M!oats
Is Arrested
For Murder
C0LoRED LAD WHO SHOT HIS
MOTHER WILL HAVE TO AN
SWER THE STATE.
HE HAD A QUARREL WITH HIS
MOTHER BEFORE THE TRAG-
EDY OCCURRED.

Herbert Meats, the nineteen year
old negro boy who shot and killed his
mother, Louise Meats, at their home
on Robinson street Saturday morn
ing, and which shooting was claimed
TO have been accidental was today
arrested by Constable Riggs and Rep
|uty Sheriff Buckley upon warrant
charging lin with the murder OF Ills
mother.
While at the time of the shooting
Meats. his mother and May Steward,
+unotlier colored woman, were the
present and the. Steward
woman and Meats told tile same stody
of the affair, later developments and
fumors in the neighborhood saysthat
The shooting was mot accidental but
was the result OF a passion upon tho
past ofsthe young negro.
: Neighbors in the vicinity say that
on Saturday morning before the
shooting that Meats and his mother
participated in quarrel and upon
her refusal to give him money that
he proceeded to beat her.
Coroner Frank Lloyd has reopened
the case and jury Of six men has
been summoned to hear the evidence.
The coroncr's jury will convene to-
morrow morning and listen to the
testimony Of witnesses. The follow
ing men will serve on the jury: NJ.
w. Harris, w. L. Hawkins. L. w.
Kelley, j. o. Whorley, ]. o. McEl-
fresh and Ed. Holbert.
The funeral of the unfortunate wo-
man was to have been held this after.
noon but the later developments have
caused postronement. 1t is likely
that a post mortem examination will
be held before the body is inferred.

LONDON, Oct. 12.- The serious
fighting during the last fortnight
says the Paris correspondent, cen
tered about Albert, Royc and Las
'signy. Not an acre Of ground in
this region is without traces Of the
terrific struggle. Albert, which was
first regained from the Germans, is
a heap OF ruins. Only the gilded
clock tower remains.
Roye sustained an interrupted
bombardmont for fortnight and no
longer exists. Lassigny was the last
stronghold of the enemy, being the
point Of the wcdged which the Ger
mans$wcre endcavoring to drive into
the allies. sst.s.3- 8.s
The struggle in this region had
much;of tile same character as that
on the right bank of the Aisne.
Around Royc .the Germans made
the most of the quarries in establish
ing defensive necessitating regu-
lar siege on the part Of the allies.
There, as in many other places, the
enemy had prepared his ground in
time of peace.

K LONDON, Oct. 12.-The news of
German movements between Ant
wcrp and ostend upsto the present. is
so rragmentary+ and contradictory 'ta
to be almost worthless.
The Germans are maintaining
their customary secrecy and reports
coming from Belgium and sucn
sources tell OF heavy repulses to the
Germans with losses suspiciously
large and roundein number are looked
at askance nowadays.
The capture Of ostend would OF
course be worth the possession Of
many Antwerps to the German plans
so it may be taken for granted that
they will not enter the popular sea-
side resort without fighting for every
foot of the way.
Great events depend therefore
upon the; result fof the battle now In
progress on the line5of Lassigny and
Lens and the other operations con-
,nccted there with and in which the
'5ts4 v i a 4
three German army corps released
from tho siege Of An twerp will try to
take part.
RThe retenfion< OFT QNpremond, by
the French after serious fighting
during which the place was lost and
retaken, is regarded as important, as
tile town lis we'll to the northward OF
Verdun. There is no confirmation
of the report that the civil popula-
tion of Belfort is quitting that city
in fear of bombardment and no news
las been received here OF any'special
hostile movement in that quarter.
The claim by Vienna that Austrian
troops have relieved Przemysl and
scattered its Russian investors is the
most striking news from the eastern
thcater that is asserted to be official.
There is nothing here to confirm or
deny the claim.
A German report also records
check to the Russian forces on the
7russian frontier and the progress OF
the German army in Poland which
seems destined to be the cocktip
determining the events in this
war arena.
