GENTLEMEN HUNTERS KILL THREE BIC
 BUCK DEER
Dr. Melick Climbs Mountains In His Five Passenger
 Hupmobile

Eight men and about two ton of young canon go to Sitgraves in Hup- mobiles for deer, and they are con- sidering themselves lucky that three of the crowd bag game. Not like the usual huntsmen, they did not have any disputed game.
 Those in the. crowd were Dr. Me lick H. Yoder, Fred Baum, George Barnes, Paul Yoder, Claude Fol. som, Martin Bergston, and R. M. Rees. Those to bring down game were Dr. Melick, Paul Yoder and Fred Baum.
 The party is strong with the backing for the hill climhing Hup- mobile, if Dr. Melick ir at the wheel. It is said that he took his car farther up in the hills than any other car has ever been before, and some in the party are willing to wager that it is farther than any other car will go in the future.
 It sounds nearly as large to say that we got three bucks as it is to gay 1 got one buck, but there is lots of difference in the meaning. If you hear any one say that we did it, you may lake it for granted that he did not get in on the game Still it is nearly as exciting when you see 1t done.

CALUMET AND ARIZONA BAND WILL PLAY AT :
 THE STATE FAIR
Some of the Greatest of the Pacers and Trotters
 Will be There

On September 22d the books were opened for box reservations, at Phoenix, for the State Fair, and there were applications for ev- cry box in the grand stand, with some twenty or thirty more than could be supplied. Some ten or a dczcn more boxes will be built, but not enough to supply the demand.
 The fame of the Fair is growing, and is not confined to the state.
 The Western horsemen predicted some months ago that the Arizona State Fair track would from now on be the greatest meeting place and battle grounds between the eastern and western horsemen. This fight will perhape reach it's crux in the ee for all pace, where the great mare, Leata J., 2:O3, the sensation of the grand circuit this year, will meet Don Pronto, 2:O24, Joe Patch en II, 2:O34, and perhaps Jim To- gan, 2 O34, and King Daphne, I2.O43 Minnie Chimes, 2:O44, the great sensation of last year, is also entered in the State Fair races. Jimmie McVay says he proposes to take the scalps of all to decorate his den at Hutchinson Also Pap Geer has about made up his mind to bring Anvil, 2:O44, for the purpose of giving him the stallion record for 1913.
 This year the Phoenix Board of Trade has guaranteed $5OOO purse, known to be the Phoenix Board of Trade, 2:12 trot, and the different copper companies have contributed toward stake, known as the Cop per Stake, this year designated as the 2:1O pace.
 This year the Calumet & Arizona Copper company of Bisbee, instead of donating to the copper stake, de cided to donate the Calumet 6 Ari- zona band for fair week. This is one of the finest bands in the South west, and will be great addition to the fair. This is one of the most handsome donations ever made by a copper company 10 the fair.
 Exhibits in every department will be of better quality and greater Iquantity than ever before, judging from the present applications made for space at the secrctary's office.

CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSES
THE CAMP LOT PROBLEM
Subject is Talked Over at Great
Length. and Action May be
Taken Tonight

The city council met in regular
monthly session Tuesday night.
and the meeting was devoted
largely to a discussion of how to
provide camping facilities for
farmers who visit Columbus dur
ing the coming fall and winter,
the closing of the camp lot con-
nected with Gardner's warehouse
having left the city entirely des-
titute of facilities of this charac-
ter.
Unless Columbus provides bet
ter camping facilities for farm
ers a vast amount of cotton which
would under ordinary conditions
come here will go elsewhere.
The council is determined to
make provision for the farmers.
and definite action in the matter
will probably be taken at an ad.
journed meeting which is TO bt
held tonight.

with G. NJ. Flynn. president Of
the association which holds the
local franchise in the Cotton
States League. Pat Graham has
relinquished the management of
the team. and will join the Chat

the local pitching staff. after
wards had a physical encounter.
in which the manager was pret-
ty severely beaten up.
Graham did not go to Selma

longed to the Atlanta Southern
League team. and has been sold
by that organization to the Look

letin Brain Of Augusta Tabb.
a l4-year-old Girl.
WIS PLAYING WITH GUN
Shooting Occurred Tuesday Night
at Columbus House, No. Oil
Main Street.

