Eric Watts, Blacksmith, Who Slew
Buchanan, But Cooler Heads
Prevail.

ltta Bena,--E. H. Buchanan, a prom
inent contractor of this city, was killed
on the streets of Itta Bena by Eric
Watts, a blacksmith living here.
Mr.. Buchanan was stabbed with a
pocket knife. the first time In the back
and afterwards in the abdomen. He
lived about two hours and died on the
operating table.
The trouble started over Mr.. Watts
brother. Mr.. Buchanan was remodel
ing the restaurant of f. S. Carnaggio
on Front street, and was working near
the sidewalk. Mr.. Watts brother was
standing nearby and evidently in the
way of the workman, as Mr.. Buchanan
asked him to get out of the way so
they could work and the boy replied
that he was not in the way. One word
led on to another, when Mr.. Buchanan
said he would get the chief of police
and see If he would get him (Watts)
out Of the way. He (Mr. Buchanan)
walked up to the corner Of the street,
but not seeing the policeman went
back and told him to get back out of
the way and pushed him out OF the
way.
Eric Watts was standing nearby and
when Mr.. Buchanan pushed the other
Watts boy out OF the way he jumped
on Mr.. Buchanan with the exclama.
ton, "You cant jump on my sick
brother!" and with that he jerked out
his knife and stabbed ar. Buchanan
In the back. Then Mr.. Buchanan
whirled and as he did so Watts
stabbed him in the abdomen. Several
people standing by rushed up and
grabbed both parties and DR.. T. b.
Holloman, who happened to be near

was able to walk all the way and told
DR.. Holloman that he was not badly

were brothers, having see the
man before.
Watts hurried off towards the out.
skirts Of town and was caught by
Chief of Police Mitchell and hurried
to Greenwood In an automobile, where
he was lodged in jail.
Public feeling was very high for a
while, but cool heads prevailed. Mr.,
Buchanan came to this city several
years ago from Tennessee and "a
held in high esteem by all who knew
him.

James Gordon Seriously Wounded In
Quarrel with Former Partner.

Lula.--James Gordon, hotel keeper,
was shot and seriously wounded by
John Dowdy. ice dealer. Only n
shot was fired, which struck Gordon
in the stomach. The two men some
weeks ago had a dispute about bust
ness matters connected with the Ice
house In which at that time they were
partners. The matter was thought by
friends to nave been ended; at any
rate, a settlement Of the business diff.
ferences was made and the ice bust.
ness was continued by Dowdy. A few
weeks ago Gordon leased the hotel
and has been buying ice of Dowdy.
Some disagreement came up over a
purchase Of some Ice by Gordon from
Dowdy, Dowdy claiming that Gordon
took some ice from his wagon, which
was delivering about town, and failed
to pay the negro driver the delivered
price, which Is Is cents more than
when sold at the Ice house. When the
men met on the most prominent bust.
ness corner Dowdy rebnked the vic.
tim, and some hot words were passed,
resulting in the shot fired by Dowdy
which, it may be, pierced the intes'

FATAL ENDING 70 FEUD.
Sol Ladner Killed by Thomas Roster
Near PoplarviIie.

Poplarville.-Thomas Roster killed
Sol Ladner about seven miles east Of
here.
1t seems that bad feeling existed be-
tween the two families and Ladner,
with two neighbors, was out on the
creek fishing, Ladner carrying a fish
gun. When they came to the bridge
Roster and Roy Davis, an aged man,
were on the bridge. and when the two
men saw each other 1t is reported both
made an effort to shoot, Roster being
the quicker Of the two, killed Ladner.
1t is reported that Davis also shot Lad
ner after Roster had emptied his au-
tomato shotgun.
It will be recalled that Boyd Ladner,
son of the dead man, and John Lee
killed each other In a duel on the road
near Hillsdale, this county, about three
months ago. This trouble Is a culmina-
ton Of that affair. Both families are
prominently connected.

