The freight train, was given thirty
minutes to make Azusa and meet the
westbound passenger, but the order de
livered to the freight crew read "fifty
minutes," and the trains came together
at great speed.
Both engines were demolished, the
mail and baggage car telescoped and
the day coach badly damaged, going
in the ditch. The Pullmans did not
leave the track.
The track was blocked for several
ihours.

FIFTEEN OFFICERS ON
THE TRAIL OF JACKSON.
Every Effort Being Made to Captnre
the Desperado.
Huntington. W. Va., Nov. 12.—Chief
of Police Nash of Thurmond enlisted
fifteen special policemen here to-night
and has started out in pursuit of Ed
ward .Tackson, who shot and killed
Sheriff Daniels at Montgomery on
Wednesday. .Tackson is headed this
way, accompanied by a number of his
friends, and orders were given the spe
cials to shoot to kill if resistance was
offered. Chief Nash will continue his
march all night toward Montgomery,
and expects to capture Jackson to
morrow.
Twenty warrants have been Issued
for the arrest of friends of the Jack
sons who beat off the posse which at
tempted to arrest Jackson when he
came into the city to-day to attend the
funeral of his brother. It is feared
serious trouble will follow the attempt
to serve the warrants.
The excitement which prevailed when
Jackson appeared in Montgomery had
scarcely subsided when it was report
ed that Morris Adkins was shot and
Tom. O’Neil brutally beaten and robbed
by Sam Core, who is believed to be a
member of the Jackson crowd.
The affair took place on Laurel creek
and Core was not apprehended until
he fought a. pistol duel with Deputy
Sheriff A. C. Hill, who attempted to
arrest him. A mob of miners formed
to lynch Core, but he was spirited
away before the mob could take him.

Governor of West Virginia. Offer.
S3OO for Hint, Dead or Alive.
Charleston, W. Va., Nov. 12. —Gov.
White to-day offered a reward of SSOO
for the capture of Ed Jackson, dead
or alive, and SIOO for the capture of
George Jackson, his brother.
The other two of the Jackson broth
ers are in jail here, along with Po
liceman Elliott, who killed Constable
Jackson and started the feud.
Chief of Police Hundley has also
been put in Jail here. It is charged
that he was holding Daniel when
Jackson shot him. Hundley had re
mained in Charleston after bringing
Elliott here, being advised by friends
to remain here on account of the feel
ing against him in Montgomery. He
was arrested on a warrant.
APPEARED TO ATTEND
BROTHER’S FUNERAL
Huntington, W. Va., Nov. 12.—A tele
phone message from Montgomery says:
Ed Jackson, who shot down Sheriff
R. Daniel at Montgomery on Wednes
day, appeared at Montgomery to at
tend the funeral of his brother, who
was killed by Policeman Elliott. Jack
son was guarded by a crowd of his
friends, who were heavily armed.
When it became known that Jack
son was in the city, ‘another posse was
organized and attempted to secure
Jackson. In this effort they were foil
ed, for when the posse charged on
Jackson and his friends, the latter drew
guns and beat back the posse, who re
treated.
There was much excitement at Mont
gomery, when it became known that
Jackson was in the city, and for a
time riot was imminent.
SAYS HE WAS PRAYING
WHEN JAIL DOOR OPENED.
Out Then Walked Tvro Condemned
Alabama Murderer*.
Dothan, Ala., Nov. 12. —Jesse Barfield
and Thad Pennington, white men, sen
tenced yesterday to life imprisonment
for alleged murder in the first degree,
broke Jail last night. Complete and
baffling mystery envelopes their es
cape. Sheriff Walker says they were
locked in a steel oage. The Jail was a
new one. The Jail door was found
standing open this morning, and the
lock in good working order.
A report readied here later in the
day that Barfield had committed sui
cide at the home of a cousin in Head
land by pulling the trigger of a shot
gun with his toe. The sheriff has gone
to the scene of the reported suicide.
Pennington left a note saying that
the killing for which he was convicted
was In self-defense. He says In the
note that the sheriff was not to blame
for the escaipe, but that he was on his
knees 'praying when the door flew open,
as in the Biblical case of Paul and
Silas.
Judge Pearce has taken the matter
under consideration, but has taken no
action.
ARCHBISHOP CHAPELLE BACK.
While In Rome the Prelate Wo* Re

New York, Nov. 12. —Mgr. Chapelle,
Archbishop of New Orleans, Cuba and
Porto Rico, arrived here to-day on the
steamer Da Lorraine from Havre, aft
er a stay of several weeks in Rome.
He said he had a most enjoyable trip
abroad. On Oct. 28 he had an audi
ence with the Pope and was most
kindly received. He will go to Wash
ington at once and thence to New
Orleans and Cuba and Porto Rico.
The Archbishop said that he was the
bearer of a message to President
Roosevelt from Pope Pius.

