MIDNIGHT BLAZE
MAY Bring ABOUT
AN INVESTIGATION
Hole Burned Through Floor of Second
Story Room Regarded With
Suspicion.

A midnight blaze on Sixth street be-
tween Mobile and New Orleans last
night, may bring about an official in
vestigation into the cause by Chief
Potter. A large hole burned through
the floor of second story room is ST.
lent evidence that is registered with
suspicion.
The house, two-story frame struc-
ture, owned and occupied by Carrie
Owens, negress, valued at $4,000
and insured with Collins & King
for $1,000, was in flames when the en-
gineer of Gulf and Ship Island
switch engine noticed the fire. The
engine whistle called out the depart
ment quickly enough for Company No.
1 to save adjoining buildings.
The Owens house, light frame
structure, is practically loss. The
damage was confined to the one build
ing.
The owner of the house could give
no cause for the fire, other than
that two strange negroes occupied the
room in which the blaze started.

A dirt road $50 miles long, and

SALE MEANS A COLONY PROJECT
Hon. J. c. Street, Of Hattiesburg, Clos
ing Up One Of the Largest Deals
of Recent Years.

Through the efforts of the Missis-
sippi Land Development Company, or
as natural consequence of general
conditions, homeseekers from the North
West and East are turning Southwark,
vantage of the opportunities offered
in South Mississippi, especially in the
cut-over territory.
Through Hon. j. G. Street, of this
city, one of the largest land deals in
this immediate territory has just been
negotiated, and Mr.. Street leaves next
week for st. Louis for the purpose of
completing the transfer of the prop
erty.
This deal involves the transfer of
5000 acres of cut-over lands near Lum-
berton, Miss, the purchase being
made by st. Louis parties as agents
for land syndicate for colonization
purposes. Although the price which
has been offered for this large tract
of land will not be made public until
after the transaction shall be finally
closed, it is intimated that the figures
will set new record for lands in this
section.
In addition to this transaction, news
comes from Natchez that a Northern
syndicate is negotiating for a tract oil
10000 acres of cut-over lands il
Adams county and has offered a cash
price of Sc per acre. 1t is stated that
several of the corporations which
own large tracts of these lands in
Southern Mississippi are constantly
getting inquiries from syndicates and
individuals, all of which indicates that
within comparatively short while
the seed sowing now being done by
the Mississippi Land Development
Company in advertising these lands
will yield great harvest of sales
and if this community keeps abreast
and in touch with this organized move
ment no section should receive greater
results than right here in Forrest
and surrounding counties.

ATTORNEY SEEKS TO DRAW

A TRAP.
MRS. LAWRENCE NOW ON STAND
She Is Telling Of The Plot To sribe

~.@Ens.sss.
(By Associated Press.l


Yazoo City, Nov. 26.-Thefe was an
increased attendance at the Dulaney
bribery trial this morning when court
opened with Senator Bilbo still on the
stand.
Attorneys have continued argument
on the question whether the defense
should be allowed to bring in on cross
examination indictments connected
with Bilbos official conduct prior to
the trial. These arguments have con-
sumed all the morning session.
BiIbo on the Stand.
Senator Bilbo occupied the stand all
Friday and so far has been the only
witness. ITS lie,' was his answer
several times while under the probe
of cross-examination by Attorney
Wells.
Asked as to whether or not he told
Senator Bailey that he (Bilbo) knew
he could trust Mrs. Neal, the witness
declared the suggestion to be a lie,
that he had not heard anything de-
rogatory to Mrs. Meals character.
Again asked concerning his work as
chairman of the committee on local
and private legislation in the matter
OF creating the county of Stone, Sena-
tor Bilbo declared to be a lie the re-
port that he had said to w. H. Ratcliff.
OF Gloster, that it took money to Gre
ate a new county and that he could
guarantee the bill to pass both houses
for $4,000.
Later the witness admitted that af-
ter Ratcliff had been summoned be-
fore the senatorial investigation last
winter he had called hi mup over the
telephone. He had not, however. asked
Ratcliff to stay away from Jackson.
The state here protested against
the attack on Bilbos character by the
defense. Judge Henry overruled the
objection, promising to reverse himself
If convinced later to the contrary.
Laid the Trap.
Continuing, Senator Bilbo told of
meeting Mrs. Hall and Mrs. Neal at
the Lemon Hotel, where he was board
ing. He heard them discussing the
situation with other men, grew suspi-
cious that efforts were being made to
bribe and corrupt members who were
called on to elect United States SEN
ator, and later called conference of
Vardaman men at the office of Com
missioner of Agriculture Blakeslee in
the capitol. Judge Potter, S. ]. Tay.
lor, Ben Ward and others were pres.
ent, Senator Bilbo swore, when he un-
folded his tale, and he asked their
advice as to how to trap those who
might be offering money for votes. An
agreement, he testified, was entered
into by which he undertook the work.

YOUNG EXPRESS CLERK WHO
WENT WRONG PREFERS TO
SERVE SENTENCE.
HE REFUSES TO INVOLVE OTHERS
Could Not be Shown He Was Insane
Ciemency Was FruitIess.

ihoe yooi6 ShCotCl ~ uIhCtty thC
young express clerk who pleaded gull
ty to embezzling funds of the company
and was sentenced to a term of two
years in the state penitentiary, will
have to serve that sentence, or a por-
tion of it, there no longer appears to
be the slightest doubt.
1t will be recalled that Immediately
after the sentence had been pronounc-
ed, Rev. !. P. Trotter and a large num-
ber of kind-hearted people instituted
an investigation into the circumstanc-
es connected with the case with a
view to secure a new trial for the
young man; or, in the event that this
should fail, it was hoped to secure
his pardon from the governor before
the present term of court should
close.
The Baracca class of the Baptist
church, of which Pickett had been a
member, was actiye in his behalf and
engaged the services of Attorneys S.
e. Travis and F. M Hunt to represent
the youth in the necessary proceed
ings before the court. These gentle
men called upon Judge Johnson, re-
questing that new trial be granted
during the present term, and were
told that if reputable physicians could
be produced who would swear that
Puckett's mind was not normal at the
time he pleaded guilty to the charge
of embezzlement, new trial would be
granted; otherwise, not.
In order to satisfy himself upon
this point, Judge Johnson had the
young man examined by a prominent
physician of Hattiesburg, but the re-
suit of this examination is known only
to the physician. In the meantime,
nothing was being done towards cir
culating petition for pardon until it
should be finally determined whether
or not efforts to secure a new trial
should prove successful.
Is Ready to Serve.
When Pickett was advised of this
fact he sent for Rev. I. P. Trotter and
stated frankly that he had no desire
fol another hearing; in fact, he pre-
ferred that the case be not re-opened,
and intimated that if all the facts
should be brought out others would
be implicated, and he preferred to
enter upon the sentence of the court
and trust that pardon might be OBJ
tanned later.
DR.. Trotter had already ascertained
/ that the chances for a pardon were
very meagre; that other circumstances
which had not been made public pre-
vented the express officials and Judge
Johnson from signing the petition
and Puckett was thus informed. The
young man, however, insisted that
there be no re-hearing of the case. and
all efforts in his behalf were dropped
