Then Stamped Upon by an Infu.
rated Mule.
(By the United Press

SEBLwAING, Mich, June ia
terrible fight between man and an
infuriated mule occurred in Hey
mans blacksmith shop Wednesday.
The mule had an aversion to being
shod and had to be thrown.
Heyman said he would shoe that
mule in the regular way or die.
With the help of three men Hey
man finally fixed the shoes and went
to the door to cool off. He had
hardly done so when the mule broke
away from the man holding him,
and with distended jaws made for
Heyman. The mule chased Hey
man all around the shop, shot his
swapping jaws to Heymans face and
bit off the nose and lower right
cheek. He fell to the floor and the
mule deliberated pounded his pros
trated body. The doctors fear Hey
man will die of poison from the foam
flecked lips of the mule

4 MUSIC TEACHERS ESCA.
PADE.
Miss GOrham Buys Goods and Calls
in Doctors, Then Escapes.

The Charlotte News publishes
the following very extraordinary
news:
T. L. Seigle & Co., have in their
possession two trunks, the proper
ty of Miss Evelyn Gorham, of New
York, young lady who has been
employed in Charlotte for nine
months past as music teacher in
the Charlotte Female Institute, and
also as a singer in the choir of the
First Presbyterian church. The
trunks were levied on for debt, and
were seized at the Richmond &
Danville depot at five o'clock last
Saturday morning, as Miss Gorham
was leaving for Morehead City, to
attend the Teachers Assembly.
The story is a peculiarly strange
one. Miss Gorham is young lady
of most attractive manners, is
fine singer and an accomplished mu-
sician. Her father lives in New
York. She was engaged last fall
as a music teacher at the Charlotte
Female Institute, and in that ca
pacity she gave the greatest salts
faction. She has a fine voice, and
made quite material addition to
her salary by taking a place in the
choir of the First Presbyterian
chnrch. Of course, during her nine
months stay here, she had many
purchases to make, and by virtue
Of the position she held, she had no
litliculty in getting all the goods she
wanted on credit. Last week, as
he time for her departure drew
rear, the merchants began to press
Ter for settl nents; and the result
was odd. She owed Seigle q Co.,
$50, and walking into the store, told
Ir. Thad Seigle that she was go
,ng away, but couldn't pay her bill.
Mr.. Seigle asked her what was she
,oing to do about it? ''Oh, nothing" !"
he laughed. After some parley,
II which she guyed the merchant,
Nr. Seigle told her that he would
'onsult his lawyers. The young
ady chaffed him at the idea, told
him goodbye" and sailed out. Mr..
Srigle did consult his lawyers, and
he result was that when Miss
iorham reached the depot next
morning with her two trunks, an
officer levied on the trunks anC
,lought them to Seigle's store
When the officer told the youns
ady his business, she remarked il
IN Indifferent way: "Well, l sup
,ose you can take them and / viii
write back to Mr.. Seigle." The
,fficer brought the trunks up tow1
md Miss Gorham went on TO More
head.
. She owed Baruch a big bill, Sill

A Suit Decided Against
Him for Collecting
Illegal Tariffs,
4 Phalodelphia HIT Trimming Firm
Sued the Government for COL
lectlmg 80 per- cent. Instead
Of 30 on Imports.
(By the United Press.)

PHILADELPHIA, June 19.-The
jury IN the Meyer and Dickinson
test case against the Government to
recover alleged excessive duties paid,
on importations of hat trimmings
returned a verdict this morning in
the United States Circuit in favor
of the plaintiffs.
The plaintiffs claimed that the
goods were liable to only twenty
per cent. duty while the custom
house officials held that they were
dutiable at 80 per cent.
By this verdict the government
is made liable for about twenty
millions that it has collected in
duties from importers of millinery
materials in various parts Of the
country.
The suit of Meyer and Dickinson
was a test suit and was intended tc
test the right of the Government tc
collect the duties on the goods in
dispute.
The government will probably
appeal the case to the Supreme
Court of the United States.
