stiiute was debated all day Thursday.
Friday Mr. Seabury announced during
the course Of his remarks that the
Hawkins substitute would BE- withdrawn
and in lieu of IL another substitute
would be eoffered. the effect Of which was
20 condemn the practice which had been
observed by the treasurer as unsafe by
declaring IL Illegal.
Mr.. Henderson Of lamar objected TO
this substitution. whorcupon Mr.. Sea-
bury had the new substitute read as
part Of his remarks The inference was
that an attempt would be made to get
IL in as the substitute later. but no such
attempt was made.
In the afternoon came the governors
message, showing that there were plans
on foot 10 reorganize the suspended
hank. Finally. late in the evening. the
oratory was checked and the voting
commenced. Tho Hawkins substitute
was pat up Il was substituted FOR the

rHeY TRIED TO KILL Hun.
Two Men and Two Women Assault
Henry Thornton.

Yesterday morning Deputies
Garrett and Henderson brought in
from near Woodford. Geo. Thomp.
son, Mitchell Folds, Ella Starks
and Lucy Folds, all colored
charged with assault to kill one
Henry Thornton.
From what could be learned it
was all a family affair. and when
Thornton drove one of the family,
Eliza Thompson. from the place,
the rest Of the family revolted,
and that seems to be what brought
on the difficulty.
The assaulting party were armed
with a Winchester, two large
bludgeons and a large bowlder.
They shot at Thornton but did
not hit him. but what they did do
for him with the above mentioned
sticks was plenty.
Lucy Folds, whom we were al
lowed to talk to in jail, says that
Thornton first mistreated her
(Lucy's mother and then drove
her sister from the place, and
when they went down to see about
it, he resisted, waving a sixshoot.
er with one hand, and brandish-
ing a razor with the other.
The whole affair was somewhat
complicated, and will only be
Strengthened out when it is brought
before the commissioner.
Ella Starks was released yester
day on bond and allowed TO go
home.
