NEWS Of PENSACOLA
INSANE NEGRO BARRICADEs HIM.
 SELF IN HIS HOME.

 Taken by Police Ofiicers.

Pensacola. Fla. Aug. 17-(Special.! that the famous "Raiiioaa Bill' was at his door and that the olack train rob6er and desperado was trying to get to him, Ed Smith, negro TOT two days and until early last night barrfcaded himself in the house ne rented on East Wright Street and kept the neighborhood in ferment or ex- cttement. Smith was armed with an old army musket. and every few mo- ments would i'll the weapon with slugs and shot and let go at the door
 Police Captain Fondebilla ana Mounted oficer Reed ventured into the house as soon as they had become ap- prized of the negro's actions, and when they gained access to the house they realised what danger they had exposed themselves to. The negro, who Is de- mented. was found lying across bed with his musket cooked and ready for business. It was loaded with about pound of slugs and had 1t been trained on either of the officers. there would have been a murder done.
 Why the negro did not shoot when he heard the officers at the front door is mystery. Previous to that time he had been firing at the front door, and when the policemen arrived they found dH cHtITe pdnel OI tHc uoOT toih o o"dS by the shot. The negro was wide awake when the officers reached the house. but refused to respond to calls to open the door. Later when taken in charge he said he wished he had shot and killed the two, as he had al- ready murdered two men the day be- fore. and 1t was just as easy to Kill two more.
 Smith was placed in the patrol wagon and under guard was conveyed to the police station The weapon was also carried to the station and held as evil dence against the black who will be sent to the insane asylum. Smith claimed that the redoubtable Railroad Bill" had been lowering about his home for the past several days. and that the desperate was trying to murder him. Incoherent and utterly impossible claims were made by the crazy black man, and 1t was considered the only safe thing to keep him in solitary con- finement until the asylum authorities could reach here.

clded in a recent opinion that the
Act imposing a tax on dogs cannot
be enforced his year. lie says:
Answering your inquiry whether
az act to impose the legislative
tax upon all dogs, approved Fe5.
ruary 25, 1904, authorized the
levy of such tax during the fiscal
yea" 1904, / beg to say that 1t
does not, for the reason that the
act was not approved until Febru-
airy 25, and did not take effect un-
til March 16, at which time the
period within which property
must be returned had expired.
Section 2 of the net required
that the dogs shall be returned for
taxa tion in the same manner and
aI tue same time that the other
property is returned for taxtior,
and lnasmuch as this sine for the
year 1904 expired on February
20, prior to the approval of the
act, it can not be construed as
authorizing the levy of such tax
prior to the year 1905.
