BLUEBILLs GIVE BATTLE.
A Rival Organization Makes 1t Hot
for Tennessee Whitecaps.

Washington. Oct. ga special from
Knoxville, Tenn, says: Tor two years
there has existed in Sewer county a large
organization Of whitcaps. They have
committed many outrages on defenseless
citizens, and especially women and col
ored people. Some weeks ago another
gang was organized in opposition, which is
known as the "Bluebllls." Last night
body of white caps started out to do a
man who lives five miles from SeVierville
1t happened that this man was a Blue
bill" and he hastily summoned his gang
together. About twenty of them secreted
themselves in a dense thicket of laurel
Shortly before midnight they heard the
approach of the whitecaps. AS they ap-
preached the thicket the "Bluebills"
opened fire with Winchesters and pitched
battle ragged for several minutes Two
whttecaps, Laban Latham and John Kib-
bic, were killed and several others in
jured. The "Bluebills" lost one man. Filth
man Allen, a prominent farmer Two or
three others Of their clique were badly

SAFETY BOXES ROBBED.
Omaha's Police and Bank officials I'm
able to Unravel tho Mystery.

Omaha, Neb, Oct. 26-The fact was
made public this afternoon that the safety
deposit vault section of the Omaha Ma
tionaI bank had been robbed, and so
dexterously that no clue to the manner
in which the work was done is obtainable.
Large sums of money have been taken
from boxes in the vault and the exact
amount of the loss cannot be known
till all have been examined. The discov-
cry was made more than two weeks ago
and every precaution had been taken by
the bank officials to keep the matter
secret. The chief of police and one of his
detectives have been working Industrious
~ upon the case, and j. H. Mil
lard, president of the Omaha National
bank, has given the largest share of his
time since the discovery to an effort to
unravel the mystery surrounding the
case.
The principal loser is William Gladish
Last March he placed in his box 81, 700 in
gold. On Oct. 8 he discovered that about
1900 of the amount was missing. lie at
once notified Mr.. Willard and the investi-
cation commenced. So far, however, all
efforts to discover the manner in which the
money was lost has failed, and the bank
authorities as well as the police are as
much in the dark as ever.

Two Men Arrested at Sandersville fer
Showing the Queer.
Sandersville, Ca, Oct. 26-Two men en-
gagged in free coinage without government
authority We're arrested and jailed here
tonight, charged with passing counter
felt dollars They worked the town, buy
ing "a nickers worth at nearly all stores
and receiving 50 cents in change One
merchant detected the counterfeit soon
after making sale, and the man who
passed the dollars pretended that he
knew nothing about the dollar being spu-
rious; that the money had been paid him
for picking cotton. The fact that only
a nickeTs worth was purchased at va
rous stores is sufficient to refute this. r.
NJ. Brown, one of the victims, found the
men in the rear of his store after dark
preparing to leave town in their buggy.
He pointed a double-barrel gun at them,
commanding them to throw up their
hands, which they quickly did. Marshal
Smith was summoned and the men were
locked up in jail. 1t is not known what
their names are or where they came
from, but it is presumed from below

been passed here several times recently.

THE CURRIE THoMPsoN CASE.
It is Causing a Good Deal of Talk in
Screven County.

y
Slyvania, Ca, Oct. 26.-The excitement
over the Currie Thompson case gives no
sign Of abating Thompson is the school
teacher against whom charges were
brought by County School Commissioner
Bryan, which charges were sustained Dy
the county board OF education and his Ii
cense as a public school teacher revoked
that is, as far as screven county is con-
cerncd. Thompson holds a state license.
and when the state school commissioner is
notified Of the trial and its result, IL Is
probable that this. too, Will be taken
from him.
In yesterdays issue of the populist pa
per here he comes out in three-column
letter in which he attacks the board Of
education in n most shameful and malir-
naut manner. The board is composed OF
four Of the most heightened and honorable
men of our county-men respected by both
parties alike-and that this man who came
here only two years ago, and of whom
nothing is known, should thus assault
them. has excited the indignation of the
people.
In his article he says that DR.. Bowie. the
chairman of the board, is in his dotace.
and that his mind is so weak that he is
incapable of sitting in judgment upon any
case. OF Mr.. William Waters he SAYS that
ne was drunk upon pOpskull whisky. OF
Mr. John r. Evans he SAYS: Il will write
two lines that Will tell the whole story.
Here they are
John r. Evans. mossback democrat.
J. Currie Thompson. populist"
Mr.. r. L. Sharpe who happens to be a
populist he eXonerates from all blame
whatever.
He again assails School Commissioner
Bryan; accuses him of using his office
for the benefit of his relatives and his
party and advertises in another column
OF the paper for all teachers in Screven.
who don't think the proper thing has
been done by them this year in regard to
getting their money to state their cases
10 him. He is trying to get the whole
pOputst party involved in the fight, but
the better element Of it can hardly afford
to endorse such a man and such methods
Thompson is a good writer, but he is
a visionary kind of a fellow and hasn't
much common sense. He is a populist of
the red flag variety. and reioices to make
war on capitalists and stir up elias pref
udice. He has written too much for his
own good however, in this county, and IL
he ever teaches a public school again he
viii have to go beyond the borders OF
Screven, and perhaps of the state 1t is
probable that the members of the edu-
cational board will not notice his attack
upon them. Wherever Thompson is
known it can do them no damage, and
they could not afford to enter into a con-
troversy with a man of his type.
But it is sad commentary on the times
when wandering school teacher, with
anarchistic prOclivities like this, is al
lowed to make such an outrageous and
slanderous attack in the public prints
upon honorable gentlemen.

their worst.

A WOMAN AssAssINATED.
Her Husband Wounded by the Shot
That Killed Fer.

Tennille, Ga, Oct. 26.-Last night
Mandy Smith, colored who resided on
Alec Goff's place about six miles south
of Tennille was shot while in the act of
retiring for the night. She lived only
few hours. The shooting was done
through a crack. Her husband, who was
probably the intended victim, was wound
ed by the same discharge. Mandy was
married on Oct. 3, contrary to the wish
of a brother-in-law with whom she was
living, and owing to his opposition she
married while he was away from home
1t is not known that politics had any
thing to do with the assassination, but
suspicion rests on the brother-in-law
