.LUCEDALE MILL
Will CLOSE down
overstocked Market, it is Averred,
Make Further Operations at This
Time Improbable.

Lucedale, Miss, Sept. 28.-The big
sawmille of the K. c. Lumber Compa-
NV of this place, has been shut down
indefinitely. The management of the
plant declares there is more lumber
on the market than the supply de-
mands, and it seems that a great
many of the big mill interests will shut
down until the present supply is con-
sumed in the market. This will throw
several hundred men in this communi-
ty out of employment during the time
the mill is closed down, and dull
times are expected by the merchants
and business men of this place.
Simon London, who has been with
the Bank of Lucedale ever since it's
organization, has severed his relations
with that institution, and accepted a
position with the Fine Mercantile Co.
here. Mr.. London started in the bank
as a messenger boy, and has been pro-
cashier when he resigned He is a
young man, not yet 21 years old.
E. V. Mckay, chancery clerk of
George county, has been busy for the
past two weeks making copies of the
assessment rolls. He now has the job
about completed, and ready to send
one copy to the state auditor and turn
the other over to the tax collector.
This matter was delayed for some
time, as the authorities of George
county have to wait until the rolls of
Greene and Jackson counties are
made up, and have the assessment
rolls made from the rolls of these two
counties taken in the formation of
George county. But the matter will
be in good shape by the last of Octo-
Der, the date when the taxes become
payable.

dash out Capital to his home in the
country, where he arrived in record
time.
Mr.. Peyton Hall took the police in
his automobile and started after the
dog, but speed as he would, he could
not catch the thoroughly frightened
canine. The police fired at the dog
several times from the auto, but their
shots went wide of the mark, while
the dog increased his speed and soon
distanced his pursuers.
But with the fleeing dog and shoot
ing the streets were quickly cleared
of all pedestrians, and women and
children seeking refuge in stores. Sew
eral persons were almost as badly
frightened as the dog, but further
than creating considerable excitement
no damage was done.

JACKSON HAS A
mad DOG SCARE

Jackson, Mss, Sept. 27.-Jackson
had mad cog scare Tuesday after
noon, but Instead of being mad, it
seems the dog was only frightened,
as he outran four policemen in an
automobile and escaped, although he
was shot at several times.
The dog first attracted attention
coming up Capital street. He was
a country dog, and evidently had been
badly frightened at the city noise.
AS he ran up the street another dog
ran at him and the dog snapped at
the terrier. This started the cry of
mad dog, and the chase was on.
Patrolman Ebb Taylor first gave
chase, and was soon Joined by Assist
ant Chief Rainey and others. They

Man GETS FORTUNE
FOR HIS COURTESY

st. Louis, Mo-, Sept. 28.-For his
unfailing courtesy to elderly people
Clarence Hoblitzelle, of New York
formerly social arbiter among the
young bachelors of st. Louis, is made
a beneficiary in the will of Mrs. A. L.
R. Bailey, a wealthy widow He will
receive all of the stock held by Mrs.
Bailey in Boatman's Bank and the
American Central Trust Company.
Mrs. Bailey was a daughter of the
late Judge Alexander Hamilton, one
of the most distinguished lawyers of
his day, and the widow of Lewis B.
Bailey. Her estate is variously esti-
mated at from $250,O00 to 100000,
and is left for the most part to chari-
ties.
One of the characteristics which
made Hoblitzelle SOCIAL favorite was
his exquisite and apparently spon-
taneous courtesy to the elderly men
and women with whom he came in
contact. He made 1t practice to do
them favors and to give them all of
his time they seemed to care for. Of
ten he called upon Mrs. Bailey, and
chatted with her or read to her, and
when he was out of town he upfailfng-
ly wrote to her.
In her will, written by herself, Mrs.
Bailey speaks of Hoblitzelle as "My
dear friend"
The value of the stocks bequeathed
to him is not yet known to the st.
Louis Union Trust Company, executor
of the estate, as the safety deposit
vault in which they are stored has not
been opened, but is believed to be con-

Starkvi1le, Miss, Sept. 28.-The Ok
tibbeha Fair Association has added an
other day, and will hold their fair on

PRELIMINARY TRIAL

river. Watson replied that it made
no difference to him. Mrs. Watson
produced suit case and had taken
some clothing from it, when her hus
band approached her and said:
Mora, l want to know whether you
are going with me or not" Defen
dant was standing within arms reach
of Mrs. Watson at this time. In re-
ply to this question, Mrs. Watson
asked
Darling, what would you do to
your baby if she didn't go" 'Tll
show you," said Watson, and draw
ing a revolver, fired three times, Mrs.
Watson falling to the floor. Mrs.
Mccullough, who had been standing
by the side of her daughter when the
shooting occurred, ran into the hall;
Watson also passed into the hall and
fired at Mrs. Mccullough, the ball pen-
etrating the left shoulder.
Defendant then left the house, hur-
riedly, according to witness, and sew
eral shots were hard shortly after
ward, in the direction in which he
ran. Witness testified that the couple
had always appeared fond of each
other, and, that so far as she knew,
there was no motive for the shooting
except the fact that Mrs. Watson did
not want to accompany her husband
to the river. The pistol with which
the shooting had been done was
brought to the Mccullough home by
Mrs. Watson.
Deputy Sheriff McGilvray was then
called and testified as to having Wis
tied the Mccullough home after the
tragedy occurred; he examined the
pistol shots which were found in the
wall and door facing, and said they
must have been fired at Mrs. Watson
from above, which would indicate, that
Watson was standing and his wife
sitting. The corpse was lying across
chair, with feet in the room and
head near the door which leads into
the hall.
At this jncture the state rested its
case, and adjournment was had until
1:3O o'clock this afternoon.
At the afternoon session counsel for
the state asked leave to introduce an
additional witness, and Mr.. L. A.
Pratt was sumomned. Mr.. Pratt tes-
titled that he visited Watson in Jail
about two weeks ago and asked him
why he had killed his wife. Watson
stated, according to witness, that he
was tired of her and wanted her out
of the way, or words to that effect,
and that he had tried to kill Mrs. Nc
Cullough so that she could not testify
against him Witness stated that he
had known Watson for a number of
years and had been intimate with him.
When asked by witness what induced
lim to resort to such rash steps, Wat
son replied that it was "just pure dew
lment" Defendant further stated to
