able streets Wednesday night, '
It is said that tie buy as stealing a
ride on west bound c.i-v and (n - jump
ingoff turned on tront ot a car that was
bound in an easterly direction: Motor
man Wm. E. Bottoms, of the latter,
brought his carrier to a stop less than
ten feet beyond the spot marking the
accident, but it was too late. The boy's
skull was crushed, his left leg broken'
and he was cut about the body. So clo
sely was the body pinned down that it
Was necessary to use a jack in remov
ing it. The arms were bent beneath the
body and the truck guard of the car
rested on the skull.
' The city ambulance was called, with
Dr. Turman in charge. He saw thatihe 1
victim was dead and so ordered that
the coroner be summoned. An inquest j
will be held by the latter Friday morn
ing.
Mo tor man Bottoms and conductor J.
T. Cook took their car to the barns and
then reported to the First Precinct po
lice station following the fatality. 'They
were placed under f 500 bond eacn for
their appearance before the coroner's
jury.
Shortly before the body was removed
from beneath the car the father and
sister of the dead boy arrived at the
scene. Both were terribly grief strick
en and the girl became so hysterical
that it was necessary to carry her home.

killed by a vigilance committee In Tex
as in ..1884. lawyers from three states
are delving into court records at Dur
ham, N. C, Greenville, S. C, and in
Marshall county, Tex.
. Potter, who for three terms was a
member of .the North Carolina legisla
ture, left this state 76 years ago and
invested in wild Texas lands which re
cently developed natural gas and oil
wells.
In 1844 Potter's wild cat business
methods aroused the people of Marshall
county, Texas against him and he was
driven from his home and killed. Since
the property, which was his, has devel
oped great value, numerous claimants
have appeared. Potter was twice mar
ried and his second wife, who was much
younger than he, still lives and is a
centenarian.

William Baab, of Washington,
Probably Fatally Shot by
Oyster Navy Boat Crew
Washington, u. V. Sept. 30 As a
result of the alleged gross carelessness
on the part f some one aboard the
Virginia State police boat "James Riv
er, "near Colonial Beach, Wednesday
William E. Raab, of this oity, is in a
serious condition at Provident i Hospit
al here with a bullet bole through his
body.
Mr, Raab, accompanied by Thomas
Morrill, William Pigott snd H. J. Jus
nemann, all of this city, were fishing at
Colonial Beach Wednesday. Oyster
dredgers were working about a-quartei
of a mile down the river. The police
boat, in command of Captain W, Hud
son was seen coming up the river. ' As
it spproached, the oystermeri, who are
ssid to have been dredging illegally,
sailed away. The police boat was then'
about half a mile away, when: a shot
was fired from a gun. With the report
of the gun Mr. Raab, who was : sitting
in the bow of the boat fell forward in
to the bottom of the boat. The bullet
had passed through his back, out of his
abdomen and lodged in the cafe of his
right leg. He was brought to this city
W ednesaay nignt.
The members of the party declared
that the shooting was a piece of gross
carelessness. They stated they could
plainly see the police boat. Captain
Hudson, however, declared to the fish
ermen at Colonial Beach he was unable
to see the boat. Mr. Morrill and Mr.
Juenemann said today that ' Captain
Hudson had informed residents of Col
onial Beach that lie thought the fisher
men were not in the range of the gun,
six shots were tired at the fleeing oys-
termen, one hitting Mr.' Raab, while
another is said to have come within a
short distance of Mr, Morrill's head.

FALL SEASON 1910. CONDITIONS GIVE GREAT PROMISE.
The cloud of gloom which seems to settle over this community as a result of conditions brought about by the backward Spring is lifting and the sun
of prosperity is now shining on many who were disposed to ba pessimistic, at leaat doubtful about immediate future.
This change is due in main to the crop prospects which are much better than the most sanguine a few weeks ago could hope for, in fact indications
now are for more than an average yield in all of the staples which go to the making of good times ar.it even for more than an average yield in - the
chief corn crop; the South of course is dependent on cotton for 4ts prosperity and prospects for this an good,' but even should the yield not come to expec
tations the recent increase in price would go to make up the difference, and while the country as a whole is benefitted by a big cotton crop the South 'J
as an offset when there is a shortage. With good crops will come a decrease in living expenses and the more that can be saved f rem' the, table the more ;
there is left for the adorment of the person to analize the situation in all of its elements of strength, the fall of 1910 is full of promise for as all. ' .
As the fall season will soon be in full swing, in preparation for the same we have broadened the scope and increased the tines of each 'department, we
take the liberty of suggesting to you the great importance of a personal visit to our store. It la perhaps unnecessary to enumerize the many advantages -
to be obtained by coming to us. We have space only to point out a few redeeming points.
Our Millinery Department is full of the richest colorings and styles the world's market affords; this, will surely be a variety season in regards to shapes
snd materials. We find a tendency to hold to the large Bhapes which have been bo popular, and yet there are a great variety of turbans and small shapes
being used, this will give the milliner a better opportunity to please her customers a it will not be necessary to compel buyers to take the only shape in '
vogue whether becoming or not. The large hats have a tendency to broaden in the back and narrow in front, brims drooping considerably. Smaller hats J
have high brims rolled close to the crown, this is very effective, terbons are made with high crowns, mostly body of hats are Felta, Beavers, Satin, Cord-
S3
ed Silk, Velvet and Velvet combined with Silks and Satin ?, . ' '; "" V 4 ' ' ' . ':.
The wise Dry Goods Merchant of the day realizes that competition is so keen that he would Veep his customers he must bind them with- a chain that j
