FOX DIVORCE CASE CAUSES
MANY SENSATIONS.
The Court Finds Time to Rebukc
Husband Over Treatment OF
Wife.

Sensation after sensation followed
one after another in the trial of the
two actions involving the marriage
relations Of Virgil Fox and his wife,
Margaret Fox. One of the actions
was a petition for habeas corpus re-
quiring Mrs. Fox to produce the 2
year-old child, and the other was a
suit for divorce filed by Virgil Fox.
In answer to the writ of habeaa
corpus. Mrs. Fox appeared in court
with the little girl and surrendered
the child. whom her husband al
legged was leading life OF shame
through the underworld of Tulsa.
The wife was relieved Of the cus-
tody of the child, and the girl was
given to the husband with the agree
ment that he should find some home
for II. The mother was given per-
mission to visit the baby three times a
week. Mrs. Fox did not protest
against this action.
Then the divorce suit was started.
In the original petition Fox alleged
that his wife had left him without
provocation and had turned TO the
bright lights of the underworld. This
Mrs. Fox refuted when she testified
that her husband had cruelty beaten
her when she was in a delicate ply
steal condition. This evidence was
affirmed by other witnesses. During
the course OF the trial the court took
occasion TO deliver a scathing lecture
to the husband in his treatment Of
his wife.

DAVENPORT. Okla, Oct. 26.--
Those who paid pretty snug sums to
have test oil wells drilled In this
and other towns Of Lincoln county,
are shaking their heads for the rea.
son that the drlllers always took an
excuse to stop drilling when about
500 feet down. 1t Is boldly sur
missed and hlnted that the oilers
stopped drilling as soon as they
smelled oil or gas, and that the
Standard Oil company paid them for
stopping work."

The most brutal and cowardly MUIR
der that has ever happened in this
city was when q. T. Terry, employed
as night Waterman to look after the
property of several West End citi-
zens, last Friday might shot and
killed Lawson Burford, chauffeur
for Mr. W. r. Cole The shooting
occurred in the basement Of the Cole
residence, 2122 West End avenue,
three shots being fired
Terry was bound over to the Crimi-
nal Court Saturday morning by Judge
Baker on q charge of murder. Through
his attorney, Mr.. r. A. Price,
Terry states that what he did was in
the protection of Mr.. Coles property
and self-defense.
Miss Frances Moore, a housemaid
at the Cole residence, stated that she
heard Burford tell Terry several
times that he was not robber and
that he drove the car for Mr.. Cole
From the girls statement Terry want
ed Burford to open several doors and
also the garage to prove that he had
access to the house. During the ar
| gument tho girl says Terry kept say
ing that he would shoot Burford in
minute if he didn't do what he said
She said one shot was fired at Bur
ford as the men were in the base
ment with the lights on and two 9th
ers were fired as the chauffeur ran W
the stairs.
Mrs. Cole when seen stated that
Burford had been working for them
for a month and that he came with

ting tribute to one of Tennessee's no
blest sons. The concourse of citizens
who entered so heartily into the spir-

esteem in which the honoTed guests
are held. The spacious Odd Fellows
Auditorium was decked in brilliant
array, the national colors, red, white
and blue, predominating. From the
ceiling were suspended massive folds
Of bunting interviewer with flags, from

&c into a magnificent scene of beauty.

splendid references. She said she and
the governess and little hoy were in
the upper room and that DR.. Owen
Wilson was called, Burford being dead
when the doctor arrived.
Terry is 81 years of age. He was
arrested shortly after the killing by
Patrolmen Bryant, Heekin, Kiger and
Friel, who were sent out after Terry
had telephoned to the station of the
occurrence.
There seems to have been no provo
cation at ali for the shooting, but
simply an act of a blood-thirsty man,
intent on doing murder. Terry had
no right to shoot Burford. His duty
was to watch and not to kill, and this
young man certainly did not act as
a burglar would act 1t is said that
Terry knew Burford well and had ev-
cry reason in the world to know that
he worked for Mr.. Cole. The fact that
he had been there month and that
Terry was Waterman should have
brought the two men in contact with
each other at some time.
Young Burford was an excellent
young man, having been reared at the
home of the late Col. Matt. Gardner,
where Burford's father worked for
many years. Lawson was graduate
of the Commercial Department of
Walden University and was preparing
to enter Howard University to com
plete his education. His father was
for several years superintendent OF
the large estate of Col. Gardner and
was a trustworthy servant. Young
Burford bore the best reputation, and
his friends, white as well as black
are determined that Terry shall be
punished to the full extent Of the law

