and thrown for some distance. It
is said that he sustained a compound
fracture of one leg and a. fracture of
the skull. Two physicians, who were
called, placed the youth in an automo-
bile and rushed him to the sanatorium
at Randolph.
The accident happened during the re-
cess of the school. and quite party
of the children started for a place where
cider was being made. In order to reach
the place, the track had to be crossed.

and tried to get young Ellis to wait

STRIKE BREAKERS REMOVED.
Transported From MccOmb City on De-
mand of the People.

McComb City, Oct. With the en-
forced departure late yesterday Of the
last Of the strike breakers brought here
by the Illinpis Central railroad came
the first real assurance of the restora-
tion of peace after "a hours of excite
ment and spasmodic rioting The peo-
pie of McComb City demanded that the
strike breakers, be removed from their
community and the 1872 men were placed
aboard heavily guarded special train
and hurried to New Orleans. Sixty sol
diers armed with ball cartridge and with
orders to "shoot to kill" if necessary,
accompanied the special train south as
far as Magnolia. This action by the
military authorities probably prevented
another pitched battle.
Three companies of Mississippi Ma
tional Guard patrolled the streets last
night A coroner's inquest was held late
last night over the body Of Lem Haley,
the aged striker, who was shot and
killed here Tuesday night and an open

Washington county court, to-day direct
ed the foreman of the jury in the case
