldly in the light of the distant headlights in the round-house.
 Tugging and panting the yard en- zine labored with Q freight train. us wheels clattering and slipping on the wet steel while the piston boxes eoughed and sputted with the ex- haust steam. Laundering over the complaining rails. the train moved slowly. the wheels clanking as they reached the points in the line, and al- ways the rain poured from the car roofs in silvery sheets that showed ike prisms in the glare of the lights where 1t fell from the cars.
 Louis Anderson was in the shadow of another line of cars and there was something in his pocket that felt hard and cold pressed against his body by
  line of freights, the gaps between them lighted wildly by an arc light across the yard. Near the end of the train the man standing in the shadow saw a figure tugging at break wheel, ana he knew the man, Arthur Brown, to whom his job had been given. Ander- son stopped as the cars passed, then ran forward faster than the moving cars, faster and faster he ran, until ne was beyond the line of empties oehino which he had been hiding. At the end he paused and pulled the thing that he had had in his pocket out and twiri- ed the cysinder in the lamp ligne.
 Gathering over the yard rails, the freight train came on. Anderson had remembered the car where Brown was at the break wheel. In moment the car was abreast of him. Brown was still holding to the wheel and his face was toward Anderson. The man on the ground raised his revolver and fired threc shots In quick succession. Brown crumpled and fell from the car clear of the wheels.
 Anderson sprang at the caboose. ran quickly up the ladder at the side and sped along tho familiar pathway on the top of the cars.
 Some time later e yard watchman found figure hudded beside the raiis' there was a dent in the forehead from which clotty black line of blood oozed. There was no throb In the wrist where the pulse should be. The body was sent to a negro undertaker to be prepared for burial.
 Anderson, 1t seems. left the freight cars. for when wire reached the conductor there was no sign found or him about the train.

MAD AT MONTGOMERY
CRIPPLE NEGRO PERTURBs NEW
 ORLEANS OFFICERS.
They Say He Was Deported From Here By Mayor TenEue, and May Send Him
 Back.

New Orleans, March I1.-(Special. J. New Orleans authorities are very much perturbed over the arrival here of Charles Johnson from Montgomery. deported by order of Montgomery's Mayor.
 He Is a poor. helpless. crippled negro, who says he was an inmate of Mont gomery poor house for several years. but wanted to get to Houston. Texas. where he says he has friends and a doctor who will help him. He is a cripple for life and perfectly helpless. having received his injury in falling from a hand car while working near Houston.
 What has aroused the New Orleans city authorities Is that a number of these public charges have been sent to this city in recent times. a half dozen having come to public note of late.
 Mayor Behrman had asked an otfi- cial opinion from City Attorney Gil. more as to what the city could do le- gally in sending these people back from whence they had come, and pend ing that decision the Johnson cripple bobs up from Montgomery. He served as the last straw.
 He is held tonight by the police un- til the city authorities can determine whether they can force the Louisville and Nashville Railroad to carry him back to Montgomery.
 What Mayor Teague Says.
 Mayor Teague stated last night that he remembered Charlie Johnson had applied to him for aid in reaching a point in Louisiana where he claimed he had friends. and that the aid was gladly given. The negro had at one time been an inmate of the county poor house, but had become dissatisfied.
 Montgomery has much the same con- dition to contend with as has New Or leans" said Mayor Teague last night. Negroes from Birmingham. Mobile and New Orleans drift into Montgomery and become vagrants, or in many in- stances a burden to the county at the poor house. Whenever one of them comes to me and states that he has friends in another State. and can give me satisfactory answers to all ques- tions, I usually give him aid to get out of the city"

GOVERNMENT TELEPHONE LINE.

The Willmore force of men was NOV
ed from the substation on the Bullock
tract TO Tempe yesterday There the
men are engaged in putting in teic-
phone line on the transmission line
towers. The telephone wire is strung
several feet under the electric wires
but even then it is understood that
there is a little danger in the practice.
1t is a well known fact that the tele-
phone wire being so close to the cleo
trio wires cannot help but receive a
certain amount of the charge on the
copper wires. However. all precaution
is taken in the way of insulasors to
remove all possible danger. Since the
report was made through these eel :
umns a few days since to the effect
that the force of men at substation
number on the Sacaton line had ac-
tually coupled the telephone wire on
the copper electric wire and were US
ing ii as a service, has given rise to
considerable comment. 1t is generally
conceded that the men doing this know
their business but the opinion is held
that there Is liable to be a current
turned on the Sacaton line at some
time and with the telephone wire
coupled onto the copper wire there is
chance for an accident.

MESA
UNEXPECTED WEDDING
OF WELL KNOWN COUPLE
The Marriage of Shreeve Peterson and
Miss Hattie Hawkins.

Miss Hattie Hawkins and Shreeve
Peterson were united in marriage yes
terday at Phoenix and will return to
Mesa some time today to make this
their home. Their plans for the future
have not been given out by them and
as a matter of fact their plans for a
wedding were kept secret, only few
of their most intimate friends being
aware of the approaching event.
The couple, both of whom are well
and very favorably known have been
sweethearts for many moons and the
rumor has gone out on different occas-
sions to the effect that they contempt
lated an early marriage but upon each
occasion the rumor proved to be a mis-
take and then when the first inkling
that the event was to really happen
yesterday. gained circulation on the
street it was sometime before the re-
port could be verified.
The bride is the young daughter Of
Mrs. Maggie Hawkins, and has grown
to womanhood in Mesa having moved
to this place a few years ago from
Lehi. The young lady graduated from
the Mesa Union High school last
spring.
Mr.. Peterson. who has been employed
in the grocery department of the Lee
sueur-G Gibbons store for a number Of
years is one of the most popular young
men of the town and by his courteous
treatment he. has made many friends
not only of the customers of the store
but of practically all those whom he
had CHANGED TO meet.
