hero. General Bacon, Lieutenant Ross
Surgeon Harris, Hospital Steward Buck
hart, Sergeant Butler, Frank Briggs and
Colonel Sheehan are all deserving of medals
of honor. The two former for the gallant
manner in which@they led the troops, the
third for his inattention to his wounds when

apparent indifference to them, the fourth
for volunteering to carry messages across

fort to rejoin his men, and the fifth for
bravery displayed on several occasions
Briggs is a barber of Walker and was
sworn IN as a deputy. sheriff because he
wanted to accompany the troops. When

everyone who showed above the ground
Briggs went to the beach and carried sup

was allowed to do so by General Bacon
who remarked as he gave his consent: You
have lots of nerve, young man, and are

RIOT BARELY AVERTED
SOLDIERS AT JACKSONVILLE PRO-
VOKED BY A HABERDAsHER.
Lynching Prevented by Mai. Russell
Harrison, Who Had Been Called
Vile Names by the StOreIxeeper.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Oct 6.--A serious
difficulty was narrowly averted here this
afternoon when J. M. Coleman, a we'll
known haberdasher. fired a pistol at a flee
ing soldier but fortunately failed to hit any
one, although the street was filled with peo-
pie at the time. The report became circu-
lated that Coleman had attempted to kill
Maj Russell b. Harrison, provost marshal,
hut although the major figured in the affair."
the shot was not fired at him and no at
tempt was made upon his life. The trouble
seems to have started between Coleman
and a soldier, the two having some words
Coleman who is known to have an irascble
temper, used most foul language and a
crowd of soldiers gathered. Major Harrison
walking down the street, saw the crowd and
went in to see-what the trouble was. Cole
man then turned on him, calling him vile
names and ordering him from the store
Major Harrison, fearing further trouble,
went for a policeman, Coleman being a pri-
vate citizen. AS to what occurred just here
accounts differ and are somewhat confus-
ing 1t is claimed by Coleman that a SOL
der entered the store and struck him over
the head with a pair of brass knuekles and
then ran, that he followed the soldier to the
door and fired at him. At any rate, no
sooner had the shot been fired than the SOL
dicrs rushed into the store and the shout
went up to lynch him. Several provost
guards were standing by and at once loaded
their rifles. Major Harrison hearing the
shot. came back, realizing that the soldiers,
in their enraged condition, were intent on
doing Coleman injury ordered them off. and
in SO doing undoubtedly prevented blood
shed.
Coleman was placed under arrest and
taken to the police station. He afterwards
waived hearing and was placed under 81 900
bonds. The affair created good deal of ex-
citement at the time, but no further trouble
is feared. The soldier shot at was said to
belong to the Second Louisiana Regiment.

the Chinese and Manchus in high office is

there is a small proportional increase of

Charged With rlurder.

Today Deputy j. b. Davis :
rived from Tishomingo with tran k
Tumey, an innocent looking inCi-
vidual of % years, who was coii-
mitted to Jail here by Commits
sioner Hardy of TishOmingo,
charged with the murder of Jack
Howard on the 18th day of this
month near the mouth OF Washita.
Tumey was arrested by Depu y
Davis on the same day some SIX
miles west of Colbert.
Briefly, the cause of the killing
arose from an insinuation by How
ard to Tumey that the latter was
too intimate with HOward's wife.
Howard made some very rough re-
marks about Tumey and kept adj
vancing upon him threatening that
he would kill him. Tumey kept
backing away from Howard beg
ging him to keep off, and finally
pulled a pistol and fired, killing
Howard.
