Mrs. A. c. PeytOn Dead.

! A great and good woman has
fallen. Mrs. Peyton is dead. The
press of Mississippi co uld contain
no sadder announcement than this
truth for it carries with it a sorrow
and grief to thousands of homes In

her brothers and devoted children
and loving friends the beautiful
life faded away into the shadows Of
night. For days Mrs. Peyton had
grown gradually worse and the
patient watchers around her bed
side had given up hope. On Fri
day she rallied somewhat but the
improvement was only of short du-
ration and tine end came as above
stated.
Mrs. Peyton had been a teacher
in the Industrial Institute & Col
lege for years past and she was the
object of alteration aud love to the
students and faculty of that insti-
tuition. Not only in the Col
lege but throughout this commu-
nifty she was universally loved for
she was a woman that endeared
herself to all around her by her
Christian life and charitable graces.
As the founder Of the College she
was best known to the people Of the
state. 1t was her mind that con

school for Mississippi way back il
the eighties aud so earnestly die
she plead the girls cause through
press and in person that the Legisla
ture founded the present school.

A BAD Eire.

TWAS a hard fight, boys. You
were hampered by an all too short
water supply and it was bitterly
cold making the water that dreneh-
ed your pipe-men almost ice. The
lack Of water was discouraging TO
say the least while the cold wealth
er imperiled your health, the water
ruined your clothes and the places
of duty you were called to endan-
gered your lives. Notwilhstand-
ing air this you made a valiant
fight as you have done many times
before and will DO many times in the
future il called upon. You were out
and away in short order; orders were
promptly obeyed, the fire was we'll
handled and the general good work
done entities you to the gratitude
of your fellow citizens.
The FIRE occurred at Mr.. Chas.
Sherrod's home, just east of Maj.
John Billups' residence, in Ward
No. S. 1t began in the attic from
a defective flue and when discov-
cred the roof was ablaze. The
alarm came in prompt and the de-
partment got away in good shape.
The residence was large two sto-
ry frame structure and the location
of the fire enabled the hremen and
friends of Mr.. Sherrod to save a
large amount Of his furniture and
household effects. Miss Irene
Sherrod, who was dangerously i'll
in the burning building, was ten
derby carried by strong arms to the
home of her brother, Mr.. Tom
Sherrod, where everything was
done to allay her excitement and
overcome the terrible strain and
shock that the fire caused.
Both engines made for Ottley's
FIRE plug right at the corner of the
burning building. Although fed
by a little four-inch main, in
capable of supplying either of the
engines running at its fullest ca
pacity, both the steamers were COM
PEELED to rely on the little plug for
water. The result was that Of the
four streams turned on the burning
building none Of them were full
and all lacked the force necessary
to combat a FIRE. Handicapped as
the fremen were they went at the
flames with determination and
soon stopped the FIRE. The roof Of
the structure was almost falling in
when water reached it but the
flames never got much further.
The roof and the upper story were
destroyed and the lower story bad
ly damaged by fire and water but
here the fremen stopped it. The
Hercules were on hand and placed
their ladders advantageously and
the Rough and Readys rendered
good assistance although not using
their engine for lack of water.
Mr.. Sherrod estimates his loss at
81, 900 and his insurance is So. 900.
The sympathy of the community
and many friends is extended to
him in his misfortune.

1t Was a Hot Time.

A difficulty developed as the result
OF hot monte game at the Lone Star
saloon last night. 1t seems that man
named Paul Hyde, who is at present
employed as porter in the Ruby saloon,
has been frequentiug this place and
playing the monte game with unusual
success. Last night in company with
a barber by the name of F.. M. Farer,
he went to the Lone Star resort and
bet his money on the monte game. He
won and lost as the story goes and fire.
|quent little squabbles arose during
this time, and finally bet of fifty cents
was made which Hyde claimed he had
won and the dealer claimed he had
lost. A few hot words followed and
the dealer refused to ailow him to play
any longer. Hyde put his money on
the table and IL was pushed back as
often as HYDE placed it. AS is stated
by Hyde's friends, the bartender then
appeared on the scene and after asking
few quest Ons regarding the trouble,
went behind the bar and got q pistol
with which to settle matters. At the
door leading TO the monte room he was
intercepted by a friend of Hyde's and
was being prevailed upon to keep the
peace when Hyde threw revolver
over the shoulder of his friend and
with pistol in hand commanded Alex
ander to drop his pistol. Friends
stepped in and the two were separated
wi hout any serious trouble.
The other side of the story is that
Hyde is considered bad man and
that he had given the monte game con-
siderable during the time he was play
ing last evening: that he claimed bet
of so cents and when the dealer refused
to pay the bet Hyde reached for the
bank roll with one hand and for his
pistol with the other: that he reached
the money but whether he took any of
it or not they do not know: that Hyde
was the first to pull his pistol and that
Alexander pulled his pistol to protect
the property. The case will be called
in police court this evening at five
O'Clock and promises TO be very inter-
estiug as the Two versions OF the affair
are entire different

Almost a Runaway.

Last night while the band was play
ing in the park horse hitched TO a
buggy vas tied to a telegraph pole on
ST. Louis street and seemed to epiny
the sweet strains floating on the invi-
gorating atmosphere. But when the
deafening noise of a passing
freight train drowned the music the
horse did not like 1t and soon
freed itself from the bitch-strap and
started at lively clip in the direction
of Oregon street. The great crowd in
the immediate vicinity observed the
determined actions of the horse in the
bright moonlight ADD looked for an eX-
citing affair, but the heroism
OF young man set all nerves at
ease. When the horse reached the
corner of Oregon and ST. Louis this
Young man spraug from the curbing
and grabbsd the horse by the bird e
and succeeded in stopping it. He re-
celved loud applause from the specta.
tors, but would not give his name for
publication.
