THE FLANAGAN CASE.
The Prisoner is Mentally Unfit for
 Trial.

Atlanta, Ga., January 9.-Judge Candler, in the DeKalb county superior court, today continued indefinitely the case of the state against Edward c. Flanagan, the double murderer, which was brought up today for the fourth trial. This action was taken because of the testimony during the day of Dr. J. l.. Mcdaniel, county physician, who stated that he believed the prisoners mental and physical condition was such to unfit him for trial.
 Three times pr. McDanel had sworn that he believed Flanagan sane and was feign- ing, and in all three of the former trials pr. Mcdaniel has been one of the strong est witnesses for the state.
 Judge Candler on hearing the evidence immediately appointed committee of three doctors to investigate the prisoners s condition and adjourned court awaiting the verdict.
 The physicians reported this evening that they were unable to contradict pr. Me Daniels testimony, and considered the doctor more competent to judge than they were This affirmation had it's effect on the court and Judge Candler issued or der indefinitely continuing the case. It is not believed Flanagan will eyer be tried again, but will be sent to the insane asylum at Milledgeville
 The case which is believed to have been closed by todays order is the most famous ever before the Georgia courts. Flanagan, who came here from Kentucky four years ago, murdered aged Mrs. Allen and a visitor, Ruth Slack, and wounded George Allen, a son of the murdered woman, on New Years eve, 1896. at Popular Springs. few miles from Atlanta. Flanagan boarded with the Aliens and had formed an at tachment for the 10-year-old daughter of the head of the family.
 Flanagan contended that the father was trying to separate them. The case has been in all the Georgia courts, and famous insanity experts from all parts of the world testified at different times during the trials.

 Senor Masso also said he was not in sym- pathy with the men who were continually objecting to everything done in the island by the Americans. It was only necessary to see Santiago, he continued, to witness the magnificent results of American rule, and he trusted provincial and civic auton- omy would be granted to the Cubans under a nominal military head at Havana.

 IN INFERIOR COURT

him for these nine years, but he sought so- cial pleasures at the colored club In Third avenue. There Martin Booker called him dude nigger," and trouble began The scrap was started up in the club rooms, and was renewed on the way down stairs in front of the Southern Sentinel office, colored paper published by R. L. Ruffn. The first thing Ruffin knew, Booker came bursting through the door with Jim Prince and his brother, Haywood, after him. Editor Ruffn scented serious trouble at once, and realized that unless he took stringent measures, and took them quick, that the Sent'nefs printing outfit would not be capable of turning out the next edi- tion. He therefore seized the stuttering Prince and pushed him out of the door. but Prince immediately started back again. Just as his head got in the deor the fleeing Hooker, who had in the meantime fortified himself with a lamp let fire the said lamp, striking Jim on the side of the head. Hooker testified that the .amp weighed three pounds. Prince. swore it weighed fifteen, but it was not hard to explain this screpancy in the testimony.
 Jim thought that 1t was the pencil pusher who had thrown the lamp. so he turned on Ruffn with his knife. As he did so, Ruff fin slammed the door and the panels re- ceived the knife stab intended for him. By this time other parties appeared on the scene, and the Sentinel will go to press as usual.
 Judge Feagin decided that Jim was not guilty of intent to murder, but only of as- auI xuit for v.rI,i iob bo the city $l0 and costs For calling Jim a dude and bringing on the row, the judge gave Booker $5 and costs.

CHASING AN OUTLAW
Pursuing Cuban Major Who Turned
 Renegade.

