blanket was thrown over his mead by
two other men. He was then dragged
from his vehicle across the road and into
a dense thicket the men drew the
blanket so tightly around his head that

resistance. The men then went through
the pockets IN the coat and secured the
wallet. Taking this, and supposinG that
they had secured all the money, the
thieves made preparations for escape.
They first made sure that the alarm
would not be. given until they mad

As if he had been nothing but bundle
of old clothes. Mr.. Husbands was rolled
i'm the blanket. Rope and traps were
produced and, despite his struggles he
was tied up, head and all, anu left IN
the bushes. The garroters then beat
hasty retreat in the direction from which
ilr. Husbands had come. 1t was between
I 80 and s o'clock when he was robbed,
and after struggling and working about
two hours he succeeded in freeing him
self He then walked home and told Of
his adventure. Word was sent 10 nearby
farm houses, and, although a search was
made no clue To the thieves was found.
Yesterday the affair was reported TO the
authorities IN tnlS city. Mr. husbands
saw three men. but does not know how
many NOR. were in the party that robbed
him.
The general superstition is that some
one living in the vicinity knew Mr.. HUs-

CHICAGO, Nov 23.-The North Ameri-

The methods OF the company were de-
ciared to be fraudulent and it's officers

her husband, Joseph Humphreys, a cOlOred
couple. formerly residing in Atlanta, Ga,
were ccmplainants The evidence given
in court was to the effect that HumDh-

uties was crowded to-day, the occasion
being the debate on the question OF

present almost without exception, con
spicuous among them being United States
Ambassador Eustis.
The principal speeches were made by
NJ. CASTOR DenYille- MaillefeauX, extreme

supported the credit. NJ. Julien Dumas

ed the Chamber that the minimum eXpen-

9OOO0OO0 francs and that the campaign
would certainly require 30.WC troops both
monetary and military requirements being
overwhelmingly in excess Of the credit
asked and the military forces author
lied. All this, he declared would even
tually benefit England.

fairs, replied TO NJ. Dumas i'm speech
which aroused great enthusiasm, and at
its conclusion evoked tremendous APP

The NEST noteworthy part of VI. Hano-
tauXs speech was as follows:
France had founded in Madagascar
establishments employing more tnan lV,VJ
men. Did any loyal Frenchman tnlnk
that these should be abandoned? The
question pressed for decision. The Cham
Der had it's choice between developing the
protectorate and withdrawing French in
f1uence entirely from their country. This
alternative was presented sharply ana
without choice OF compromise by us

protectorate and the Government had
adopted it with all the necessary conse-
quences. The French residents Of Tama-
tave implored Frances protection. Would

demonstration would be useless The plan

that would reach the end In view

statement as true. The property was
decided to her. and she never had the
