WANTED TO SHOOT PERKINS.
NEGRO IDENTIFIED AS MRS. FAR
LEN,s AssAILANT.

Arrested by Deputy Sheriff Cochran
and Taken Before Her, She Cried
out ole Is the Man"-Her Husband
Was Then on the Point of Filling
Him with Lend-He Was Saved,
However, and Taken to At
Ianta.
Griffin. Ca, Sept. deputy Sheriff A.
J. Cochran arrested a negro last night,
who is thought to be the villain who at
tempted TO assault Mrs. Monroe Farley
Tuesday night of last week.
The negro was arrested about four miles
from town on Tup Freeman's place, and is
Bob Lee Perkins
Mr. Cochran carried the negro before
Mrs. Farley to have her identify him. AS
soon as she saw Perkins she screamed to
her husband: "Oh, Lord, Monroe, he is
the man"
When she made that statement it was
all Cochran could do 10 prevent MIR. Far
ley from shooting the negro down in his
tracks, but the officer finally got the negro
from the house and hurried him to jail.
The story of Perkins arrest was kept
very quiet and comparatively few people
knew anything about it until the negro
was on his way 10 Atlanta for Eafe-keeD-
ing.
Sheriff Morris left with his prisoner on
the early train this morning, and he is
now in the Tower, where he viii remain
until he is brought down for trial at the
January term of Spalding Superior Court.
Mrs. Farley says she saw the negro very
plainly on the night of the attempted as
sault, and is convinced beyond any shad-
ow of doubt that Perkins is the same.
Mr.. Cochran says the negro denied being
guilty of the charge preferred against
him, but was frightened nearly to death
when he was finally placed in jail.

$780, 600.
From what can be ascertained none
of the insurance companies will contest
their policies, as all contain the non-con-
testable clause, and there Is no ground
at all for the suspicion that Mr.. Landauer
did not take out his policies in bona
fde spirit.
Aside from a few minor requests to rel
atives in Germany. the fortune goes to
the widow and five children of the de-
ceased. V. II. Kreigshaber, brother in

INSURGENTS ROUTED.
Colonel LOckett Sends Them
Scampering Into the
Mountains.

Manila, Dec. 2S.-Col. Lockett, with a
force of $500, including artillery at
tackled this morning a strong force OF
insurgents entrenched in the mountains
near MOntalban. about five miles north
east of San A1ateo. The enemy were
completely routed, the Americans pur-
suing them through the hills, amid
which they fled in every direction.
Four Americans were wounded. The
Filipino loss was large, resulting from
9. heavy infantry and artillery fire for
three hours into the trenches.
It is supposed that the insurgents
were those who We're driven out of San
Mateo on the day Gen Lawton was
killed They numbered probably a thou
sand
A dozen lines of insurgent trenches
covered the steep trail through the hills
and likewise the valley below along
which the Americans passed. The main
attacking party consisted of the Forty
sixth volunteer infantry, d troop of
cavalry and artillery, Col. Lockett com
handing in person. The rest of the
command operated from remote points
in an endeayor to carry out Col Lock
etts plan of throwing his lines around
the enemy and thus cutting of retreat.
The nature of the mountainous country
made it impracticable to execute this
movement successfully
After the insurgents began to run
there was a vain attempt to use artil-
Iery.

minister to the Netherlands during the
civil war.
Mr.. Pike came to ST. Paul in 1888. In
early life he was one of the first Free
Sellers and one of the founders of the
Republican party in Massachusetts. In
1S47, while a member of the Maine legis-
lature, he wrote the resolutions which,
according to the custom of that time,
brought before the people the name of
Taylor for the presidency. Later he
was one of the group of the first Re
publicans in the Massachusetts legisla-
ture. In 1859 he removed to Wisconsin
and founded the Oshkosh Northwestern,
which during the war was a radical
supporter of Lincoln. In 1865 he was
appointed solicitor of the internal reve-
nue. department and assistant attor-
ney general of the United States.
