frauding the Santa Fe railway COM
pany out of SIC, 600 by means Of a
false claim TO damages sustained,
stated to the court that he only had
one request to make, and that was
that in liking the penalty he be given
the extreme limit of the law, and
that his confederate be only given
the minimum punishment. His rea-
son for this strange request was that
the confederate was pursuaded into
the conspiracy by him after he had
formed all ne plans that ended so
disastrously. His was a very gener-
Gus proposition to say the least OF 1t,
and shows that in this instance there
was honor among thieves.

SHOOTING AT PAOLI.
Tom Thornton Seriously IT Not Fatally
Wounded Friday by DIR. Tucker

From Milburn Reynolds, who came
down from Purcell Friday evening,
the ARDMoREITE learns of n serious
shooting affray at Paoli, which oc-
Cured Friday afternoon on the ar-
rival of the north bound passenger
train, and from the result of which
Tom Thornton, the proprietor of the
hotel at that place, lies with three
wounds in as many places on his
body and DIR. Tucker and brother
are in the hands of the law.
1t seems there was a grudge exist
ing between Thornton and the Tuck
ers, occasioned by an indictment be-
ing found against the fuckers, charg-
ing them with the sale of intoxicants.
The are, or have been, engaged in
the drug business at Paol, and Thorn
ton was accused by them with having
preferred the charges against them
Friday Thornton took the train at
Pauls Valley and got oil at Paoli,
where he was met ny the fuckers
and a quarrel ensued
The fuckers were armed, and
opened up their batteries, three of
their shots taking effect, one in the
face, one in the arm and one in the
leg, breaking the latter member.
After the smoke of battle had
cleared the fuckers attempted
to get away, but one was arrested in
Paoli and the other at Pauls Valley
They were taken to Purcell for pre-
liminary hearing yesterday, the re-
suit of which has not vet been
learned.

Mr.. Collins stated to the press that the
liabilities of his company would reach
$4,000. The creditors are scattered ali
over the world. The assets will prob
ably cover the Indebtedness, but nothine
definite can be told until the receiver
takes stock.
The Stilson & Collins Company was
generally supposed to be strong fnan-
cially, and its failure comes in the nature
of q surprise.

BALL LEAGUES OF THE SOUTH.
CONTRADICTORY ACCOUNTS As TO
ATLANTA's ACTION.

The President of the Southeastern
GeorEia's Capital City VIII Remain
i'm the Southern League-Purchase
of Its Control the Only Way in
which the New League Can OBJ
tain the Club.
Charleston, S. c., Feb. 3.-President T.
G. Passailaigue Of the Southeastern Base
Ball League. received a telegram from At
lanta tonight notifying him that that
city had gone into the Southern League.
President PassaiIaigue says that unless
all Of the cities in his league will con-
sent TO have Charlotte. y. c.. substituted
for Atlanta's place in the circuit. that
the efforts to form a Southeastern League
will fall through. He will try to make
this arrangement at once. but he fears
that objections will be made by Macon and
other of the smaller members of the
proposed league. He says Sa-
vannah is all right, and that
he believes he can count on her to
advocate the league with Charlotte in it.
The circuit with Charlotte would make a
mileage a little greater than it would have
been with Atlanta, and as the people Of
the former town has enthusiastic crowds,
President Passailaigue is confident that
a Charlotte club would do well.
Atlanta. Ga, Feb. at is still an IN
settled question whether Atlanta will go
into the Southeastern Base Ball League
this season or not. Those interested in
both the Southern and the Southeastern
League clubs held two conferences to-day
trying to make a trade. but an agreement
as TO terms was not reached. The South
eastern Leagues people have made a prop
sition to the holders of the Atlanta fran
chises in the Southern League, but from
what can be learned tonight the Southern
holders are holding out for a higher price
than the promoters of the Southeastern
League had counted upon. The
southern League people claim
that the only way Atlanta can be
placed in the Southeastern League is for
those interested in it to buy out the south
ern franchise and stock. If they do not
do this then they say in order to keep
faith with the other cities of the South
ern League the old club will have to go
into the field again this year.
Another conference will be held to-
morrow, when the deal will be either con-
summated or called off entirely
