The Little Animal or Something
Like it Cut Threats of Alderman
DixOn's Hens.

There is a mink at large in Savan-
nah and fowl houses had better be care
fully guarded until the animal is cap
tured or killed, So far as is known the
mink got in its first work early yes
terday morning when it cut the threats
of two fine hens, in the yard of Chair
man of Council James NJ. Dixon at Hall
and Abercorn streets.
Mr.. Dixon made the discovery after
breakfast The mink had cut the
threats of two of the largest and finest
hens in the fowl house and had sucked
them dry. The fact that the work was
done by mink was made clear by the
manner in which the Threats of the
chickens were cut The alderman ad-
vised his friends who are poultry
fanciers to be prepared for a visit
from the mink, and to set traps for the
chicken destroyer. Mr.. Dixon himself
arranged matters last night so that if
the mink shows up during the early
hours it will meet with a warm recep-
ton.

been published, the negro Shut Eye,
who was suspected of the murder of
Joe Fraser in Yamacraw Saturday
night, is still a prisoner at the police
station house. He was not released
from custody yesterday, as vas re-

The man, however, will probably be
given his liberty this morning, unless
there are some unexpected develop

uniformed men are still endeavoring to
unravel the mystery that surrounds the
West Side tragedy. A second suspect
was arrested yesterday morning, and is
held prisoner at the station house.
The officers, however. are continuing
in their efforts to locate the negro who
used the fork with fatal results. A
third suspect was under arrest for a
short while last night and other arrests
will probably be made this morning.

ton, in the City Court.
A sealed verdict will be returned this
morning in the case of Henry Evans

quently, in a wind storm, broke from
its moorings and collided with a sloop
belonging to him.
The defendant submits that if there
was any damage done he should not be

act of God; the defendant holding that
other craft which had been made fast
weathered the storm without breaking
from their mornings. The plaintiff is
represented by G. w. Owens and the
defendant by w. B. Stubs.

Big Irrigation Works.

Washington, March 3.-Secretary
Hitchcock, of the interior department,
has granted authority for the acquisi-
tion of necessary property rights of
way, etc, prior to construction of irri-
cation works in five localities. The
projects are Wyoming, Sweet Water
Dam; Montana, Milk River; Colorado,
Gunnison Tunnel; Nevada, Truckee;
Arizona, Salt River reserve. These
projects are estimated to cost $1,000
000, and will provide for the irrigation
of about 10000 acres of arid land In
addition thereto Gray Bull reservoir is
to be taken up Immediately. Construc-
tion remains subject to feasibility of
obtaining the necessary rights and ad-
justment of rival claims in such a
manner as to comply with the act ap-
proved June II, 1902.

Situation at New Orleans.

New Orleans, March 13.-There was
a decrease in the rise of the river here
DUNG the past twenty-four hours, the
official guage today reading 1873 feet,
a rise of one-tenth. The river is now
seventeenth of foot below the record
of 1897. The seriousness of the situa-
ton is increased, however, by the con-
tinuance of rainy weather, which is
softening the levees along the Louis
lana line
The absence OF news up to this time
indicates that the Arlington levee has
not given way. President Leake, of
the Ponchatrain levee board, said to-
DAY that 10000 sacks of material and
men have been hurried to the scene
The Arlington is the old levee and ac-
knowledged to be unsafe. Contracts
were let some months ago for a new
levee behind il, but owing to the long
season of rainy weather the second
levee has not been completed. Work
is being done upon 1t with great vigor
and in the mantime Governor Heard
the levee board and planters are doing
all in their power to maintain the old
embankment. A break at Arlington
would food valuable sugar lands and
interfere with traffic over the rail.

Extraordinary Session.

Washington, March 13.-lt can be
stated by authority that President
Roosevelt has not definitely made up
his mind to call an extraordinary ses-
sion of the Fifty-eightn congress. How
ever, he is considering the practica-
bility of doing so. When he was in
formed that it was the intention of the
senate so as to amend the Cuban reci-
procity treaty as to render action upon
it by the house of representatives nee
essary to make it effective, he inform
ed some members of the senate that he
would hold himself free to call an eX-
traordinary session of congress in or
der to secure action on it, No definite
time was mentioned by the president
for the meeting of the extraordinary
session. The president is much in
earnest in his desire to have the Cuban
treaty ratified and make it effective.
1t can be said that so strong is this
desire that he even has considered the
advisability of calling congress into
extraordinary session this spring, If
the senate should permit the Cuban
treaty to fail through lack of a quo
rum. That. however, is contingency
which he considers improbable.

THE MISSISSIPPI.
The Situation at Memphis, TsnaY and
New Orleans, La.
THE ARLINGTON lEVEE.

