Montezuma, La., A. arch 13.—Tha
big 5-ir.ch steam pipe which con
veys the steam from t :o heller to the
piers at the Montezuma compret
exploded and several men came at
losing their lives.
Manager \V. H. Tucks was at the

of turning on the steam to press the
first bale of eotton of the day, the
big pipe bursted aud fell with great
force to tbe door. In an instance
the whole surroundings was so com
pletely filled with steam and hot wa
ter It was Impossible to see. Every
one realized the trouble at once, and
made for shelter. Mr. Tooks was
standing directly under tbe pipe and
crawled over a lot of tires to the
Central railroad track.
The force of the escaping steam was
so great It burned large holes In the
heavy flooring.

Atlanta, March 13.—Shortly after 1
Tuesday afternoon, Coi. John Tem
pie Graves, editor of the Atlanta
Georgian and News, and Walter P.
Andrews, were standing In front of
Brown & Allen's drug store, at the
corner of Whitehall and Alabama,
discussing meningitis and the sudden
ness with which it attacked human
itv, without premonitory symptoms.
"The most terrible feature of this
dread malady," said Colonel Graves
to Mr. Andrews. "Is that it strikes
one like an unseen hand out of tbe
darkness, and one never knows what
has happened."
With these words—prophetic, In
the light of what Immediately hap
pened—on his lips. Colonel Graves
staggered, and sank to his knees, be
ing dazed and rendered almost uncon
scious by an unseen hand, whicn
struck him violently on the hack of
the head.
“What Is It? Has meqhigitls struck
me? , asked Colonel Graves as soon
as he had recovered front the stunning
blow.
ne was quickly reassured by his
companion, Mr. Andrews, that It was
tot mlnlngitls, but J. H. Crutchfield,
who had struck him.
Crutchfield, who Is a dealer In ma
chinery, recently figured prominently
In the public eye, and in the columns
of the local newspapers by reason of
two sensational divorce suits filed
against him by his wife, who alleged
that he had treated her with cruelty.
Subsequently. Mrs. Crutchfield was
shot one evening several months ugo;
as she was entering her home on S.
Pryor street, by the discharge of a
shotgun In the hands of Crutchfield,
the wound necessitating the amputa
tion of her leg at the knee.
Crutchfield was tried for assault
with intent to murder, but was ap-
qultted, his defense being that his
wife seized his gun, causing Its ac
cidental discharge in trying to wrest
It from hint.
Seeing Colonel Graves struck down
at his feet, and taken as completely
by surprise as was Colonel Graves,
Mr. Andrews turned, and seeing
Crutchfield In a fighting attitude,
Seized Colonel Graves' walking stick,
and struck Crutchfield several times,
the latter warding the blows oft bis
head with his hands and arms.
Crutchfield then backed across the
street, with his hand In his hip pock
et, It Is said, daring Mr. Andrews to
strike him again. About a block fur-'
ther on he made a stand, defying any
one to touch hint.
At this Juncture, Patrolman Terry
appeared on the scene, and placed
Crutchfield under arrest, Immediate
ly releasing him, however, upon a
copy of charges.
Captain Mayo learcnd of this at po
lice headquarters and immediately is
sued orders for Crutchfield's arrest,
which was accomplished by Sergeant
Shepard and Patrolmen Hill and
Childs, near the postofflee about 2
o'clock. He was taken to the bar
racks and released at 4 o'clock upon
depositing 1100.75 collateral for his
appearance before Recorder Broyles
to answer the charge of disorders
conduct.
While not desiring to harshly critl.
else the policeman for releasing
Crutchfield on n copy of charges, Col
onel Graves expressed himself to the
effect that It should not hnve been
done, and probably would not • have
been done had the officer known of
the character of the assault made bv
Crutchfield.
Crutchfield attacked Colonel Graves
because of certain articles publish
ed about him in the Georgian some
months ago, when Crutchfield was an
Inmate of the Tower awaiting trial
upon the chrage of shooting his wife
with intent to murder her.