ness of the rich damask that covered
the tables, had their beauty enhanced
by the light from red tapers in Colo
NAL silver candlesticks.
In spite Of the fact that the decoTa-
tons just described leave nothing to
ne desired, the climax in art and
beauty were reached in the superb ar
rangement, of the special table pre-
pared for the honored guests and par
ty, which was placed on an elevation
in the west end of the hall. The back
ground of flowers and palms forming
a niche of exquisite beauty served to
tighten the hearts and inspire the
hopes of all who witnessed it.
Promptly at o'clock the guests, led
by Mr.. and Mrs. Napier, entered the
banquet hall to the strains of harmo-
NOUS music played by the accom-
Dlished Prof N w. Ryder. The guests
we're received by the honoree and the
reception committee.
Immediately after the grand march,
Bishop Evans Tyree invoked divine
blessings upon the occasion, after
which the evenings program was be-
gun, interspersed with music by the
celebrated Fisk Quartet composed OF
Messrs. Work. Ryder, Olden and OLA

finest coffee-colored Aeolian paper in
brown ink. On the front cover framed
with national colors was an excellent
likeness of the .honoree. The souvenir
contained the program, the menu and
the names of the committees.
The elaborate menu, including many
entrees, was accentuated by the pol
ished way in which it was served by
competent caterers. Places we're
found at the table by attractive place
cards deliberately embossed with the
date of the occasion and a miniature
of the honoree. The menu was served
in six courses, each of which was COM
plete in itself. The ices constituted

A catastrophe, the most appalling
in the annals of Nashville, so far as
sudden death is concerned, fell upon
the city Wednesday shortly before the
noon hour, when over forty men were
caught beneath falling wall in the
ruins of the fire of March 6, and the
lives of one white man and seventeen
black men were snuffed out and a doz-
en- injured more or less seriously.
The dead and injured were employed
in salvage work inside the ]. H. Fall
and Sol Frankland buildings, on Third
avenue, North, near the Public Square.
Suddenly, without warning, and while
the men were going about their work
without a thought of the fate which
was soon to overtake them, the dlvl-
sion wall began to sway under the
force Of d strong wind, and in a mo-
ment the bricks began to topple from
the wall. the first bricks falling in
one direction and the bulge turning
part of the wall into the other open
space, with mighty sound the mass
of brick was dumped upon the heads
Of the unsuspecting workmen.
No time was there given to get to
the entrances a half-hundred feet
away. All attempted this, but were
caught and buried before they had
covered but fraction of the distance.
That all did not meet sudden death
beneath the tons and tons of brick
and mortar was due to a kindly inter
position of Providence in behalf of
some of the men. Only by the merest
chance we're the men so spared placed
in such a position that either chance
timbers left lying in disorder were so
arranged that they protected the men
beneath from the weight above, or in
few cases tho bricks themselves, in
falling, so fashioned Themselves as to
make a pocket which served to
break the force Of the weight above,
and gave small breathing space to
the imprisoned men.
Hardly had the bricks settled and
the cloud of dust arisen before strong
hands of brave men were at work to
save the lives of the men known to be
inside. The color of the skin of the
unfortunate men made no difference
tc the rescue party. 1t was enough
to know that human beings were probs-
bly, in living grave. Willing hands
did all possible, and saved a number
Of lives which otherwise must have
! teen sacrificed.
In the ears of those who were in
side the buildings the cries of the i'm
prisoned men were falling, coming
from under heaps of brick and wreck
age beneath their feet. The pitiful
calls for help were sufficient to move
strong men to tears or incite them to
more feverish haste in the work of
rescue. For four hours these cries
could be heard, and then they died
away, as the unfortunate men sue
cumbed TO the impossible conditions
which surrounded them. Many of the
dead men sent their last message to
the outside world from beneath tons
of brick and mortar, and waited in
vain for the help that could not be
brought to them in time.
