GREAT FIGHT
THREE NEGROES AND POSSE
IN BATTLE
Constable Paul Gregory Badly
Carved up by Negro Hoboes
at LaSalle-All Under
Arrest

'>ooAy' Soi'NeoiS oI A<u-
Sale, is lying dangerously i'll at his
home, from number of cuts re-
ceived in hand to hand encounter
with three negroes last Wednesday
afternoon. The negroes giving
their names as F. Collins of Kansas
City; William Marshall of Mar
shall, Mo. (; William White of At
lanta, Ga. were afterward rounded
up by a posse of farmers under
Lyulph Ogilvy and are now in the
county Jail awaiting trial on a
charge of assault with intent to
murder.
The three negroes were hanging
about the railroad yards at LaSalle
last Wednesday in a more or less in
toxicated condition. 1t is claimed
that at the time Gregory appeared
at the yards the negroes were lying
down and sleeping. Their rude
awakening made them ugly and as
Gregory was following along behind
them to hurry them out of town. the
three suddenly attacked him. Greg
ory, weak from his recent illness
with typhoid fever, was no match
physically for the three, and al
though he carried his revolver in
his hand, he was disarmed before he
had chance to raise it.
Gregory was terribly cut with a
jackknife in the hands of the
negroes. One cash in his hip is
nearly twelve inches long and cut
clean to the bone. There are several
minoEcuts in this part of his body.
Two slashes on his throat narrowly
missed severing the jugular vein.
He was carried to his home nearby
where DR.. Horton of Evans and DR..
Ward of Peckham were called to
dress the wounds.
After the cutting the negroes took

Charles Youker, station agent at La
Sale, telephoned the sheriff's office,
and in less than half an hour Ben
Florance and Dave Camp were at
LaSalle, having secured the best rig
they could find with which to make
the run. When they reached the
scene the farmers under Captain
Ogilvy had the negroes rounded up
in a field about two miles south of
LaSalle. Here in big patch of
sweet clover regular battle took
place between the posse and the
negroes. The latter still had Greg
ory's revolver and also other arms.
They finally surrendered.
The feeling against the negroes
was so bitter there at the time that
there was a little fear that the crowd
might wreck summary vengeance
upon them. But as the sheriff and
officers took the men away the ex-
citement gradually quieted down.
The three negroes will have their
hearing before Justice Willard on
Oct. ;.

. VERY UNIQUE FEUD
Potato Patch Furnishes Casus
Belli in Florida.

Speaking about feuds,' said
John L. Humphries of Tampa, Fla,
as he sat in front of the Adams
hotel yesterday afternoon, Il think
that the strangest one, in it's incep-
tion at least, is one between two
families in Marion county, in Our
state.
1T came about in this way CON-
tinued Mr.. Humphries. You
know in our state sometimes land
disappears during the night, and a
man wakes up to find his garden a
great sink hole. This is, of course,
due to the fact that Florida is built
ON coral and not very substantially
built at that. especially in some Of
the interior counties. Harry Red
ding had a nice patch of Irish pota-
toes and Oliver Vance, his neighbor,
had what he called farm. and near
the house was sink hole.
''One night Redding's potato
patch disappeared and the next
morning he had nice large sink
hole filled with water where the
garden was. The same night Vance,
who had sink hole when he went
to bed, woke up to find that the hole
was filled with dirt, in which there
seemed to be lot of pebbles about
the size OF mans fist. Naturally
he was surprised. He examined the
pebbles to find them potatoes, and
after calling the family up they got
to work and gathered in six bushels
of potatoes ready for market.
That's where the trouble began.
Redding claimed that under the law
where mans stock wanders on to
the premises of another without his
fault, that he can go after it. He
argued that the same doctrine ap-
piled to potatoes which had wander
ing habits. For he was very sure
that the potatoes on the Vance farm
belonged to him. Vance and his
friends invoked another principle Of
law that man owns his land from
heaven to hadeS, and he refused to
dig up the potatoes for the benefit
of his neighbor.
''All that happened 10 years ago.
continued Mr.. Humphries, and
the Readings and the Vances are
still armed against each other. Two
or three skirmishes have taken place
between the parties and one of the
Vance boys, Is years old, was
wounded by fire from the enemy.
They have never spoken to each
other since that eventful night ten
years ago. Lawyers and politicians
have gone out to help them settle
their difficulties, but they are obdu-
rate, and If the feud grows for 20
years as it has already, Florida and
Marion county will have feud
equal to the best that Kentucky has
ever produced. Denver. Republic
can.

