STATE BLOODHOUNDS
Are ON The TRAIL
Muzzle-Loading Shot Gun Was Used
and Was Fired From a Distance OF
Sixty Yards, Else Murder Would
Have Been Committed.

JACKSON, Miss, August 2S.-Two
white men were shot by a negro at
Pearson Station, three miles east Of
jackson, on the A. & V. Railroad, last
night, and one of them is badly
wounded.
They are J. E. Fisher, merchant
in the little town and Mr.. Russell, the
ginner for the community.
The weapon used was an old muz-
zle-loading shotgun but it was fired
from a distance of about sixty yards,
and for that reason only, Mr.. Fisher
is alive today, as he was struck by
perhaps hundreds of small shot all the
way from his feet to his face, the
most of the load having hit him in
the breast and head.
Mr. Russell was struck by only one
shot, that one getting him in the lip,
just under the nose, and he is not Sc
riously injured.
Telephone messages were sent to
Jackson for physicians and Drs. Hun
ter, Stands, and Crisler went to the
scene. DR.. Hunter was asked about
the nature of the wounds on his re-
turn to town, which was about mid
night, and stated they did not think
Mr.. Fisher was mortally wounded,
though that could not be told yet
awhile, the shot being so very small.
1t is hoped that the shot, being fired
from so great a distance, did not
reach the cavity anywhere.
Mr.. Fisher does not tell what negro
he suspects, but it is believed he has
a very good idea as to who was the
would-be assassin, though he was a
long way off when the gun was fired.
Mr.. Fisher was in the act of walk
ing out of hi store and had just reach
ed the front door. The moon was
shining and the negroes could be
seen running away.
There were two or three negroes in
I the party, sitting or standing around
Nthe depot which is about sixty yards
from the front of Fishers store. AS
soon rs the gun was fired they left,
and did not stand on their order of
their going.
Word was sent to the state farm
which is nearby, and the hounds were
soon on the trail. They took it up hot
and went numbering off through the
swamp.
At midnight the negro had not bee.l
captured, but the dogs were running
at lively clip and were followed by
"a great crowd of men and boys.
If caught, there is small chance that
the negro, will ever reach the Rankin
county Jail. 1t was stated by one of
the citizens of the neighborhood last
night, who had just returned to his
own home in Pearson, that several
of the boys had ropes and were pre-
pared to make short shift of the ne
gro if captured. He did not seem
! to doubt that there would be lynch
4 ing, or that a negro would be lost
in Pearl river swamp before morning
The neighborhood is very, thicklv
settled, and everybody in the commu-
nifty is on the hunt Several parties
from Jackson went out to join in the
hunt. and they are men who enjoy
such chases.
The last report from the scene of
the trouble was to the effect that the
negro had been seen entering house
out III the hills the other side of
Pearson, but at 1 a. m. the fugitive
was still at large.

The development OF the military EN-
cheney Of the navy yards in connection
with their relations TO the bureaus in
Washington. is the object OF a board ap-
pointed by Secretary Meyer and now
meeting at the Boston Navy Yard, ac-
cording to an announcement made at the
Navy Department Tuesday afternoon.
This IS the third board appointed by
Secretary Meyer TO consider similar
questions. and IS by far the most i'm
portant.
The first, known as the 'Sperry board. -
was appointed to reconcile as far as
possible the discrepancies in the naval
regulations. This board made a majority
and minority report. Where the report
was unanimous, 1t was accepted by Sec
rotary Meyer. Differences, however, re-
manned. and TO remove these. as far as
they affected steam engineering, sec
ond board was appointed. consisting OF
Rear Admirals f. II. c. Leutze and Will
lam Swift. Capt. Nicholson. and Com
mander John NJ. Poyer. as recorder.
Many Questions Unsettled.
When this board had completed its du-
ties much remained 20 be done. Although
the work assigned 10 each board had

cepted.

time Secretary Meyer took charge OF the

Ing announced he would retain as man
ager of each yard. with the exception
OF the Washington Navy Yard. an officer
OF the construction corps, In order that
the plan might have a chance 10 prove
whether It was good or not.

same time the relations Of these yards

This Is a matter for the board 70 con-
slider, and It was intimated that some
OF the changes which may be proposed
