One insane,
The Other DEAD
Strange Fatality Attends Texas isit-
ors on Reaching
Columbus.

Jackson, Miss, Dec. he. n. Butts,
of Nevada, Texas, and Jesse Weaver,
his friend, visited friends and relatives
in Columbus, Miss, last week. Butts
stopped with his brother, ]. A Butts,
a well-to-do citizen who lives on the
Pinkeyville road, near Ethelville, sew
eral days. Butts suddenly disap-
peared, and when he was located he
was violently insane and it was be-
lieved that it would be necessary to
remove him to the state insane asy-
became deathly i'll few hours after
his arrival and died within a few
hours. Butts was taken back to his
Texas home a maniac, and Weaver
went back a corpse, in the baggage
car ahead.
The fate which overlook the two
friends is without precedent 1t was
while he was on his way to Columbus
that Butts showed evidence of mental
ALTERATION which manifested itself the
following day. He acted suspiciously,
and finally left the city, going north
on the Mobile and Ohio railroad. His
relatives learned that he had boarded
the train, and had him apprehended
at Tupelo, Miss, where he was taken
in charge.
According to reports that have
reached this city, Butts died of natur-
al causes, in Columbus.

WRECK IN LOCAL YARDS HAS TO
BE GUARDED BY OFFICERS
ALL NIGHT.
CAR LOAD OF LAGER OPENS
A Number OF Citizens Are Said To
Have Spent The Night At The
Wreck Watching The Beer And
Tasting II In Imagination.

A carload of Moerlein beer, New
Orleans. bound, left the tracks in the
yards of the n o. & N. E. railroad
yards yesterday evening about six
o'clock and plunged headlong into
Gordon creek, where it remained last
night and today guarded by officers,
and thirstily viewed by citizens.
A number of cars were derailed, but
only the carload Of what made Mil
waukee and other points famous and
one other car went down the embank-
ment. The wreck was cleared in a
few hours and traffic resumed. The
derailment was caused by a spreading
rail not far from the Main street
crossing, and the cars that left the
tracks were about half way between
the engine and caboose, which prob
ably accounts for absence of accident
to any of the crew.
A carload of keg beer, visible to
the inhabitants of this community, is
novel sight and is attracting atten-
tion commensurate with the newnes
of the occasion. Doubtless there are
those among the fond onlookers, who
have seen and consumed this much
beer at different times. but it was not
at least seen all at once in Hatties-
burg. The sight was SO interesting
and enticing to some that they depu-
tized themselves to help keep vigil
over, the desirables, with the hope
perhaps that one of the kegs would
become animated and roll around the
corner conveniently, as we sometimes
see in moving pictures-but nary a
keg has budged as yet.
If Gordon creek had been up and
on one of its familiar rampages. the
kegs would have been on their way
to the river-with poor prospects of
reaching it. No matter how swollen
might have been the stream few kegs
would have reached the bridge at the
Joot of Main street and those that did
could never run the blockade at that
point, which is now a solid jam OF
logs, cans and, goodness knows what
not, which has been long accumulat-
ing
But one cause can be attributed to
the antics of the car of beer, and that
is the thirst of Hattiesburg has tray
eled far and the beer figured warmer
reception here than at its destination.
The strong arm of the law alone pre-
vented the manifestations of apprecia-
tion on the part of large would-be
reception committee.

People who give money as holiday

has taxed the capacity of the mint
and the product will find its way into
the homes of the poverty-stricken and
the wealthy alike. Almost every de-
nomination will play its part, from
shining gold pieces nesting in beauti-

small purchasing power, will none the

as to conditions in Hattiesburg, say
ing it was his purpose to return here
at the first opportunity. Mr.. Scott
talks Interestingly of the aggressive
work being done by the promoters
who are bringing thousands of people
into Florida. He asserts that except
in the matter of tropical fruits, Mis-
sissippi has everything in its favor
when compared with Florida. The
growth of Hattiesburg has been mar
velous since 1904, and though an oc-
casional visitor here since that time,
the city and section show improve
ments on every such occasion, and by
wide comparison is to his mind the
most desirable city in which to locate
that he knows of anywhere.
Hattiesburg has a welcome for all
who come, and especially for those
who with joy return to their first love
as Mr.. Scott has done.
