The hearing will be held at the city
hall at 1918 a. The hearing is
on the petition of the citizens of the
town to compel the Connecticut Co.
to unite with the town in the con-
struction of a new State street bridge.
The Conn. Co. has stated that it will
pay a portion of the cost of a new
bridge providing the town will con-
structa a span the same size as the
present bridge. The trolley company
refuses to aid IN the construction of
g. larger structure. Public opinion
calls for larger bridge. 1t is held
by citizens of the town that traffic
in the near future will demand double
tracks across the bridge and that
there should be footwalks on both
sides. of the new structure.
A car off the track near the Peet
Moss Swamp Saturday morning up
set all semblances of a schedule be-
tween here and Norwalk. 1t not on
ly upset schedules but many. tempers
were ruffIed. There is but one troll
ley on the line and this is the one that

possible for the crew to get the car

The bridge is open for pedestrian
traffic every evening and is not closed
as announced It is however clos
| ed to traffic of vehicles after D. M
when the traffic regulators put up the

Another bridge gave away Satur-
day and another road steam roller
was put out of temporary commission.
The road roller used by the contrac-
tors who are laying the pavement for
the Connecticut Co, in State street got
too near the end OF the bridge over
Dead Mans brook and a cave in oc-
Cured, the roller falling into the
ditch but not enough to topp1e it over.
1t sunk, however, SO far that it was
impossible to get it out under it's own
power. 1t is probable that the roller
might have gone into the brook but
for the concrete guard wall against
which it rested on its side Not much
damage was done to the road and the
bridge.

COWBOY HAS A
NARROW ESCAPE
Horse Falls Over High Bluff While
In Pursuit of Range Calf.

FLORENCE, Ariz., July 19.-G. R.
Freeman came in from his cattle
ranch twenty miles east of here and
brought news of a most remarkable
escape from death by the most trust
worthy cowboy, Phil Redondo. Phil
started out last Tuesday morning to
ride the range. He went down to
the old Donnelly ranch and while in
that neighborhood ran across a cou-
pie of wild calves. He gave chase
to them and after a hot race roped
one of the feet-footed animals. He
tied it securely and then gave chase
to the other.
1t headed straight for the high line
of bluffs that run along the big wash
at that point. Before it had reached
the edge Phil had successfully land
ed the moose of his rope over its
neck. Through some cause, proba-
blv fright, though as yet unexplained,
the calf went over this bluff. The
horse that Phil was riding had at
one time been locoed and as an eff
feet thereof was at times unrespon-
sive to the reins.
When about six or eight feet from
the brink it seems that he managed
to gain control of his mount and
threw it upon it's launches, but the

OF SECOND DISTRICT,

FALLS IN THE ROAD AS HE IS EN-
ROUTE TO THE HOME OF A
NEiGHBoR.
SPECIAL ELECTION NECESSARY
Funeral and Burial at Goodwin Chapel
This Morning at 10 o'cioek--L arse
Number Of relatives and Friends
Attending.

Jasper N. Haywood, one of the
most prominent citizens of Maury
county, member Of the county
court. a citizen of worth and high
character and a member of the Dap
tist church, died near his home on
Knob Creek Saturday night.
After supper Saturday night he
and his family started to the home
OF a cousin, Bud Haywood, a short
distance away, to sit till bed time.
He appeared to be in as fine health as
ever and ate a hearty supper, and
had been attending to duties about
the farm and place during the day
with no complaint. After the family
had gone a short distance they met a
couple of neighbor boys and had a
short conversation with them, but the
deceased only went few steps when
they started on. He fell heavily to
the ground without word and was
dead when he was examined. It was
at first thought that he had stumbled
but an examination disclosed the fact
that he was dead.
| The death of Esq Haywood will
necessitate special election for his
successor, and this cannot be held
within the next two weeks as supple
mental registration will have ID be
held in the district, and the law re-
quires that this must be done at least
twenty days prior to the election.
Jasper Haywood was a most excel
lent man, and was highly esteemed
| by all who knew him. He was a
member of the present county court
and had served in the court several
years ago. Last August he was elect
ed by handsome vote, after having
had vacation from the duties Of the
Office. He was man of excellent
judgment and though man Of strong
convictions when once convinced he
was reasonable and conservative.

