ROW IN AN AUGUSTA BARRoOM.
Two Men Shot and the Place Gener-
ally Smashed Up.

Augusta, Ga, Jan. 2S-There was
general row tonight at midnight In a res
taurant back of barroom, corner of
Broad and Marbury streets, run by two
ex-policemen, Pat Brock and Henry
Heard, and Ed. Wimberly, a member of
Company E in the late Second Georgia
Regiment.
There were two soldiers and two women
in the place. A row was precipitated over
some vulgar speech, and a general knock
down-and-drag- followed Shots were
fired, furniture was smashed, and a riot
call was turned in to police headquarters,
to which a patrol wagon full of police re-
sponded.
1t is very difficult to get at the truth Of
the details, but John Matthewson of the
provost guard was hit in the back of the
head and claims that he was shot by
Brock. Frank C. Harmon, another SOL
der, was shot in the back of the head
Pat Brock was hit over the left eye and
ON top of the head. John Hatfield, SOL
tfier, was hit on the left cheek with a beer
bottle, and two Krag-JOrgensen rifles be-
longing to the soldiers were smashed up.
The reports-are very conflicting, and 1t
will take the investigation in the record
er's court tomorrow to get at the facts
Nobody was dangerously hurt.

TO RAISE GRAIN AND STOCK.
Farmers Around odum Are Tired of
Cotton as a Money Crop.


Cotton as a Money Crop.
Odum, Ca, Jan. 23.-The cotton grow
ing season is about over in this vicinity
now and to Judge from the expressions
of the farmers there will be but a small
crop to gin next season. Most of the
farmers say they are not going to plant
cotton, but will plant grain and other
crops and pay more attention to raising
stock. They also claim they are going to
buy very little guano.
There have been 5S5 bales of cotton ship
ped from here this season against $50 bales
last season. There were 472 tons of gu
and sold here last season, against 437 tons
the season before These sales would
have been reduced to great extent the
past season if the buyers had not been al
lowed to give a cotton note of 500 pounds
of seed cotton for a ton of guano, which
caused much more fertilizers to be used
A few of the most progressive farmers
are beginning to prepare their lands for
the coming season, but the rains have been
so heavy and continuous for the past ten
days that but little could be done.

WORK OF BLOODY WHITE-CAPS
OLD MAN AND son SHOT TO DEATH
IN MILLER COUNTY.

His Daughter Was Also Badly
Observation-Disclosures Called TO the
Door of His Home and Shot Down.
Cause of the Shooting Was a War
rant sworn Out by Miss Rustin
Against PhiIips-Philips and Sew
craI Relatives in Jail.
Albany. Co. Jan 2S.-The details of
shocking tragedy that occurred late sat
urday night near Colquitt, Miller county,
were received here this afternoon. The
locality is Isolated and events that tran
spire there do not reach the outer world
readily, hence the facts only became gen
orally known to-day.
Parties from the scene who reached Ar
lington to-day give the following details:
At a late hour Saturday night a party
of armed men, disguised as whitecaps,
went to the house occupied by old man
Rustin and family, and one of them act
ing as spokesman, called to the inmates
90 come out. Old man Rustin arose and
opened the door His appearance was the
signal for volley of shots, some of which
struck him, bringing him to the floor.
A grown son and daughter of the old
man, on hearing the firing, became
frightened and presumably attempted TO
escape, but they. too, were fired upon by
the whitecap mob and shot down. The
son died in a few minutes and advices
just received here state that old man Rus
tin has also passed away from the effects
of his wounds. The daughter is not dan
gerously injured and will recover.
The Rustins were respectable, indus
trious people, attentive TO their affairs and
well thought of. The better class of Mil
Ter county's citizens are highly indignant
over the affair and were at a loss to i'm
agine what could have actuated the
whitecappers in their bloody work until
to-day, when it developed at the inquest
that the cause of the shooting was be-
cause Miss Rustin had sworn out a war
rant for man named Philips. The coro-
ner's jury returned a sealed verdict.
Philips, his father and two brothers, two
cousins of Philips and a man named Cleve-
land, have been placed in jail.

TRAINS For BROWNSVILLE.
Reports. of New Railroads That Are
to Re Built There.