DAUGHTER ACCUSES FATHER.
Claims That Fowler, of Dothan, Ala.,
Killed Her Mother, and Threaten

Crime.
Dothan, Ala., March 7.—Frank
Fowler, a white man, 35 years old
who lives a short distance south of
this city was arretted and placed In
Jail hero on a charge of murdering
his wife on last Monday night.
Fowler Is a sawmill man, and had
been la Dothan Monday for the pur
pose of selling his plant to parties
here, and states that when -he re
turned home Monday evening his
wife complained of being sick, and
was unable to prepare supper, and re
tired to her bed unusually early.
Thinking her not In a' serious condi
tion. he left her in the care of their
six little children, and went over to
a neighbor’s home to attend a board
sawing and dance.
When he returned late In the eve
ning, Mrs. FVjwler was lying diago
nally. across the bed, and snoring
heavily, which was something very
unusual. Waking her, he found her
to be very ill, and so, measuring a
dose of medicine for her, retired for
the night.
About 1 o'clock Ft!w 1 er awoke, and
found his wife cold in death.
The alarm was given* and neigh
bors were on the scene Immediately,
add the burial look place Tuesday.
Soon after the Interment the report
was out that the woman had met her
death from some virulent doBe. FVjw-
ler was arrested and placed In Jail.
Later Major Adkins, who lived with
the family, was placed under arrrest
as an accomplice to the deed.
As Mrs. Fowler bore a very heavy
Insurance policy It is believed that
the Intention of the criminal was to
to secure her money.
The coroner's Jury returned with
the verdict that the deceased came
to her death at the hands of her hus
band.
The dead body Is In a horrible con
dition, her head being badly bruised,
one Jaw broken, and a heavy foot
print on her bAck, with a number of
other serious bruises over the body.
A young daughter of the man
states that ne killed her mother, and
threatens to kill her If she told.

h1s community, and great excitement
prevails over the awful tragedy. A
preliminary hearing will be given ths

■Women's Pains-
“I was a total wreck,” writes Mrs. Beulah
Rowley, of Champoeg, Oregon, “from pains I h*d.
suffered, for 4 years, every month. Sometimes i
would be unconscious for 12 hours at a stretch. I
did not know that anything could stop the pain
entirely, but Wine of Cardui did. I advise all
women suffering with painful periods to use Car
dui and be relieved.”
It does this by regulating the functions and
toning up all the Internal female organs to health.
It is a pure, specific, reliable, female remedy, with
a record of 70 years of
success. It has bene
fited a million others.

8mall Families Have New Champion.
Chicago, March 13.—Small families
have a new champion In the person of
Professor Edward A. Ross, the uni-
terslty of Wisconsin, sociologist
who combats President Rnotsveit's
theory and lays down a novel rrgu-
ment for the restriction of the human
race. He takes t stand against tTe
popular views of what he calls ;he
hobby riders, and maintain* that the
cause of shrinkage In population Ita*
In the "human will, influenced by ccr.
tain factors which bare roots deen
In tjie civilization of our times/';
These factors, he declares, are de
mocracy. tbe emancipation of women,
the decay of religious beliefs.
That onr American forests abound Id
plants which possess the most valuable
medicinal virtues Is abundantly attested
by scores of tlio most eminent medical
writers and teachers. Even the untu
tored Indians had discovered the useful
ness of many netlve plants before the
advent of tha white race. This Informa
tion, Imparted freely to tho whites, led
the latter to continue Investigations until
to-day we have a rich assortment of moat
Ivaluable American medicinal roots.
■ -5v ^
\ Dr. Pierce believes thst our Amcrlein for
est, abound In most rslusblo medicinal roots
for the cure of most obstlnite and fstsl dis
eases. It we would properly Investlgate them;
and. In conlrmatlon of this conviction, be
points with pride to the almost marvelous
cures effected by bis "Golden Medical Dis
covery.” which has proven Itself to bo tbe
most efficient stomach tonic, liver invlgor-
ntor. heart tonic and regulator, and blood
cleanser known to medical science. Dyspep
sia. or Indigestion, torpid liver, functlonml
end even valvular and other effectlons of
the heart yield to Ite curative action. Tha
reason why It cures these end many other
I effectlons. Is clearly shown In a little book
