styled themselves the sSanctifed Band =

and the reault was q fierce battle
In which guns, revolvers and other
weapons were used, one woman being
killed and several men wounded. Both
sides fought with desperation, and for a
time there was a perfect fusillade of
small arms AS neither side gained q
decisive victory, hostilIties will probably
soon be renewed. and doubtless with even
more serious consequences than that
which marked the furious engagement

plan Of sancti6cation was pursued By all
the Members of the band
Serious scandals followed this style of
worship, and the Virginia author tiles
finally prosecuted the members of the
band, and they were compsllsd to h.e

The old saying that dreams 20 by

this morning. About 10 o'clock last
night he and his wife retired to bed He

burglar In hts room and sprlnging from
his bed grappled with him. so vivid
was the dream Mr. Woodward sprang
from his bed only TO fnd the room unoc

And the Dream Came True.
About 8 o'clock, bis usual hour for

that opening from the saloon we're ajs ar.
No matter where caught, the thief had
an avenue OF escape
Only Captured the moaey.
The watch and earrings still lay on the
bureau, fact due to their being near
the head OF the bed aud under dimly
lighted gas let. In the bar room, In
