FOUGHT FOR MS LIFE.
Mill Manager Besieged By Inturiated
Negroes.

Chipley, Fla, Oct. 26. --Beseiged by
infuriated negroes, J. NJ. Criglar, man
ager of Hagerman's lumber mills at
Hager station, four miles west of here,
defended himself with such effect that
he killed two of his assailants and
wounded four others. Criglar became
engaged in quarrel with one of his
employees and the other negroes drew
pistols and began firing at the manager.
Criglar ran to his office, locked himself
in and opened fire with Winchester
on the maddened negroes who sur
rounded the building.
For an hour the battle continued and
when the Louisville a. Nashville train
arrived at the station the negroes were
preparing to set fire to the building and
cremate Criglar. The train crew and
passengers, however, rushed to Crig-
lars aid and dispersed the negroes
The negroes had fired over 200 shots
into the building, but Criglar escaped
by lying ON the floor. AS soon as the
negroes fired a volley, however, he
would rise and shoot at them through
the windows. The negroes killed are
Amos Judson and Alexander. The
wounded are Henry Simpson, Jack
Noble, Andrew Miller and Albert Les
ter. Simpson and Lester are thought
to be fatally wounded.

Society.
San Francisco, Oct. 26.-Ben Jones,
of London; Joseph Clay, of Gloucester,
and William Stokes, of Newcastle, ar
rived from the antipodes ON the steamer
Monowai. They are representatives
Of the Manchester Co. operative Society,
an institution which is doing business
with capital of G7,000,000, and
which has big stores and agencies scat
tered throughout the United Kingdom.
The society is organized for the pur-
pose of affording the poor and middle
classes an opportunity of purchasing
supplies and the necessaries Of life di-
rect from the producers, growers and
manufacturers, thereby saving the pur.
chaser the profits Of the wholesaler and
middlemen. The society has proved a
big success, and has become an ex.
tensive and powerful concern in Eng
land, and the representatives now here
say they have been in New Zealand and
Australia to see if it would be practic.
able and feasible to organize branch
agencies in those colonies.
As result of their visit they say
it is highly probable that the society
will engage in the business of handling
refrigerated meats from the Australian
colonies.

Conviction of c. o. Downing of EN-
bexzlement Sustained.
Olympia, WASH, Oct. 26-The su-
preme court today affirmed the lower
courts judgment in the case of State of
Washington, respondent, VS.. g. o.
Downing, appellant. This was case
wherein the appellant, as clerk of Spo-
kane county, was convicted Of en-.
bezzlement. Counsel fpr Downing
urged that the information was in
sufficient to charge an otfense, under
the act of 1898, making it embezzle-
ment for any county officer to whom a
salary is paid to fail to pay to the coun-
ty treasurer all sums thai shall come
into his hands for fees and charges in
his Office; also that the information
did not charge an offense lnder section
81, Of the penal code. The supreme
court held contrary to this contention
in the case of the State VS. Isensee, the
defaulting city treasurer OF New What
com, and concludes upon the authority
of that case, that no error was commit
ted in the lower court in overruling
the demurrer in this case. The exoep-
tions taken by the appella mt to certain
charges of the lower court are held by
the supreme court to be uhtenable.
