RED MEN.

Pocasset Tribc celebrated Tamina's day by
holding an open meeting Monday evening,
which was very largely attended. The en-
tertainment consisted Of addresses by Deputy
Great Sachem J. II. Tarr and Sachem Fred
z. Newell, readings by Miss Nellie Devenish
and vocal and instrumental selections by II.
l.. Martin. The affair WAS in charge OF the
social committee.
Moshassuck Tribe had no work Wednesday
on account of the non-appearance Of the can
didate.
The adoption degree was conferred upon
one candidate in Tahoma Tribe Tuesday
evening
The annual session of the great counc IL was
held ut Natick Thursday and owing to the
session being held there the attendance was
light and but little interest was manifested.
The best piece Of legislation was the cutting
down of the adoption tax to 80 cents. but 1t
would seem that the proper thing to have
done would have been TO abolish 1t altogether,
for no other order is burdened with such q
tax. The charter fee was cut down from so
to SIS but as there are no prospects Of any
new tribes being formed. this move does not
cut much of figure. The next session will
be held in this city, whom an effort. will be
made to have all regular meetings Of this
body held in the city. The election OF officers
resulted as follows: Great sachem, Frank G.
Scott, weenat Shassit Tribe; great senior sag
amore, Charles A. Hibbard, ossemequin
Tribe; great junior sycamore, Henry =.

weight of the men, Mccoy. according
TO his statement, weighing 157 pounds,
and Ruhlin, according to Billy Madden,
his manager. tipping the scale at $50
pounds. Sixty percent of the gate re-
ceipts are to be divided between the men,
Mccoy taking 75 percent and Rubin 25
percent. in place of $500 purse. George
SiIer OF Chicago was referee.

CLISBY WISE BADLY SLASHED.
GEORGE N. PORTER USES HIS
KNIFE WITH SERIOUS RESULTS.

Thought Wise Was Paying Too
Marked Attention to His Wife,
and on Meeting Them Together
Begins His OnsIaught--Wise Ia "A
PrecnriOus Condition, But May Re-
cover-Forter Buys "a Knife for the
Work.
Macon, Ca, Oct. 15.-CIlsby Wise, pop
ular society man, who belongs to one of
the best families in Macon, lies in a pre-
car!ous condition at Mrs. c. A. Ryder's,
In VinevIlle, near where he engaged in a
difficulty with George N. Porter, formerly
Of Singleton & Porter. and Familiarity
known as ''B" Porter. The fight was wit
messed by Porter's wife, and her sister,
Miss Price of Clayton, Ala.
Porter had learned that Wise and his
wife had an appointment in Crump's
Park. He boarded the same car on which
his wife and Miss Price rode, and, with
out their knowledge, accompanied them to
the park. Wise rode out in buggy. When
the three met, Porter walked up and said
good morning" Wise replied indiffer-
emily. and Porter whipped out his knife
and cut him four times, three of which
were in the face and head, and the other
in the body. Wise fought desperately, and
managed to break open Porter's head
with a rock but was finally worsted. He
may possibly recover.
Porter had previously written Wise that
he was paying Mrs Porter too many at
tentions and advised him that unless he
could stop them he had better go armed.
Wise replied that 1t would make no diff
ference to him what was done about it.
Porter to-day bought his knife from the
conductor of the car on which he rode.
He tried to buy a pistol, but could not
get IL. He expected to find Wise armed.
In the fight Mrs. Porter and her sister
seized Porter and pulled him backward
into a ditch, which probably saved Wise
much worse treatment
Mrs. Porter was struck In the fight dur
ing the scuifle and badly bruised

soREvEN COUNTY NEWS.
Burial of Mr.. Observation-Disclosures
Contested by PopuIists.

contested by Popunsts.
Sylvania, Ga, Oct. 15.-The remains Of
Hon. Causey Overstreet were inferred at
the cemetery here yesterday afternoon
in the presence of a large assembly, of
friends from all portions of the county.
The services were conducted by Rev. Lon
Overstreet, brother of the deceased, as
sisted by Rev Fl. j. Arnett. Mr.. Over
streets death is a great shock to the
whole county. No one was ever held in
higher esteem by his fellow citizens, end
the county never lost a more useful man.
He met death as calmly and fearlessly
as If 1t were but an event of the day.
The Populist candidates have filed no
tice of a contest for the county offices In
Screven, and the Democrats will have
to fight still further before they gain the
prize. The contest it is learned, will be
based upon that portion of the registra-
ton law relative to voters from other
districts In the county voting at the coun-
ty site district. The Populists who are
contesting hold that all the votes thus
cast are Illegal, and should be thrown out.
This would give them a mapjority in the
county The Democrats hold that the law
is very clear on this point, and that
voter from any district In the county,
outside of an incorporated town, has a
right to vote at the county site district.
The question viii go up to Judge Gamble,
and possibly to the Supreme Court for
settlement.
