FARMERS ALONG MADISON LAKE
ROAD ARE AROUSED.
From Saturdays Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
Michael Mcnamara, who lives on the
Madison Lake road, states that the
farmers are becoming worked up over
the fast and illegal driving of some
autOists using the road. They have the
names of several. and prosecutions may
follow unless the practice is discon-
tinued. The autoists in question are
said to brag of making the trip to
the lake in twenty minutes, and 60
in the darkness without lights, pass
ing farmers at a terrific clip and scar
ing their horses.
Parties knowing the names of such
violators of the law ought to report
the names to John II. Holman, presi-
dent of the Mankato Automobile club,
who will no doubt take steps to have
the practice stopped. The farmers and
other drivers of horses have as many
rights as the drivers of automobiles,
and these rights should be respected.
The law governing the rights of au-
tomobilists in regard to the matters
complained of is as follows:
What the Law Says.

the public highways of this state shall
be provided with adequate brakes suf-
ficient to control the vehicle at all

rise, display at least two lighted lamps
visible from the front and one on the
rear of such vehicle, which shall also

ried upon the rear of such vehicle.
The light of the front lamps shall be
visible at least two hundred feet in

motor vehicle using gasoline as motive
power shall use a 'muffler,' so called,
and the same shall not be cut out or
disconnected within the limits of any
city or village within the state.

REPRESENTATIVE HAMMOND Is
HOME FROM LABORS.
From Mondays Daily.

From Mondays Daily.
Congressman w. S. Hammond reach
ed these parts Saturday. He passed
through Mankato during the afternoon,
and he did not alight from the train
at st. James, but nodded at acquaint-
ances on the platform from the open
window of his coach. His sister and
brother were at the depot to greet
him. Mr.. Hammond continued his
journey to Pipestone where he remain
ed until night, returning to st. James
early Sunday morning.
Mr.. Hammond seems to have escaped
the reporters in st. Paul, if he passed
through that city, for not line APP
peared in the papers published in that
city or Minneapolis yesterday morn
ing.
Does Not Want Governorship.
Representative Hammond is not a
candidate for governor, and he does
not want the nomination forced upon
him. He is of the belief that Lind will
be the nominee and that the gentle
man from Minneapolis will accept. Any
man who is nominated for that posi-
ton should accept it. That is the
way that Mr.. Hammond views such a
happening.
Mr. Hammond stated that he is a
candidate for denomination and reelec-
ton to congress.
That is the meat of conversatio
that took place today between the sec
ond district congressman and news
paper man.

BITTERLY CRITICISED.
Patterson Justly Roasted for Par
doning Cooper.

Capt. G. T. Fitzhugh, of Memphis,
Tenn, assistant counsel for the pros
ecution in the Cooper case, whose
speech at the famous trial attracted
widespread attention characterized
the pardon of D. B. Cooper as an out
rage. Wednesday he said: "The
disgraceful haste displayed by the
Governor in pardoning D. B. Cooper
before the ink was hardly dry on the
Supreme Court opinion convicted
him of murder, shocks every sense OF
decency.
Sworn to execute the laws as
construed by the highest Court, the
Governor, without even petition
from any one tramples law under
foot and sets aside the Courts de-
cision for the benefit of a cold blood
ed murderer, whose influence with
the Governor is, and has been, far
more potent than the interests and
safety of the people of this great

sometimes. A man who went to a
neighboring town one Saturday few

he awoke and on finding himself in a

KILLED OVER ROAD ROW.
Two Dead, One Dying Result OF
Georgia Battle.

