MIR. J. L. WALKER OVERCOME.

Mr. Jesse l.. Walker, one of our
most estimable citizens, was over
come by gas last Sunday morning
in the bath room at his home, No
Ala Seventh street. and for a time ii
was feared that he could not be re-
vived. Mr., Walker went to the bath
room between six and seven o'clock
Sunday morning to bathe. The water
is warmed by means of an instantan-
cous gas heater. His bath finished,
Mr.. Walker started to get out Of the
tub, but was overcome by escaping
gas and fell to the floor. Members
of his household heard him fall and
ran to his assistance. He was carried
into an adjoining room and ply
sican was summoned. AT first it
was thought that Mr.. Walker had suf-
fered a stroke of paralysis, but after
ward it was determined that he had
been overcome with gas. He was
quite i'll all day Sunday, but had so
far recovered on Monday as to be
back at his place Of business. Mr..
Walkers many friends regret to learn
of the occurrence, but are TRULY
thankful that his life was spared.

SUNDAY'STORNADO

With about 100 known dead, and
reports still lacking from isolated
sections in Illinois, Indiana, Ohio,
Michigan, Alabama and Georgia-the
states most seriously affected by Sun
day nights terrific tornadoes, it is
believed that the total toll in lives
may exceed 175. 1t is impossible
even approximately to estimate the
property damage, while hundreds Of
persons were more or less seriously
injured.
The homeless people in the two
Georgia towns which were hardes.
hit, La Grange and West Point, are
being sent assistance. The same is
true Of the Chicago suburbs and FL
gin, Ill.
In the south the estimated death
toll was given last night as follows:
La Grange, Gals dead, 100 in
jured.
West Point, Ga.-10 dead, injured
unknown.
Miner, Ga.-One dead.
Macon, Ga.-One dead, number in
jured.
Agricola, Ala.-Five dead, several
injured.
Alexander City, Ala.-11 dead.
In the midwest district the deaths,
so far as known, were as follows:
West Liberty, Ind, 7; Fenton, Mich,
Z; Zulu, Ind, 5; Chicago suburbs and
Elgin, 20; Nashville, Ohio, A; Green
vile, Ohio, a; Geneva, Ind, 3, and
one each at Monroeville, Ind, Town
ley, Ind, Hart, Mich, East Troy,
Wis, and st. Louis, Mo.
Martial law was declared in Elgin.
The tornado which swept through
Michigan, Ohio and Indiana was APP
parently distinct from that which

NEGRO BOY STABBED.

James McCrary and Walter Lang,
two negro boys aged about sixteen
years, engaged in duel yesterday
afternoon at the Union Academy. AS
result of the encounter, McCrary
is in Jail with hole in his head, the
wound having been inflicted by ball
bat in the hands of Lang. The latter
is at the Mckinley Hospital with a
knife wound so close to his heart
that little hope is entertained for his
recovery.
The trouble occurred at recess time,
starting while the boys were at play.
Reports seem to bear out the state
ment of McCrary that Lang attacked
him, struck him upon the head and
back with ball bat, and dislocated
his right thumb. Thinking Lang in
tended to kill him, McCrary drew a
pocket knife and stabbed his assailant
in the region of the heart.
