DEPUTY SHERIFF KILLED.
Houston Webb Fired Upon by Alleged
Blind Tiger Operators and instantly
Killed-Murderers Escape.

Gadsden, Ala, July 15.-(Special)-
News comes from Centre, Cherokee coun-
ty, of the killing Of Deputy Sheriff Hous-
ton Webb, which occurred there yester-
day and which has thrown the town
into great excitement.
Webb, with a special deputy sheriff, Joe
Williams, went to arrest Joe, James and
John Simmons, three brothers, who, 1t is
alleged, had been operating a blind tiger
in this district and who were wanted in
Georgia on requisition papers.
Webb went to one dwelling and Will
liams to another building some distance
off. Williams, hearing firing from the
building where he had just left Webb,
rushed back there and found Webb lying
on the ground dying. In his expiring
moments he stated who had killed him.
Williams found three of the Simmonses
standing there heavily armed They
covered him with their pistols and made
him turn back. They then made their
escape. ~
Ten miles off they cut the Alabama
and Georgia long distance telephone line,
and it is thought from that that they
were making their way to Gadsden. Mr..
Webb was a married man and 40 years
old

work at the stone pile along with the.men
has caused a great commotion and has
not yet Been put Into effect, and perhaps
it may rever be. The Recent Event club,
an organization OF women, has expressed
itself ifilmeasupably shocked and has cal
ed an Indignation meeting to protest
against the threa tened disgrace of wo-
marhoeds hr,
TThe 1ne4nb ers threaten that the enforce
n1ent Jof the order means the retireme1 : t
of the police commission from Office at
the first opportunity. and as women vote
in KANSAS municipal elections the threat
is mot regarded as altogether an idle
one and nlalay have its desired effect The
principal objection to the rock pile is that
part of the order requiring the women to
work without skirts and to wear overalis
instead
The police officials stand by their order
ana say that the first women prisoners
whose ,fneS are not paid will go to the
rock pile.

A. WISE SUGGESTION.

London, July 15.-Lord Charles Berres-
ford has written;a letter in regard to the
magnificent offer of the Cape Colony to
present a first class battleship to Great
Britain, that he deprecates the fact that
the other colonies are hurrying to imi-
tate the, cape, because, he says, in the
event of war strategic reasons might re-
duire the removal of the fleet from colo
NAL waters, leaving the colonies open to
hostile attacks, and this might cause
soreness and misunders tanding on the
part of the officials of the colonies which
had contributed to the purchase Of IRON
clads. - Itf would bo much better, says
Lord Berresforf, for the colonies to pro-
vide we'll fortified and equipped naval
bases where a fleet could be repaired and
refitted in the shortest possible time. The
increasing of such bases would do more
to strengthen the empire than the en-
largement of the fleet, and Lord Berres-
ford thinks 1t would have been wiser to
spend II 100000 in making the cape more
efficient as a naval basis.
