engine of Western Pacific train No. 4.
Deceased, who was in the employ Of
the Western Union, was returning to
Sulphur after a days work at q point
several miles west, on q speeder. He
was observed by the engine crew, who
repeatedly sounded the whistle, but he
evidently did not hear it or thought
the train was some distance away.
When the engineer saw that he was
making no effort to leave the track
with his machine, the brakes were ap-
piled, but the train could not be stop
ped in time to avoid the accident, and
the machine was struck and Mcleod
thrown to one side Of the track, meet
ing instant dath.
Coroner Robins was at once notified
and with Dolph Railsback, assistant
undertaken for Alter & Alter, went to
Sulphur on No / the same evening, re-
turning to town with the remains yes-
terday morning.

Insurance Tax.

That the insurance department is
one OF the most prolific sources of rev.
enue to the state is demonstrated by
the fact that the average yearly pay
ments through it into the treasury
amount to about 100000, and this is

No Pardon for McInnis.

Gov. Noel has reached final con.
clusion in regard to the case of ex-
Sheriff d. c. McInnis of Simpson
county, petition for whose pardon has
been in the hands of the governor for
some time. The petitioner, as the
court records show, pleaded guilty to
one Of several counts in an indictment
against him, charging him with misap-
preparation or misapplication of coun-
ty funds, for which he was response
Bile, and was given sentence of one
year in the county jail, together with
fine and taxation for costs, which
latter amounted to something like
$1,000. He was afterwards tried on
another Indictment or account,
and was convicted and sentenced to
seven years in the penitentiary, which,
however, was reversed by the supreme
court. Then followed efforts to secure
remission of the costs assessed
against him, which have been so stout.

DULANEY WANTS CHANGE VENUE
Believes He Cannot Get Unprejudiced
Trial at Jackson.

On Wednesday, August 81, the time
will have arrived for taking up formally
the motion of counsel for L. G. Dulaney,
indicted by the grand jury last March
for alleged tender or giving of bride to
Theo G. Bilbo, member of the state
senate, in order to influence his vote in
the choice of senator, for change of
venue on the general ground that the de-
PENDANT could not secure fair and i'm
partial trial in Kinds county.
This motion was pending at the June
term of the criminal section of the court,
but for obvious reasons Judge Henry de-
ferred the hearing until the time indi-
Gated. As the matters and things con-
nected with the case are of statewide
notoriety it is quite probable that it will
be one of the most interesting and sig
nificant court sittings within recent his
tory of the state.

CLOSING IN ON DYKE EDWARDS.
Escaped Convict Closely Pursued by Mis-
sissippi Officers.


Officers are finally on the trail of Dyke
Edwards, who, it is believed, is trying to
make his way out of the state to Bib
county, Alabama.
Edwards escaped from Rankin farm
two weeks ago, and while there was
reward of $3.50 for his capture, and, al
though he was seen several times, once
at Philadelphia and later around Sturgis,
Oktibbeha county, where he shot and
killed DIR. A. +. Richardson, no attempt
was made to take him.
Later, it is said, he was Joined by ellis
and his brother, Jim Edwards, and they
have been, for several days, somewhere
between Sturgis and Carrollton, awaiting
the proper time to escape from the state
to Alabama, where Edwards has rela-
tives. A close watch is being kept on the
fugitives, as all three are wanted; Dyke
Edwards to complete life term in the
penitentiary; Jim Edwards to complete a
term in the Oktibbeha county Jail, and
ellis for alleged assault with intent to
kill.
upon learning tne men were SUN Ia Inc
state, Gov. Noel increased the rewards to
$3.50 on the part of the state, which, with
the $50 offered by the trustees of the
penitentiary, makes total of $500 for
Dyke Edwards capture. This reward
will be paid by the state for Edwards
dead or alive, and any citizen of the
state, after demanding his surrender, I'M
der the laws of Mississippi, is authorized
to shoot him down.

JACKSON.
NOEL GETS BOND CIRCULAR.
He Doesn't Think London Bankers
Scheme Has Had Much Effect.

A copy of the circular recently is
sued by the London corporation OF
bondholders urging the New York
stock exchange to blacklist Mississippi
state securities, because of the alleged
reputation of bonds by this state in
ante-bellum days, has reached the
governors office.
Gov. Noel declines to comment on
the circular except to express the
opinion that its issuance had nothing
whatever to do with the states failure
to sell 100000 in bonds few weeks
ago. He attributes the fact that the
bonds were not sold on account OF the
state Of the money market, and the
fact that no state has been able dur
ing the past six months to negotiate
per cent securities.
The London corporation of bond
holders evidently believes that, by
thus declaring blacklist on Missis-
sippi securities, 1t can force the state
to pay the alleged repudiated bonds,
issued in the early SOS. The London
financiers gre perhaps not aware OF
the fact that the Mississippi constitu-
ton contains clause prohibiting the
recognition of these alleged securities,
and that public sentiment in this state
would never indorse such an action,
even if it were possible to arrange for
their cancellation without an amend
ment to the constitution.
The principal and accumulated in
terest of the Planters bank bonds,
computing interest at 6 per cent for
period of sixty-seven years, amounts
to $1,000, 900, while the principal and
interest of the Union bank bonds
amounts to $26,750,000, making a
grand total of $96,79O,OO0.

That the Western Union Telegraph
Company earned money, by a slight
margin, on its Mississippi business
during the June quarter, 1910. is dem

railroad commission. The Western
Union reports receipts from local and
interstate business amounting to $44,-

Of $542.5S for taxes, leaving revenue
