THE BIG NEGRO FROLIC.
SEVEN THOUSAND OF THEM
WENT TO- ANDERSONVILLE.
The Day Was Quiet One, Only
Two Being Killed. Dawson
Negroes Got in Trouble.

Two killed and eleven prisoners
taken was the result of the great negro
frolic at Andersonville on last We'd
nesday, national decoration day.
The crowd numbered 1000 and many
of the excursionist went to the place
armed with raZors, pistols and win
chesters. Dancing, shouting and gamb-
ling were general among the tough ele-
ments gathered from every section of
Georgia and Alabama, and the sheriff
of Sumter county and strong posse,
backed by the military company of
Americas, preserved order as far as pos
sible. Several desperate hand to hand
encounters between the officers and
armed negroes took place, and the
wonder is that the list of fatalities was
not large one.
After night, and after the crowds had
left, two negroes were found dead in
the woods near Andersonville. Reports
saw that a woman killed one of the
negroes by shooting him with pistol.
During the day a great deal of promis-
cuous gambling was carried on in the
woods, and q dozen arrests were
made for it during the day, among them
being four Dawson negroes, Gus
Carter, General Laing, Dallis Beck
worth and Jim Leak. Eph Daniel, an
other Dawson negro, was also arrested,
the charge being concealed weapons
The prisoners were all taken to Am
CIRCUS, and, the grand jury being in
session, were promptly indicted They
entered pleas of guilty when arraigned,
and Laing has paid his fine of $50 and
returned home.

Quoted by representatives ofthe Grand

-From "Sones Of the Censns. .

From Songs OF the Census.
The work of enumerating the popu-
lation of the United States was begun
Friday morning last. The enumera-
tors for Terrell county were all ready
and started out promptly.
There are no fixed hours for the emu
merators to begin and leave off. They
are required to work ten hours day.
They may arrange the time to suit
themselves.
AS the enumerators have a limited
time in which to complete the census,
they should be given prompt answers
to all questions. A refusal to answer
them or the making of false statements
subjects person to heavy fine.
Some persons, ladies especially, hes
itate to give correct statement in re-
gard to their ages, fearing that some
man will learn how old they are.
There need not be any hesitancy on
this account, for the enumeratOrs are
gentlemen, and when sheet contain
ing 100 names) is filed it Is filed away,
and when the enumeration is complet-
ed they are sent to Washington, D. c.,
and kept in the census Office. AS there
are millions of names on these sheets,
it is hardly probable that the clerks
will 60 through the entire lot in order
to ascertain the age of any particular
person.
The live stock returns in the present
census will show decided increase
oyer those of the last census, from the
fact that every enumerator will make a
return of all horses, mules, cattle sheep
and goats.

Lost a Valuable Mare.

w. E. Penfield, of Minneapolis, a
well known travelling, man who for
merly lived in 0ttumwa, is in the city
with his wife visiting at the home of
her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. l.. A. Shew,
just received word Of the death of
his valuable pacing mare. Queen Lii,
iat Marshalltown, which has been a
great shock to himself and wife.
Queen Lii was a young mare with a
great future, and was worth before
she died probably $4,000. At Mar
shalltown last Thursday Queen Lii
won the 2:40 pace in seven heats, the
best time made being 2:20A. The
Marshalltown Tices-Republican states
in it's story of the days racing, that
the 2:40 pace was the hardest fought
of any during the entire meeting.
This was the mares first race of the
season and demonstrated what was
in her. Her sudden death takes from
the horse world very valuable ami
NAL. Speaking Of the wonderful work
of this animal, the Times-Republican
says: Queen Lii, the beautiful little
black mare, is owned by Mrs. W. e.
Penfield, now of Minneapolis. Mrs.
Penfield is an Ottumwa girl and for a
number of years resided at Grinnell.
Queen Lii is by Victor ", and her
dams have been owned by Mrs Pen
fields people for two or three gener-
atoms. The mare is wonderfully
leasy-gaited, steps without hobbies,
and in the entire seven miles travelled
was not hit once by her driver. She
appeared to race for the love of rae
ing, born and bred in her, and which
gave her the admiration of the large
rowd."

1899, and agreed to submit every year
thereafter during the life of the pol
icy another statement showing the
wages paid, and if they were greater
than $228,000, the amount paid be-
tween the above dates, the defendant
should pay an additional per cent, and
if less the per cent should be lowered
Plaintiff says that on November q,
1899, an estimate for the coming year
was submitted which showed $3.50, 1877,
or $14,377 more than between May l.,
1898, and May 1, 1899, and that there
is due plaintiff on the increased
amount, the whole amount being the
base on which the premium is figured
for insurance from loss, the sum Of
$71.63, for which plaintiff prays judg-
ment. The Dain Manufacturing COM
pany doubtless has good defense to
the cause of action, and when the
time comes for it to be tried in court,
will defend.
Paving Suit.
Mrs. q. A. Wood, by her attorney,
G. G. McIntire, has filed petition ask
ing that the county treasurer be re-
strained from selling her property on
East Second street on account of the
paving tax assessed against it and
that he also be restrained from MAX
Ing treasurer's deed to George Haw,
who has bought the first two certifi-
Gates. She also desires that the as
sessments made be declared unconsti-
tutional, as they were made by the
front foot rule and not according to
the benefits derived. She further
asks that she have judgment against
the city for the sum of $3S315, the
whole amount of the paving tax.
Wants Permit.
W. w. Ennis, by his attorney, John
B. Ennis, has filed a petition asking
that he be granted a permit to sell
Intoxicating liquors as registered
pharmacist. He states that he has
been in business in Ottumwa for thir-
ty years as a registered pharmacist,
and has never been adjudged guilty
of any crime connected with viola
ton of the pharmacy laws of the
state. The application is made in
conformity with the code which says
that the permit must state the length
of time it is to continue in force, the
old law making no such provision.