Savannah, Ga, January 9-Allen Bond a leading business man of this city has just returned from Baracoa, Santiago province. He has an interesting story of the pursu and capture of the Cuban major who turned brigand as reported to Washington and re- ferred to in the Associated Press dis patches last ight Mir Bond says:
 ''While I was at Baracoa Colonel Wiley was notified by Colonel Ray at Guantanamo that a former major of the Cuban army had organized a band stolen horses and committed other depredatons in that dis trict and was Believed to be heading for Baraeoa. The information was turned over to Captain Gallano, of the Cuban gen1- armes, who ascertained that two members of the gang had been Sat Baracoa during the day but had left several hours before.
 He immediately started in pursuit, send ing some small squad. of men on each road, himself heading one squad. He pursued the gang for twenty-five miles over the rough roads of that country and finally caught the major and some of his men in a house which the party surrounded. He brought in the machete and spurs of the late major whom he stated had been killed while endeavoring to escape"
 Speaking of the work of the Cuban con- stabulary or gendarmes, MT. Bond says: '"They do a remarkable work There are about thirty of them in the Baracoa dis trist. The whole country is filled with des- perate characters. As soon as it becomes known that a man is desperate character or that he has been guilty of any outrage ous offense, his name is placed upon the blacklist. This list is turned over by Colo nel Wylly to Captain Gallano, who proceeds to hunt the criminal down. Usually a ma- chete and a pair of spurs are brought in by the gendarmes as evidence that no further trouble may be eXpecter from the parties undeer the ban.'

SULLIVAN WAS EASY.
Gardner Knocked Out the Irishman in
 Seventeen Rounds.

New York, January 9-The fight between Oscar Gardner, the "Omaha Kid,' and Dave Sullivan, of Ireland, ended disas- trously for the latter in the seventeenth round before the Lenox Athletic club to- night. Sullivan seemed full of fight when the seventeenth round opened, and went right to his man. In clinch the legs of both boxers became entangled and Sullivan fell to the floor. The moment he got up Gardner planted two fearful right-hand swings on Daves head and put the Irish man down and out with wild left hand swing which landed on Sullivans mouth. All three of the blows were delivered with in ten seconds and the last one sent Sulli- van into the land of nod for the first time in his ring career.

BETTORS FANCY THE KID
Confidence of Each of the Gladiators in His Own Ability Borders on the Marvellous The Sailor
 Stronger ofthe Two.

New York; January 9.-"Tomv sharkey and Kid" Mccoy both profess to be ready and eager for the contest in the Lenox Ath- letic club tomorrow night, when they will battle for $20,0OO purse. They completed their training today, and are as fit as hn- man hands can make them. The confidence of each man in his ability to triumph bo- ders on the marvellous.
 Admirers of either man may or may not have their doubts. Not so with Sharkey and Mccoy. Each is as calmly confident of victory as if the battle had already been fought and won. Sound of wind quick and scientific, these men should put up one of tne best contests in the history of pugilism. They have youth, strength, agility and science Where one is weak the other is strong. Mccoy is the more scientific, Shar- key the stronger of the two.
 In quickness there is little to choose from between them. In height and reach Mccoy has the advantage. In steadiness, Sharkey Is more than his match.
 Among the bettors the bulk of the money is being placed on Mccoy. The bettors argue that McCoys cleverness will carry him safely over every mine that Sharkey may plant for him and enable him to ride saIeIy over the Sallor when ne ls dt his stormiest. The men who stand by Shar- key-and they are legion-say that the sai.or will be on top of his man at all stages, anu all he wants is to land one good punch. They are confident that the sailor will land that punch and that it will decide the con- test in his favor. No man that Sharkey gets going. over ever comes back they say.
 Tommy Ryan, of Syra euse, came in town today and boxed three rounds with Shar- key. The sailor did not find great deal or difficulty in getting to Ryan, and this Tact strengthened the confidence of all those Of his admirers who witnessed the set-to.
 q think Sharkey will win" Ryan said later in the day. But Mccoy will out point him in the early stages of the con- test Weight tells. The sailor has the weight, and I think he will weary the Kid down and probably knock him out before the twentieth round"

A peculiarity of Franks affliction is that he can talk only to bar keepers, ordering his whisky viva voce. l. struck the officers that there was some thing unusual about this, so they run him in.
 Yesterday morning Frank approached close to Judge Feagin and began his jab- bering.
 "Get away, get away from here,' ex- claimed the judge. Take him off," And the judge soaked fine to him without even giving him a chance to take the witness stand and defend himself.
