At $ o'clock forty men and three siN-horse teams arrived on the scene. They were led by Joe Crabtree, T. N. Gibson, George stanley, Charles Brown and Joe Baxter. Joining forces with the men already in the block house, the entire army then moved to the cabin occupied by Captain Johuston's men. Juhnston's men at first refused to vacate, but the preponder- ance of numbers of the opposing forces and the formidable appearance of the Ninches- ter. together with suggestive reaching toward the hip pockets, caused them to re- vert to suhterfuges in order to gain little delay. At this periCd 1t is stated that few sacks W hich had previously leeu soaked with coRI uji were placed on the floor and lighted, end the men in possession, although not par Jicui.rly fond of zero weather, were some what ayer-e to enduring the other extreme.

"The forces intrenched on the Three Star fraction under Captain Johnston,' says the Digger, were busted from their position last evening at about < o'clock hen troop Of irregulars under command of Gen. Joe Crabtree surprised the enemy by appearing in overw helmin- force, and after q short but decisive battle, in which swear words were the most dangerous weapons used, caused those in command oi the fort to capitulate.
 As soon as the invading forces routed Captain Johnston's army they toCk the eighteen horses from their field pieces and hauled the cabin and boiler placed on the ground by Captain Johnston to a safe posi- tion further down the trail.
 Contrary to expectations it was-trutte a bloodieSs battle, and although the leader of the besieging parry is said to have carried a Winchester rife. there was no more gore than is seen at thc ordiupry prize fight.
 At the time the frucas occurred Captain Johnston had crowd of union miners in- trenched on the ground, his entire force consisting of Jerry Dunn, Tom Derby, ]. L.

Harding ct al were in possession of the disputed territory last winter, and sank several shafts and did con siderable drifting. They were forced to sus- pend work, however, by still another claim ant, who contended that the ground in dis pute is in reality the Mikado fraction.
 Three weeks Lefore the present trouble Captain Johnston put gang of men to work and driIted from the shafts sunk by Pigeon last year to u lotnt here he made couuec- tiou with the tunnels driven by the opposing forces. He is said to have made no secret of the matter. On Wednesday evening his men moved house and boiler frem the portion of the claim worked by Captain Pigeon to the disputed territory, and they have re- mained there ever since.

What Became of Bub Hinkley?

I wonder what became of "Bub' Hinl1ley. Remember him in the old sch pol days? He simply could mt learn. He knew more schemes for getting out of work than any fellow you ever saw. He was an expert with the slingshot, bow and arrow, fists, and was the boss all-around wrestler in the school. But learning?
 One time the teacher-Old Man Bruce, you ember-gave "Bub" one of those exam pies like this: "A has piece of land. Half of As land and 30 acres is twice as much as B's and one third more than C's. How much land did each have?
 "Bub' worked and per>pired over his slate for two solid hours and then gave an awful yell and jumped right out of the window. And We never saw him again, for his folks moved away the next day. l wonder what became of Bub-legislature or peniteutiary? You never can tell.-Cinciunati Post

PUBLIC LANDS ARE SUBJECT TO ENTRY
SEVERAL HUNDRED ACRES HAVE BEEN THROWN BACK UPON THE MARKET IN THE SOUTHERN PART OF MISSISSIPPI

Jackson, Miss, October 1.-tspecial)- L. Q. c. Lamar register of the federal land office here, states that the gen eral land office at Washington has re- gently advised him that several hundred acres of public lands have been thrown back on the market, and are now sub Ject to homestead entry. The department has made a new rule as to proving claims, which requires Ii years residence on and occupancy of said homestead lands before ownership can be established These lands are all situated in the south ern part of the state, and some of the tracts are very valuable. A good deal of land has been sold during the past year. but because of the restoration of the tracts above mentioned there is about the same quantity subject to homestead now as there was one year ago-some 5o,oo0 acres in Mississippi:
 The farmer who has raised long staple cotton this year has struck it rich. the price of that variety being more than twice what is being paid for the short staple. few days since MT Calvin Stubblefeld of Yazoo county sold several bales at 24 cents, receiving 5000 for the lot.
 M. C. Brister sold nine bales at 22lz cents; T. B. Peaster 12 bales at 24 cents, and 24 bales at l9 cents.
 These sales were all made in Yazoo city which is famed as the best market for long staple cotton in the state, though several fine sales have been reported from Vicksburg.
 The Neshoba county farmers have sounded a note of warning against the creation of any more offices by the neHT. legislature. especially that of commis- sioner of immigration, which has been demanded in several quarters recently, and, in fact, for the past several years. They do not want Mississippi made the dumping ground for the worthless scum of foreign nations" The Neshoba forks also complain at having to make cotton in competition with the state convicts, and demand that the eonvicts be worked on the public roads instead of at raising cotton and corn. There is not much dan ger that the state will change it's very excellent system of caring for the con victs. They are where they will make money for the public now and the farm CTS get just as much benefit from the re- suits of their labor as do any other class of citizens. The convicts of Mississippi are humanely treated and well cared for they are more than self-supporting and no change in the system will be made.

Caught in Harvesting Machine.

Bloomsbury, July 22.-Caught in
ii harvesting machine and literally
punctured with the prongs of the
guard, which penetrated his body to
depth Of three inches, George Pur-
sci, tenant on the farm of George
Krase at Kaseville, was dragged
under his harvester distance of so
yards by his runaway team but es-
capped alive.
It was at 5:45 o'clock Saturday
afternoon as Pursel left his harvester
to shock some wheat when partic-
ularly heavy clap of thunder fright
ened his team, the horses starting at
a mad pace across the field with the
harvester.
Pursel ran in perpendicular line
to that in which the horses were run
ming to stop them. The reel on the
harvester struck him as he was
thrown underneath the machine.
He was caught on the harvester
guard and the sharp prong- three
ineher in length, pierced his body
to their full length. He was drag
ged for distance of 80 yards under
the machine until the horses were
stopped for moment by wire
fence that barred further progress in
that direction.
Pursel during that moment man
aged to get out from under the harv-
ester and then fell over unconscious.
Peter Yorks and Charles Bloch, who
were working nearby ran to his as
sistance and carried him into the
house. DIR. Paules of Danville was
summoned and treated his injuries
Because of their nature he was un-
able to make thorough exami-
nation Saturday, but yesterday he
made a full examination and found
the man had miraculously escaped
any broken bones, neither was he
injured internally. OF course his
entire body is bruised and lacerated.
There are no less than ten wounds
in his hips and legs alone.
