ference in any way with the conduct

Two Factions Fight.
Jackson, Miss Oct. 3-When three
coaches loaded with strike-breake ers
arrived here late to-day pitched
battle occurred, in which one man is
believed to have received fatal in
inrics and number Of others more
or less seriously injured. Pistols were
fired, stones hurled and clubs welded
savagely on both sides. e. II. Mont
gomery. a striker, one of the oldest
employees of the Illinois Central rail
road system, was struck on the head
by a brick. His skull is fractured, it
is thought, and he is likely to die.
Reports are conflicting as to which
side began the fight. Some by-stand-
ers on the platform say the first mis-
Siles came from the coaches; railroad
| officials declare that stones were first
hurled through the windows of the
coaches. The strike-breakers were
lighting when they disembarked.

MOTORMAN GOES FREE.
Matthews Not Guilty Of Murder in
killing Walter Lylcs.

Atlanta, Sept. 3O.--W. NJ. Mat
thcws was found not guilty OF the
murder OF Walter Lyle by jury {.
his peers in Judge Bells court on
Friday afternoon. The jury, after
being out more than two hours, re-
turned the verdict at 2.05, and Mat
thews was freed.
1t was pathetic scene in the
crowded court room when Matthews
and members Of his family, crying
through sheer JOY, thanked the jury
and the Judge.
Lyle was killed at Capitol View on
the night Of August 18th by Mat
thews, who was a motorman for the
Georgia Railway and Electric Com
pany 1t was alleged at the time
that Lyle and several companions had
been badgering the motorman for
some time, and that, thoroughly cX-
asperated by the taunts Of the youths,
he had emptied his revolver into a
crowd OF five boys, killing Lyle and
w0unding another boy.

Injured Easley Child Dies.

EasIey, Sept. 30.-Fay, the five
year-old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Herbert Smith, who was struck by
Warren Smiths automobile last
Tuesday evening, died about 8 o'clock
this morning at the Greenville Hos
pital, where she was taken with a
view to operating. A thorough ex-
animation was held and the physi-
clans deemed 1t useless. Her case was
a most peculiar one, as no scars or
bruises were on the head or body;
yet she had been unconscious ever
since the accident, three and a hai.
days ago. The physicians first
thought that the fender Of the ma
chine struck her, but later decided
that 1t must have been the rubber
tire, as the fender would most prob
ably have cut cash in the face,
where there was a very slight scratch.

New Orleans, Sept. 30.-Annie

early trial according to the state
ment of District Attorney Adams to-
night. Legal counsel asked by the

1t was also announced that Miss
Crawford will not be charged with
causing the deaths Of her father, mo-
ther and sister Agnes, all OF whom
died under mysterious circumstances
in 1910. This decision, 1t is stated,
Is based on the city chemists report
that 1t practically would be imDossi-
bic to- determine the presence Of pois-
on in any Of the bodies after having
been buried so long.
Much comment has resulted from
the fact that no coroner's investiga-
tion was made in this case, all in
vestigat!on, being conducted person.
ally by the district attorney, working
with detectives of the local police de-
partment. 1t is declared by many
that the States case was weakened
by the fact that he did not warn the
made might be used against her. The
district attorney, however, says this
is not necessary in this State, the
Supreme Court having so ruled. Miss
Crawford has stated that no coer-
ci0n or harsh methods were used to
get her to confess.

from the doomed city.
Johnstown was city Of $4,000
population on the fatal day of the

lated waste Of water and ruins,
strewn for miles with corpses Of
men, women and children. Such a
horror hos never before been known
in the annals Of American history.
The dam across the Conemaugh river
suddenly collapsed, without mo-
ments warning, releasing a lake two
and one-half miles long, mile and
half wide and in many places as
much as one hundred feet deep. The
flood rushed down the valley of the
Concmaugh upon the unsuspecting
city. The property damage was $1O,-

country.

for IS hours. The wind veored in
every direction and reached a maxi
mum velocity that was estimated at
1876 miles an hour.
Seven Thousand BUILDINGS were
blown down and the property loss,
valued at 100000, as we'll as the

tween the hours of 7 and p. m. The

tum on the charge OF conspiracy to
