and done SO much to further the

competent and reliable correspond
ent OF the Raleigh Post, who. in his
correspondence OF Saturday in that

wise:
Major Hale. OF Fayetteville. who
has been interested i'll the UpperCape

day i'll behalf of that project. In a
conversation with Senator Simmons
about the remarks of Chairman Bur-
ton. of the House Committee. with
reference to Major Hale. he said he
heard that gentleman's speech before
the House Committee and that he not
only did not give his case away by
any admissions, but that he made
the strongest speech i'll favor of the
Improvement that he has Vet heard. ?

clement there was good crowd. The
sub ect was:
"RtS0lred, That North Carolina

just recovering from a severe case of
mumps and Mr.. Daniel was suffering
terribly from hoarseness The Judges

P~rovocation Was Offered.

From Thursdays Daily Gazette.
Jim Miller, an employee Of the Lake
Basin Sheep company, was set upon
and brutally beaten by four drunken
ruffians about 9 o'clock last night.
Miller was knocked down and
stamped on the head by his assail-
ants, his face being terribly cut and
bruised. His most serious injury,
however, is the breaking Of the bones
of his right leg below the knee, one
Of the men having jumped on the
limb as he was lying PROSTATE with
one foot on the sidewalk and his body
On the ground.
Chief Of Police Jackson and. Ser
geant Hayden were in the neighbor-
hood at the time and hearing Miller's
cries they rushed .lp and captured
all four of the men and lodged them
in Jail. Their names are Ed Walling,
Robert Warner, AL Glover and Fred
Morris, and the officers say that they
have been employed as musicians IN
%disorderly houses.
Miller states that he was walking
down Minnesota avenue accompanied
by F. B. s~tapleton. a fellow employe
Of the Lake Basin company. AS they
were opposite q negro dive the mel
came out and with the statement
that they could whip anyone on the
street set upon Miller. He claims
that the assault was wholly unpro
voked, as he had not spoken to thu
men.
Miller was taken to the hospita
where he was attended by DR.. Lind
sey. The men who assaulted him ART
still in Jail and will not be tried un
til tomorrow. A state case will b.
made Of the assault.
