AFTER CRIMINALS
CURTIS sHoT DOWN BY NEGROES At
LIBERTY CITY.
SOME FIRED FROM AMBUSH.
FEELING AGAINST THE NEGROES IS
MOST INTENSE.

Curtis Had Gone to Assist j. t. Gill
in Arresting Turner Johnson-The
Negro Fired Upon Them and His
Friends. Fired From the Bushes
Gill Shot in the Hand-TroubIe Is
Feared When the Negroes Are
Captured.
Liberty City, Ga, Aug 15.-Robert C.
Curtis was shot and killed here to-day by
a negro named Turner johnson, alias Dot
son. and by Frank Hines, Ed Shuman,
Henry Harris and William Burney, from
ambush. ]. T. GillAwas also shot in the
hand.
on yesterday Johnson used some very
profane and obscene language in the pres
ence of lady, member of the family of
C. j. Mcdonald, a leading merchant and
citizen here, and warrant was sworn out
for his arrest and placed in the hands of
j. T. Gill for execution.
Gill and Curtis went to Johnson's house
near here and arrested him, and were re-
turning along the public road when John
son demanded that the warrant be read
Gill started to comply and johnson
quickly drew pistol, fired twice at Gill,
and turning, fired two shots at Curtis. At
the same time the negroes concealed in
the bushes beside the road fired at Gill
and Curtis, but only struck Curtis hit
ting him in a number of places, and one
shot from a Winchester struck him in the
spinal column.
Curtis fell to tie ground but was up
in moment, and returned the fire as did
Gill, and the latter is positive that he
struck Johnson at least twice.
Only One of Them Caught.
The negroes then came out of the bush
es in which they had been concealed and
opened a fusilade on Gill, who retreated
to the station after placing Curtis under
tree by the roadside. Arriving here, he
sent DR.. Roach to Curtis, but the doctor
found him dead.
Gill summoned a crowd of citizens but
on arriving at the scene of the outrage
the negroes had disappeared.
Later on Hines was captured and is now
in charge of the sheriff.
A large number of citizens from differ
and many are securing the country for
the murderers. Considerable excitement
PREVAILS end the feeling against the ne
groes is so intense that Sheriff Brewer
may not be able to protect the murderers
in case they are captured.
The country will be secured
tomorrow more closely and ID is pretty
safe to say that the negroes will be cap
tured.
Curtis was from Raleigh, N. c., and
cierked for L. F. Conner az this place.
He was an excellent young man of good
character and habits. His brother was
sent for and arrived here late tonight.
Sheriff Brewer has also under arrest
negro named Allen Coley
Serious trouble is feared, though the
best citizens are doing all they can to
have the law take its course.

Take Place Friday.

New York, Aug. 15.-The body Of Coils
P. Huntington, who died on Monday at
his lodge in the Adirondacks. was brought
10 this city to-day on a special train over

When the train drew into the station and
the party left their special car, Mrs.
Huntington. wearing deep mourning and
heavily yelled, was escorted to the family
carriage at the entrance. She was driven
at once TO the family residence.
In speaking Of the death of Mr.. Hunting
ton, Private Secretary Niles, who was
present at the time, said to-day:
HIS death was very sudden. II was
due to heart disease, or to be more tech
meal. DR.. Coley states that death was
due 10 cerebral apOpleXy. Mr. hunting
ton was attacked with a severe coughing
iust after retiring His wife and he oc-
cupied the same apartment. aud when the
coughing attack came on Mrs. Hunting
ton gave him a glass Of stmuants, as she
had always done before. This seemed to
relieve him for a moment. Then he said
10 Mrs. Huntington. I am very, very H.
Those were his last words, and he sank
into unconeoi ousness a moment later"
Princess Hatfield, the late Mr.. Hunt
ington's adopted daughter who Is now in
London. and who was TO have sailed for
home yesterday on the steamer Majestic,
did not salt. She was notified by cable Of
the death OF Mir. Huntington, and being
unable TO he present at the funeral will
delay her coming for a short time.
While no decision has been reached NJ,

BIG NEWS MUST COME SOON.
Continued from First Page

Goodnow at Shanghai. The State Depart
ment declined to make known the con-
tents of the Goodnow dispatch This
opened a wide field for conjecture, the
most generally accepted view being that
Mr.. Goodnow had advised against the plan
of delivering the legationers outside the
city of Pekin.
Getting at Cipher Messages.
The cipher experts were busy with a
dispatch from Consul Fowler at Che Foo,
which was so unintelligibe that it had 10
be returned 10 the telegraph company to
be repeated. So far as it could be
deciphered, it appears to repeat message
sent by Minister Conger to Fowler tell
ing the latter that the situation was be-
coming more critical at Pekin and that
the Chinese authorities were seeking 10
compel the legationers to leave the city
under Chinese escort. 1t is possible that
the message. which is quite long. will con-
vey additional information when its COM
plications are unraveled.
With the army at Matow. 1t is felt that
any one of several conditions might be
presented in the near future. The Chi
nese officials concurred in the belief ex-
pressed by the Chinese minister at Lon
don that there would be a speedy and
sudden change, and peace within the
next few weeks. on the other hand, Ba-
ron Speck Won Sternberg regards Tung
CHOW, midway between Matow and Pekin,
as the real battle-ground and Secretary
Root is inclined to accept this view.
Some of the japanese officials believed
that when the allies reach Tung Chow
ahead of them. as it wes recalled that
these tactics of withdrawal had occurred
in 1860 when the British-French expedi-
ton reached Tung Chow. In the alb
sence of all positive information as 10
what the allied armies will do, these con-
lectures from the best posted sources
serve to show the various serious posi-
bilities forming "a part of the present
crisis.
Not Like Conger's Message.
The message of the French minister at
Pekin, NJ. P.chon, 10 the French foreign
Office, was al first regard d here as iden-
teal with the last Conger message which
the state department. has not made pub
lie. But without disclosing the nature Of
the Conger message. the officials made a
sufficient comparison between the Pichon
and Conger messages to show that they
wore not identical in language or general
settlement. on the contrary it was clear
that each minister was Forwarding TO his
government his cwn adv.ces OH The sit
ualion, and that there had been no con-
sultation between the ministers before
these two dispatches were forwarded.
While the messages are not alike. 1t is
understood that they agree on oonsidera-
Die Of the information obtained.
TIE arrival Of President Mckinley in
town IS looked forward to with great
Interest IN view Of tie gravity OF the
crisis. The presidential party will be here

NO Preparations Made to Supply

Troops to That End.
Washington. Aug. 15.-It is considered
significant that no preparations are be-
ing pushed for the wintering of the
Anne rican forces in China. Both the com
missary and quar;e:master's departments
are ready to purchase and ship supplies
for the Chinese expeditionary force such
as would be needful in a winter cam
pa!gn. There are certain supplies which
would have to be taken, and that quite
speedily, unless there is a strong hope
that the American army will be out of
China before The Gulf of Pechli freezes
over which usually happens about the
first of November.
Preparations made up to a recent date
locke d TO the quartering of the American
force on Chinese soil through the winter
season. 1t cannot he sa that this expec-
tation has been entirely abandoned, but
1t Is certain that some of the final pur-
chases and preparatio ms are lspended for
the present, as though there were con-
siderable probability that they would not
