 Pat Savage, Bees' brother in law, was indicted for the same ofense, and it seems had been arrested in Walker county. Judge Greene fixed his bond at $500 also, and this fact was telegraphed to Sheriff Cutlery at Jasper, with Instructions to re- lease Savage when good bond had been given.
 The cause that led up to the indictments was the following up' of house at War rior last summer. About half dozen negro miners, known as ''scabs," were oc. cupying the house, but all escaped without much injury. bees and Savage were charged with the offense, but on prelimi- nary trial came clear.

"HANGED BY TIE NECK Until You Are Dead" Said Judge
 Smith
TO HARRY T; HAYWARD
The Verdict Of Twelve Jurors Was Death, and He Was
 Sentenced Accordingly.

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., March h. "Hanged by the neck until you are dead.'' The words fell heavily on the ears of the listeners as Judge Smith pronounced the doom of Harry T. Hayward.
 It was 10:3o o'clock when the judge arose and motioued that the defendant be brought before him.
 ''Have you anything to say,o he asked i. "why sentencs should not now be pre- nouuced?''
 Hayward cleared his throat and with an effort replied: "Nothing, sir; except that l am innocent in spite of twelve jurors.
 Judge Smith then began: Ut is the most painful duty that ever devoved oq me, :" he said, ito pronounce the sentence of law upon you at this time. You have had, in my judgment, fair trial. You have been assisted in tho defense by re- markable legal talent.
 'Ihe jury have been carefully guarded and kept from the public, so that there was possible chance that they should have baeu contaminated. l instructed them not to discuss among themselves tue guilt or innocence or the testimony in the case until the final charge, aud am confi- dent that they obeyed that older of he court. They were twelve men carefully chosen and of upright honesty and they
  ent of the others, an opinion that you are guilty. In the judgment of this court this was a conscientious verdict of this jury. Although l am not favorable to capital punishment, as l told the jury in the charge, 1 am not responsible for it. am here to obey the law in ref renee to it. It is with a feeling that wish l could avoid that pronounce this sentence.
 "It is ordered that you, Harry T. Hay ward, receive punishment for murder in the first degree, of which you have been convicted; that you be taken from here to the county jail, and after tue lapse of R period of three calendar months from this day shall thereafter be iaxen to a place ot execution fixed by the governor of Minne- sota, and at time in this warrant set be hanged by the neck until you gre dead. 7 !
 Harry sat down unmoved, and was i'm mediately taken back to the jail.

FIRE IN A MINE.
Determined Men Set to Work to Res. cue the Entombed Inmates.
 Hopes of Their Safety.

SoRRocEs, N. M., March 11.-At an early hour this morning news was received from White Oak of efforts to release the men imprisoned in Old Abe mine. It is not likely, however, that they con be res- cued before this afternoon, if they are res cued alive at all.
 Further details of the fire are to the effect that the entire plant of the mine above ground, comprising the hoisting house, boil ,r room, carpenter shop aud black smith shop was consumed. The mill alone, which was a considerable distance from the sh aft, escaped.
 Of the men who are entombed in the mine, Wilson, Davis and Baxter were mar ried White another of the imprisoned Saturday and was doing his first day shift when the fire closed the shaft and cut of communication with the surface.
 There were several narrow escapes. Three men, Keith, Gallagher and Howgate, were on the sixth level and made their way through the fire by tying their coats around their faces and rushed through the air shaft to safety. They were only slightly scorched. fire, was going down the shaft in bucket. The fire broke out above him when he was at the ninth level, and the cage dropped to the thirteenth level, throwing him out and stunning him. He regained consciousness, however, ana cllmDeu tne lauQer 10 tne ar shaft and escaped.
 It is hoped that the imprisoned men may all be rescued, as most of them are expert. enced miners and equal to any emergency. The trouble is that the rescuers are unable to do anything because of the smoke and gas from the charred tim bers, which have rendered the shaft impenetrable below the fourth level. The men will go down, how ever. at the earliest possible moment, and as there is no noxious vapor Tn the nsiue beyond that caused by combustion of the timbers it is hoped that the men in the lower levels will not perish for lack of air.
 The White Oak fire is the first mining ac. cident in the district since the burning of the Homestake shaft six years ago, when a number of men perished.
 Large rescuing parties are now at work endeavoring to connect the air shafts of the North Homestake and Godiva mines with that of the Old Abe, but the chances are that their efforts will be of no avail. It is feared that the imprisoned men must perish.

