MARSHALL, Tex, Sept. t.
A negro named Gregory, claiming to have
authority from the State Adjutant- General,
attempted to form military company at
Marshall, Tex, last Saturday. One hundred
blacks were assembled, when a committee
of whites waited upon them, and
warned them to disband. The citizens then
held meeting, and asked the ADJ

the interests of peace. Afterward the
whites sent another committee, who found
the rendezvous guarded by dozen armed
blacks, one of whom, on their approach,
called out ''Halt,n and Immediately fired

4 Point for WOOdchoppers.

AS the woodchopping season is at
hand, many IA lazy bones who breads
to go to work on the woodpile will
thank the TINES for new point that
will greatly facilitate his work. 1t is
from that bright paper, the Virginia
(Nev.) Chronicle, and as follows:
This forenoon quite crowd stood
watching an Indian woodchopper at
work on G street, in front of Dick
Hennessy's saloon. He was a right
sta wart buck, and the way he split
the heavy, watersoaked logs was a
caution. He had a trick Of the trade
that everybody commented on. After
every few strokes of his axe he would
grease his blade with piece of fat,
just as saw is creased. The result
was that whether or not the blow
split the piece Of wood, the AK would
rebound out of the cleft, thereby ia
cilitatin the worhg.

A COMPLICATED CASE.
man Alleged to Have Been Illegally
Confined in the County JAIL. o.
SWIFT 4 Co. Sued for Damages.

Lafayette Harris, the man brought
back from Logan, Utah, a couple OF
weeks ago at the instance of j. @.
Swift Il Co.. was finally let out of the
county Jail to-day, at 2 o'clock, and it
is not probable that he will be placed
there again on any charge arising out
Of this case.
1T appears that, sometime ago, J. O..
Swift \ Co. made some sort of an ar.
rangement by virtue of which Lafav-
cite Harris was to repay them, in
trade, for team and wagon which
they bought for him, to enable him to
prosecute his business of burning and
selling charcoal. Shortly before the 1st
instant Harris disappeared. \ com
plant was sworn out, and Ike Bing-
ham started after him. He found him

tarlly accompanied the Deputy Sheriff
back to Haley, arriving here on the
Sd instant.
AS soon as he got here he was in
carcerated in the county Jail, and has
been there ever since, until : o'clock
this afternoon.
After having been in Jail about five
days, Angel e. Sullivan and Lvttleton
irce, counsel for Harris, obtained his
liberation on a writ Of habeas corpus.
Harris was at once re-arrested on a
charge Of grand larceny and kept til!
Thursday of this week, when this
charge was dismissed, and he was re-
arrested on bench warrant, on a
charge of fraudulently disposing Of
his property with intent to defraud his
creditors, J. O. Swift & Co. On this
charge the grand jury found true
bill.
This morning Angel & Sullivan and
Lyttleton Price appeared in the Dis
trict Court and demurred to the in
dictment on the ground that the per-
sons alleged to have been defrauded
were not sufficiently specified in the
indictment by the words ''and Co."
The demurrer was sustained and Har-
ris discharged.
Lyttleton Price and Angel 6 Sull-
van, as counsel for Harris, are now pre-
pairing a complaint claiming $4,000
from J. O. Swift & Co. as actual and
exemplary damages suffered by the
illegal imprisonment of Lafayette Har-
ris.

e.. F. Annette, General MANAGER Of

Company, arrived this morning from
Salt Lake, the headquarters of the
company, and went on up to Ketchum,
70 see whatearrangements can be made
and inducements held out to the
company, to construct the telephone
ilne TO that point.
The Rocky Mountain Bell Telc.
phone Company has hardly completed
the purchase of the sole right to the
Territories of Wyoming, Montana,
Utah and Idaho, yet it has already
taken steps to bring the telephone in
to use all over its territory. 1t now
has ii exchanges in successful oper.
alton, with an aggregate of about l.
ooo instruments in use. Following is
a list OF the exchanges, with the num-
Der OF instruments in use at each. and
the monthly rate charged for the
same:4
In Montana.-Helena, IS tele-
phones, So per month; Butte-15, IS;
Deer Lodge-1O, IS.
In Wyoming.--Laramle CITY 20,
80; Cheyenne-15O, S..
In Utah.-Park City 60, S. to $40,
according to distance from central Of
fee; Proyo-35, So; Salt Lake-3GO,
IS to $40 average $6) ;Ogden,-13o,
IS; Logan SO, S..
In Idaho.-Hailey-25, So.
The rates vary according to cost of
constructing and operating line; and
when an exchange gets to 100 in
the rates are generally re-
duced. The capital stock of the com
pany is 100000, divided into 5000
shares Of the par value of 800 each.
Mr.. Annette's headquarters were,
until the first Of last September, in
and he entertains high
opinion of that place which, he consid.
ers, is more enterprislny than any other
town in this western country. The
average deposits Of the banks exceed
100000, while one association
the Stock Growers Represents
over s5o,O0O,00O OF capital. The city
S lighted by the electric light, there
'eing 100 lights in the place.
The cost Of the lights to the town
lverages - cents per light, per night.
The tarin is as follows: Up to 10
o'clock, GO cents per light; to mid
light, 70 cents; all night, 81. The
liant cost about $50, 900.
This is fora large plant, however.
COR one-circuit plant, to furnish 20
ights, Mr.. Annette thinks that an en-
'enditurc of $4,000 would be suff-
lent, almost anywhere; and here,
'here water-power can be had cheaply,
lesser sum might do. However that
nay be, he has no doubt but that if
% per cent Of the capital necessary to
ight HALEY by electricity is raised
'ere, the remainder can easily be OBJ
aimed in Salt Lake, Ogden, or Chey-
,nne. This suject will be taken up
md considered next summer.
