Will Mcdaniel, negro who is al

and lodged in Jail.
The killing of Holmes occurred
about one year ago on s. G. Riley's

been at large since that time.
After Mcdaniel was brought here
, it was discovered that he had never
been indicted by grand jury, SO ne

fore Esq. Freeze here yesterday, and,
strange as it may seem, was released
on bond of $3.50, although it is SAID
strong case was made out against
him. The action of the court in Tx
ing the bond atsuch low sum caused
considerable comment. l
Harbin is entitled to 800, the stat
utory reward, for capturing Mechanic

dered paid to him at the next circus

Railroad has the following to say of
the train service of that branch of the
Y. & M. W.:
Railroad wrecks have been both fre-
quent and deadly of late on other
roads, but on the Yellow Dog the little
dinky cars cling to the two streaks of
rust called the track as if itwere mag
netized and there is no chance of a
collision unless terrapin should run
into the rear end of one of the trains
The cars are fastened together with
twine and garters, pieces of shirts,
and overalls, etc., torn from the cloth
ing of the trainmen.
The two non-mail carrying trains
(called s.fast trainsn because people
nearly starve to death between sta
tions) still come so near to making
connections with the Southern at
Morehead that you can see the smoke
of the Southern trains leave the sta
ton.
The lamps on the passenger trains
are about as bright as tightening bugs

REsSTs ARREST AND IS SHOT
Negro Horse Theif Makes Dash for Lib
erty and Stops Bullet.


While attempting to make his es-
cape from house, in which he had
taken refuge from the officers, Robert
Holmes, a negro thought to be guilty
of stealing mule from Mr.. John 7.
Malone, was shot in the back last
Monday evening, tfree miles west of
Horn Lake.
Holmes was wanted on a charge of
horse-stealing, and when Deputy Sid
Campbell attempted to arrest him,
the negro, who was armed with a
shotgun, raised it to fire on the Off
ger. Before he could bring his gun
into play Campbell fired, striking him
in the hand. Holmes then ran, but
paused long enough in his fight to
fire his gun, and few shot from his
weapon struck negro, Pomp Turner,
who was assisting Campbell.
Holmes ran to a nearby cabin and,
after securing another gun, concealed
himself in the loft of the cabin.
Campbell went foI more assistance,
leaving Turner and another negro to
guard the house. Deputies Weissing-
er and Shelton answered Campbell's
call for help, but when they reached
Horn Lake they found that Holmes
had been shot while attempting to
escape. After Campbell had left,
Holmes came down from his hiding
place and offered the negroes who
were guarding him $40 each to let him
escape. When this offer was refused,
he announced that he was going any
way and started. Turner fired with
the result above stated.
The prisoner was brought here on q
cot and put in jail An examination
of the wound showed that the bullet
had entered near the end and little
to the right of the backbone. The
4 patient was in such a weakened con.
dition that no operation could be per,
formed, and the bullet yet remains II
his anatomy. In site Of the serious
wound the negro refused to die, ant
his condition is steadily improving.
Holmes has record. He claims
that ''riding off" mules and horses il
the highest crime he has been guilty
of, yet when he was arrested in Mem
phis last year-after emptying hi
pistol at an officer-on charge o
stealing horse at Holly Springs, Ar
kansas authorities preferred charge
of grand larceny against him and ht
was convicted and sent to the peniten
tiary from which he has twice escap
ed. A letter from the superintendent
of the Arkansas penitentiary, receiv
ed by Sheriff Withers yesterday, stat
ed that reward Of $50 would be pait
for Holmes return to Little Rock.

Hop Growers Blue over Prospects.

The Washington hop crop this sea-
son will amount to $4,000 bales, &C
cording to we'll informed hop men.
Of this $4,000 bales $4,000 will be
raised in the Puget sound region, prin-
cipally in King, Pierce and Lewis
counties, and other $4,000 bales in
the Yakima valley, states Tacoma re-
port
The hop industry is tilted at de-
cidedly blue angle for the growers of.
the state, and for that matter for
growers the world over. While the
acreage is large with big crops, prices
are so low that growers of the north
west are wondering if they are going
to break even.
Keen observers say the condition is
caused by an reproduction of hops
This seasons crop in the United
States will amount to $4,000 bales
100000 to 100000 bales, leaving an
enormous surplus of nearly 100000
bales for shipment to foreign coun-
tries. England comes to the rescue
every season by taking from $4,000
to 10000 bales, and this season, &C
cording to Isaac Pincus of Tacoma, a
hop expert" will take 10000 bales.
But against this large export Ger
man hops to the amount of about
10000 bales will be imported. These
conditions have pulled the price of
hops in the northwest down and down
until last seasons hops are now mark
ed at but from 2 to 6 cents a pound.
There are still $4,000 pounds of last
years hops on the coast, and II sales
