Lee County Superior Court
To Convene Here Next Week
Trial Of negroes Will Webster and Dock Mathis will be the features
Of che week.---Docket otherwise about the same Is
m is usual for the court

This article through an error was
printed in last weeks Journal, but
was intended for this week,
Monday will mark the opening of
the fall session ofthe Superior court
Of Lee county. The cases Of special
Interest here are those Of Will Web
ster and Dock Mathis, the two
negroes who will be tried for their
attacks on white men. Will Web
ster, it will be recalled, is the negro
who caused Mr.. Abner Green to lose
his eyesight in both eyes, the negro
having shot Mr.. Green with load
of birdshot. Dock Mathis is held
for the killing Of Mr.. Roy Josey,
which occurred very soon after the
other affair. {
Much interest centers in the trial
of these cases here, as many rumors
Of a double lynching have sprung
up as the result of the difficulties
that arose in Lee county between
these two white residents and the
negroes with whom these troubles
occurred. Following the cards from
Mr.. Abner Green and Mr.. G. A.
Wallace, a relative Of Mr.. Josey,
which were published in a recent
issue of The Journal, it is the cur
rent opinion here that the negroes
will be given fair trial, as this
course was earnestly requested by
both Of these gentlemen in their
sworn statements given out to the
: press.

TAXABLE PROPERTY
TAKES BIG ADVANCE
PENDLETON HAS NEARLY S10O.-
900 MORE IN WEALTH THIS
YEAR THAN LAST.

Pendleton has nearly 100000
more of taxable wealth this year than
last, according to Assessor c. p.
Strain who last evening called the
attention of the city authorities TO
the fact that the time for making
the 1913 levy is approaching. In
1912 the assessed valuation of prop
erty in Pendleton was $4.96S,0OS.0O,
and the assessor estimates that the
increase this year will be about S99,-
04700.
The complete 1918 valuations will
probably not be available in time for
the making of the levy, the assessor
stating that it is unlikely that he will
get returns from the state tax COM
mission in time. However, his esu-
mate is fairly accurate. he states
With the valuation placed at $780,
more. a nine mill levy such as was
made last year win net the city 5000
more
The levy must this year be made
and the assessor by December Isl
which is one month earlier than here
tofore Therefore. the city counci
| will commence preparing its bulge
| for. the making of levy. 1t Is no
thought that the 1918 levy will b,
higher than nine mills.
Assessor Strain, as treasurer of tn,
city library board, asked that n Alt
| mill tax be levied for library pur
poses. This is the same as was mad
last year.

STRIKING MINERS

TIHRTY-THREE OF THEM ARE

BOULDER. Colo, Oct. 9.-Thirty-
three striking coal miners are lodged
IN the county Jail here charged by
Information with having violated the
state law against picketing. Sheriff
Buster, acting upon advice from Gov
ernor T.. NJ. Emmons, warned the
strikers Saturday night that picketing
would not be permitted and that ar
rests would be made as rapidly as pic
kets were discovered. After two days
deliberation the strike leaders decided
to defy the sheriff and ordered their
pickets to work.
When 81 of the strikers were
brought into Boulder from Louisville
by Deputy Sheriffs Shreve and Peter
son, they were followed by an i'm
mense throng of strikers, dressed in
spotless mine uniforms which had not
seen service since April, 1910. The
men. orderly throughout gathered
about the county court house and
were addressed by John O'Connor
chairman of the executive committee
Of the Louisville union.

Shortly after Z o'clock this morning,
fire broke out in the top story of the
New Grand hotel, corner OF Court and
Jonnson street, and before II had been
extinguished damage to the extent Of
several thousand dollars had been
done by fire and water. The cause OF
the fire is unknown but 1t is supposed
to have originated from defective
wiring
The smell OF smoke led to the dis.
covery of the fire but owing to the
fact that frequently the smoke from
the bakery stack below found Its way
into the windows, no significance was
attached to the odor for some time
However, when 1t grew particularly
strong. investigation was made and 4,
was found that one OF the third story
rooms, unoccupied during the night,
was a mass Of blaze
The alarm was sounded immedi-
ately and the response was quick, the
auto truck arriving on the scene in a
few minutes after the discovery. Fire
Chief Chldreth declares the fire could
have been extinguished with but little
damage had not the stairway been
blocked by people carrying down fur
niture This delayed the firemen
several minutes, he states, and the de-
lay proved costly for the fire got in
TO the attic and between the walls,
making 1t a hard one to battle. The
actual damage by the flames was con-
fined to few rooms and will not am
cunt to more than a few hundred dol
lars but the water flooded every floor
of the hotel, running plaster and pa
per and damaging the furniture. The
total damage is estimated at approx
mately $4,000 and Insurance covered
the amount.

REBELS MASSACRE
MANY SPANIARDS
REPORTS SEEM TO HAVE BEEN
CONFIRMED OF HORRIBLE
SLAUGHTER.

MEXICo CITY. Oct. s-Private
dispatches received here tend to con-
firm rumors OF a great massacre OF
Spaniards by the rebels after the cap
ture of Torreon. The advices are that
there was a slaughter of 175 Span
iards in the city The dispatches cams
from MADEIRA. midway between Tor
reon and Saltillo.
With the capture of Torreon by the
rebels, rumors became current of a
massacre which If confirmed. would
approach the horror of the massacre
of Chinese in the same city in the
Madero revolution in 1910.
1t Is estimated that there are be-
tween go and 100 Spaniards in the
city of Torreon. Refugees who have
district declare that it had been a
common boast that they would
slaughter the Spaniards II they sue
ceeded in capturing the town.
The rebels are said to be headed
by Francisco villa, whose reported
capture and execution by the federals
later was disproved. They are said
to have swooped down Unexpectedly
the last of September. the federals
eyacuating.
Every effort has been made by the
authorities here to keep the news or
the affair from the public. The
newspapers even failed to print ref
erence TO the persistent rumors. In
banking circles the capture OF Tor
reon was chedited and caused jump
of twenty points in exchange.
