THAW WINS THREE BATTLES
Fugitive in Jail After Victory Over
State of New York-Saved
From Deportation.

Sherbrooke, Que, Aug. 29.-Harrs
K. Thaw won three victories over
the New York state authorities on
Wednesday and was locked in the
Sherbrooke jail, immune for the time
being from the Dominion immigration
authorities, after having received an
ovation from the townspeople OF Sher-
brooke that would have done honor
to a prince of royal blood.
The three points in which Thaw's
lawyers were successful in their first
legal skirmish were:
1. New York state was denied the
right to be party to the proceedings
in court
2. Counsel for the state failed in
their efforts to have Thaw arraigned
before magistrate and the commit
ment on which he is held Quashed.
3. Judge Globensky granted the
plea of Thaw's counsel for a discon-
tinuance of the writ of habeas corpus
which might have brought about his
release This remedied a strategic
blunder made last week by Thaw's
attorneys, who apparently did not
realize then that in seeking their
clients release they were playing into
the opposition's hands.

$4,000 CASE NON SUITED
FORMER DAWSON WOMAN ASK
ED BIG SUM OF CENTRAL.
Mrs. Carrie May Dixon Sues for the
Death of Husband While He Was
Riding in Engine Cab.

Attorney H. A. Wilkinson return
ed from Americas Wednesday, where
he went to represent Mrs. Carrie May
Dixon, formerly of Dawson, but now
a resident of Macon, in suit to re-
cover $4,000 from the Central of
Georgia railroad for the death of her
husband, D. S. Dixon, who was killed
in a wreck near Americas two years
ago. The case was non-suited upon
the showing made by counsel for the
railroad company,
The evidence introduced showed
that the deceased was regularly en-
DIoyed as a fireman of the Central
railway, but on this occasion was
riding as a passenger upon the train
en- route from Macon to Cuthbert.
When the train reached Americas
Dixon left his seat in the coach
and climbed upon the engine, thus
assuming hazardous risk. 1t was
shown by counsel that five minutes
thereafter the wreck occurred in the
Americas yards, resulting in the
death of Engineer Edward Adams,
his regular fireman upon the over
turned locomotive and Dixon as well.
Attorneys for Mrs. Dixon will APP
neal the case.
