Cause Of Trouble.

Jackson, Miss, Jan. 14.-The con-
troversy between Governor Noel and
State Treasurer Edwards is at an end.
This was made certain this morning
when Mr. Edwards declared that he
had said all that he wanted to in con.
nection with the governor and his pe-
sition upon the question which
brought about the dispute between the
two, and that there was nothing left
to be said.
This information will bring relief to
the minds of many friends of both
parties, as there had been grave fears
that the newspaper row started sew
eral days ago might lead to serious
results.
The quarrel started several days
ago when Governor Noel issued a card
In which he renewed his suggestion
Of several months ago that all the in
stitutions which draw their support
funds from state appropriations draw
each month only such money as is
actually needed for that month in or
der to keep as much money as pos
sible in the treasury and thus either
avoid deficit or minimize it, intimat-
ing that he would enforce this policy
so far as it lay within his power.
Mr.. Edwards followed this with a
statement calling attention to the fact
that since he had been in the treas
urer's office he had actually enforced
the same policy by refusing to pay
out money to such institutions except
as needed, in exact accordance with
the governors idea. closing the state
ment with the remark that he was
glad his course has the executive ap-
prevail
In reply to this the governor, in ap-
parent resentment of the intimation

STOLE SHOT GUN;
GOES TO FARM

Joe Judge, a negro, was tried in JUS
tice w. C. Hardee's court this morn
ing on a charge of petit larceny which
consisted in stealing a double-barrel
shotgun from another negro.
1t is stated that the negro has con-
sumption and although he had before
been arrested by the city, the city did
not want him in the Jail on account of
the danger to other prisoners.
The negro was found guilty for the
county and was fined $25 and sem
fenced to sixty days on the farm, or
road. 1t seems from what can be
learned that Judge has exercised his
stealing qualities before, but what to
do with him was the problem. 1t is
admittedly wrong to expose other pris-
oners to this very dangerous disease.
1t is thought that County Road Com
missioner Culpepper may be able to
exclude him from any contact with
the other prisoners and thereby avert
danger to their lives. to which they
are justly entitled, no matter what
the crime, unless given a death PEN
atty.

TWO OFFICERS shot
down BY STRANGER
Difficulty Started When Woman Came
to the Hotel Claiming to be cIark's
Wfe-ssnsationaI Affair is shroud-
ed In Mystery.

Omaha, Neb., Jan. 14.-Three peo-
pie are dead and one seriously wound
ed as the result of tragedy in hotel
in this city early this morning.
Albert Clark of Denver, registered
at the hotel several days ago. Early
this morning a woman appeared at the
hotel, claiming to be his wife. and
proceeded to Clarks room, where a
struggle ensued. Two policemen we're
sent to quiet the disturbance. Clark
fired on the officers when they entered
the door. One of them dropped to the
floor mortally wounded while the
other stumbled into the hall with a
bullet in his head which may prove
fatal.
After shooting the two officers,
Clark then turned the weapon on the
firing two shots into her heart.
He then placed the pistol to his own
head and sent the remaining bullet
through his brain.
Clark is unknown here and his rela-
tions with the woman who claimed to
be his wife will not be known until
the Denver end of the story is investi-
gated.

that his position was a new one. came
back with a salty communication
making clear the fact that he had is
sued former statement along similar
lines, that his position dated from the
beginning of his administration, and
that he had persistently refused TO
approve many of the applications for
support money before it was due
This contained paragraph to the eff.
feet that 1t might be inferred from Mr..
Edwards interview that governors
were to some extent under the super-
vision of treasurers.
Next came Mr.. Edwards on Tuesday
with a long interview characterizing
that statement as untrue, and as hav-
ing been known by the governor to be
untrue when he wrote it, following
which were several other uncompli-
mentary remarks about the chief exc
cutive.
The last lick, from the executive Of
flee yesterday referred to what the
governor considered Mr.. Edwards un-
fitness for the office he holds, citing
as evidence the difficulty he had in
making his official bond of $3.50, 900.
which was reduced to 100000 in or
der to enable him to make it. He
also referred to the old depository
trouble, in which he charged the
treasurer with violation of the law in
refusing to accept surety bonds as
security from the depository banks for
state funds and said that his removal
from office was prevented only by the
failure of the courts to do their duty
That, too, had been before intimated
by the governor, but that was several
months ago when the difference of
opinion between the members of the
depository commission or the ques-
ton OF accepting surety bonds was
just friendly sort of row with Gov
ernor Noel and Attorney General
Fletcher on one side and Treasurer
Edwards on the other, the majority
hnally winning after submitting the
question to the supreme court on the
suggestion of the treasurer.

BANKRUPTCY
Proceeding
COPLON CASE
indications Are That Assignment
to j. E. Davis Will Be
Set Aside.

1t is expected that on tomorrow the
case in bankruptcy of S. H. Coplon
will be heard in Biloxi before the fed
eral referee.
Mr.. Coplon first made an assign
ment, it will be remembered. with
Judge ]. E. Davis as the assignee. and
an order was secured from the chanc-
cry court permitting the sale of the
goods either at wholesale or retail
but before this order was put into ef.
feet some of the creditors of the firm
tok steps to have Mr.. Coplon adiudged
bankrupt. In making his assignment
Mr.. Coplon desired to treat all to
whom he was indebted in the same
manner, and so he had no preferred
creditors. The money from the sale
OF the goods, after paying the neces.
sary expenses incident to their sale,
would have been equally distributed
between all the creditors of Mr.. Cop
Ion.
1t appears, however, that some of
the largest creditors had their ac-
counts with some imdemnifying COM
pany, and in order to get settlements
with these companies, 1t is said to be
necessary for any failure to take the
route. 1t is probable that
some understanding will be reached
tomorrow before the referee in bank

If there are any relatives of William
A. Lynch, for many years a rancher

they may come in for slice of a
large estate that Lynch has jus. left
without claimants. Lynch resided on
a ranch on the south fork of the

known of him, and so far as known
he has no relatives. He was thrifty
and accumulated several thousand
acres of good land, besides large
bank account in the Belle Fourche
banks. Unless relatives appear his

and if any are alive, they are request
