It's eleven years last Monday since
we opened dry goods in Bellefontaine.
1t was opened in a small way in a
single room but has gradually grown
every year. We hope TO still make a
further increase this year and present
to the people OF Logan county the
most complete and best selected stock
OF Dry Goods that has ever been our
privilege to show. The additional ex-
ira room which we added January l
gives us abundant floor space and
counter room to show goods. 1t en-
ables the trade to have more comfort
and better light. IL enables US to
show our stocks to better advantage
and we promise you the best attention
that is in our power to give you. We
want the public to feel that this is a
public store and you are always well
come at all times, especially il you
have friends visiting you would like
to have you bring them in and show
them around. You will not be asked
or importuned to buy and we hope that
the people will always feel free to go
through this store and examine goods
at any time. We thank the people OF
Logan county for their liberal patron
age for the last IL years and hope to
be still favored with a continuance oI
same. III. NJ. ANNAT.

he announcement of the selection of
Cardinal Sarto. Patriarch of Venice. to
succeed the late Pope Leo XIII was
received in the city yesterday and
among Catholics there were expressions
of great satisfaction.
The official announcement will
likely be made at the morn

for the Pope, which have been omitted
by direction of the bishop since the
demise of Leo XIII will be resumed.
No other ceremony will mark the ad-
vent of the new head of the church in
solar as the churches generally are
concerned. There will be no echo Of
the coronation ceremonies here. Cardi-
nal Sarto. who now becomes Pope Plus
Y, was little known in this country
and seems to have been only thought
of rs a possibility and not a probability
by the public.

BURGLAR SUSPECT FOUGHT
AND WAS SHOT

Resisted

In an effort to escape arrest shortly
after 9 O'Clock last night Dan Young,
a negro who claims Augusta as his
home, was shot at Montgomery and
Duffy streets by Patrolman Christie,
in plain clothes, and was dangerously
wounded.
Only one shot was fired by the Of
ficer and the bullet passed through
Young's right side. The ball entered
from behind and passed entirely
through the body Young suffered a
great deal of pain and but little in
formation could be gotten from him.
He was taken to the police station
house in the patrol wagon, accom-
panied by the officer who fired the
shot.
The wound was dressed at the sta
ton house by Police Surgeon Osborne
after which the prisoner was sent to
the Georgia Infrmary in the police
ambulance. His condition was encour-
aging at an early hour this morning,
although it will be a day or two be-
fore the extent of his wound can be
positively determined.
1t was reported to Christie that a
suspicious character had been in the

the plain clothes man walked around

Duffy and Montgomery streets he
found the same negro lurking at the
northwest corner.
The patrOlman says that he started
for Young. intending to make him a
prisoner, when the negro threw two
or three bricks at him. Christie pulled
his revolver and as the negro turned
fired one shot. The suspect did not
stop at once and the patrolman re-
ported at headquarters that he had
to run the wounded man down. None
of the officers who saw the suspect
before he was taken to the infirmary
recognized him, and a further inves-
tigation will be made by the detec-
tives.

Newman Black. a young white man,
charged with assault upon Hiss Lizzie
Wood of Screven county, at Augusta
night before last, was brought to Sa-
vannah and placed in the Chatham
county Jail yesterday afternoon for
safe keeping.
The offense with which Black ts
charged is of the most serious nature,
and as soon as he was arrested he
was hurried out of Augusta for safe
tvs sake. Deputy Sheriff George Britt
was in charge of the prisoner when
he reached Savannah.
An Augusta special to the Morning
News relates the following story of
the crime:
The story from Augusta.
BLACK resides in the mill district
of Augusta, and night before last he
made an engagement to accompany
Miss Lizzie Wood, who was visiting
friends in Augusta, on Moore avenue,
to the show out at Monte Sano pavil-
ion. Black proposed that they walk
home from the Schuetzen Platz, where
the pavilion is located, and during
the journey he enticed the young lady
to the roadside where he made i'm
proper proposals to her, and upon her
sphrning them he used force to ac-
compish his purpose. Her clothes
were torn almost entirely from her
person. and she was badly bruised.
An old negro living near by heard the
screams of the young woman and start
ed to her assistance, but was fright
ened away by shots from pistol in
Blacks hands Later Marshal Spauld-
ing of Summerville heard the girls
cries for help and went to her aid.
He found her in a pitiable condition,
and at once carried her home. Black
was arrested later in the night and
placed in Jail. AS soon as the news
of the crime spread excitement was at
fever heat, and after consultation
Judge Eve ordered the prisoner sent
to Savannah for safe keeping, as there
were open threats of violence.
Blacks story.
In MS statement maze 10 deputy
Britt Black declared that he was
entirely innocent of criminal assault,
and that the young woman was as
much to blame for the condition in
which they were found as he was.
Black said that he had known the
young woman for some time. On the
night he was arrested he accompanied
Miss Wood to the show at the Casino,
and that they took a number of drinks
together. He said that on the way
back home she agreed to stop beside
the road, in a secluded spot and rest.
He said that some one in passing
discovered them. and that the young
woman then stated that he had as
saulted her.
Black is an intelligent looking, we'll
made young man of perhaps 80 years
of age. He is as straight as an In
! dian, and rather good looking. He
/ will be kept in the Jail here until the
excitement in Augusta abates, when
he will be taken there for trial.
