Elgin, 111., Aug. 25.—There was
every promise of a record-breaking
crowd today to witness the Western
road classic of 305 miles for the El
gin national trophy. It was estimat
ed that 20,000 persons w’ere scatter
ed about the course two hours be
fore the race began.
66 May Win
Harry Grant, two time Vanderbilt
cup winner, and Ralph Mulford, wan
ner of the event last year, figured
that the car which could average 66
miles an hour would prove the vic
tor, but there was considerable bet
ting that the victor would have to
make 67 to 68 miles to capture the
cup.

Special to The News.
Raleigh, N. C., Aug. 26.—Testimony
by J. B. Norcum, of the soldier’s home,
that he saw the hack with J. B. Bissett
and Mrs. Ada Yerby pass that way on
the night of August 12th and that
there was a man on the outside riding
behind on the axle w'ho was large and
broad shouldered as is L. J. Norris
and that he dropped off the back soon
after passing the home, was the most
notable new evidence presented today
in the preliminary hearing of L. J. Nor
ris, charged with the murder of J. B.
Bissett that resulted last evening in
binding Norris over to superior court
by Police Justice Walter Watson.
Chief of Police Steel told of his inves
tigation of the killing and examination
of the scene in the woods one and .a
half miles east of the city. The undei-
taker and the physicians who exam
ined and handled the body of Bissett
testified as to their findings Dr. R. J.
Freeman telling of his examination of
the wound and extracation of the bul
let. Mrs. Ada Yerby, the w'oman in the
case, told of the drive in a hack with
Lozier as he did last year, said Norris and Bissett while they w’ere
while waiting to start that the track
was about three miles faster this
year than last.

Mrs. Yerby was recalled and told of
very harsh things that Bissett said of
Norris in the hack after he left it and

Macon, Ga., August 26. —
An altercation between two negro
beli “hops” as to the division of a tip
from a departing guest at the Elder
hotel, Indian Springs, last night, led
to a clash between the blacks and offi
cers at a later hour during which one
deputy sheriff wa& killed, two others
injured, several persons more or less
injured in minor fights. .
The dead officer is Jesse Slnglely,
of Jackson, a married man with fami
ly, who, with Sheriff Crawford, of Butt
county, and nine other deputies, was
searching for the negroes who start
ed the trouble. Deputy Connor was shot
through the thigh and Deputy Thorn
ton wa& shot in the leg.
The shooting occurred Just as the
officers neared the negro quarters and
was from ambush. At the time the
asasult was made none of the officers
had fired and did not intend to if they
could make the arrests w'ithout resort
ing to fire arms.
Judge Daniels is holding S'uperior
court at Jackson, and has ordered the
Jackson Rifles out, and is holding
them in readiness to go to Indian
Springs, which is a distance of about
three miles.
Long distance telephone messages
from Indian Springs to Macon late this
afternoon state that it is likely that
trouble wall ensue after darkness, and
it is highly probable that the rifle
company will be ordered out before
darkness.
There are five or six hotels at In
dian Springs and It was stated this af
ternoon that all of them might be
forced to close because of the trouble.
Dinner was served at all of the hotels,
but there was a general packing up
among the guests, and it is not believ
ed that the usual big Sunday crowds
will go there tomorrow.
Bill and J. E. Turner, two negroes,
who are suspected of having taken
part in the shooting, were arrested
during the night and taken to At
lanta by Sheriff Crawford for safe
keeping. At the time they were tak
en through Jackson but few per
sons know of the trouble, and that
fact alone is responsible for the rea
son that there was not serious
trouble then.

22 Victims oj^Lehigh Valley
Passenger Train,
Broken Rail Caused Train to
Take Jump—Probably All oj
the 50 Injured Will Live—
Coronefs Inquest to Be Held
Monday,
By Associated Press.
Manchester, N. Y., Aug. 26.—A car
load of rough pine boxes was delivered
here today and before daylight farm
ers and villagers began carting them
to the temporary morgue where lay
22/1^ bodies of those who were killed
yesterday in the wreck of the Lehigh
Valley train on the trestle over Cana-
daigua creek. These 22, with three
others in the morgue at Rochester,
probably will complete the list of dead
unless more deaths occur among the
fifty or sixty injured.
Broken Rail the Cause.
It was now estimated that the wreck
was caused by a broken rail. Three
cars out of the train of fourteen
plunged from the track. The train was
bound from Buffalo to Jersey City and
a majority of those aboard were on
their way to homes in New Jersey
and eastern Pennsylvania.
One Lady Will Die.
One, woman, now at Thompson
Memorial hospital, Canadaigua, has a
fractured skull and cannot live, but
so far as known the other injured
will recover.
Hunting for Injured.
■ Coroner Eiseline has been making
careful efforts to obtain the names of
the injured, but as many were taken
away to various cities including Gene*
va, Canadaigua, Rochester and smaller
intermediate places a complete list
is almost impossible to compile.
All Wires Busy.
Linemen have strung temporary
wires around the wreck and across
the bi§ gulf and although piled up
with official buBir.«8s the wires are
now beginning to hear inquiries from
anxious persons which it is expected
will lead to additional identifications.
One Line Into Town.
At present, at Shortsville, acessible
by rail only from a branch of the New
York Central, scarcely a dozen refu
gees from the wreck have come to
make bonaflde efforts at identification.
Eleven Identified.
This morning 11 of the 22 bodies in
the Shortsville morgue had not been
identified. They include nine women,
one man, and a six year old child
whose mother is said to be one of the
unidentified dead.
Coroner Talks.
Coroner Eiselin said this morning:
“I have decided to hold the inquest
on Monday in the town hall in Shorts*
ville. I am getting out subpoenas for
the train crew, railroad track inspec
tors, passengers and eye witnesses. It
will be impossible to hold any inquest
today. The public service commission
of the second district has three offi
cials here under the direction of Arch*
ibald Buchanan.”
Sixteen Undertakers Work.
A staff of 16 undertakers worked all
night embalming bodies and in remov*
ing, w’here possible, the scars made
by the wreck.
Poor Place for Morgue.
The place selected for a morgue was
ill-adapted for this purpose. It waH
in the basement of a country furniture
store. As fast as the bodies were
brought in they were placed side by
' side on cheap wire cots and soon filled
the cellar.
Patients Will Live.
At the Willard hospital it was re-
ported that the patients would live.
Clearing up Scene.
A gang of 200 Italians with two
st^am derricks was busy all night at
the scene of the wreck and a greater
part of the wrecked cars, excluding
those at the bottom of the gully, were
removed and the main line was clear
ed before midnight so that trains
might cross the bridge slowly.
Personal Effects Unclaimed. .
A roomful of personal effects still re
mained piled up in the Manchester

mound with half a dozen soft hats oi