Agusta Tabb. a l4-year-old
negro girl. was accidentally shot
and killed about seven o'clock
Tuesday night by John Henry
Walker. a tiny descendant of
Ham who is only twelve years
old. and small for his age.
The shooting occurred at the
Columbus House. No. 6l2 Main
street, where the girl was en-
ployed as a waitress. She was
in the kitchen washing dishes
and the boy was on the porch
outside. playing with a 22-calibre
parlor rifle. Believing the gun
to be unloaded, he pointed it at
the negress and pulled the trig-
ger. Almost instantly there was
q cry from the girl. and she fell
supine to the floor.
The shot attracted the atten-
tion of inmates of the house.
who rushed hastily to the kitch-
en-, where they found the girl
lying prone upon the floor, with
blood oozing from the wound
caused by the bullet. which
struck her in the temple. She
was removed to the Mckinley
Sanatorium. which is just across
the street from the hotel, and
died in a few minutes.
The police were notified. and
young Walker was taken into
custody Tuesday night. but when
the officers questioned him again
yesterday morning they became
convinced that the shooting was
purely an accident, and the boy
was turned over to his mother.

|ployers and the esteem and re-
spect Of Columbians generally.

C. c. SMITH FILES MOTION
TO QUASA INDICTMENTS
Attorneys for Prison Trustee
Declare Papers in Case are
Defective.

Jackson, Miss, June 30. Pres
ident Chas. G. Smith of the board
of state penitentiary trustees,
through his attorneys, George
Butler, Clayton d. Potter and
Burch and Striker, has filed a de-
murrer to the indictments
against him and motion to quash.
which were to have been heard
heard by Judge Henry early to-
day. However there was mur-
der case pending. in which Nose
Francisco is charged with the
murder of Rufus Coleman. an
other negro. which consumed the
entire time of the court during
the day. which side-tracked the
Smith case for the time being.
In general terms the demurrer
sets I'D the contention that the
indictment does not charge any
offense under the laws of the
state in the alleged automobile
transaction with the Baker Nc
Dowell Co.. Of Natchez. 1t is
further contended that the in
dictment does not allege fraud
or collusion between the defend
ant Smith and the aforesaid firm,
nor does it allege that the pur-
chase was not made in strict con-
formity with the statutes. from
the lowest bidder; that it does
not specify the repairs made.
to whom the automobile in ques-
ton belonged. and several lines
of demurrer are advanced.
The motion to quash alleges
that the indictment If fatally de-
fectiye. in that it attempts t.
charge separate and distinct fel'
onies. growing out of separate
and distinct allegations or counts
in the same indictment. 1t Il
contended that the indictment OF

M0IHER STATE OFFICIAL
IS CHARsED WITH GRAFT


Jackson. MIss June o..
Governor Brewer was informeu
tonight that an officer Of the
Louisiana Interstate Mineral Co.,
had charged that State Geolo.
eist Lowe had attempted graft,
and failing to get an extortion-
ate price to make a favorable re-
port on the company in Smith
and Jasper counties. had made
an adverse report.
Governor Brewer stated en-
phatically that he did not believe
the charges true. but if officers
of the company had proof he
would be glad to have them come
to Jackson and submit it. If the
charges were proved. he said,
he would discharge Lowe from
office.
In reply to the accusation Mr..
Lowe has made the following
statement:
Il wish to make two propo-
sitions to the Louisiana Mineral
Company:
''First-If they can find a rep
utable geologist who will make
them a favorable report on their
Smith County property, with
their prospectus in hand, / will
pay the expense of the examina-
ton.
''Second-If | have in any
way. directly or indirectly. at
tempted or suggested any double
dealing in connection with my
report on their property, let
them come forward and prefer
charges in regular form, and put
the charges in the hands of the
governor. and a searching inves-
tigation will be made. | think
both these propositions are fan"
DR.. Lowe is held in the high
est esteem throughout Mississip-
pi. and It would require strong
evidence to induce the governor
or anyone else to believe in the
allegations of graft" which
have been suggested against
him.
