COLONEL PREACHER KILLED.
Had Been in Trouble with People
of His own Color.

Had Been in Trouble with People
of His own Color.
Dublin. Ga, March 9.-Early yester-
day morning or late Satui day night
last, Joe clifford, a negro Bapt st
preacher with a shady reputation, was
murdered near the Dublin Cotton Mills
and the body thrown alongside the
track of the Macon, Dublin and Sa-
vannah Road, probably to create the
impression that the killing had been
done by a passing train.
The murder was committed by strik-
ing Clifford on the back of the head
with an ak or a blunt instrument.
Death was probably instantaneous, the
skull being badly fractured
Some months ago Clifford had some
trouble with a family of negroes
named Holloman. A general row en-
sued and Clifford shot Ellis Hollonlan
in the leg. He was tried at the last
term of court and was found guilty.
The jury recommended mercy and Gill
ford was fined as for a misdemeanor.
Saturday night last Clifford passed
the home of the Holloman family and
that is the last time he has been seen
alive. He was drinking at the time,
and stopped at the Holloman house
and had some words with some women
there. He then left. 1t is the theory
Of the officers that Ellis Holloman fol-
lowed him up and killed him with an
ak. Ellis Enoch. Cleveland and En-
ma Holloman have been arrested and
are now in Jail charged with the muir
der. The evidence against the Hollo-
mans is not strong but it was suffi-
cient for the coioner's jury to order
them held.

WHITECAPS WHIPPED

band of whiteoaps near Barwick last
Friday. They entered the house of
Charles Hammons. claiming to have a
warrant for him and his son, and took
them out in the woods and gave them
a severe beating. They then gave the
men forty-eight hours to get out of the
state.
They attempted to take Lee Wright.

them and lay hid in the swamp all
night. They finished up by firing into
the house of Scott Wilson, fatally
wounding his boy. All the victims are
said to be respectable negroes, and no
reason is known for the whitecaps'
action. They were disguised, and none
of the party were recognized.

Senate Committee VIII Give It's
Consideration Tomorrow.
Washington. March 9,--The Senate
Committee on Foreign Relations will
not meet tomorrow to take up the Gu
ban treaty. but probably will hold a
session Wednesday to report it.
Quite number of Democratic SEN
etors are opposed to the treaty, and
while they say they have no desire to
prevent a vote, they intend to present
their views briefly up the measure.
The Republicans who favor the
treaty count on three or four more
than the necessary two-thirds' major
ity TO ratify it. There is a probability
of discussion branching out upon con-
stitutional questions involving the
right of the Senate to make a treaty
affecting the revenues of the govern
ment without the concurrence of the
House of Representatives. 1t is the
present intention of the Foreign Rela-
tions Committee to press the treaty to
a vote as soon as the Colombian treaty
is out of the way

Here Is One That Not Only Fought

Lyons. Ga, March 9.-Thls is no
snake story but actual. as best can
be found from circumstances at least.
About two weeks ago DR.. r. D. Nc
Leod bought a live rattlesnake, be-
tween three and four feet long, and
confined him in a cage made of safe
wire with board bottom and ends. At

last week. Last night Shelton How

the snake was kept, left the snake and
rabbit and frogs all right For a good
part of the evening and when he put
out the lights, the snake appeared to
be very angry. 1t was in a coil sing
ing his rattles and showing. other
signs of intense excitement.
This morning when he opened the
store the rabbit was the only living
thing in the cage. The snake and the
frogs were dead.
The snakes head. with the excep-
ton of the bone. was completely

two inches. leaving the bone as white
as this paper upon which l am writ
ing.
At least fifty men have seen the
snake and rabbit to-day and the YER
dict is that the rabbit killed the snake.
The signs in the cage are that the
combat was fierce, S the ends and
tioor of the cage are smeared with
blood. The rattles are off of the
snakes tail and scattered about the
cage. The supposition is that tho
snake beat them off against the cage
in the fight. 1t is also supposed that
the frogs were beat to death by the
contestants.
With the exception of a little fur
off on one side the rabbit appears to
be safe and sound.

round and the consequence was that
one stood OF looking at the other and
waiting for him to begin so that Jess
Woods, the referee, called out TO the
audience: Gentlemen, II these men

the sporting fraternity for this dec
laration. A little later. he admonished
the fighters that they would have to
get in and drill or he would carry out
his threat. Harris thereupon turned
toward his corner and attempted to
throw off his gloves, but went back
again and resumed the fight.
At the end Of the fourth round, the
referee threw up his hands to tell the
crowd that there was no decision.
