IMPENDING TROUBLE.
Twas Averted, and the Stetson Man
Escaped Injury.

The Stetson hat man, George +.
Laage, was around Saturday look
ing through the supply of his hats
the merchants had on hand, to de-
termine just what they did not
need-for this is the way his COM
pany does business. While he was
going through Badgett's stock,
Berger, who did not know Laage,
and was not used to seeing stran-
gers take just such liberties on
short acquaintance, eyed him
awhile, and just as he had decided
TO "give him the rum" concluded
to ask Tom Byrd about it. The
latter assured him twas all right,
explaining the matter and avert
ing a rucus.

THEY'RE ALL FIGHTERS.
Lee Phllpot of This City No Excep-
tion to the Balance.

The Kentucky feud between the
Bakers and the Howards and the
Philpots and the Morrisies and the
Griffins and the Gibbses is Just
now occupying the attention of the
whole country. A battle is looked
for daily, and just now the Phil
pots are the central figures, as
they are, on their own motion, be-
ing tried for killing some of the
Griffins and a man named Morris.
And to make sure they had fair
trial they brought the family con.
nection along, numbering 750,
which does not, however, include
Lee Philpot, a cousin, of this city.
He is, however, reading the pa
pers quite carefully and if it
should appear that the family
were not having a fair show, he
would probably strike out for
home on short notice. That he is
made out of the right kind of
stuff" is demonstrated by the
alacrity with which he hunted up
the recruiting officer last year the
day he heard that Uncle Sam was
ready to enroll such as were anx-
ious to go to Cuba. At present
Lee is employed at the Halsell
home in this city.

WANTS To GET HOME.
A Rough Rider Tried Central America
to His Sorrow.

Last year Gudger Coward, a rela-
tive of Mrs. W. 7. Whitaker, of
Pryor Creek, went to Cuba as q
soldier and wheS he got as far as
New Orleans on the way home
changed his mind and went to
Central America With some COM
rades. Like a good many other
Americans he with eight of his as
sociates was put in Jail and kept
there three months. He is now
out and is working on a railroad
for money to get home with. He
has heard nothing from his COM
panions and fears they were taken

TO EMIGRATE.
A Costa Rican Colony Being Organ
lied.

S. A. Perry was in the city to-
day talking about Costa Rica,
Central America. A man down in
his section has spent eighteen
months there and has come back
TO form a colony. A letter re-
ceived a few days since from a
man now in that country tells of
clearing $4,000 this season off 40
acres of bananss-which is better
than he realized of 40 acre corn
field in the Cherokee nation. A
party OF prospectors are going
down to "spy out the land" and
with that purpose have ordered
the material for a hatboat which
is to be built on Grand river and
by which they are going to make
their way to New Orleans. There
they propose TO take their boat
aboard one of the vessels engaged
in the trade with that country.
The intention is to start as soon as
the 1899 crop is gathered-per-
haps in September.

EVIDENTLY A FRAUD.
But He Took In a Good Harvest of
Nickles.

A paralytic was on the streets here
recently who without doubt struck it
pretty rich and was evidently fraud
He was wheeled along the streets in
a chair and gathered in the nickles
right and left. His legs twitched and
dangled against the chair and kept up
constant rattle. The man was a
pitiful sight and appealed to every
one. When questioned be said be
was not able to hold his limbs still
only on rare occasions when lying
down. So he was rolled up and down
the streets all day long begging every
where. Next merning after he had
worked the town he was seen in his
chair Al the depot quietly smoking a
cigar, resting from his labors. His
legs had ceased to clatter against the
chair, and he was ready for the next
town.

IMPRISONED THIRTEEN DAYS.
Two Colorado Minera Restored TO Their
Friends After a Most Remarkable
Experience.

Leadville, COL, March 23.--At II
o'clock last night, the two mine pump
men, Charles Reuss and Burt Frey,
who were imprisoned in the Bon Air
mine IS days ago, were reached by the
rescuers and restored to their friend
They show little effects of their ex-
perience. They were on the $50 foot
level when cave near the top of the
shaft cut them off from the outer world.
Fortunately the big water pipe was
not broken by the cave and by blow
ing a hole in it with dynamite the
men were enabled to communicate
with their friends who kept them sup
piled with food while new shaft over
200 feet deep was sunk. The cost of
rescuing the men has been over $1,000.

THE NEXT SENATE.
Republicans WIN Have Membership 0S
Fifty One, Exclusive OF Quay--Opposi-
tIon VIII Number Thirty Five.

Washington, March o. In three
states the legislatures have adjourned
without electing senator to the
Fifty-seventh congress- The first leg
islature to adjourn without action was
Utah; next came Delaware and then
California. Delaware and California
each has a republican legislature,
Utah an anti-republican, II not an out
right democratic body--so that the re-
publicans will lose two and the op"
position one, total difference Of two
on partisan vote. In Pennsylvania
the Legislature is still in session trying
to elect successor to Senator Quay,
but with strong prospects Of adjourn
ing without making a choice, practi-
cally leaving three republican and one
democratic state but partly represents
ed in the next congress.
The republicans will have total
membership in the Fifty.seventh con-
gress of 81, exclusive of a senator from
Pennsylvania, and not counting Stew
art, Jones and Kyle, who will vote
with the republicans on all questions
except silver. The total opposition
will number 50, which, with the va
cant seats of states having made no
choice, makes up the total Of
the 90 members of the up
per chamber, This gives rec
publican majority of 10 over
all, including Stewart, Jones and
Kyle in the opposition, and % when
they are included in the republican
column. In Nebraska a republican
succeeds populist; in Montana dem.
ocrat succeeds a silver republican, and
in Maryland, Wisconsin, New York,
North Dakota, New Jersey, West Vir-
ginia and Indiana democrats go out
and republicans take their seats.

Mccoy won, and won easily. He had
the fight in his hands, and at any one
of half dozen palpable opportunities
he could have administered decisive
and knockout blow. But again and
again he failed to follow up his ad.
vantage, and Choynski was considered
lucky to be able to stay the 20 rounds.

being brought up by her people.
Rather than see the children raised

to see them dead and, taking the OPP.
portunity offered, he put an end to
their lives. He said he killed them by
crushing their heads with Ratchet
and afterward cut their throats.

Texarkana, Ark, March -. "A race

during the past As hours an indefinite
number OF negroes have met their
death at the hands of an Infatuated
white population. Seven are known
to have been lynched, shot to death or
slain in some manner and the work is
not yet done. The bodies of the vic

ing to the limbs of trees in various
parts of the county, strung up where
ever overtaken, while that of another
who was shot to death while trying to
escape was thrown inUo a creek and
left there The country is in state
of most intense excitement.
White men are collecting in mobs,
heavily armed and determined; me-
groes are fleeing for their lives and the
community is in an uproar. The ex'
act number of me- roes who have been
summarily dealt with or those who
may yet fall into the hands Of the mob
before order is restored may never be

the establishment Of stable and peace

not be the new envoy, owing to the
fact that New York already has such