Memphis, March 13.-The river rose
fiye-tenths of foot in the past twenty
four hours, the guage today marking
36.1 feet. All indications still point to
the stage of 3S feet by Sunday or Mon
Gay. Report from Caruthersville, Mo,
this morning says work on the new
levee is progressing night and day.
The immediate country around town
Is covered with from three to five feet
Of water.
Advices from Mississippi state that
the people of Cohoma county are
alarmed over the situation. Engineers
however, say the levees were never so
strong and claim there is no danger
Of a break.
Sepe and backwater is growing deep
er behind the levees. Business in the
country is practically at standstill.

WANT PROTECTION.
Transfer Companies Restrain Strikers
from interference.

Kansas City, March 13.-At least
eight additional transfer companies
will ask the federal court here for an
order restraining striking employees
from interfeing in the transaction of
business. The petitions, which have
already been drawn up, make the con
tention that interference with wagons
on the way to the depots and ship
ping yards is in violation of the in
terstate commerce laws. The plain
tffs will argue that goods are in tran
sit, in the meaning of the law, from the
moment they are loaded onto wagons,
when a receipt is given by the trans
fer company.
The injunction granted last night
to the Kansas City Transfer company
was respected by the strikers today
r. A. Coleman. vice president of the
Transfer Drivers international Union
of America, who is in charge of the
strike, expressed satisfaction with the
situation.

river and hundreds of them are being
sent on special trains to the scene of

Moreen Jurrens Has His Case Post.
poned for Two Weeks.


Moreen w. Jurrens, the federal pris-
oner held here charged with two Of
fenses, using the mails to defgaud and
forgery, was brought from his cell in
the county Jail this morning for hear
ing before United States Commissioner
II. r. Whiting. The prisoner refused
to plead guilty and through his attor-
ney, Heacock, demanded trial before
being taken 10 Colorado, and the
scenes of his crimes. United States
Attorney w. b. Childers represented
the prosecution. He stated that the
prisoner was entitled to trial If de-
manded, and the case was postponed
two weeks, which would give the pros
ecution time to bring witnesses here
from Kansas and Colorado. The attor-
ney for the defense, considering that
the trial was postponed two weeks,
asked the court to reduce the appear
ance bond from $1,000 to $500. The
court refused to reduce the bond, as
the crimes for which the prisoner is
held are of grave Importance.
Jurrens was returned to the county
jail in company with a Chinaman, des-
tined for deportation to his native land
for being in the United States without

The House.


Wednesdays Afternoon SESSION.
House bill No. 162, an act creating
Leonard Wood county. was called up.
Mr. Romero moved to table the bill but
his motion was tabled. The bill was
then read in full. Mr.. Eduardo Martin
ez opposed the bill at length and said
the people Of Guadalupe county do not
want the county wiped out Of exist
ence. He closed his plea that Guada-
lupe county should be allowed to exist,
by again moving that the bill be ta-
bled. This was lost and he moved to
refer it to a special committee Of five,
This was lost and the bill was then
passed. >
On the roll call on the passage Of the
bill occurred the most exciting scene
of the session thus far. The half min
ute rule had not been strictly enforced
in explanation of votes and the speak
er was proceeding on the theory that
unless member demanded enforce
ment of the rule, it was to be taken
that unanimous consent was given the
member TO continue his remarks. Mr..
Martin Sanchez rose TO explain his
vote and after he had spoken about
two minutes Mr. Otego rose and de-
manded the enforcement OF the half
minute rule. Mr.. Sanchez resented this
in very strong language. Sergeant at
Arms Crollott started toward him and
Mr.. Sanchez seized one of the large
glass ink stands on his desk and drew
back his arm as though to hurl IL at
Mr.. Ortega. NJ Ortega threw up his
arm in front of his face, but before Mr.
Sanchez could throw ii the sergeant at
arms had reached him and seized his
arm. Speaker Montoya pounded with
his gavel with such vlgor and regular
itv that that instrument was broken.
He ordered Mr. Sanchez to Sit down,
but Mr.. Sanchez was so angry he paid
40 attention to the orders of the speak
er and as the sergeant at arms held
him, shouted to the speaker that his
rights end liberties as a member were
being curtailed and he had as much
right to speak as any other member.
He refused to sit down and after re-
peated orders to that effect from the
speaker. to all of which he replied ne
would not do so, Speaker Montoya or
dered the sergeant at arms to forcibly
seat him. He was pushed down in his
chair but again leaped TO his feet to
demand that he be given the right to
5c heard. The speaker again ordered
him 10 sit down and on his refusal
the speaker ordered the sergeant at
arms TO bring him before the bar OF
he house for such action as might be
decided upon Mr.. Sanchez for the first