backed down" for once In his life,
and a speaking date for Bay Springs,

advertised. stands cancelled.
In the dispatch from Jackson It Is
said that the Bay Springs date is can.
celed because OF a conflicting ap.
pointment," but his friends and enc
mics In this section have a hankering
suspicion that the doughty lieutenant
governor has Cancelled his Bay Springs
date for the reason that Nose Johnson.
a negro. who killed young Reese Fitz'
patrick and robbed the Chelmsford
ney pay car 4 few weeks ago. is to be
hanged publicly there on that date, .
Mr.. Bilbo has spoken to all sorts Of
audiences. and he has brooked oppo-
sition in pretty well all Of Its forms
and phases, but to put himself up as a
counter-attraction to the execution OF
a negro desperate is a little more
than he is inclined to relish.
Just why the friends of the lieuten'
ant.governor selected the date of the
hanging for a political rally has not
been explained. but some people have
been SO cruel as to suggest that some
Of the morbidiy inclined merely want.
ed an excuse to attend the hanging,
and some credenCe is given to this
view Of the matter, since the proposed

on that date has been abandoned.

VERA CRUZ CLOSED


funston Makes Report o. ca,r.nx,,,
Does Not Re.
card Action % ~ursriendIy.
Washington.-Provisional President
CarransG has ordered the port of Vera
Crus clcsed. according to official ad.
vices to the American government.
Cen Funston transmitted 1 long re-.
port ON the complications which might
result. but state department officials
were not inclined to regard 1t as an
unfriendly action.
During the Huerta regime Vera
Cruz was similarly closed, but foreign
vessels paid little attention to the or.
der. Carranza's decree would prevent
Mexican ships from putting in at Vera
Cruz and. II enforced in an unfriendly
way. might exact heavy penalties from
foreign vessels entering any other
Mexican port after they touched at
Vera Cruz. Gen. Funston called at.
tention to the possibilities that foreign
ship owners desiring not to incur the
displeasure OF the Carranza admins.
tration might hesitate to send cargoes
to Vera Cruz, diminishing the food
supply Of the city.
In some quarters there was a dispo.
sition to regard Carranza's attitude as
one OF resentment against the con.
tlnued occupancy Of Vera Cruz by
American troops, but state department
officials did not share this view. An
interruption in railway traffic between
Vera Cruz and Mexico City recently
occurred, but as soon as Gen. Funston
announced he would keep all rolling
stock in Vera Cruz until traffic was re-
sumed the Mexican authorities ex.
planned that they were using the trains
to transport troops and Immediately
adjusted the schedules.
Paul Fuller, personal representative
of President Wilson, is due in Mexico
City to discuss with the government
there questions relating to the Amer.
lean occupancy Of Vera Cruz as we'll
as differences between Carranza and
Villa. Although administration Off,
clals have not announced their posi-
tion in any formal way, 1t is generally
understood that recognition will be
withheld until a complete agreement
between the two chieftains has been
reached and arrangements made for a
constitutional election. .

Oppose Public Hanging.

IMl.a 'MHU.NI KIN.
The recent order OF the board Of 81.
peryisors OF Jasper county, directing
that the execution OF Nose Johnson,
the self-confessed murderer Of Reese
Fitzpatrick, late treasurer Of the Gil
hrist-Fordney Lumber company, shall
be in public. is hot regarded with una
nimity by the public of Bay Springs
and Jasper county. Still. the major
ity opinion Of the county seems to ap.
prove the order of the supervisors,
and thus the probabilities are that
when the details for the public hang
ing are all completed, and the hour ap-
proaches for Sheriff~Jones to discharge
the duty imposed upon him, the crowds
in attendance will outnumber the stay
at-homes. The Bay Springs News,
which Is against the movement to
make a spectacle out Of the hanging
OF johnson, advises Its readers TO take
q few serious thoughts before lining up
with the crowd Of spectators.
There Is a movement on foot now
to secure the enactment OF legislation
that would prohibit the holding Of pub

the question will be canvassed in the
