Brutal Murder at Nincs1e ester

Winchester, Va, Oct. 21.-George
O. Crisman, a rural mail carrier, was
killed in the presence of his wife and
son by Morrison H. Miller three miles
from Winchester on Friday morning.
Fearing violence from the people of
the neighborhood Miller rode horse
back to this place and gave himself
up.
Crisman had gone to a neighbors
to drive some of his chickens home,
being accompanied by his wife and
son. He and Miller had not been
speaking for months on account of
an old quarrel, and when Crisman
started to chase his chicken off Mil
ler's land, upon which they had gone
off the road, Miller ordered him to
leave, at the same time going to his
house nearby and procuring a shot
gun, which he fired at close range
while Crisman's back was turned.
Crisman died on the spot.
Crisman, who was thirty-three
years old, leaves a widow and two
small children, and Miller has a wife
and six children.
Crisman was son of Jacob Girls
man, a confederate soldier, who is
credited by many as being the man
who captured Sir Percy Wyndham,
an Englishman in the Federal army,
during the Civil War, concerning
which there was heated controver-
sy recently in the North and South.

tiful blue travelling suit, hat and

win and DR.. E. w. Miller.

HONOR MEMORY OF
GENERAL GEORGE

Jackson, Miss, oct. 20.-"George
Day" was observed for the first time
by the public schools throughout
Mississippi today, when special ex-
ercises were held by the pupils in
honor of the memory of the late
General James 2. George, who was
for many years one of the foremost
figures in public life in this state.
Following distinguished services in
the civil war, in which was several
times wounded and captured, Gener-
al George served the State of Miss
issippi as chief justice and as United
States senator, filling the last-named
office until his death in 1897. To
the public at large he is best remem
bered as the dominant figure in the
constitutional convention of 1890
that devised a legal method of elm
inatign the negro from politics and
maintaining white supremacy in
Mississippi.

Principals in Encounter are Sum-

Court day was one of unusual qui-
ct, no arrests being made for drunk
eness despite the predictions of turb-
ulency ventured by those fearful OF
consequences when residents of the
county gathered in Johnson street.
In Dore's wagon yard, it is true, John
Williamson, negro who several
months ago figured in fracas with
Officer Forsythe, disturbed the 9th
erwise busy tranquility of the day by
using unbecoming language to a
white man. AS the offended Caucas-
ian was his father, Shorty Tanks
ley does not deny that he was the
author of certain injuries to William
sons head, and, as such, will have
to answer in police court this morn

his wife had presented him with a
pair of twins, the second set to be
thirty years old, committed suicide
by swallowing carbolic acid yesterday
Hay had been out of work for some
time, and was presumably despond-

be compelled to feed two additional

born two days ago, and the mothers

WILSON RESIGNS IS
WASHINGTON REPORT
Rumored About the Capital
That He VIII Leave PreSi-
dent Taft's Cabinet
CHANGE SET FOR NOV. IS
Ex-Representative Scott Regarded
as Probable Successor of
Department Official

Washington, D. c., Oct. 19.-Sec-
retary of Agriculture Wilson has sub
mitted his resignation to President
Taft, to take effect November Is, or
as soon thereafter as the President
may elect, according to a report
from an apparently reliable source
which is current in Washington to-
day. 1t is said that Secretary Will
sons letter to President Taft, refer
ring to his record-breaking term OF
service in the cabinets of three pres
idents and expressing a desire to be
relieved from duty in order that he
might retire to private life, together
with President Taft's reply were to
be given out a few days after Mr..
Taft's return to Washington. The
lengthening of the Presidents tour
may, however, according to the re-
port, cause a temporary postpone
ment of the formal announcement
Scott May be Successor.
1t is said that President Taft has
not yet reached a decision as to Sec
retary Wilson's successor, but that
the chances are he will appoint form
er Representative Scott of Kansas,
who has been frequently mentioned
for the place. There is no doubt
that the appointment of Mr.. Scott
to the portfolio of Agriculture would
be exceedingly popular at the Capt.
tol. Mr.. Scott, who was chairman
of the House committee on agricul-
ture, was a victim of the Insurgency
that swept the democrats into con-
troll of the lower branch last fall.
Secretary Wilson is now in Chi
cago, where he made speech yes
teyday to the International Brewers
Congress.

MEET Death IN Mine
BY POWDER EXPLOSION
Nine Men Killed and Others In
jured by Blast at Harrisburg

Harrisburg, ILL.,, October 23.-Nine
men were killed, ten gravely wound
I'd and carried up by rescuers, and
fifteen more were imprisoned by
cave-in as a result of an explosion of
a keg of powder which ignited black
damp today in O'Gara mine No. 8,
mile south of here. That more
lives were not lost was due to the
fact that the shift was changing when
the explosion occurred.
Two men were instantly killed,
and seven others sent to- the surface,
died within an hour. The detonation
of the explosion warned the town that
an accident had occurred, and the
fears of the wives and children of
the miners were confirmed when they
saw two ambulances rushed toward
the mine, followed in few minutes
by an automobile containing physi-
clans and nurses.

WILSON ANGRY AT
RESIGNATION REPORT

Washington, Oct. 20.-Branding as
false the report that he had submit
ed L;2 resignation to the President,
Secretary CT Agriculture Wilson, who
returned to Washin gton from Chica-
go late yesterday afternoon, declared
that lie not only will not resign, but
probably will take the stump in sup
pert Of the administration in the
presidential campaign, and that so
far as he is aware he never was clos
er to President Taft than he is to-
day. He was very much wrought up
over the report.
The secretary was particularly an
cry over the portion of the report
which said he had written to Presi-
dent Taft, directing attention to the
fact that he has succeeded in his
ambition of breaking all records for
continuous esrvice in the cabinet,
and therefore, was ready to retire
to private life.

II don't know what l shall do"

So sudden and the shock is so great

not believe that he is guilty. l
would rather so to my grave than
see my son guilty of such a crime
Il is too terrible. He cannot have
done il.
If he is not guilty 1 don't want
him punished. l have employed a
lawyer for him. But if my son is
guilty, life will not be worth living
for me.
Il shall do all l can to help my son
and God knows l want him to be in
nocent and free. But the law must
TAKE It's COulSe. Cdu ptilSFG tidt
it is real 1t seems like a horrible
Dream
Earl Richeson, a brother of the ac-
cused clergyman, said:
''This terrible trouble has come so
suddenly on us that we have had no
time to realize it. We cannot con-
ceive of the story as it has been re-
lated to US being true.
my brother Clarence could not
have done this thing. 1t is too ter
rible to believe. We all feel that he
is innocent 1t is entirely unlike any
thing that he would do. 1t is enough
to unbalance our minds"