W. IneEes
ThomasviAe, Ca, Jan. 23.-Another reg
ular passenger train has been put on by
the Plant System 20 run between Way
cross and Townsville. AT Waycross it will
connect with the New York and Flor
ida vestibule at II 40 o'clock a. m, reach
ing Thomasville at $40 o'clock p. m. Re
turning, it will leave Thomasville at 11;5O
o'clock a. nj. and connect with the North
bound vestibule at Waycross. This train
Will prevent any layovers at Waycross,
and be a great benefit to Thomasvile.
The Piney Woods Hotel has every room
engaged. Eleven more private parlors and
large number of additional private bath
rooms have been added to accommodate
the demands Of the present patrons, The
other houses in the city are also doing
well.
The air Is full Of rumors of new rail-
roads to Townsville. The prospects are
very bright for at least one new line in
the near future. Ii is now claimed that
the law against one road paralelng an
other will prevent the Atlantic, Valdosta
and Western from getting 90 Albany via
Moultrie. This will lead that road to drop
further south and divide the territory be-
tween Thomasville and Moultrie about
equally, thus throwing its main line so
near to Townsville that a branch to the
latter city will be easily built.
This road seems TO have abundant funds
and is steadily carrying out its original de-
signs. The Pidcocks and their associates
are determined TO build to Townsville
from Moultrie, and the great projected
trunk line from Anderson, S. c., 10 Car
rabelle, Fla. is to pass through Thomas
vile. connecting it more closely with Tai
lahassee and the Gulf.

Mining Stock Market Was Much De-
pressed Yesterday.
ADVANCE IN ONTARIO
BUT NO STOCK OFFERED AT PRE-
VAILING PRICES.
Joe Bowers Extension Was Active,
But Showed a Decline-Valeo of
Park City Improves, While Mann
moth Loses What It Had Gained
Yesterdays Sales of Stock.

Yesterday was a decidedly dull day
in mining circles. The exchanges did
light business and absolutely no trad
ing of any consequence was done on
the curb. Brokers expressed the opin-
ion that it was the dullest day they
have had since last year.
Joe Bowers Extension was the most
important seller on the Salt Lake eX-
change. The stock was wanted badly
and there seemed to be plenty in evil
dence to supply the demand. The
prices were considerably lower than
for several days Mammoth felt the
depression in the market and 100 shares
were taken in at $1.9S.
Northern Light held its own and eX-
changed at stationary figures.
Ontario was considerably stronger
and SS.25 was bid for the stock, but
none was offered at that price. Four
Aces was in a better shape and showed
some advance.
Valeo was another Park City stock on
the upgrade. Altogether 500 shares
found buyers and one block of 400
shares brought S1.25.
On the Utah exchange Four Aces was
about the only stock showing improve
ment. All the others remained about
stationary. Utah Saltpetre was wanter
to the extent of 5000 shares, which
went at x cent d share. Joe Bowers
sold at 15$i and Northern Light held
its own at 1914.
Oriental sold at cents and Golden
Eagle, the Nevada property which
has a shipment of ore coming in, was
strong at 67z cents.
Summing up the whole situation the
market was in a feverish condition,
and was far from being what it ought
to be.

SPRANG UP in A DAY.
Town building Record Won B.
Mountainview. o. 7.

Ell Reno, o. T. May 1.-THE greatest
town building record in Oklahoma has
been won by Mountain View, Washita
county. Monday the townsite was a
prairie. The same day it was surveyed
and plated, and a large portion of it
sold and settled upon. Wahita river
was bridged. and a vast amount of ac-
cumulated freight was moved and To-
Gated. The town was organized and
differed, and all lines of business and
professions started in lines of organized
society.
The town in one day became a city
of nearly 500, with W. T. V. Yates as
| mayor. Senator G.. W. Bellamy as
treasurer. and Colonel John kerfoot as
police judge, with a full complement Of
councilmen and minor officers of an or
ganized town. Some of the lots were
valued as high as $500 within thirty
minutes from the time the surveyor
drove his stakes.
Mountainview is the western ter
minus of the Rock Island extension
across the COmanche and Apache coun-
| try, and ii is on the WaShita a the 10
of the mineral-bearing Washita noun
tain. Scores of settlers had been camp
ed along the Washita river waiting for
| the location of this mining town of Ok
lahoma, and when the location became
fixed the stampede began