age, and is survived by a wife, one
son and three daughters, and broth

AMERICANS FLEE
FROM MEXICO CITY
TO BORDER SAFETY
WOMEN AND CHILDREN HURRY
! ING TO VERA CRUZ FROM
BATTLE ZONE.
AMBASSADOR WILSON DIRECTING
Armistice That Was to Last for
Day Is Broken in Few Hours, the
Fighting Being More Violent Than
Ever.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-Hurried
preparations were made in Mexico
City today for the flight of American
women and children from the stick
en- city to safety within the borders
of the United States.
As soon as the armistice had Eeen
declared, the American embassy staff
and the committee appointed by Am
bassador Wilson began the work OF
assembling the panic stricken women
and children at the embassy. Many
who hitherto had paid no heed 10 the
warning of the ambassador to leave
the city were eager to embrace any
measures which meant their deliver
ance from the panic which has fol-
lowed in the wake of a weeks d.sor-
ders.
1t was pointed out that the easiest
way to safety lay via Vera Cruz, only
a short distance by rail. Once arriv-
ed at the port of the capital city, the
refugees would have full perfection
pending the continuance of their Jour.
ney by steamer to American soil
One American dreadnaught the Geor
gia, already lies in anchor at Vera
Cruz harror, and two others, the Yer
mont and Nebraska, are due tomor
row. With the guns of three sea
monsters leveled toward the city, the
refugees would have little to fear but
if necessity @hould arise the fugitives
could be taken aboard ship.
While preparations for flight of the
women and younger members Of the
American colony were going forward
the work of removing all foreigners
from the danger zone was entered
upon in earnest, and hundreds sought
safety in the neighborhood of the
American embassy, where every kline
of shelter was employed as a place
OF refuge.

JUDGE W.B. TURNER
CHARGES THE JURY
MONDAY MORNING
REckLESskESS IN TAKING HU-
MAN LIFE Is A SUBJECT OF
SPECIAL MENTION.
CIGARETTES and The PAPERS
Possession of Internal Revenue ~.
cense Is Prima Facie Evidence of
Violation Of the State Liquor Laws.
Pure Food Laws.

Judge Turner's charge to the grand
jury Monday was broad in every
sense and II these instructions should
be carried out in detail by the fury
and the court there would soon be
less to be looked after and much
more satisfaction throughout the
county.
The usual rigid instructions were
given regarding the carrying of weap-
ons, gambling, disturbing public wor-
ship, and the ordinary run of misde-
meanors and small offenses. Touch
ing upon the light manner In which
human life is held the Judge said:
"The disposition to take human life
Is so notably manifest that l feel it
my duty to emphasize the necessity
of saying that all who unlawfully kill
their fellow man should be brought to
trial To prevent this reckless taxi
| ing of human life has become one of
the problems confronting our govern
ment. Perhaps more people are kill
ed in this country than in any other,
and fewer are punished. Public sen.
timent should be so aroused to q rec
ognition of the sacredness of human
| life and the necessity to protect the
same. A more rigid enforcement of
the law against murder is necessary,
and all good citizens should join in
an effort to secure life and liberty"
In referring to the unlawful sale of
Intoxicating liquors, Judge Turner
mentioned the fact that two weeks
ago there was statement from the
internal revenue collector that there
was not an internal revenue license
in this judicial circuit. He insisted
that the grand jury investigate cases
| of this character very closely, and
that the possession of an internal
revenue license was prima facie evil
dence Of guilt, and should be so con-
strued by the jury and indictments
returned.
Judge Turner also called especial
attention to the law regarding the
selling and giving away of cigarettes
and cigarette paper to minors. He
told the jury that 1t was not in their
province to determine the right or
wrong of law, but to see that the
laws enacted are enforced, and he in
sisted that where the cigarette laws
had been violated that indictments be
returned, and that an investigation be
made as to the violations.
The pure food and sanitation laws
were given a special reference and
the particular feature of food adulter-
alton was dwelt upon.
| The remainder of the charge was
of general nature, and the jury was
told to retire for their deliberations.

Declares That the Bar Bootlesger
Has Been Practically Eliminated In
This Section Through Efforts Of
Law Officers.

AS result of the vigorous crusade
Of Attorney General Ericsson, the
sheriffs. local police and other offic.
ers in the several towns and noun-
ties charged with the enforcement OF
the law, there is not now, or was not
la week ago, single federal liquor
license held in this judicial circuit
This information Is given in a letter
from the collector of internal rove
nue. to Hon. Horace Frierson, the at
torney general of this circuit.
Mr.. Frierson is naturally very
much gratified at the result of the
flght that he, together with the cffic-
ials who have aided him, have made
against the ubiquitous liquor traffic.
His fight has been most effective, for
there are very few who will engage in
the sale of liquors without being pro-
tected from the wrath of Uncle Sam
by having an internal revenue H.
cense.
In discussing the matter this morn
ing Gen. Frierson said: "The letter
from the collector Is of course very
gratifying to me. | have, together
with the other officials charged with
the enforcement of the laws, made a
vigorous fight against the bootlegger
and while there are doubtless a rum-
Der of pocket bootleggers plying their
trade, we have made 1t so warm for
them that 5ottlegger with a bar and
permanent place of business has
been practically destroyed in the
counties of my circuit. have been
assisted by the local and county offic-
tails In my fight for the enforcement
Of the law and of course could not
have succeeded without this assist
ance. The little pocket boot sgger
Is not the menace to the peace and
morals of society that the bar boot
logger is."
Gen. Frierson is very much inter
ested in the passage of jury com
mission law for Maury county, believ.
ing that such law would materially
aid in the enforcement Of the laws