Richmond, Va., Nov. 12.—There was
a daring, though unsuccessful, at
tempt to rob the National Bank of
Manassas, Va., last night. The vault
was entered and the smaller of two
safe* therein was broken open. The

was $16,000, proved too strong for the
burglars.
The latter secured S3OO worth of

Body Was Taken to Japan—Succes
sion to Hi. Command.
Moscow, Nov. 13.—Nemirovlch Dan
chenko, the well-known Russian war
correspondent of the Associated Press,
telegraphing from Mukden under to
day’s date, says the reports of the
death of Gen. Kuroki are confirmed.
According to his version, the splinter
of a shell struck Gen. Kuroki, tearing
out a portion of his breast. He died
Oct. 4 at Liao Yang and his body was
sent to Japan.
A rumor is persistently circulated
that a kinsman of the Mikado, Siao
sanai, literally “Little Third Prince,”
has been appointed to succeed Gen.
Kuroki, but the actual command of the
army has been entrusted to Gen.
Nodzu, who is reviewing operations.
Aeeonnt of Operation..
“For the last five weeks,” says Dan
chenko, “we have practically not ad
vanced at any point on the whole
southwestern front even a few versts
further than we stood on Oct. 5. On
the contrary, we at several places
have been obliged to retire several
versts, but the present lfnes of defense
must be considered permanent in view
of the strong fortifications construct

—
ei*al points are only 800 paces distant
from ours and must be considered to
be definitely occupied by the enemy.
“The latter's fortifications are ac
knowledged by all competent persons
to be skilfully constructed. Their
trenches in many places are so clever
ly concealed as not to be noticeable a
short distance away, the e’arth remov
ed being carefully thrown in front of
the trenches. The general position
causes a great tension on both sides.
“Alarming news has been received
from Port Arthur, but the absence of
reports during the last few days
makes it evident that the movement
of one of the other Russian armies will
be dependent upon the course of events
there.
“On Nov. 11, scouts on our right flank
attempted to pierce the line of the
Japanese fortifications, but were met
with a stubborn resistance and. finding
the enemy strongly reinforced, retir
ed.”
VOLLEYS OF ABUSE
ARE NOW EXCHANGED.
Mukden, Nov. 12.—Quiet continues
everywhere along the front. The
weather has become almost like
summer. One large village to the
south is occupied, half by Russians
and half by Japanese. Both sides sit
in their huts and shout, “Get out of
here; this Is our village,” yell the
Japanese. “Get out yourselves,” an

Then follow volleys of abuse.

LIFE OF ANDREW JACKSON

New York, Nov. 2.—Thomas E. Wat
son, candidate of the People's parly
for President in the recent- election,
declines to say anything regarding
politics to-day. He said he was pre
paring a statement on the political sit
uation, but that it would not be ready
for publication before Monday morn
ing.
Regarding the report that he con
templated transferring his residence to
this city and that he would accept
an editorial position on a newspaper
here, Mr. Watson said;
“My home is in Thomson, Ga., and
it, will continue to be there. I intend
tft go ahead with a work which was
interrupted when I was offered this
nomination —a life of Andrew Jack
son."
He added that it was his intention
to confer with the national and suite
committeemen of his own party be
fore returning to his home in the
South.
“Have you conferred with the lead
ers of the Democratic party?" Mr.
Watson was asked.
“No,” he replied. “The statements
given out by both Mr. Bryan and Mr.
Hearst precluded anything like that,
however willing I should have been to
hold such conferences.”
Mr. Watson said he had not sent a
message of congratulation to President
Roosevelt on his election. I differ
with the gentlemen who believe In the
propriety of such messages,” said Mr.
Watson, “but do not wish to criticise
them. They have a right to their opin
ions, and I hope I have a right to
mine.” _
THREE DUELS IwTmJAY.
One Frenchman Received a Cat on
the Hoiiil—Others Unscathed.
Paris, Nov. 12.—Two duels, growing
out of the assault on War Minister
Andre by Deputy Gabriel Syveton In
the Chamber of Deputies Nov. 4, were
fought to-day. Lieut. Andre, a son of
the minister, met Count De La Roche
toulona, deputy. Swords were used.
Lieut. Andre was slightly wounded.
Elsewhere In the suburbs, M. Syve
ton fought Capt. Gail, representing
Gen. Andre. Two shots with pistols
were exchanged, but neither of the
combatants was injured.
The seconds in both duels were prom
lneht deputies and army officers, thus
emphasizing the bitterness which has
arisen between the army and parlia
mentary circles. Both encounters took
place on army reservations.
The Andre-De La Rochetulona duel
was fought on the artillery field at
Vincennes, and the encounter between
M. Syveton and Capt. Gall occurred on
the parade ground at St. Germain. The
Marquis De Dion directed the Syveton-
Gall contest. The parties left the field
unreconciled.
Gen. and Mme. Andre, while the
duel was In progress, waited for their
son at Vincennes. Lieut. Andre's
wound was hart an inch deep and on
his right hand. He lost considerable
blood.
A third duel was fought during the
day In the Pare Des Princes, between
the Marquis D’Asmet and the Mar
quis De Fourquleres. Pistols at twen
ty-five paces were used. Neither of
the duelists was hit.

Vienna, Nov, 12.—Many heads were
broken In a fierce conflict between
German and Italian students at the
university to-day, the fight arising
from the recent troubles at Innsbruck.
The Germans took the aggressive.
They started singing the "Wacht Am
Rllein” with uncovered heads and de
manded that all the other students re
move their hats. The Italians, Slavs
and other non-Germans refused to do
So, whereupon the Teutons forcibly
knocked off their opponents’ headgear

the dust. '
The. Italians then started a counter
demonstration on the university steps
and sang the national hymn of Italy.
The Germans then attacked the Ital
ians and drove them from their posi
tion.
Sticks and umbrellas were freely
used and many heads were cracked,
but no arrests were made, as the fight
