"A GIRL TO THE RESCUE.
Deputy Marshals Knocked Scnsclcss
by Il Beautiful Maiden.

Speclal 10 The State.
WILLIAMSON, May lO.--Last night
three United States deputy marshals
swooped down upon B. +. Dacus (of
Cedar Grove notoricty) living some
three miles southeast from Williams
ton, who Is suspected OF running IL
wcak-eyed tiger. Mr.. Dacus did not
tamcIN submit, but with the aid Of bis
sixteen -year-Old son and a fourteen
ycar-old daughter made stout and
successful resistance. Plow stocks.
swinglc-trces, sticks and pistols were
freely used. While the battle ragged
iurlously and long time in even scale
hung" Miss Lucia Dacus, q beautiful
brunette of fine physique and flashing
black eyes, sprang from her room in
nocturnal garments arraycd, and with
one well-directed blow with q club
ielled one of the deputies and Selling
ms pistol covered another with it, thus
enabling her father to secure IL plow
stock, with which he fclled another one
OF the deputies and captured his gun.
1t vas now quite an easy matter to- dis
arm Tie remaining deputy, which was
done.
The deputies being disarmed. fed
prccipiJately for their lives. The con.
qucrng heroes turned the caDtured
guns upon the frightened fugitives and
by the sharp reports of some half
dozen rapidly firing rcvolvcrs acceler-
atcd them in their glorious flight. Ono
OF the Deputies is seriously hurt by
being struck with plow stock. All
are more or less battered and bruised.
1t is said that tho chief deputy, when
he arrived at Polzer, where he has bee n
staying for some tine, sagely remarked
that HI has broken loose in Gcor-
gla" The firing was so rapid and con
tlnuous that ncighborS living mile
or SO from :" OFF tho seat ofwar," has
tened TO the scene, but all that they
saw were threo coat tails streaming in
the breeze and growing beautifully
less and smaller by degrees.

A SENSIBLE FARMER.-Mr. Horny

A SENSIBLE FARMER. Horny
Keller, who lives in the outskirts OF
Yorkville, is thrifty small farmer,
who has worked hard, secured pecuni-
ary independence, and who can give
many of his brother farmers some
valuable points on profitable farming.
" never did raise much cotton" he
said, to a representative OF The En-
quirer the other day. II don't like to
farm just for the sake of handling the
money. Why, one year, ono OF my
neighbors raised thirty bales Of cotton,
and when settling.up time came, he
was unable to pay all his debts. only
raised three bales, paid all my debts,
and had one bale left. Nobody can
make money raising cotton II they ex-
pect to buy anything else that they
could raise themselves"

Hopkins Favors Fairness.

CHICAGO, July 4.-Upon his ar
rival at his office today, Mayor
Hopkins received a letter from the
General Managers association re-
turning the proposition for a
settlement Of the strike as made
by Debs, Sovereign and Howard,
with the information that it
would not be considered.
The mayor forwarded the COM
munication to President Debs. ~
regret the answer is SUCH" said
the mayor. II don't think the rail
road companies should have taken
advantage of such a fair offer in
the interest OF peace, law and or
der. But, Of course, they know
their business better than l do"
CHICAGO, July IA President
Gompers, when asked about the re-.
fusal { f the railway managers to en-
terrain Debs' proposition, said to
day: 81 regret it very much. 1t
was bad for the railroads, bad for
the men and bad for the people.
1t will have, however, no effect on
the action taken by the federation
in declining to order a general
strike"

ITS NORMAL TONE.
Chicago Being Deserted for Cali
fornia as the Seat of War.

CHICAGO, July l4.-Chicago is
very rapidly resuming its normal
condition. The result of :he
federation of labor yesterday sup.
plemented by the meeting Of the
trades assembly last night at
which it was resolved to call Off
the strike and resume work at
once, is accepted universally as
the death blow of the Pullman
boycott.
OF course Debs and Sovereign
are saying that tits not over and
they are going to fight to the Bit
ter end. Debs goes so far as to
say he will tie up every road in
the United States. For the most
part the railroads are taking back
their employees as fast as they
apply and there were a great many
applications this morning. They
are not discharging any Of the
men who were employed to take
the places of the strikers, and such
Of the strikers as are re-employed
are taken as individuals.
Federal troops are getting ready
to leave camp on Lake Front and
have been busy packing and orders
for their departure are expected at
any moment. 1t is believed their
destination is California. The
state troops are also on the move,
but enough will be held in Chi.
cago to prevent any possibility OF
renewed outl reak. 1t my
truthfulIy be said, that, with very
few exceptions, every man in Chi.
cago, whether employed by the
railroads or belonging to the
Building and Trades Council, is
seeking work on practically any
terms offered.

About the General Managers
Association.

CHICAGO, July l4.-President
Debs declared at 80 O'clock today
that the Chicago, Milwaukee and
st. Paul road was tied up this morn

so. The general manager of the

applications than vacancies. He
continued, 1--WE propose to prose-
cute this fight with greater vigor
than ever"

was very satisfactory TO the A. r.

Man Dead - Woman Disappeared,

DALLAS, Texas, July IA. Special
A stranger was found dead yes
terday evening near the village
of Farmers Branch, about ten
miles from Dallas, with his throat
cut. His murder is a mystery
which the officers have thus far,
failed to get clue to. The dead
man was apparently about "A
years of age, clean shaver and
brown hair. He was dressed il
jeans pants, homemade drawers
and socks, and a soft black hat.
There was not a thing on the bOdv
to identify it and no one knows
where the man came from. The
only thing remotely suggesting
the identity Of the murderer is
that a young woman, also stran-
ger, on Thursday last, visited
Farmers Branch and inquired for
a man fully answering the dis
cription of the dead man. The
woman has disappeared.
