The Knights of Pythias Give an Inter-

The Knights of Pythias Give an Inter-
 esting Entertainment.
 Warrior, Ala. Nov.,7.-(Special Cores pondence.) - The entertainment given last night at Jones' Hall by the Knights of Pythias was one of the most interest ing events witnessed in a long while by the intelligent audience that crowded the hall to overflowing.
 The programme was excellent and well rendered by the following participants: Misses Flora Shindelbower, Myrtle Brake, Elvira Lewis, Sue Dickinson, Mrs. J. S. Hagler and Mir. D. N. Smith. Mir. Smith rendered an amusing solo in a way that brought down the house with loud ap- plause. The subject was How 1 Voted and How You Voted" in the late cleo tion.
 The young ladies all reflected credit upon themselves in their recitations and songs. The most enjoyable feature of the occasion, at least to the writer, was the scholarly address on Pythianism by Mir. J. B. WadSworth, of Birmingham. It was a g reat treat and showed up this ancient order in an enviable light.
 The Warrior high school continues to grow, nearly 140 pupils are now in at- tendance. MT. Joe Albritten, of Arka- delphia, and Masters John, David and Willie Ausborn, oc Blount Springs are attending the school.
 Born, to MT. and Mrs. Anderson, a daughter; to MT and Mrs. T. Street, a son. The latter is named William Jen- nings Bryan in honor of whom no one will question.

UNIQUE CONFIDENCE GAME.

Countryman Pays s20 Fine to Avoid
 Being Arraigned in Court.
 A unique confidence game was worked here day before yesterday. A country man named Atkinson came to town and became intoxicated. After midnight he started to his boarding house in a mel low, rocking condition. On Dexter ave- hue he was accosted by a man claiming to be a policeman who arrested him for drunkenness and started with him to- ward the guard house. They had not proceeded far, the rural citizen pleading all the time for liberty, and offering to pay any reasonable fine, when they were met by another man. This man claimed to be the police judge, and upon entreaty of the prisoner allowed him to plead guil- ty where he stood. in order to avoid the publicity of an arraignment in court, pay a $20 fine and proceed on his way. The victim did not see through the scheme until the next morning, and when he did he hesitated to report it. The facts leaked out, however, but too late to apprehend the fakirs.

It was reported at the sheriffs office yesterday morning by telephone that a negro had been found in the woods near Graces Gap, below here on the Louisville and Nashville, with his head hacked aI- most out of shape. Deputies with dogs were sent to the scene and made hot search for the man who had committed the crime. hatchet covered with blood was found near by, which proved a silent witness as to how the man was cut about the head. The negro will die.
 Sheriff O'Brien- and Deputy Warnock returned at 10 o'clock last night from a long hunt after the guilty party, which proved futile. The negro was unable to speak, therefore 1t was impossible to ob- tain any information from him.
