YANCEY TEAM RUNA WAY.

Newark, July "A team belonging to Col. J. c. Yancey ran away with a wagon at Newark Monday, tearing the wagon to pieces. His three boys were thrown from the wagon but not hurt seriously. The runaway was caused by some one shooting one of the horses with bean flip. It is not known whether the horses were hurt or not. Among other freight the wagon contained 100 pounds of giant powder, but fortunately there was no explosion.

NEGRO MURDERER.

Osceola, July 8.-Arthur Shadden, a prominent young planter living about four miles south of Osceola, was shot and killed by negro tenant on his farm at an early hour this morning. There was trouble between them in regard to an account. MT. Shadden was trying to collect from the negro.
 The negro made his escape, but the sheriff and posse are in pursuit, and a Iynching is probable if the negro is caught, as the excitement is great.

got there and the officer-of- -the-day
was coming-the clink of his sword
could be heard down the road, and
more windows were uplifted and
more voices were begging for infor-
nation, and then came Mrs. Dade,
breathless but calm.
Within doors she found the doctor
ministering to a stout female who
seemed to have gone off in an impro-
vised swoon-Mrs. Blake's imported
cook. Up the stairs to her own room
again, Mrs. Blake was being led by
Marion Rays encircling arm. Three
women were speedily closeted there,
for Mrs. Dade was like an elder sis
ter to these two sworn friends, and,
not until Mrs. Dade and they were
ready, did the lady descend the stairs
and communicate the facts to the ex-
cited gathering in the parlor, and
they in turn to those on the porch
in front. By this time Flint himself,
with the post quartermaster, was on
hand, and all Fort Frayne seemed to-
rouse, and Mrs. Gregg had come with
Mrs. Wilkins, and those two had re-
lieved the doctor of the care of the
cook, now talking volubly; and, part
ly through her revelations, but main-
~ through the more coherent state
ments of Mrs. Dade, were the facts
made public. Margaret, the cook,
had room to herself on the
ground floor adjoining her kitchen.
Belle, the maid, had been given the
second floor back in order to be near
Blakes' man of ll-work-like McGann,
a discharged soldier-slept in the,
basement at the back of the house.,
and there was he found, blinking, BEL
wildered and only with dificulty|
aroused from stupor by wrathful'
sergeant. The cooks story, in brief,
was that she was awakened by Mrsi
Blake's voice at her door, and, think
ing Belle was sick, she jumped up and!
found Mrs. Blake in her wrapper, ask
ing was she, Margaret, up stairs a;
moment before. Then Mrs. Blake,
with her candle, went into the dining
room, and out jumped man in his,
stocking feet from the captains DEM
across the hall, and knocked over!
Mrs. Blake and the light, and made.
for her, the cook; whereat she.
screamed and slammed her door in:
his face, and that was really all she,
knew about it.
But Mrs. Blake knew more. Awak-
ened by some strange consciousness
of stealthy movement about the
house, she called Belle by name,
thinking possibly the girl might be-
ill and seeking medicine. There was
sound of more movement, but no re-
ply. Mrs. Blake's girlhood had been
spent on the frontier. She was
stranger to fear. She arose; struck
a light, and, seeing no one in her
room or the guest chamber and hall
way, FASTENED to the third room, and
was surprised to find Belle apparently,
quietly sleeping. Then she decided to
look about the house and, first, went
down and reused the cook AS she,
was coming out of the dining-room, al
man leaped past her in the hall, ,url-,
ing her to one side and dashing OUT

CHAPTER XVIII.

