RUMORS OF threats
TO NEGRO PoRTERs
Are Denied by the Striking Clerks-
Porters cIs'm That They Were
Warned to Quit Their Jobs in the
Freight Warehouses.

Apparently there is no change in the
New Orleans and Northeastern strike
situation so far as Hattiesburg is con-
cerned, both sides claiming that they
are getting the best of the deal and
each holding firm to its original posi-
tion.
According to statements made by
negro porters who have been employed
in the local freight warehouses, they
were waited upon last night by party
of strikers and warned not to show up
for work this morning, else submit to
severe drubbing. Two Of the porrers
who claim to have been visited by the
clerks reported for duty this morning
and informed Agent Singleton of the
alleged threat, while two others failed
to show up on their jobs.
A number of clerks who were ques-
toned by a News reporter this morn
ing denied any knowledge of the oc-
currence, and none could be found who
professed to know anything whatever
of it. Those who were seen expressed
the belief that the negroes were natu-
rally afraid and framed up the story
in order to let themselves out as easily
as possible.
While Mr.. Singleton expressed deep
regret at this alleged action on the
part of the clerks, the story, he stated,
was related to him in such a straight
forward manner by the clerks that he
is confident there is some foundation
for it, He stated that he had been
furnished with the name of one of the
parties who are said to have waited
upon the porters, and an effort will be
made to ferret out the facts in the
case.
Apparently the sentiment among the
business men of Hattiesburg is about
evenly divided. Those who are in
sympathy with the clerks, however,
are not disposed to condone any acts
of interference, believing that the men
will stand a better chance to win out
by adherring to their original policy OF
non-interference with the men who
have been engaged to take their places.
They would be glad for the clerks to
secure the increase in pay, realizing
that the increased cost of living with
out corresponding increase in salary
has worked a hardship upon them.
On the other hand, there are num-
ber of business men who want the
strike settled Immediately, for fear
that their interests might suffer on
account of the confusion which will
naturally result in the handling OF
freight at the local office.
Agent Singleton is doing everything
possible to take care of the public's in
terests. and so far has succeeded ad-
mirably. Freight is being received
/ and delivered as usual, and while the
places of the strikers have in nearly
every instance been filled by men in
experienced. in railroad work, suffi-
cient experienced help has been Sc
cured to handle the situation with but
little difficulty.

BEAUTIFUL GIRL
. FOUND MURDERED
Her Throat Had Been Cut From Ear
to Ear and Her Body Badly
Mutilated. 20 "~

Detroit, Sept. 27.-A Detroit News
dispatch from Goderich, Ont, says!
Elizabeth Anderson, 16 years old, re-
garded as one of the most beautiful
girls of this city, was found murdered
yesterday in a deserted house on the
outskirts of town.
Miss Anderson disappeared yester-
day morning, soon after being seen in
conversation with stranger.
The young woman's throat was cut
from ear to ear, the wound having
been made apparently with a heavy
knift or possibly with an axe, and her
body was badly mutilated.

HUKT
while RIDING RODS
Foot Was Crushed by Car Wheels And
Man Might Have Died Had it Not
Been For Timely Accident.

A remarkable experience was had
on Sunday by Varney James, a
young white man of Admission, Ala,
who attempted to steal ride on No.
8 from Enterprise to some point south
of that town on the N. o. & N. e.
railroad.
While getting his position on the
''rods" his right foot was run over by
two car wheels and crushed. He
maintained his position on the rods
with his mangled foot dangling. The
run from Enterprise to Laurel is 5S
miles, which is long run for a well
man on the underside of a coach.
A remarkable incident in this con-
nection is the fact that after his foot
was crushed to jelly, James being on
the rods with one hand and arm and
cut a hole in the air brake attach
ments and caused the engine to stop.
But for that clever work on his part,
he could not possibly have hung on
the rods to Laurel.
( James was brought to the South
Mississippi Infirmary, and the injured
foot amputated. ,.-
His, physicians think it welld have
been impossible for James to have
stood the trip to Laurel notwithstand-
ing the fact that to have fallen meant
immediate death by the passing of
three sleepers over his body.

Haskell ON TRIAL
FOR CONSPIRACY
IN town SITES
The Government Is Ready To Proceed
With Case.-Five Others Also
Are Implicated.

McAlester, Okla, Sept. 27.-The
trial of Charles N. Haskell, Governor
of Oklahoma, in what are known as
the Muskogee town lot cases, was
called here yesterday before Federal
Judge John A. Marshall, of Salt Lake
City, Utah.
United States District Attorney
William j. Gregg, who is to be as
sisted by Attorney S. R. Rush, of Ok
lahoma, and D. r. Hainer, of Tulsa,
OKLA, announced that the govern
ment was ready to proceed and urged
that the work of selecting a jury be-
gin at once.
In the indictment returned by a
Federal jury Gov. Haskell and five
business men of Muskogee are
charged with Conspiracy to defraud
the government" in the disposal of
about 600 town sites. The sites were
sold by the government in 1902 on
behalf of the Creek Indians.
1t is alleged that Gov. Haskell and
others, by falsely scheduling, procured
the lots illegally. Persons in Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois. Tennessee, Texas,
and other States were registered with
out their knowledge or consent, it is
alleged, as being entitled to buy the
lots at one-half the appraised value,
and when the deeds were made out,
Haskell and his associates bought
them for nominal amounts. In this
way, it is charged, the Governor and
five other men were able to procure
six hundred lots, whereas the govern
ment rules for the sale provided that
not more than two lots should be sold
tol any one person.
