| A little encounter took place at Quit
man while the Marshal was endeavOring
TO arrest one Williams, who had imbibed
| too feeely of the spirits. When within
about 100 yards of the jail two brothers
of Williams made their appearance, and
after n rough and tumble fight succeeded
in rescuIng the prisoner from the hands
of the Marshal. Before such trouble was
anticipated the Marshars pistol was
| snatched from him. Though he struggled
! bravely, he was forced to succumb. Be

Milton Superior Court has just ad-
| journed. Among the questions of inter-
est decided by his honor, Judge Brown,
was one OF general interest to the stock
| law communities over the State. The
court decided that stock that goes from
a militia district when the stock law Is
not in force into one where it has been
declared to be in effect, but has not been
fenced by the Ordinary as the statute
provides, is subject to be impOunded by
the owners OF land in the last named dis
triot, and held for the satisfaction of the
damage done. The court said that merely
because the Ordinary of the county had
| failed to do as the statute directed him
was no bar to the law going into effect in
| the districts that had adopted 1t, and the
citizens of such a district could not be
deprived of its benefits because Of any
such failure Of duty ON the part of the
/ Ordinary.
Minnie Hidell, of Macon, takes in board
ers. One of the boarders Carrie Deese J
| became indebted to her landlady, and in
! turn grew sick with an attack of conges-
tive fever. This greatly enraged the
woman Hidell, and she ordered her sick
boarder to leave. Carrie was too sick to
move. Fever had affected her brain, and
she was worse than a lunatic. Hidell re.
| fused to allow her, in her sick condition,
| to occupy bed, and she was forced to
sleep on the floor. Not girl in the house
was permitted to go near her, and the
woman was in terrible fix. Finally this
/ state of affairs came to the knowledge
! of Lieut.. Wiley, of the police force. The
officer carried the city physician down to
! the house. When they arrived the wO-
man was lying on the floor, with scarcely
any clothing on. Her whole system was
benumbed, and the physician found much
| difficulty in restoring her to conscious
ness. She had been in this state about
three DAYS. The Hidell woman was
forced to care for the sick woman on the
threat of being locked up In the city bar
| racks. Carrie Deese, though very sick,
| has had no medical attention, and has not
touched a mouthful to eat or drink in
three whole days.
