A LITTLE EXCITEMENT
Prevails Last Night When j. A.
Beaumont and Negro Cocaine
Fiend Tangle Up.

Last night J. A Beaumont, the
prominent tax collector and, at pres
ent, assistant city clerk, while going
to his home met with very vitupera-
tive negro, who was creating con-
siderable disturbance and using some
very foul language, and Mr.. Beau
mont, seeing that the negro was not
in a sane condition, stopped him with
the intention of carrying him from
where he found him near the Wind
sor Cafe to police headquarters and
there turning him over to the au-
thorities. All went we'll until the
corner leading to the city hall was
reached, and just in front of the
Commercial hotel things began to
happen. Although, as it afterwards
appeared, the negro was crazy
drunk on cocaine, he developing ex-
ceeding agility, and before any one
could say how it happened he had
Mr.. Beaumont down on the pave
ment. Mr.. Beaumont succeeded i'll
obtaining his pistol, but the negro got
this and in the struggle several shots
were fired, one striking and injuring
the negro's hand. Policemen and
citizens began to arrive on the scene,
and the negro was soon brought to
state of submission. In police court
this morning the negro, Will Martin,
confessed to being cocaine fiend
and plead ignorance of the previous
happening, saying that he was at the
time insane. With the exception Of
a few scratches Mr.. Beaumont was
unhurt by the negro's violent efforts
To kill him.

stricken the Pontitf had periods OF
tieeting delsrium. His sleep was fitful.
He suffered physical distress, and
WAS frequently unconscious.
Shortly after midnight the crisis
arrived. The physicians felt that
there could be but one outcome, and
in haste they summoned to the Vati-
can all Pope Leo's relatives, and
called to the sickroom Cardinals Ram
polla and Gotti and other church dig
nitaries.
Another indication late last night
of the closeness of the Pontiff to
death was the urgent calling of DR..
Rossoni to the Vatican by DR.. Lap
poni, in spite of the fact that the
fo,mer physician was i'll of fever.
The need of an immediate consulta-
tion was considered imperative.

Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, July IA queer story of
a long lost land warrant comes from
Attala county. Gen. Richards, of
Grenada county, WAS one of the
conspicuous figures in the Seminole
war, and as recognition Of his ser.
vices the government gave him valu-
able homestead rights in Florida.
The warrant was granted some time
before the late civil war, bat Gen.
Stokes did not especially need the
property, being in comfortable cir
cumstances, and placed the warrant
among his private papers. During
the war the house was ransacked by
federal soldiers, and all papers snp.
posedly valuable carried away or des
troyed. The whereabouts Of the war
rant we're unknown until short tim,
since when citizen of one of tn,
northern states sent it to a Missis
sippi lawyer for the purpose of secur.
ing the endorsement of the beneficiary
or his heirs. Gen. Stokes is long sine,
dead, but members of the family wer
living, and without more ado the war
rant was turned over to the rightfu
oVners.

NAVAL MILITIA TO CAMP.
Local Tars to Go to Niantic on sar 1fr5ou+


 Local Tars to Go to Niantic on Sat urday.
 For the first time in several years the three divisions of the Naval Militia will spend their annual week of Camp at Mantle instead of on board of some boat of Uncle Sam's navy. This is in consequence of the fact that there are no boats now at the disposal of the navy department which they could spare for the use of the amateur tars.
 The armory last night was "a very busy place with the paraphernalia of the jolly tars strewn about in prepara- tion for the coming camp. There were canvas hammocks. bags, blankets, pill lows and numerous other articles, all numbered and ready for the various members to pick out and pack up in the smallest parcel possible.
 The members of the New Haven di- vision have orders to report to the state armory on Saturday morning at eight o'clock and be prepared to move to the depot in time to catch the 9:35 train.
