Those ambitious Democrats in Penn
svlvania who are pleading for support
on the score Of an endorsement of
President Wilson are likely to discover
in the very near future that this is one
of the ld-fashioned Commonwealths
that believe in home rule and the selec-
ton OF their own State officials. The
fact that President Wilson picked a
slate for the Democracy in this State,
as he has endeavored to do In other
States is certain to prove more of a
handicap than help In the campaign.

Of Arbo wounded In a pistol duel in

train that reached Jackson at mid.
night, the wounds having been in
ficted by bullets from a pistol in tho
hands of Don Anglin, husband of the
wounded woman. Anglin's fire was
returned by Bright as he fell to the
floor Of the a desperately wounded.
The trouble, according to passen-
gers on the train, was over the wife
of Anglin, who had taken the train
at Arbo to go to Mendenhall She
held a baby Of ten months in her arms
when a bullet from Anglin's pistol
struck her in the cheek. The blood
from the wound flowed to the face
of the baby at her breast.
Anglin was arrested at Mendenhall
by Sheriff Lee and locked in Jail, the
train being held nearly an hour until
the officer was summoned to the
scene.
According to Conductor Dorsey, Mrs.
Anglin got on the train at ArbO, a few
miles from Mendenhall. Her husband
bid her goodbye at the steps Of the
car. Unknown to his wife Anglin got
in another coach, the smoker. When
Mendenhall was reached Bright, a
married man, boarded the train. Aft
er the shooting two tickets to Jack
son were found in his pocket, though
he was accompanied by no one when
he got on the train. Bright had en-
tered the chair car, in which Mrs. Ang-
lin was sitting, only a few feet away,
when Anglin appeared In the door
way, having come from the smoker.
The men did not speak, and Anglin
drew his pistol and began firing at
Bright. It Is believed that Anglin shot
his wife accidentally, having aimed at
Bright, who was a little In front OF
where Mrs. Anglin was sitting.
Both Bright and Anglin were in the
sawmill business, and 1t is said bad
blood existed between them for years

Hattiesburg.-A. A.. Hammond, at
torney at Cleveland, Miss, has filed
suit in Forrest county for $1,000 900
damages against Judge Paul B. John
son of the Twelfth Circuit Court dis
trict. Grounds for the suit were laid
at the April, 1913, term of court at
Laurel, when a man named Hickson,
client of Hammond, was on trial for
petit larceny. During this trial a wit
ness named Frank Jones was placed
under bond to await action of the

nesses out of the state. Following this
incident Hammond was cited for con-
tempt of court by Judge Johnson and
was later disbarred from further prac-
tice in Judge Johnson's court. He
was fined 500 and given a jail sen,
tence of thirty days, the fine and SEN
tence being RENTED during good be-
havior after plaintiff had served a few
days in Jail.
Hammond claims damages, alleging
mental agony at being placed among
criminals in Jail, because Of false i'm
prisonment, for the loss of money for
being forced to retire from a 500, 900
damage suit heard at that term Of the
court, loss of other practice because of
the disbarment proceedings, and the
fact that he was forced to leave Held
elberg, his home, in order to carry on
his law practice.
