BILLIGERENT NEGRO FARMER.
Jake Robinson Fought Montgomery
 PafrOImen.

Jake Robinson, a Montgomery Coun- ty negro farmer is locked up in the city prison with charges of dlsorderly conduct, resisting an officer and carry ing a concealed pistol. More over he has a badly injured head as the result of his resistance.
 Robinson was causing a disturbance on Commerce street yesterday after noon about o'clock and using profane language when Patrolman Roberts and Thurman came up and arrested him and another negro with him, Robert Taylor, for disorderly conduct. Both prisoners went along all right until the officers had almost reached the prison. Then Robinson made an energetic at- tempt to free himself.
 In the scuffle, the patrolman used his club effectively. and the injuries worry Robinson probably more than the charges dockited against him. Record der Arlington will hear the case to- morrow afternoon.

Considerable Excitement in Yards
 Western Railroad

Western Railroad.
 Considerable excitement was caused In the Western Railroad yards about | o'clock last night by a car load of cotton catching fire.
 The car was loaded with compressed cotton and was to go out to Atalnta on fast freight train, No. PIP, at $40 o'clock. It is thought that the fire was started from the flambeaux of a car inspector who. in pushing his torch under the car to see if the wheels and trucks were all right, ignited the cot ton. Fortunately this car was stand ing at a water plug and prompt work soon had the flames under control only four or five bales being damaged.
 The car was cut out of the train and the cotton was uDlnsded to make sure that no sparks were left. The train left for Atlanta without 1t.
