MAN HUNT IN ALABAMA
TWO NEGROES SURROUNDED IN A
SWAMP NEAR HURRICANE.

shoot Them III Found.

MOBILE, Ala, April S.-Reports from
Bay Minette, near here, in Baldwin county,
tell of a case of attempted arson by two
swamp near Hurrican bayou. At 10 o'clock
Saturday night the negroes were discovered
attempting TO set fire to a large store at
Bay Minette. They ran away, the fire was
extinguished, and chase was made after
the negroes by an armed posse. The rail-
road telegraph operator at Hurrican bayou
reported that he had seen two negroes
answering the description Of the ones want

One of the negroes was wounded by some
shots fired by the posse, and was being
assisted by his companion. The negroes
entered the swamp near Hurricane.
BlOodhOunds from convict lumber camp
at Dolvie, Ala, were sent down and picked
up the trail of the negroes at Hurricane
bayou. The dogs followed the negroes into
the swamp, which is now surrounded by
large force of armed men who Will cap
ture or kill the negroes as soon as they
show themselves. There has been no
chance for the negroes to make their es-
cape from the swamp and it is said their
capture is only question of time. One
of the posse, white man named Nc
Gowan, was shot in the arm and leg by
the fleeing men during a pistol fight. His
injuries are serious. The country in the
vicinity is highly aroused and there is
little doubt the negroes will be lynched If
captured by the posse.

rupuon Of the diplomatic intercourse De-
tween Russia and China. Mr. Wu had not
been advised OF any such development ana
the information before the State Depart
ment was so contradictory that 1t did not
permit any clear explanation OF the real
state of affairs The doubt arises from
the fact that Mr.. Rockhilfs latest ols-
patch does not mention any such disar-
rangement. and the officials feel bound TO
accept this as pretty strong evidence that
prior intimations OF discord have not taken
actual form. Yet the dispatch received

Aside from the telegraphic advices there
are some attending circumstances which
Indicate that at least some strain or partial
interruption OF intercourse has occurred.
The fact developed In Washington about a
week ago that Russia had delivered TO
China what amounted to an ultimatum on
the signing of the Manchurian agreement
This followed the usual course OF ulti-
matums and fixed a definite limit of days
within which China could act. Ii also con-
veyed the clear intimation that unfavorable
action by China would lead TO a severance
of diplomatic relations between the two
countries. The limit of time fixed is be-
lieved to have been one week and to nave
expired last Wednesday. China did not
sign within the time limit, and the next
day Thursday Russia addressed her note
to the powers, which has been accepted as
removing the pressure over the Man
churian agreement. This at first seemed
to be a waiver OF her prior intimation OF
an interruption of diplomatic intercourse.
and yet there no such explicit waiver,
and the latest a.vices from Peking report
ing that an interruption has now actually
occurred seem to be directly in line with the
threat previously conveyed.

JUSTICE DIxoN's RULING.
Opinion That Is Adverse 10 the Ac-
ton Taken Last Night.

NEW YORK, April S.-Justice Dixon. at
Trenton, y. j., to-day filed the opinion OF
the Court of Errors and Appeals in the case
brought by the minority stockholders OF the
American Smelling and Refining Company
to enjoin the purchase OF the property OF NJ.
Guggenheim & Sons. This opinion has
been awaited with great interest by cor
poration lawyers. as IL is considered most
important as affecting corporations in New
Jersey.
The Importance Of the opinion lies I'm the
construction placed by the court of Sec

court could not go beyond the decision OF
the board Of directors as TO the value OF
property TO be purchased by the issuing of

trary, holds that IL must be clearly shown
that the value of such property is at least
reasonably near the price 10 be paid. and
that the action of the directors Is subject
to review at the instance Of any stock
holder who considers himself aggrieved.
The syllabus of Justice Dixon follows:
Under Section 40 OF our corporation act.
when original issue OF corporate stock
plated, IL is the duty of the directors 10
see that the real value OF the property ~
at least equal 10 the face value OF the stock.
Before an original issue OF corporate
stock for property to be purchased takes
place the bonaflde judgment Of the direc-
tors as 10 the value OF the property. while
II is entitled 10 considerable weight, Is not
conclusive, but may be reviewed at the
instance OF existing stockholders. and r.
on such review by a court OF equity. the
value OF the property appears 20 be less
than the face value OF the stock. the issue
should be restrained. After stock has been
issued as fully paid stock for property -pur-

Dixon says the language OF Section sS OF
the corporation act is not questionable as

The language OF Section - Is even more
explicit, providing that the corporation
may issue stock 10 the amount OF the
value OF the stock. The distinction be-
tween the contemplated issue OF corporate
stock for property. and the issue for
money Justice Dixon finds. lies not in the
rule for valuation. but in the fact that
different estimates may be formed OF the
value or property. When such differences

Mr. Hornblower said Mr. Rice died on

will, he withheld it. His clients filed the
will of 1896 and presented it for probate
with the greatest diligence, so TO have
it proved They served their citations,
and ii was only when they were returnable
that Patrick took similar steps with regard
to the will Of 1900, though he claimed 10
be the real party of interest and that the
last will was executed for his benefit by
the testator and was genuine. I'VE had to
force him by proceedings before your Hon

was only several months after Mr.. Rice $
death that We succeeded in making him
do so. If he had only presented the will
he claims TO be genuine a week after the
testators death. this matter could have
been disposed of months ago, and If he Is
the innocent man he claims TO be. he could
have been vindicated BY your Honor's de-
cision. He preferred to pursue the dilatory
tactics and has succeeded in having this
case hung up until now. when he finds
himself confronted by a criminal prosecu-

A NEBRASKA HEROINE
PUPILS AND SCHOOL SAVED BY A
COOL-HEADED TEACHER.
Waded Through Water tn Her Waist
ing from Floating Away.

HARRISON Neb., April S-"An act of
heroism unsurpassed in the annals of the
State" is the expression being used by
Sioux county citizens in describing the per-
formance of Miss Lizzie e. Cottman, teach
er in the district school near here. Alone,
facing a torrent of water, carrying debris
of trees dead animals and all the refuse
of flood, she rescued from death the
scholars Of her school and preserved the
building itself from what seemed in
evitable destruction.
Teacher and pupils were unconscious of
the danger awaiting them. Suddenly Miss
Cottman felt strange movement under
her feet. Again it came, this time so strong
that the scholars looked up in terror. Step
ping TO the doorway Miss Cottman wit
messed a fearful sight White river was out
of its banks. The school building was
already surrounded and the rising
flood was menacing the frail frame
structure. Instantly Miss Cott-
mans purpose was formed. Across
the expanse of water. tugging at his long
rope was "A horse which had been ridden
by one of the scholars TO the school,
Springing out fearlessly into the flood Miss
Cottman waded in water more than waist
deep to the horses side. She fastened the
rope to the saddle and then TO the build

strength For three quarters of an hour
she stood at the horses head. up TO her
arm pits in the chilling torrent. Until one
OF the largest of the scholars waded across
TO land and returned with assistance from
neighbors. The children were rescued; the
building was safe.
Some signal recognition will be given
Miss Cottman by the county. but what
form it will take has not yet been de-
Cided.
