William Hammond, a wealthy con
tractor of Bellaire. Ohio, is lowering
between life and death at the Reyn-
Odds Memorial hospital at Glendale
and the Belmont county authorities
are searching for a man named
Black. who is alleged to have made
a murderous attack on Hammond
with an axe yesterday morning. From
information secured IL seems as
thought Black titled a farm owned by
Hammond in the southern section OF
Belmont county and the men had
some misunderstanding. Yesterday
morning Hammond went to Black and
ordered him to leave the farm. Both
men used some hot words and IL IL
alleged that Black secured an axe
and struck Hammond several times
on the head, rendering him uncon-
scious.
The Bellaire police stated this
morning that they understood that
Black had been arrested near Pipe
creek by a constable but this report
could not be confirmed. DIR. b. T..
Bone. of Moundville. who operated on
Hammond. states that the man is in
very serious condition. Hammond
is prominent citizen OF Bellaire and

AUTOMOBILE IN ACCIDENT
Aberdeen Man Injured When Auto
and Car Meet Broadway-Ac-
cdent Was Unavoidable

While crossing Broadway on Mar
ket street, e. T.. Miller of this city.
an employe of the F. G. Foster com
pany of Hoquiam, was struck by the
Broadway-B street car, his auto bad
ly damaged and himself painfully, yet
not seriously injured. The auto was
skidded into the curbing, one wheel
smashed and Miller thrown to the
pavement One window of the car was
broken, and the cars fender damaged.
According to a statement made af-
ter the accident by Miller, he was
driving on Market with the company's s
auto The dense fog prevented him
from securing a clear view of the
track The car, at that time was
just starting up the hill, and while
the motorman saw the auto. he could
not stop his car in time to prevent
the accident.
Miller was bleeding freely from a
scalp wound when picked up. He
was not seriously injured. 1t seems,
according to the statements from the
car crew as well as from Mr.. Miller,
that no one was to blame for the ac-
cident.

SAILORS UNION
MOURNS DEATH
Fred Leishman, Drowned in
Bay, Laid to Rest
Yesterday

The funeral of Fred Leishman, for.
mer sailor, and still a member of the
Sailors Union here, was buried with
due honors by pembers Of the local
organization fro.sA the Whiteside I'm.
dertaking parlors yesterday afternoon
The body was laid to rest in Fern
Hill cemetery.
Leishman met his death, evidently,
Wednesday evening about eight
o'clock while he was returning from
hunting trip in the lower bay. His
absence was reported the following
morning but it was not until Sunday
that his body was found lying on a
small mud mound in the inner bay.
1t is the supposition that he was sail
ing under a moderate wind, when
suddenly gust of wind struck the
frail craft and overturned 1t.
Leishman was we'll known in Aber-
deem. Only few days before he left
for the lower bay he told a number
of his friends that he was going to
Los Angeles for a short trip. He show
ed them check for 5000. He was a
man of good habits and was a gen.
eral favorite among the sailors. AZ
ter quitting the deep-sea life, he Sc
cured employment on the north jetty,
and was one of the men injured sew
eral months ago when the jetty en-
gine crashed through the trestle.
Leishman broke his leg in the acci-
dent
