BEATEN BY ROBBERS.
A County Treasurer's ONCE Was Looted
by Two Men.


Madeira, Cal, May 25.-County Treas
urer Krohn was terribly beaten by rob-
bers at 1890 this morning and the strong
box of the county looted of its contents
by the robbers. The treasurer was found
i'm an unconscious condition in his office
shortly after midnight. He had been dealt
a blow in the face with a billy or SAND
bag. but was not fatally Tho
marble floor of the office Is marked with
a trail of blood from the vault to the
front door. where the wounded treasurer
evidently dragged himself on his hands
and knees.
The safe was empty. About $50 In al-
yer and a few gold pieces were scattered
on the floor. 1t was found that the rear
door had been forced open and as blood
was found on the rear porch, 1t Is con-
iectured that the robbers fed by that
exit. A broken pane was discovered IN
the window separating the office from the
hallway. Three stone drills were found IN
the office and evidently one Of these had
been used to break the glass.
Clues are very slight. In . semi-con-
scious moment Treasurer Krohn inquired:

This would indicate that two men were
implicated. The men were seen riding the
blind baggage as the IL O'Clock south
bound train pulled out. The booty Sc
cured was probably only a few hundred
dollars, since most of the taxes were

NET N A SHAM BATTLE

GENERAL BURT DEFEATED

Repulsed Charge After Charge
Of His Adver-
earies.

Chicakamauga National Park, Ga.
May 25.-The sham battle Of Chicka-
manga park this morning, in which
three brigades Of General Wilson's LIST
army corps participated, was one Of the
most thrilling military spectacles that
has been witnessed since the civil war.
After seven hours Of almost continuous
maneuvering, in which was exempliied
almost every phase Of military tactics,
General A. s. Burt, commanding the
LIST brigade, was outclassed by the I'd
and Sd brigades which were pitted
against him.
At 4 o'clock this morning the call to
arms was made. The LIST brigade, Gen
eral Burt commanding, composed of the
LIST Ohio. 5th Illinois and Sd Wisconsin,
was posted at McFarland's gap, under
orders to hold the gap IL possible. and
IL possible to retain good order. Against
the LIST brigade were the I'd and Sd. The
I'd was commanded by General Comp
ton. composed of the 4th Ohio. Sd ILL
nois. 4th Pennsylvania. The Sd, COM
manded by General Rulings, N COM
posed of the 18th Pennsylvania, 18th
Indiana and I'd Wisconsin. The man
euvering was determined from the start,
and during the progress of the maneuv-
ers positions of the commands were
scattered to various parts Of the field.
Here a company would charge and put
to retreat a detached squad Of the op-
posing command. elsewhere skirmish
lines were thrown out, n at times
driven back. AS timbered sections were
reached, skilled movements were made
to gain the shelter of the trees. Re
peated charges were made against Gen
eral Burt's front, only to be gallant
ly repulsed. The doughty commander

cutting off General Burt's retreat. At
ll:O1 o'clock the battle was declared
to nave been o by Generals Compton
and Hulings.
A serious casualty occurred In the
progress of the battle. Lieutenant
Batty of the 10th Pennsylvania, in com
mand of a squad, was surrounded by
c of the LIST Ohio regiment and
was ordered to surrender. Instead OF
surrendering, Lieutenant Batty ordered
a bayonet charge. While at close range
a member of the Ohio command shot di-
rectly at Lieutenant Batty, the charge
striking him in the face and neck. IN
ficting painful and serious INJURIES.
Both eyes were badly injured, and the
vision may be destroyed. Bad blood
was engendered by the incident, and the
men rushed together. 1t was only by
the GOODNESS and presence OF mind OF
the officers that bloodshed was averted.

The approaching visit Of George J.
Goshen, first lord of the treasury and

proof of the Anglo-American alliance.
