SENSATION CREATED.
ARREST OF JIM TAYLOR, A NOTED
BLOCKADER.
1t Occurred at Oak Ridge Church,
Stokes County, Sunday, at the
Close of the Pilot Mountain As
S0oiatinn-A TfuaIu Tirna

sociation-A Lively Time.
There was lively sensation at Oak
Ridge church, Stokes county, about
one O'Clock Sunday.
The annual session of the Pilot
Mountain Baptist Association had
just closed and the delegates and
members Of the congregation were
when Mr.. George Freddy, the new
Deputy Marshal for Stokes. attempted
t. arrest Jim Taylor, a celebrated
blockader.
There are two reports regarding the
difficulty One is that Freddy slipped
up behind Taylor (Lhe latter sitting
in his buggy and grabbed him around
the waist In less time than min
ute the two men were on the ground.
The other report says that the deputy
had two officers with him and when
he called upon the blockader to sur
render, Taylor rolled out OF his buggy
in an instant and drew pistol, which
was we'll loaded. Before he had time
to use it, however, Marshal Freddy
fred upon Taylor, the ball going
through the hand in which the block
adler held his shooting iron. This, of
course. caused Taylor to drop his
pistol
In an instant the officer and his as
sistants were on top OF Taylor and
lively tussle followed for about ten
minutes
In the language OF the negro, there
were many pistols flying in the air
women and children were screaming
and the situation was anything but
pleasant even for spectators.
The officers finally tied Taylor, but
not until they had torn his coat and
vest off His shirt was also badly dis
figured. He was placed in buggy
and carried to Jail at Dinbury.
A report was brought here today
that some of Taylor's friends made al
attack on the officers while they were
on both sides were wounded. This,
however, is only rumOr and is prOba-
bly, not true.
THE SENTINEL is told that Taylor
has been in the moOnshiDe business
and has defied the officers for several
years. He generally carried a Win
chester and pistols with him. He is
said to be another stamp of the we'll
known Smith boys
Freddy sent Taylor word as soon as
he was appointed Deputy Marshal
that he had five warrants against
him and expected to arrest him. Tay
lor replied that he would never be
taken aliyt; that if he FREDDY would
wait until he got twelve warrants he
might come over and get the cash for
them.
Taylor's home is only about three
miles from Oak Ridge church. Freddy
lives about seven The two men are
we'll acquainted aud knew what they
had to contend with when they met
ON the field of battle.
Taylor is large, stout and is not
lacking in pluck. Freddy, while not
so large, is well developed and is not
afraid to arrest the most dangerous
man, as was shown in Sundays con-
test

THE CRAZE FOR GOLD.
SEVEN THOUSAND SEEKERS AT
KLONDYKE FIELDS.
Expeditions Are Continually Fitting
Out-Chilkoot Pass Blocked by
Provisions Which Are Being
Rushed to Dawson.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 3.-The re-
ports received here by local Trans
portation Com any from an agent at
Dawson says seven thousand gold
seekers are at the Klondyke fields or
Immediate vicinity. He says the
future finds will be small and that
claims are staked out at every point.
Legs quartz leads have been found
and prospectors have gone To a promis-
ing field sixty miles east beyond
Klondyke, but for fear of bears and
on account of sWarms of mosquitoes
found, they will abandon their
claims and return to the Klondyke
claims, which show no signs OF giving
out.
At least four million dollars in gold
has just been brought to Seattle by
steamer. There are no signs OF abate-
ment in the Yukon craze here Elk
petitions are continually fitting out.
Chilkoot Pass is reported blocked by
provisions which are being rushed TO
Dawson in anticipation of an early
winter. 1t is reported from Junea
that there are so many provisions now
on the way that it will take year to
transport them to their destination.

ACCIDENTS ON THE N. 4 w.
Negroes Arm Cut Of-Brakeman Fell
From Freight.


From a Freight.
Several nights ago negro tramp
fell off a train on the n. 81 w. road,
beyond Martinsville. Ooe arm was
cut off. He was found next morning
by the section master lying near the
track asleep. A physician dressed his
arm and the company gave the injured
man pass to go home.
A few nights ago one of the break
men on the same road fell off freight
train. It was making good time but
he fortunately struck soft place
when he rolled off. The train had
gone several miles before he was miss
ed. 1t started back, expecting to find
MIN dead, but such was not true. The
fellow was walking the track, going
after his train, in the dark, on double
quick time. He had his lantern on
his arm when he rolled off, but 1t went
out. He struck the only two matches
in his possession, but they were blown
out by the wind. A few bruises were
the only injuries sustained.
