Girls Strategy Saves Life.


Heroism and wit of Miss Matilda
Mccullough, a pretty sixteen-year-old
country girl, saved two youths from
death on the tracks of the P~ennsylva.
mia Railroad nea West Morrisville.
A companion of the two was killed.
Philip G. johnson, George Schrecken-
goth and Edward Crockett, of Balti-
more, Md, were walking to New York
City in search of work. At an early
hour Miss Mccullough, who was
called to attend a sick neighbor, say
them on the tracks apparently una
ware of the approach of fast freight
trains in opposite directions hidden
from them by two sharp rye She
plunged down a steep embankment
and swan a wide pond to get within
hailing distance and warn them.
Their attention was attracted, but
they did not understand her warning.
Deep ravines prevented her nearer
approach and she resorted to strate-
gy. She fell, apparently helpless, to
the ground and cried for help.
Crockett leaped down the ravine to
her aid and the others were about to
follow when the trains bore down on
them. Johnson was instantly killed.
Schreckengoth escaped with slight in

NEGRO SHOOTS q
men IN MONROE, La
Half Crazed, He Dashes Through
Street Firing Shotgun.
KILLED, HIS BODY BURNED
Backs Into Hallway and Holds the
Throng at Bay Until He is
Brought Down - -Four Victims
Fatally Wounded.

Monroe, La.-Half-crazed, either
by whisky or cocaine, Bill Way, a
negro from Pine Bluff, Ark, dashed
down the main street of Monroe with
a double-barrelled shotgun, firing in
every direction. Citizens returned
the fire and the negro finally fell dead
after receiving a score or more of
wounds. T%wenty-one persons were
injured in the fight.
When the negro fell his body was
dragged into the street and later
taken to a public square and burned
In the presence OF several thousand
people.
The negro appeared on the street
with his shotgun under his arm and
his pockets filled with shells. When
he started to fire, those citizens who
were armed covered him and forced
him into a doorway, where he held
his ground. He would fire, step back
Into the doorway, reload his gun and
fire again. Several men returned his
fire every time that he appeared and
he finally fell with a bullet through
his heart.
Four of the twenty-one citizens
who were wounded by the negro were
in a serious condition, while the in
juries of the seventeen others were of
minor nature. 1t was feared for a
time that a mob might wreak ven.
geance on other members of the race,
but the authorities took prompt pre-
cautions and quiet was maintained.
Two officers who closed in on the
negro were fatally wounded. They
are Patrolman Bigger, shot in abdo-
men, and T. A. Grant, Deputy Sheriff,
shot in breast and neck. Simon
Marks, a merchant, received a serious
wound in the breast. George Nc
Cormick had his arm almost torn of
by a shot, but will recover. Among
those who received slight wounds was
Mayor Forsythe.
1t is believed the she'll used by the
negro contained small shot, for only
those close to him were dangerously
wounded.
The body of the negro was placed
on a pile of rubbish and about ten
gallons of coal oil poured over it.
Mayor Forsythe, despite his injury.
went to the scene and pleaded with
the mob, but his ~entreaties were in
vain.

Oh, Fashion, at thy decree;
And / would that my tongue could welcome
The things that taste good to me.
Oh, well for the Alderman's wife,
That she bravely starves to get slim;
And well for the tailor maid
Who runs and jumps in the Gym.
And the stately hips go off,
('Tis surely a wondrous feat!)
But, oh, for a touch of m~ayonnaise!
And the taste of a thing that is sweet!
Bant, bant, bant!
Oh, Fashion, at thy decree;
But the tender grace of a rounded form
Will never come back to me!
