repairable loss, the wife and child Of

ceased, and the life eternal Of the de-
parted commended to God. Also
that this expression OF Pythian feel

THE FIGHT YESTERDAY.
Nettie Hill, CoIored, Seri-
ousIy Cut.

Mention was made in yester-
days daily Of fight between Deck
Title and colored man named
Tat Hawkins, which occurred Just
before the daily was put to press.
The particulars in the case, as
best we can learn, are about as
follows:
Deck Title passed a colored
woman by the name of Nettie Hill
on the street near the crossing of
the Katy track and made some re-
mark, to which the woman took
exceptions and struck Title. At
this juncture Tat Hawkins inter-
fered in the womans behalf and a
fight begun. Parties who Witness
ed the fight say that each man
threw rock that would have re-
suited fatally had they not gone
wide Of the mark. Title struck
Hawkins in the back of the head
with lump of coal, drawing con-
siderable blood; he also cut a cash
in Hawkins arm with a knife.
Titles face shows that he got
several severe licks.
The woman received a knife
wound across the abdomen which |
necessitated about twenty-five
stitches by the doctors. This
morning the woman is reported as
being not dangerously cut.
Title was taken into custody
soon after the fight yesterday and
will be held for hearing.
The "Riot act" must beread to
the colored contingent living out
side the corporate limits but who
heretofore have fraudulently cast
their votes in the election for city
officers. Every qualified elector
who resides within the corporate
limits has right to cast his vote
and have it fairly counted, but out
siders have no snch rights and the
Times serves notice on all such
right now that every mothers son
of those who try to cast fraudu-
lent vote will get into very serious
trouble. -Muskogee Times.

THE COTTON MARK Ell.

There have been 100000 bales OF cot
ton brought into sight in the United
States since September l, or for the sew
enty days OF the season that have elapsed.
The into sight" statement issued BY
Secretary Hester means the amount OF
cotton that has come forward at the
counted interior towns and the takinss
by mills at Southern ports. 1t does not
include the entire amount that has beeA
marketed this season. as doubtless mil
LION bales more than thus far counted by
the statisticlans have been gnned and
baled and arc now at small towns or en-
route to the large Interior centers. From
this /, can be safely estimated that in
two months and ten days the South has
placed 800 600 bales OF cotton on the
market

amount OF cotton-nearly one-half of the
years estimated crop-in so short a time
