The Davidson Co. of this city will

the thriving little city of Laurel, and
as soon as a substantial building can

been entirely completed. They pur-
chased a lot 33 feet front and have
the option of purchasing an addition

SIX PASSENGERS
SLIGHTLY HURT

PASSENGER TRAINS STRIKES A
LOOSE FREIGHT CAR NEAR
BRooKHAvEN.
ALL INJURIES Are THRILLING
Engineer Wilkins So Nearly Stops
Train That Not a Wheel Left the
Track and Traffic Was Delayed only
One Hour.
ALL INJURIES Are THRILLING

Six passengers were injured, one,
j. l.. Terry, of Sontag, rather painful
ly so, and Engineer wilkins
was also painfully bruised in
wreck on the Mississippi
Central today, when the train
which leaves here at six o'clock in
the morning struck a wild freight car
on the main line near Brookhaven.
The accident was unavoidable, as the
freight car, which had broken loose
from train ahead. was not sighted
by Engineer wilkins in time to pre-
vent the collision. However, the engi-
neer succeeded in bringing his train
so nearly TO a stop, that not a wheel
left the track. and traffic was delayed
only about one hour.
The injuries to the passengers are
all pronounced trifling with the ex-
ception of Mr.. Terry, who was bruis-
ed about the head and shoulders. En-
gineer wilkins back was bruised and
wrenched by the jar.
The property damage will not be
considerable.

WILL SORSBY SAID
To Be DESPERATE

Jackson, Miss, Sept. 2.-Apropos
of the plan for the escape of w. A..
Sorsby. assassin of Postoffice Inspec-
tor Chas. Fitzgerald, thwarted by the
officials at the Rankin convict farm
the other day, 1t is learned that the
celebrated convict has been in a des-
perate frame of mind since the failure
of his relatives to secure a quashing
of the indictment pending against him
in the Federal court on the charge OF
embezzling funds from the postoffce
at Clinton. 1t was the discovery Of
this embezzlement that provoked him
to kill Inspector Fitzgerald.
Sorsby doubtless felt that in event
of escape, little or no effort would be
made by the state authorities to cap
ture him. but, with the Federal indict-
ment still pending, 1t would not be so
easy to get away from the secret SER
vice agents of Uncle Sam.

ing the hide in five or six separate
places for as much as two inches in
one spot.
This hasty treatment on the part
of Lee is alleged to have enraged
Sandy and caused him to desire ven
geance. He therefore secured his
gun" known in polite society as a
pistol or revolver, and went in search
of Lee. Just at that unfortunate
moment the anatomy of Alonzo pro-
truded itself before the enraged Wis
ion of water, and Sandy, having heard
that blood was thicker than water,
proceeded to shed some with the re-
suits above indicated.
The fracas occurred on Seventh and
Memphis streets, and the police soon
reached the scene, arresting Sandy
and Lee and turning them over to the
county officers.

OCEAN STEAMER
IN PASCAGOULA
Notable Improvements in Gulf Coast
Harbors Proven.

The growing Importance of the deep
water harbors on the Mississippi coast
and the notable improvements recent
ly made in their facilities, is striking
ly shown by a statement from Moss
Point that the British steamer Vimei-
ra passed up the Pascagoula river to
that point, took aboard a cargo OF
crossties, and passed down again in
safety.
This is the first time that large
ocean-going steamer, drawing more
than eighteen feet of water, has ever
passed up the river as far as Moss
Point. and it shows the practical value
of the improvement work being done
on the Pascagoula harbor. Hereto
fore steamers have loaded at the
mouth of the river or from barGes
outside the bar.
