L. N. WATSON INJURED IN
ACCIDENTAL AT NEW DOCKS
Bale Of Cotton Fell on Him Yesterday
Morning.

L. N. Watson, for many years en-
gagged in the lumber forwarding bus
mess in this city, but for the past
few months with Strachan & Co.. at
the new docks, was the victim of a
serious and painful ac ident yester-
day morning.
Mr. Watson was at work at the
docks while a force of laborers was
unloading box car loaded with cot
ton. 1t seems that the car had been
loaded to its full capacity and when
the negroes opened the door, two or
three bales forced their way out. Mr.
Watson, who was standing near the
door, happened to be looking away
from the car at the time, and before
:.e had time to get out of the way,
one of the heavy bales fell on him.
He was knocked heavily to the ground
but fortunately the bale did not fall
upon him, striking him only a glanc-
ing blow. 1t was with force enough,
however, to knock him to the ground
unconscious, resulting in quite a pain
full injury.
Assistance was at once secured and
Mr.. Watson was brought to the city
and carried to his home on Newcas-
tie street, where Dr. j. A. Butts was
summoned, and it was discovered that
his leg had been fractured while he
received other injuries. His friends
will regret to learn Of the unfortunate
accident and will nope that he will be
out again shortly.

in part borne out by the confession
of the woman.
Before engaging in any of these
crimes Clementine armed herself
with a "hoodoo' which she got from
preacher and which she and Other
members of her band were assured
would protect them from the law.
While the exact reason for the
murders is not explained to the sat
isfa ction of the authorities, it is be

| Lafayette La, April 2.--In the most

criminal annals of this section, mark
, ed py4 horrible details, Clementine
Garnabet, a negroes under arrest here
today cleared the mystery that has
surrounded the murders of seventeen
negroes in southwestern Louisiana,
and gave clues which are expected
to fix, the guilt for eighteen other
night htzassassinations of negroes in this
state and Texas, which have been
charged to the mysterious "ax man y
Calmly, and without any evident
appreciation of the awfulness of her
bloody work, the negroes related in
detail how she slew each family, of
the methods she pursued in escaping
detection, and of the aid she had in
carrying out her fiendish plans. Yet,
while Clementine was willing to tell
her cwn part in these crimes freely,
she evaded every effort of the au-
thorties to learn the other members
of the fanatical band who assisted
ner N some Of her crimes.
f. she declared that she killed the
four. members Of the Randall family
who met death here last November;
four members of the Andrus family,
who, were killed here a year ago last
February; family of five negroes at
Rayne, and four negroes at Crowley.
The 6ther victims at Lake Charles
and in Texas, who were killed since
hep~arr est, were slain in exactly the
same manner, and the authorities are
sure that they were the victims of
unnamed members of a band of fana-
tics that aided her in part of her
bloody work.

Commissioners Are PetitiOned
For Public Wharf at St. Simon

Whether or not the commissioners
will ever consider the petition is not
known, but some of those who signed
it and who were responsible for it
being presented to the commissioners
are Of the opinion that the matter is
one which should at once be looked
into. They point out that there is
absolutely no way of going to st.
Simon at present and landing except
on one of the steamers of the boat
line, and they argue that such a con-
dition should not prevail; that there
should be public landing place and
that the wharf should be maintained
by the county.

From hill to hill the river flowed
