citizen named Hibbs, who attempted,
derer. White, who was now thoroughly
aroused, pumped cold lead into them
without hesita ton, bringing down
I1ibbs with wound In the stomach

catching Baird in the leg. This intim-
idated the others, and White escaped.

cOlored school teacher at Dunlap, 30

The girls father, Samuel Ray, howey-

matter investigated by the court. A
quarrel ensued, and Henderson grabbed
hatchet and split Rays head open,
and on the way out met Mrs. Ray, Mrs.
McFall, sister Of his victim, and Taos.
Starkey. He struck each in turn on the
head with his hatchet, and then made

THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY, K. OF /.
Minority Representation, Diseussed-Res

Minority Representation Discussed-Res
oIutlon on supreme Judges.
Washington, Nov. 19.-The question
Of minority representation was discuss
ed by the Knights of Labor today. At
present there is no provision for minor
ity representa- ton, and a majority in
local OF district assembly controls the
entire selection Of men as delegates or
for other business. The sentiment is for
a change, which will give the minori-
ties a representation, and to this end
the proposition was referred back 10 the
committees Of laws for amendment, af-
ter which it will likely be adopted.
An important resolution has been
read and referred to the resolution com
mittee, demanding that members OF the
United States supreme court shall be
elected by popular vote. The resolution
meets with general favor, and is like
~ to be acted on affirmatively.
The feeling is said to be due to the
granting Of several tnjunctions IN
strike cases by the judiciary, and also
to the alleged unfavorable course Of
the courts on laws relating to labor, as
in the decision against the income
tax
