chance for his recovery. The trouble
occurred in the Boston yards late Sat
urday night. Following the fight Scott
returned to this city and surrendered
to the police. He says he cut Rich
mond in self defense
Describes Scott's Attack.
After returning from Boston today,
where he called upon the wounded
man, Prosecutor Keller said Richmond
informed him that Scott was the ag-
gressor. He said Richmond informed
him that Scott had brought an engine
to the yards from Richmond Satur-
day night and complained because a
switch had not been thrown for him
He said he told Scott that he had
thrown two switches for him and was
not going TO open another as he was
not required to do SO. Richmond
said Scott advanced toward him in a
threatening manner, and he then
struck him across the head with a
lantern. He said Scott then attacked
him with knife.
SCOTS story is similar to the one
related by Richmond, except that the
prisoner asserts that he was assaulted
by Richmond when he stopped over
to open a switch Scott says he then
attacked Richmond in self defense
Scott also informed friends today that
Richmond some time ago assaulted
General Foreman Peck with a lantern
and was discharged, but was later re-
instated.
Richmond is too seriously injured to
be removed to the hospital.

Selections for inspectors at the reg
istration, October 8, were equally d.
vided among the Progressives, Demo
Gratis and Republicans. Because of an
uneven number the Republican party
received one less inspector than the
other two. However, the Republicans
received by far the the larger number
of inspectors in reality, because the
selections from the Progressive party
were in several instances men who
were Progressives but who have gone
back to the Republican ranks.
In the few instances where no selec-
lions were made, the party to whom
the vacancy belongs, has a right to
submit the name of an inspector early

JOHN S. M0SBY
Famous Confederate Raider Died in
Washington After a Long Illness
>at the Age of Eighty two
ASSOCIATED Press)

Washington, May 3G.-Col John S.
Mosby, the famous Confederate raider
in the war between the states, died
here this morning after long illness.
He was native Of Virginia, aged 81.
The funeral will be held at Warren
ton, Va. but no time has been an
nounced. Moshy, who had been en-
ployed in the department of justice
for many years. resigned several
years ago.
Physicians in attendance said that
Col. Mosby's death was due solely to
old age. He was conscious and inter-
ested in what was going on about him
Until an hour before his death. The
funeral will probably be held Thurs
day. Members of Mosby's old COM
mand will be pail bearers.
Col. Mosby dared death over fifty
years ago when at the head of band
of few hundred Confederate raiders
he rode up and down the Shenandoah
valley, capturing outposts, destroying
supply trains, and cutting off means
of communication. 1t has been esti-
mated that he often neutralized the
force of over $1,000 federals in the
valley.
Mosby's most brilliant exploit was
the capture of Gen. Stoughton, on a
March night in 1863, when he, with
&c followers, rode through the fed
eral army to Fairfax courthouse, only
Is miles from Washington, where
Gen Stoughton was asleep. Although
surrounded by an army said to have
been 1900 strong, the rangers calm
ly kidnapped the general, his staff
and many sentries, and turned them
over to the Confederate authorities at
Culpeper without having lost man.
General Grant once later saved
Mosby from hanging, and two foes of
the battlefield became staunch friends.
Mosby stumped the state of Virginia
for Grant during his presidential
campaign, and was rewarded with an
appointment as consul at Hong Kong,
a post which he held for seven years.
He next became special land agent
for the government in Colorado, and
from 1904 to 1910 he was an attorney
in the department of justice.
