gro who escaped from Jail at Bruins
wick a year ago, while under death
sentence, and who has just been To-
Gated in Florida.
Sheriff Overstreet was a picturesque
character, a typical Georgia sheriff Of
the real cracker" type, tall, powerful,
raw-boned, sandy-haired, with steely
blue eyes as level as if they were
looking along a gun barrel He told
in most graphic style of the murder OF
which Sam Brown was convicted
More than year ago he shot a white
man, Ben Douglas Douglas had gone
to negro house on his farm to re-
monstrate with some of his tenants
about something. Sam Brown came to
the window while Douglas was in 4
row with some of the negro women,
and shot him dead with an automatic
pistol He kept on firing blindly and
killed his own mother, presumably by
accident. Then he went in and fired
the rest of the bullets into Douglas
body, pressing the muzzle againstthe
mans shirt so hard that the imprint
was left.

The Struggle
o for Arthur

1t dawned on Miss Violet Mills in a
surge of regret that there were disad-
vantages connected with being 16
years old.
For example, if one were displeased
with a friend one could not make up
a face and say "Smarty! You think
you're smart, don't your" And no
other method of procedure really
seemed to fit the present case.
There was not a particle of doubt
that Elsie Wangness had deliberately
set out to trap Arthur. He had come
to visit in the Mills home, displaying
the full glory of his gray summer suit,
heliotrope silk socks and tie, and with
a businesslike assortment of golf
clubs and tennis rackets and accom-
panied by Speckle. the sportiest look
ing Boston bullpup that ever was seen
on that street Since Arthur was tall
and architecturally designed after the
pattern of the young man who makes
modern clothes advertisements things
of beauty, it is easily seen that there
was nothing for any girl in the neigh
borhood to do but fall desperately in
love with him.
After Arthurs arrival there began
perfect surge of girls toward the
Mills residence. 1t appeared that they
all loved Violet half to death and were
sitting up nights planning entertain
ments for her to show their devotion
entertainments to which she was re-
quested to bring along your brother
John-and his guest"
But Elsie Wangness was the most
devoted of them all, for she took to
bringing over her fancy work and sit
ting on the porch with her dear friend
Violet. OF course, she could not help 1t
if she was there when John and Ar
thur happened to be there also.

Rumors that the Austrian amba ssa
dor, Baron HengelmuIler, will not long

city have been revived and there is
every reason to believe that the dean of
the Diplomatic Corps in Washington

States and return to his own country,
where further honors, it is expected,
will be rendered him by his government.
Baron Hengelmuller came to Wash

Mayor des Plaches, was recalled. Baron

Baron Hengelmuller Is sixty-two years
OF age, and was born in Budapest, Hun

the diplomatic corps and has served

SUIT TO TEST RIGHT
TO ISSUE PASSES
Attorney General Contests
Privilege to Give Free Rides
to Bus Line Employees.

Attorney General Wickersham filed
suit in the Commerce Court today to
test the right OF railroads to issue
passes to the employees OF bus lines
operating entirely within the city, and
also to employees OF steamship lines
not engaged in interstate commerce.
The title of the suit is George w.
Wickersham. Attorney General. versus
Erie Railroad Company and the Jersey
Central Railroad Company"
The ATTORNEY General contends that
interstate carriers under the anti-pass
law have no right TO issue passes to the
employees of other transportation lines
which are not engaged in interstate
commerce. The law specifically pro-
vides that interstate carriers NAV ex-
change pases for each others employees
or officers. Wickersham contends that
employees of such companies as bus lines
and steamship companies are in the
same status as any private individual.
and should not be accorded passes

 Story of the Duel.
 T. K. Jones, a member of the city detective force, in company with J. D. Cheek of Pine Bluff, a special agent of the Cotton Belt Railway, was on East Markham street and on East Second street just prior to the beginning of he trouble between Ser geant Campbell and Constable Jones.
 TT K. Jones and Cheek, in the line of their duties, were making some Investigations which called them into Loucheim's saloon. While there, it is said, they were joined by Cor stable Jones, who, 1t is stated. was considerably under the influence of liquor at that hour 11:30 p. m.
 T. K. Jones would not be inter- viewed. but stated in effect, that about 1:15 this morning, they-he and Cheek-were standing on the corner of Markham and Cumberland streets, and Constable Jones came up. While standing there, Sergeant Campbell and Patrolman Burns walked up. Of ficer Burns is the patrolman on that beat and Sergeant Campbell was mak- ing his rounds

 Special Officer J. D. Cheek. in the Service of the Cotton Belt Railway Company, received a painful wound la inc hand, and is now under the et fleets of an opiate administered by physicians at the city hospital
 Eye witnesses to the affair were City Detective T. K Jones and J. E. Cheek, who were endeavoring to lo- cate certain criminal, and Patrol man Burns. who was in company with Sergeant Campbell
 Sergeant Campbell was rushed to the St. Vincent's Infirmary shortly after the affray, where he was op- erated upon, being on the operating table from 220 to APO o'clock. It was discovered that the bullet going into his abdomen had penetrated his kidney, making 1t. as thought at that time. impossible for him to live but a few hours. However, reports from the infirmardy this afternoon were to the effect that his condition was slightly improved and that he was a little better than when he was taken from the operating table.
 So serious was the condition of Sergeant Campbell that he was not allowed to talk, but it is said that he made the following statement to Chief of Police Fred Cogswell shorty after the occurrence:
