The pay car was held up and robbed
by three negroes who secured $4,000
in small change and currency and es-
capped into the woods.
Fitzpatrick and Robinson left Lau-
rel soon after moor for the Gilchrist-
Fordney Lumber camp to pay off the
men.
They went as far as Stevens on the
regular New Orleans, Mobile & Chi
cage passenger train, where they were
met by ]. V. Simmons, b%ookkeeper at
the camp. and the three men proceed
ed on a small motor car along the
tracks of the logging road leading out
into the woods from that station.
When "a short distance from Stevens
they encountered a pile of ties on the
track and alighted to remove the OBJ
struction, when they were fired on
from ambush.
Fitzpatrick was shot through the
body, dying Immediately. Simmons
received the contents of a Winchester
shot gun in the head and died before
reaching a hospital in Laurel. Rob

MOTOR SERVICE SOUGHT.
Movement to Operate Them Between
Towns in Mississippi.

w "'oolSokR'
Anguilla.-There is a movement on
foot here to create a traction company
to operate motor trucks from the up
per end of Sharkey county to Mayors.
Vile, Miss, a Mississippi river town,
in %Issaquena county. for the purpose
of hauling cotton and other products
for shipment to points north and south
on the Mississippi river, and to haul
merchandise and other freight from
this point for distribution along the
proposed line as far north as Percy,
Mis-.
There is a great deal Of interest be-
ing manifested by both planters and
merchants along the proposed route,
a. tley then can receive shipments by
river at a great deal less cost than
by rail, and will be a great saving
IN cotton shipments alone. There is
also another movement on foot to get
the Southern railway to extend its line
from Richey, Miss, down the west
bank of Sunflower river to Landing,
Miss, thence into Anguilla. This ter
ritory being without a railroad, the
property owners and others will make
some very attractive offers for this
extension.
A meeting will be called in a few
days to appoint committees to lool
after the success of these movements

Horrible death here, being electrocut-
ed at the top of a pole in West End,
where he was just finishing some
work and was preparing to come down
to go to his dinner. In some way, it
is said, he touched a live wire that
burned his hand, and this threw him
back against a wire with heavy volt
age. He was killed instantly, and his
body being held by a safety belt to
the post, he was suspended in midair
until spectators got him down. Ply
sicians were at once summoned ana
the big pulmotor of the company was
rushed to the scene and a heroic eff
fort was made to revive him, but
without avail. His family were sit
ting in a porch swing on the front
porch, awaiting his arrival TO dinner
when notified OF his death. The de

MISSISSIPPI INDIANS.
Choctaws CIinch Their Victory by Act
of Congress.

Jacksonville Mississippi Chloe
taws clinched their victory when the
senate amended the Indian appropria-
ton bill by inserting a proyiso to the
item appropriating 500 for each OF
the Choctaws to the effect that the
distribution of the money should not
take place until the status of the Mis-
sissippi Choctaws had beer deter
mined by congress. The senate by a
vote of SO to 81 refused to rescind he
action taken when 1t adopted the Will
liams amendment, which makes it nee
essary if the Oklahoma Choctaws
want to get any of their tribal money
to consent to a settlement, by con-
gress, of the status of their Mississippi
brethren living in Mississippi and
Louisiana and a few in Alabama.
The Mississippi and Louisiana con-
gressmen who have made a three or
four-year fight for the Mississippi
Choctaws are unwilling to have the
Indian bureau settle their status. The
Indian bureau once made up rolls OF
the tribe, which were pigeon-holed for
seven or eight years and then were
disapproved by the secretary of the
interior, Ethan Allen Hitchcock, be
cause, as John Sharp Williams assert
ed, the cis-Mississippi Indian could
not prove who was his great-grandfa
theirs grandfather. Hitchcock was un
der the impression that every lndiar
should be able to trace his genealog,
as easy as he could his, his ancestor
being Ethan Allen Of Triconderogi
fame.