THE CROWD DISAPPOINTED.

MENToNE, March 1.-The first events of the Mentone international regatta, which began today, were the race for the 1000 francs prize given by M. Felix Faure, president of the French republic, and a race of small raters, which were won respec- lively by the Britannia aud Oakotah. It was expected that the Ailsa would take part in the former race and crowds of peo. pie from Nice, Cannes and elsewhere, who thronged the ses walls, were greatly dis appointed at her non-appearance. The damage to the Ailsa could ordinarily be re- paired in few hours. but it has been jm- possible to find suitable halyard block to replace her broken one.

George's term continues till March 3, 1899, and it is understood that he will not be candidate.

 Owing to the late spring and bad weather farmers are getting badly behind with their work. But little gardening has been late this year, owing to the long cold spell.
 Despite the financial depression, this town is doing comparatively good busi- ness. The guano trade here is not more than half as good this year as last, and the cotton acreage will be decreased at least 25 per cent, while the acreage of corn will be increased.

Gains the Decision in the Prize
 Fighting Contest
IN JUDGE FIGHTERS COURT
The State Law a Farce, Says the Judge, and Does Not
 Prohibit PugiiiSm.

NEW ORLEANS, March u.-This morn- ing Judge Fighter handed down the fol- lowing d, cision in the case of the state vs. the Olympic club:
 s'I am called upon to interpret and en- force act No. 25 of the statutes of 1890. The title of the act reads: An act defining the crime o! prize fighting and to provide for the punishment thereof in and out of the stale of Louisiana
 < .The act embraces two sections and a proviso, neither of the sections defining the crime of prize fighting, nor does the proviso tell us what a glove contest is. The former (not dt fned) is forbidden and punished; the latter is, under certain con- aditions, permitted and by implication en- couraged.
 "Having under instructions from the supreme court excluded all expert testi- mony as to the distinction between these differently designated methods of pugilism, and referring only to the facts proved in the one case and in the other fnd that prize, fight is glove contest without gloves, nd that glove contest is a prize fight with gloves. In each case there is duel with fists and there is a prize. In each case there is the same danger to limb and life, the same maiming and shedding of blood, the same brutality. l conclude, therefore, that the act entitled an act de- ining the crime of prize fighting and to provide for the punishment thereof in and out of the state of Louisiana is a piece of legislative farce and mendacity. It neither defines the crime of prize fighting nor does it provide any penalty for the same which cannot be evaded by the mockery of cover ing with gloves the hands of tue gladiators. That glove contest is brutal and danger ous as prize fight was clearly settled in the case of Lavigne vs. Andy Bowen.
 "On the whole l find that prize fight in Louisiana is a glove contest, and that glove contert is prize fight. It logically follows that there being no prohibition of glove contests in this state, the same being legaiized and encouraged under certain con- ditions which the prize fighter willingly accepts, prize fighting is now what it never was before the enactment of statute No. 25 of 1S90 legitimate business and domestic in- dustry under the special protection of the law, while before the passage of that statute it would constitute the crime of assault and battery and in some cases of manslaugh hter. Judgment for the Olympic club.''

the tactical fluid prepared for the infants
milk reduced about so per cent with
wate:. This diet, the patient explained,
was for time all that she couid have,
and she knew that the milk was reduced,
as stated.
This com pleted the investigation, and
on reporting to DIR. Hsgan that gentle
man again offered to furnish samples at
any time for further analysis or series
OF analyses, if they should be wanted.
Briefly summed up the situation is as
follows: DR.. Blackipgton has analysed
two samples of milk ALLEGED to have come
from the county hospital. One, said to
have been that served to the patients
showed that 1t had been watered to the
extent of So per cent; the other. said to
have been that used at the officers table,
was up to full lactometer standard. DIR.
Hngan, assistant to DR.. Barber, says that
so far AS he knows, no samples of milk
were furnished to DR.. Backington for
analysis, and that the milk served to
patients and that used by the officers is
idsnticaly the same in quality, and that
any statement to the contrary is an I'M
qualified falsehood. Mrs. O'Brien and
otner women patients, besides several OF
the men in the consumptive ward, say
that they believe that The milk is watered
and further cdulterated. The men are
generally satisfied with their food and
treatment; the women say that the food
is improperly cooked.
The next step in the milk controversy
will be awaited with much interest.
