TRAIN CREW IS AMBUSHED.

wAYCRoSs. Ga, Oct. n.-News reach
es here from Nichols that the force on
one of the Southern Pine company's log
trains was fired upon Wednesday night
from ambush near Nichols.
1t seems that this is a renewal of old
troubles that began last spring when the
company began to cut timber from GER
tain lands that had formerly belonged to
some of the natives. The right to cut
this timber was disputed, but as the COM
pany had a clear title to II there was
no legal grounds to fight their claims and
threats were made against the employees.
Later there was some of the timber spiked
and number Of saws were ruined when
the logs were sawed.
Now the employees are intimidated by
new dangers which threaten their lives
like the volley of shot that struck the en-
CINE Wednesday night and 1t is rather diff
ficult to get men to go into the woods to
cut logs.

NEW YORK, Oct . 10-Resolutions
against the reckless admittance of unde-
sirable immigrants to the United States
were adopted yesterday at q largely at
tended meeting of the Merchants and
Manufacturers board Of trade of New
York. In the resolutions it was stated that
our standing abroad as a law-abiding peo-
pie was injured by immigrants imbued
with the idea that it was proper to assas-
sinate presidents.
President Roosevelt was urged to give
the matter attention in his message to
congress. n2
1t was resolved that no immigrants
should be allowed to land in this country
without the production Of a proper certih-
cate from a United States consul giving
sufficient information TO enable the i'm
migration officials to pass intelligently up
on the expediency of granting the privi-
lege of residence in the United States.

An Afghan Trick.

During Il shooting match in the pres
ence of the governor of kandahar the
sirdar noticed To his establishment that
the heads of sparrows were the ia
vorite butt of the marksmen, who but
seldom missed their aim, whereupon
he declared that il was far more diff
cult to hit an egg. Sir Peter laughed ut
the supposition, but the sirdar stood
his ground. and the matter was put to
the test. An egg was suspended on q
wall. and the soldiers fired at 1t; but,
strange to say, not one Of them hit the
egg.
The governor and his suit kept their
countenances and excused the nonsuc-
cess of the firing party on the ground
of the difficulty of the thing. At last
a ball happened to hit the thread to
which the egg was fastened and it fell
to the ground without breaking. Now
the mystery was solved. The cunning
Afghan had used blown egg, and
the featherweight shell had been NOV
ell aside each time by the current of
air in front OF the ball and thus escap-
ed being hit.

However, there was one man on the
