IL BEATEN AND THEN ROB-
BED OF HIS MONEY.

DR.. j. D. Hodge, a veterinary sur
geon of this city, had a thrilling eX-
perience with Dallas thugs Friday
morning that came near costing him
his life. He was set upon by three
highwaymen who beat him into in
sensibility and then robbed him of
his money, the amount taken being
about $35. DR.. Hodge returned from
Dallas Friday night The Times Her
aid of that date gives the following
account of the assault and robbery
j. d. Hodge, who gave his home
at Waxahachie, was picked up in an
almost semi-conscious condition on
Commerce street at an early hour
this morning. He was found by an
employe of the street cleaning de-
partment and escorted to the Office
of DR.. E. S. Gordon, where his in
juries were given medical attention.
When sufficiently recovered to tell
how he happened to be in the condi-
ton in which he had been found.
Mr. Hodge stated that he had been
set upon by three white men and af-
ter they had beat him into uncon-
sciousness they had robbed him of
about thirty-five dollars.
AS a result OF statements made by
/ Hodge, Night Captain Harrison and
Sergeant Eimicke placed three young
! white men under arrest and when
! they were carried before Mr. Hodge
he identified one of them as the
party who had first nit him and said
| the other two looked like the men
that We're with him. All of the par
! ties under arrest stoutly maintain
I their innocence and declare they
know nothing at all about the af-
fair

ent of the Associated Press last night
boarded the Cunard line steamer
Campania and found Charles w.
Morse of New York in the smoking
room enjoying a game of cards.
Without moments hesitation
Mr.. Morse granted an interview to
the correspondent. He was shown
extracts from metropolitan papers,
referring to him as fled from his
creditors" etc. Mr.. Morse said there
was absolutely nothing in these re-
ports, saying they were New York
sensationalisms. He added that he
had sent cable dispatches to New
York concerning his position and
that he would rectify matters when
he returned there. He was travelling
partly on business and partly on
pleasure for a week or ten days.
Asked where he proposed going
after he landed at Liverpool Mr.
Morse begged to be excused from re-

Adams, Tenn, Feb. S.-Night ri
ders, between thirty-five and fifty
strong, well armed and mounted,
visited the farms of Hugh G.. Law
renee and Wash Tucker, wit hin
three miles of this place, Thursday
night and destroyed barns on both
farms, together with 0,000 pounds
of tobacco, shot and wounded Law
renee and his son Bradley, and
whipped negro named Mottlow in
a rather unmerciful ma lner.
The riders first visited the farm
of Lawrence. He and his son were
in the barn loading tobacco onto
wagons and raatd the Iieht riders
coming from al, dretti, MS. They
came out of the barn and started to-
ward the house and when within
fifteen or twenty yards of the house
they met ten or a dozen riders and
at once opened fire on them The
riders returned the fire, wounding
Lawrence in the cheek and in the
hand and his son in the leg. None
of the wounds however, are serious
Lawrence thinks he wounded one oi

ANNIVERSARY OF GREAT SNOW
Chance for the Old Timers to In

Richmond, Va, Feb. S.-Old men
who lived in Richmond before the
war are recalling that today is the
anniversary of the most terrible
snow storm in the history of the Old
Dominion The storm began On the
night of February 8. 1857, and con-
tinued for nearly three days. 1t was
given the name OF Cox's snow, ow-
ing to the fact that DR.. Joseph Cox,
of Chesterfield county, one of the
most prominent physicians of the
state at that time, was lost in the
blizzard and found frozen to death,
together with a companion.
The snow was very deep, even
where it was level and had not drift

George Ade Is Forty-Two.

Lafayette, Ind, Feb. S.-Tomor-
row will be the anniversary of an
important event in Indiana literary
circles-no less than the birthday
of George AIDE, the towering genius
who supplies the spice with which to
leaven the literary output of the Hoo
sier state. Although Ade has attain
ed to international fame, it is un-
likely that his merits are so highly
appreciated anywhere as in his ma
tive state in general and in Lafayette
in particular. Ii was at Purdue Uni
versity in Lafayette that the humor-
ist secured the foundation for his
education, and his first newspaper
work was performed there.

found on the battlefield yesterday
morning.
The raiders retreated at the Law
rences' first fire, but rallied with
some ten or fifteen reinforcements
and renewed the attack with great
ferocity, firing seventy or eighty
shots through the windows of their
house, where Lawrence and his son
had retreated. The Lawrences re-
turned the fire, but no casualties oc-
Cured Mrs. Lawrence, who was in
the house, narrowly escaped being
struck by the flying bullets.
The night riders then went to the
barn and, after shooting a horse,
placed dynamite under two wagons
loaded with tobacco and blew them
to pieces The barn was burned, to-
gether with about 12, 600 pounds of
tobacco.
The riders then went to the farm
of Wash Tucker, where they burned
his barn and about 5000 pounds OF
tobacco without molestation.
Lawrence and Tucker both belong
to the Hill Billie" class, having
never joined the association. They
report that the riders came from all
directions but could not tell whether
they were masked or not. Much eX-
