THAYER BATTLED
HARD FOR LIFE
Mrs. Thomas Potter, Jr., Tells of
Financier's Battle for
His Life
NEW Work.


Thomas Potter, Jr., OF Philadelphia,
gives the following account OF the
wreck;
Very few of the passengers on the
Titanic believed that the big ship was
seriously hurt after the call to enter
first boats to leave the vessels side
were hardly filed. There were only
about ten others in the boat in which
was seated. which was the first to
be lowered away.
] saw Colonel and Mrs. Astor at
the rail as we rowed away and they
declined to be taken off, claiming that
il was safer on the big liner than in
the cockleShells amidst the floating
ice.
They simply would not believe that
there was any danger. At least forty
more persons could have been &C
commodated in our boat if they had
only listened to the ships officers.
My son. Wilson, saw Richard NJ.
Williams, from Germantown. who
was the last to be saved from aboard
the Titanic. Williams told him that
he was in the stern of the liner when
she went down. and that the big liner
just parted in the middle.
Buffeted about In the ice, he was
finally able to get aboard one Of the
boats and was picked up by one Of
the boats about two hours later. My
son also saw John b. Thayer, Jr.,
WHO jumped overheard the H.
tanic with his father, and both man.
aged to reach a raft.
The raft was upset. however. both
men being dumped into the water.
The elder Thayer was never seen
again, but the younger man was
picked up by one Of the boats and
was with us on the Carpathia.

HYDE Wants to be Dissected.

Anderson, March 9.-Samuel n.
Hyde, the young white man who kill
ed his wife and her father on the
night of July 1S, last, and who has
been convicted of murder, and is now
in the county Jail waiting to be SEN
fenced to be electrocuted, wants to
assign his body, after electrocutlon,
to a medical college or to some per-
sons who will use it N furtGering the
profession of surgery. Hyde sent for
g. newspaper man to-day and made
this statement. He says that he is
prepared to execute any paper that
nay be legally necessary, so that the
person or college to which the body
is decided or assigned will have no
trouble n getting it after the execu-
ticn. He prefers that his body go
to medical college, because he says
he believes it will accomplish more
good for the public generally. Should
a college fail to make application to
him, then Hyde wants his body to go
to some surgeons who will dissect it
with a view of increasing surgical
knowledge. He does not want any
pay for the body. 1t is to be gift.
Some time ago Hyde expressed
himself as preferring hanging to elec-
trocution. This afternoon he stated
that electrocution suits him all right,
and that he is willing to be taken to
the chair at any time to expiate his
crime. He has earnestly repented,
and seems to be eager for the end to
come.

Murderer Given Ten Years.

Calhoun, Ca, March 1.-THE next
ten years of his life, if he should
live so long, will be spent by Andrew
King, aged rs, farmer of this coun-
ty, on the county chain gang or at
the State prison farm, for killing his
son-in-law, Robert Keel, several
months ago.
According to the evidence intro
.duced in the trial King killed Keel
while the latter was at work at a
sorghum mill, by stabbing him in the
back. King was arrested and placed
in Jail, but before the time set for
his trial escaped and was at large for
several weeks When he was recap
tured he was released under bond,
but later was re-arrested on an in
dictment charging him with attempt
ing to murder the little child of the
son-in-law whom he had slain.
1t was shown that King had kick
ed the child into the fire, declaring
he intended to kill the entire Keel
family When arraigned the presid-
ing Judge agreed to give the defend
ant a sentence of only ten years on
the chain gang if he would plead gull
ty to the crimes charged. This the
aged man did and will begin serving
this week. On account of his age,
friends of King are seeking to have
him sent to the prison farm instead
of the chain gang.

ONE KILLED, THREE WOUNDED.
Result of What Appears General
Fight at Windsor.

Aiken, March 10.-As the result OF
a general fight at Windsor Saturday
night, with officers of the law on one
side and a crowd Of drunken men on
the other. one man was shot dead
and three others wounded. The fol-
lowing are those shot: Son Cush-
man, dead; Alex Num-, shot through
the arm; George Weatherford, shot
through the leg; Sweet Cushman,
shot through the hand.
Arrested as participants, Officers
J. C. Cleckley and L. B. Johnson are
in the Aiken Jail, and John Dubose,
Smiley Randall and Jett Atkinson
are in the Windsor guard house.
Windsor has been incorporated for
something like year and fearless
officer, Mr.. J. c. Cleckley, was named
as chief, and for some time it has
been rumored that one element in
tended to run the officers away. Last
night they endeavored, it seems, to
carry their plans into execution. with
the above result.
Alleged Details of Affair.
The story of the fight, as gathered
to-day, is about as follows:
There was considerable crowd of
the lawless element in the town all
day yesterday and there was consid-
erable drinking and about s o'clock
they gathered about the butcher shop
of Jett Atkinson. There were at least
five men inside the shop when pis-
tol shot was heard and Chief Cleck-
ley ran inside to find out who fired
the gun. AS he entered the door he
saw something splash in the water
bucket and thought the weapon had
been thrown in the water. He made
an effort to find the weapon, but dis
covered nothing. He demanded who
fired the shot, but received no ansW-
er, and went and looked in the water
bucket, but could find nothing. In
the meantime, it is said, the proprie-
tor of the store, Jett Atkinson, made
a move as if to get some weapon, was
arrested by the officer and the others
wanted to interfere.
Officer Covered with Guns.
The officer placed the whole crowd
under arrest and took hold of Adkin-
son, intending to place him in the
lookup. His sons declared, it is said,
that the officer would never lock their
father up, but Cleckley took him out
of the door. Once outside he stepped
into a crowd of men VINO literally
covered him and pistol flashed near
Cleckley. The shooting then became
general and no one will ever know
how many shots were fired. The
crowd and the officers emptied their
guns and when quiet was restored
those mentioned above were found to
have been shot. Officer Johnson
came to the assistance of his chief
in the fight and he also took part in
the shooting.
Fought by Dim Light.
1t is not known who fired the shots
that wounded the men, as the fight
took place in the dark except for a
dim street lamp. Besides the free
use of pistols, knives were also in
use. Officer Cleckley has two cuts in
his coat, but fortunately he was not
injured He also has bruise on
the forehead, just above the nose.
All the parties concerned are white
men. Mr.. Cleckley came to Aiken on
the early morning train and Mr..
Johnson came through in an auto this
morning. Coroner Johnson went to
Windsor early this morning to hold
an inquest over the remains of Son"
Cushman.

AN UNPRECEDENTED RAIN

The rain Of last night was among
the heaviest that ever fell in Brazos
county in a single night. The govern
ment rain guage, kept by Mrs. Julie
Wipprecht, registered fall Of 1893
inches, which is almost unprecedented
in the history OF the county.
The store Of the Edge Dry Goods
Company was flooded with water, re-
sulting in heavy damages. the greatest
loss occurring in the dress goods and
silk departments.
Mr.. ]. L. Edge stated to an Eagle
reporter today that he could not state
exactly the extent of the firms losses
but thought from the hasty examina'
tion that had been made that it would
run to between $4,000 and $4,000.
Reports from the country indicated
that the farms were badly damaged
from washing.
All the creeks Of the county over
flowed their banks and many farms
along Wixon and Carter's creeks were
covered with water.
The same is true of Thompson ant

meeting, the same as they did in 1898