Lyons, Ca, April 1.-Two dead,
one dying and probably one or two
others slightly wounded are the re-
suits of a Sunday afternoon battle
in an interfamily feud of long stand
ing, which was renewed this after
noon near Emanuel.
The dead are: E. S. Collins, road
overseer for his district, and we'll
to-do farmer, and his son, William
Collins, both of whom died during
the progress of the fight. Alma
Lewis is so badl; wounded that he Is
expected to die at any moment.
The battle was between the family
of Collins and the family Of Lewis,
and was the outcome Of dispute
over a public road crossing. The
two families reside less than a mile
apart and the county line runs be-
tween their homes. Fathers and
sons met in a lane this afternoon
near the Lewis home.
Shotguns Versus Revolvers.
Just how the battle started is not
known. The members Of the Collins
family were armed with pistols,
while two shotguns were used on the
other side. A number of persons
watched the battle, which was fought
in the open, both sides standing
bravely up to the mark.
Joseph Lewis, father of Alma
Lewis, is alleged to have fired the
shot that ended the life of the elder
Collins. Tonight, however, he
would make no statement The sher-
IFS of both Toombs and Emanuel
counties have gone to the scene OF
the trouble with physicians.
AS both families are well-to-do and
we'll known, the shooting created a
sensation in both counties. 1t was
known that they were not on the
best of terms.
Dozen Shots Fired.
Communication with the scene OF
the battle can only be had over per-
sonal lines, and details are hard to
obtain. However it was learned
that a dozeT or more shots were
fired and it was stated that the others
who were wounded besides Alma
Lewis are but little hurt.
It was stated later tonight that
three arrests had been made Of sur
yivors of the battle.

Burglars Rob Bank.

Spring City, Tenn, April H.
Robbers blew the vault Of the First
National Bank of this place this
morning at 1:25 o'clock and escaped
with over $4,000. Nitroglycerine
wax used.
Bloodhounds were placed on the
trail, but thus far the safe blowers
have not been apprehended.
Last night there was $4,000 in
the vault and this morning only $50
was found. One of the robbers shot
at S. E. Paul, assistant cashier OF
the bank, as he was en- route to the
institution following the explosion.
Nitroglycerine was poured into the
cracks around the safe door. Five
TASKS of the explosives were found In
the building this morning. The work
was evidently that of inexperienced
men. It is thought the party was
composed of four.
Entrance to the building was made
through a side door. The first ex-
plosion was heard at 1925 O'Clock.
Several persons in the vicinity were
aroused and rushed to the bank.
At 1.40 the robbers were seen leav!
ing the institution, having looted the
safe in twenty minutes.
During the time the thieves were
robbing the bank one of the mem
bers of the party held up the opera
tor at the Cincinnati Southern rail-
road station to prevent him giving an
alarm Of the robbery.
The building, a substantial brick
structure, was badly damaged, the
front entrance being practically de-
stroyed. The safe was blown to
pieces, one of the doors being found
several feet away.
A search for the robbers was at
once instituted. However no clue to
their identity has yet been discov-
cred.

ports of loss of life and heavy dam
age to property by storm which
swept over southwest Alabama this
afternoon have been received here.
Irwin, a small village in the south
western corner of Wilcox, suffered

number of deaths.
Practically every house in the VII
lage is said to have been wiped out
The population of Irwin is about
100. The storm was violent in many
parts of the State and it is believed
there were many fatalities.

instantly killed by lightning. At the
same place Mrs. George Crenshaw

DUNCAN B. COOPER FREED
PARDONED BY THE GOVERNOR
OF TENNESSEE.
Supreme Court Had just Affirmed
His Sentence-Robin Cooper
Gets New Trial.

Nashville, Tenn, April 14.-Gov-
ernor Patterson late yesterday after
noon pardoned Colonel Duncan B.
Cooper, who sentence of twenty
years in the penitentiary for the
murder of United States Senator B.
W. Carmack was affirmed by the
State Supreme Court. Although II
was believed by many that the chief
executive would take this action

action of the court created sensa-
tion.