PUTTING IT STRONG.
But Doesn't 1t Look Reasonable.

This may read as though we We're
putting it Il little strong, because il is
generally thought by the majority Of
people that Dyspepsia in its chronic
form is incurable or practically so.
But we have long since shown that
Dyspepsia is durable, nor is it such a
difficult matter as it first appears.
The trouble with Dyspeptics is that
they are continually dieting, starving
themselves or going to the opposite
extreme or else deluging the already
over burdened stomach with "bitters"
"after dinner pills" etc, which in
yariably INCREASE the difficulty even II
in some cases they do give a slight
temporary relief. Such treatment Of
the stomach simply makes matters
worse What the stomach wants is q
rest. Now how can the stomach be-
come rested, recuperated and at the
same time the body nourished and
sustained?
This is a great secret and this is also
the secret of the uniform success of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. This is Il
comparatively new remedy bit 5
success and popularity leave no doubt
as to its merit.
The tablets will digest the food any
way, regardless of condition of stom-
ach. The sufferer from Dyspepsia, ac-
cordng to directions, is to eat an
abundance Oh SOOU, WnOl0SOH1e IOoi
and use the tablets before and after
each meat and the result will be that
the food will be digested no matter
how bad your Dyspepsia may be, be-
cause as before stated the tablets
will digest the food even if the stom-
ach is wholly inactive. To illustrate
cur meaning plainly, il you take $500
grains of meat. eggs or ordinary food
and place il in a temperature of 9S
degrees and put with it one of Stuar's
Dyspepsia Tablets it will digest the
meat or eggs almost as perfectly as if
the meat was enclosed within the
stomach.
The stomach may be ever so weak
yet these tablets. will perform the
work of digestion and the body and
brain will be properly nourished and
at the same time radical, lasting
cure of Dyspepsia will be made be-
cause the much abused stomach Will
be given, TO some extent, much
needed rest. Your druggist Will tell
you that of all the many remedies ed
vertised to cure Dyspepsia none OF
them have given so complete and gem
eral satisfaction as Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets. and not least in importance in
these hard times is the fact that they
are also the cheapest and give the
most good for the least money.

Good Attrac ction.

ga beautiful story beautifully told"
such can be said of "The Holy City"
that was seen at the Union opera house
Wednesday, on it's second season. AS
the name implies the production is
founded on the Bible narrative and
hence was one that everyone under
stood and with which all were familiar.
The story is very similar to that of
"Ben Hur," but the time is very diff.
ferent. The customs and scenery were
historically correct and when one be-
held the various scenes, it seemed as
though time had been eliminated and
one were living at Jerusalem, intent as
any of the rabble, waiting for the
development of the prophecy of John
the Baptist. AS for the acting, suffice
it to say that it greatly exceeded ex-
pectations. AS the plot developed,
one forgot that the actors were men
and women of this age, as it seemed as
if one were looking 1900 years into the
past. OF course, Clarence Bennett as
John the Baptist and Judas, was great;
a greatness made by the perfect SIM
plicity and harmony with which he
took his parts. The acting of Maud
Selden as Elizabeth was excellent and
she from the first to the last won the
hearts of all the audience The re-
mainder ofthe company was equally
strong and should the play ever again
come to this city, it will not lack

second number in the Star Course SER
les, Friday evening, December 1st is
pronounced the most satisfactory and
pleasing singing party on the lyceum

College, Bethany, West Virginia,
writes the Brockway Bureau under date
of Oct. 25 as follows:

ceeded our expectations. Every one
is happy because our course started off

Possibly Fatally Injured.

Frank McManigal, who resides on

ed as fireman on P & E. r. r., met with
an accident that will possibly prove
fatal. On Monday evening, about six
O'Clock, while coming west on train 80,
he leaned out ofcab and was struck by
some projection, some think a door
of a car and others say a board from
extra train 736 going east, as the two
trains were passing each other, about
one mile west of Keating He was
thrown from his engine and found
some distance back lying between the
tracks, with his feet on the east bound
track. Train SO was coming and he
was found just in time. He was in an
unconscious condition and severely in
jured about head. East bound train
was stopped and the injured man
taken to Emergency Hospital at Re
novo but same night taken to vii.
Transport Hospital.
His wife and sister Mrs Geo. Hur-

days Flyer and found the injured man
in a serious condition and still uncon-
scious. There seems to be small hope
for his recovery.
