taxi driver in advance, according to a
decision handed down by the Court Of
Appeals Tuesday morning in the suit
Of A. L. Belle Isle, who operates To-

be legally collected if the machine
was used on Sunday.
Jones hired an automobile from

showed that the machines were used
for pleasure and that the renting of
automobiles for such a purpose IN
Sunday was Illegal

pleasure ridese was a work neither #
charity nor necessity, the contract as
TO the automobile hired on Sunday

Mississippi State Senator and
Tennessee Lumberman Battle
to Death With Ak and Gun.

Dispatches received in Atlanta
Tuesday told of the death OF DR.. Il.
F. Broyles. a State Senator Of Mis-
sissippi and cousin of Recorder Nash
r. Broyles, of Atlanta. in a duel be-
tween the Senator and E. F. Ken
bricks, wealthy timberman of Sell
mer Tenn. on the top of a lake dam
at the Greenwood Springs summer re-
sort near Aberdeen, Miss, Tuesday
morning.
DR.. Broyles was well known in At
lanta, having been in this city ten
DAYS ago, accompanied by two police
officers of his State. to take back
A. D. Oliver, a swindler, who had been
released from Jail after serving n
three year sentence. DR.. Broyles was
one Of the victims of divers alleged
crooked operations in Mississippi and
had brought requisition papers to take
the prisoner back to his State for
trial.
Through Recorder Broylvs the Sen
ator had been introduced to Governor
Slaton and secured the Governors
signature to the requisition papers
He returned to Mississippi just last
Wednesday.
Broyles died with a bullet in his
heart and Hendricks skull was cleft
almost by the keen edge of an AK
welded by the Senator as the revol-
yer of his foe DISCHARGED
So quickly was the double tragedy
enacted. that a Score of persons on
the hotel veranda, who had seen the
start of the difficulty and were run
ming to separate the men, gained only
half the distance before they were
paraIyzed with horror as the flash of
the revolver and the fall Of the
death dealing AK brought the two
men down together to the stone floor
ing lifeless.
Follows Business Quarrel.
The bodies rolled off the dam and
fell a distance of 20 feet into the
gully below, where they were picked
up.
The fight to death brought to an
end q quarrel Of a years standing
between Broyles and Hendricks
which found its o. gin in the value
Of some timber holdings which the
former had sold to the latter and his
son.
BY chance the two men came to-
gether at the Greenwood Springs Ho-
tel, which was owned by the Senator
The old quarrel was renewed and a
clash was averted between them in
the hotel lobby last night.
Staying stirs Whole State.
This morning the men came to-
gether again, on top of the dam
Whether by appointment, is not
known, but early risers at the hotel
saw them there and gave the alarm.
Several persons shouted to the dis
putants and started running toward
them
Az they did so, Senator Broyles
was seen to stoop over and pick up
an ak lying on the dam. AT the same
time Hendricks drew a revolver As
Hendricks revolver flashed, Broyles
buried the ak in his opponents skull
The double Staying is one of the
most startling that has been commit
tel in this State in years, owing to
the prominence Of the men involved

Only a day or two ago several
persons called at the office and urged
that this paper go after" certain
persons for permitting certain al
legged evils. We told the visitors,
who seemed to have just cause for
protest, that If they would sign their
names to card. giving the facts, the
Independent would be glad to print
the card. They withdrew at once.
protesting that they could not be
brought into it. They were willing
to tangle up the newspaper but wer"
not willing to perform the duties Of

cry day. The kickers want the pa
per to do the kicking for them and
are not willing to come out in the
n.cn and fight, even after the paper
has led the combat.
