Yellow Fever News.
ROBERT

Jackson, Miss, Sept. IS The city
is completely demoralized and bust
ness at a standstill. The people con-
tinued to pour out of the city during
all Of last night and today, and by
midnight fully two-thirds of the pop
ulation will have gone. Their fears
as to suspicious cases at Edwards,
twenty-five miles distant, are in no
way allayed, but thei; apprehension
grows hourly.
DR.. Guiteras, the Government ex-
pert, arrived at Edwards today from
Mobile on a special train. 10 reply to
a telegram asking for information he
replied that he could make no state
ment for publication. 1t is under
stood, however, that DR.. Guiteras has
already reported to the Surgeon-Gen-
eral at Washington and that he con-
firms tee report of seven genuine
yellow fever and many suspects
At - 80 p. m, Mayor Wharton
posted a notice that he had Deer adj
vised by the Safe Board CT Health
that it would be we'll to get all the
people out Of town, provided they de-
sired to leave at all.

A Bad Chief.

The new chief OF the Piutes, Cap
tain Sam, successor t o the late Cap
tain Sam, is not in very high favor
with his tribe. He thinks that the
Piute tribe is the largest body OF PEG
pie on earth and he, as the Chief,
"wns the whole country, He is over-
bearing and tyranical, and also gets
drunk whenever he feels disposed. A
Pinte was in this office yesterday in
Iuiring il the State law prohibiting
drunkOness on the part OF officials ap-
piled to a Piute Chief, who was three
sheets in the wind most Of the time.
He seemed quite disappointed when
he discovered that the law did not APP

New York, Sept. 10Th, 1897.
Mr.. Sam Davis, EDITOR CAsRON AP-
PEAL. Dear Sir:-In today's clip
pings sent me by my agency [ find
the following which was credited to
the Nevava News. I do not remember
the paper. Was it running during my
stay at the Capitol? Kindly reprint it
for me just as it follows:
While Bob Fi'z7imnoDs is talking

and is living On the fat OF the land
his father aud mother, the latter 81
years Of age are objects Of charity in
New Zealand INC have never had a
lin from the champion since he an
tered the ring. We trust that he will
sometime meet COrbett again.
The iter1 contains three lies aud one
mistake. Ia ;ht first place [ am not
Conducting a stable Of fat trtees IN
less you call two buggy hor-rs for my
wife and a Shetland for my boy "a
stable"
Secondly my mother and father are
not objects Of charity in New leland,

letter received from them will show:
x * X God bless you for your gift
Of 5000 my son. The home you had
built for US is comfortable and a
blessing that will make our life
brighter. Your brother Jarrett is do
ing we'll in hia business and will write
you an answer to yours for the next
steamer"
Now for the benefit of the News
Editor [ will explain that 200 pounds
is almost $1,000 the sum which [ had
the pleasure Of sending my parents
over six weeks ago.
Thirdly the statement that they
have never had a line from me is dis
proved by the acknowledgement of
the money l sent.
FOurthly, the mistake, | will never
meet COIbett again. | might
catch him by chasing him, but not il
he sees me first will [ ever meet the
gentleman. Think ha has gone on of
the meeting business 90 far as ! am
concerned. If the News Editor doubts
my statements let him write to Timaru

Will Fight to the End.

According to tho attorneys for Mrs.
Craven the decision rendered by
Judge Slack will not end the battle
fol- the pencil deeds. A conference
was held after the judgment at which
it was decided to take steps for an al
peal to the Supreme CUult during the
thirty days stay Of execution grated
by Judge Slack. ID the subsequent
Proceedings, however, the Craven side
does not expect to be handicapped bv
lack Of funds. Henry Koehler. Jr.,
Mrs. Craven's son-in-law. said yester-
day: However Mrs. Craven may
have been cramped for money in the
past she will rot be 10 the future
Even if there is nothing left of the
property in contention the case shall
be fought to the bitter end. If neces-
sary I will spend every dollar l have
for that purpose"
or all the attorneys on the Craven
side W. W. Foote was the least able
to repress his wrath. The only way
to fight fifteen millions in California
is to have sixteen Millions," he ex-
claimed. The other attorneys. while
evidently feeling strongly, made no
comments.
From Portl and ex-Judge Curtis, the
"smasher." telegraphed his opinion
that there was error enough in the
case to secure a reversal and his firm
belief in the justice Of Mrs Craven's
cause.