The doctor started at the heels of
the corporal, but was distanced long
before he reached the scene. The SER
geant Of the guard was hammering
on the front door of Blake's quar-
ters; but, before the summons was
answered from within, Mrs. Ray, in
long, loose wrapper, came hurrying
forth from her own-the adjoining
hallway. Her face was white with
dread. 1T is I, Mamie. Let us in,"
she cried, and the door was opened
by terrified servant, as the doctor
came painting up the steps. Together,
he and Mrs. Ray hurried in. Rob
bers!" gasped the servant girl.
"Gone-the back way!" and collapsed
on the stairs. Sergeant and corpo-
raj both tore around to the west side
and out of the rear gate. Not a sign
of fugitives could they see, and what
was worse, not a sign of sentry. Num-

ranged the letters as you would if
you had had time. They were lying
about loosely
But he got no further. Field had
started up and was leaning on one
elbow. The other arm was out
stretched. What do you mean?' he
cried. 'The desk hasn't been
opened?"
Too evidently, however, it had been,
and in an instant Field had pulled a
brass pin that held in place little
drawer. 1t popped part way out, and
with trembling hands he drew it
forth-empty.
Before he could speak Mrs. Dade
suddenly held up her hand in signal
for silence, her face paling at the in
slant. There was a rush of slippered
feet through the corridor, a hum of
excited voices, and both DR.. Waller
and the attendant darted for the
door.
Outside, in the faint starlight,
sound of commotion came from the
direction OF the guard house-of
swift footballs from far across the
parade, of the vitreous jar of win
dows hastily raised. Two or three
lights popped suddenly into view
along the dark line of officers quar-
ters, and Walters voice, with a ring
of authority unusual to him, halted

for he came from Gerald's own prem

directly opposite, was one of her re-
volvers, loaded. She found it, even in
the darkness, and, hurrying forth
again, intending to chase the intruder
and alarm the sentry at the rear, en-

who sprang past her like a panther

shots from her Smith & Wesson. One
Of these men wore a soldiers over

collar seam, was left in her hands.
Another soldiers overcoat was later
found at the rear fence, but no boots,

these men, judging from the sound,
had been in stocking feet, or possibly
lubbers, or perhaps-but that last
suspicion she kept to herself, for
Mrs. Hay, too, was now among the
arrivals in the house-full of sympa-
thy and genuine distress. The alarm,
then, had gone beyond the guard
house, and the creators thereof be-
yond the ken of the guard, for not a
sentry had seen or heard anything
suspicious until after the shots, then

II FeaU Explanations.

There were about 10000 bushels of
wheat marketed in Warren from the crop of
l9O2. In 1895 II million bushels were mar
keted. Estimators will have to use their
best Judgment as to how this years crop
compares to those years and what percent
age will be marketed between the dates
named. The wheat contest closes on mid
night Dec. 1st, but the estimates must in
clude the wheat marketed up to and in
cluding Dec. Is. On Dec. l6, the total
amount marketed will be ascertained from
the books of the mill and the various eleva-
tors by an impartial committee, and the
prizes awarded both for the estimate and
scholarship contests
Both back and in advance subscriptions
paid count in this contest, but to have the
privilege of participating, all back subscrip-
tlon and some in advance must be paid.
A person may pay as many years sub
scription in advance as he wishes, and is
entitled to estimate accordingly.

EIGHT CLUB LEAGUE
Local Baseball Association
Formed-Plans in

A movement has been inaugurated in
this city for the formation Of a State
Baseball League for the coming sea son.
The plan is yet in embryo, the chief pro-
ruoters being Messrs. c. Y. Donau and
X. B. Bradley. of this city, the lessees
of Bread S;reet Park. These gentlemen,
ercouras ed by the patronage given the
games here last summer are hopeful
that strong four. six, or eight club

tertat,1ment to patrons Of the game and
prove profitable to those furnishing the
financial backing. A local baseball as
ISOLATION has been formed, with Mr.. Do
natl as president and AIr. Bradley as vice
president, and with Mr.. J. z. Hurst as
secretary. This organization IS to be the
nucleus of the prospective league.
Among the, cities mentioned as points
for the location OF clubs in the league
are Richmond. Norfolk, Portsmouth,, New

Vile, and Petersburg. Stanton, Alexan~
dria. and Manchester. are also considered
as towns TO fall back upon, If neces,

Nothing has been done SO far, but Mr.