Colonel Cooper said:
"Being thoroughly familiar with
the record, having read all the testi'
mony and testified to certain facts

Is neither desirable nor necessary to
detail action for petition to be pre-
sented asking executive clemency.
'tIn my opinion, neither Of the
defendants is guilty, and they have
not had fair and impartial trial
but were convicted contrary to the
law and evidence. The action OF
.ne Supreme Court, in vacating the
Judgment as to Robin Cooper, leaves
the sentence of final conviction as
ito his co-defendant. The proof
showed that Robin Cooper killed the
deceased and that D. B. Cooper did
not fire a shot. Without rejecting
upon the court, it is inconceivable to
my mind and repugnant to every
principle of justice that mar
should be found guilty of murder,
who was not In a conspiracy to kill
and who, in fact, did not kill
Friends of Carmack Indignant.
The friends of Senator Carmack
are indignant over the hasty action
of the governor and the matter is
being discussed by excited groups OF
men on the streets.
After being handed his pardon,
Colonel Cooper, was Immediately
surrounded by his friends and con-
sEratulated. Accompanied by his son
and other relatives be then repaired
to the home of his daughter, Mrs.

It Is doubted here that the case
against Robin Cooper, which was re-
yersed to-day, will ever again be
brought to trial.

DEMANDS VOTE OF PEOPLE.
Percy Challenges Vardaman to Run
in Senatorial Primary.

JdChSOll, MloS., 11pl1l w.. III VI loA
United States Senator Leroy Percy
to-day demanded that the question
of the validity of his election be sub
mitted to a vote of the people of
Mississippi and challenged his lead
ing opponent in the recent senatorial
caucus, Former Gov. Jas. K. Varda-
man, to enter primary election, to
be held during the month Of Novem-
Der of this year.
This def came as the climax Of a
speech before the joint session of the
two branches of the State legilature,
in which Mr.. Percy unsparingly de-
|nounced State Senator Thodore Bill
bo and those who charged irregulari-
ties in connection with the recent
senatorial contest in which he was
the successful candidate.
It is the plan of Mr.. Percy that
the election be regularly called by
the State Democratic executive COM
mittee and shall apply to the regular
senatorial term, to begin after the
completion of the present unexpired
term of the late Senator McLaurin,
for which Mr.. Percy was selected to
serve.
Willing to Resign.
Should the result be adverse to
him, Percy agrees that he will resign
and the governor may appoint some
one to serve until the next term,
which would begin in 1913. Pend
ing a conference between Mr.. Varda-
man and his friends, the entire mat
ter was held in allegiance. Tonight
it. was the intention that Mr.. Varda-
man be heard in reply to Mr.. Percy,
but a storm Of almost cyclonic pro-
portions disarranged plans and the
legislature will meet again to-mor-
row in joint session to hear the
former governor.
Senator Percy's address was vigor-
Gus from the outset and was a scath-
ing arraingment of Senator Bilbo,
who charged that money was used in
connection with the senatorial con-
test.
Deplores Scandal.
After telling of the bright out
look for Democracy and the fear dis
cernible among the Republicans.
Senator Percy spoke of the humilia-
ton put upon the State of Mississippi
by the charges of bribery heralded
abroad, saying that kilograms grew
thicker and thicker. in Northern pa
pers, The air was full of rumors OF
foul deeds. lies and ISLANDERS and,
more than that, the intimations, the
suggestions, the innuendos, the un-
fathered questions, for which no man
would stand, by which it was sought
to- break down the names of those
that Mississippi has held in rever-
ence, Anderson, Alexander, Byrd,
Critz,. Kyle, and Street, as pure and
able patriots as the State of Missis-
sippi has ever produced.
"Your investigation has shown to
the world that no stain rests upon the
commission that you have given me;
that no suspicion or reproach rests
uponathe integrity Of the State of
Mississippi. I deny that the will OF
the people. has been thwarted, that
the same reason that made the legis-
lature of the State OF Mississippi re-
pudiate Vardaman is what makes the
people of the State willing and de-
sirous Of repudiating Vardamanism
because they are weary Of the sense
less agitation and strife breeding"
