HAVE GIVEN
UP THE SEARCH
Officers Cannot Get Clue to
Man Who Assaulted the
Two Ladies.

Deputy sheriffs, as well as all other
officers, have about given up hope of
obtaining a clue to the identity of the
man who assaulted Mrs. Archie Briggs
and her sister, Miss Herrin, Tuesday
night at Magnolia Bluff.
Yesterday morning the search was
renewed By the deputies and the
hounds took a trail, which Ley fol-
lowed to Bayou Texar- There it is
supposed the party entered the water
in order TO throw the dogs off the
track, which he succeeded il doing
1t is the belief that the party did not
swim directly across the bayou, but
probably f1oated down stream to
some point where he could safely
emerge. In the hope of picking up the
trail on the opposite shore the officers
crossed the boyaU and followed it for
some distance, but without success.
The family of the young ladies, as
well as they themselves, state that
during the past week a mulatto ne
gro has been seen in the neighborhood
upon several occasions, and only few
days ago the negro stopped Miss Her
rim to ask her the direction of house
Suspicion points to this man, though
there is no evidence to show that he
was the party, inaSmuCh as neither
of the young ladies caught a glimpse
of him,

VESSEL CAUGHT
IN WHIRLW|ND
Smack Favorite lowed Into
Port Yesterday Badly
Damaged.

Caught in a whirlwind which carried
away all of her sails except a small
one, the smack Favorite after being
since last Friday endeavoring to make
Pensacola, was towed into port yester-
day afternoon by the tug Okaloosa,
and moored at the PaIafox wharf. She
had been sighted in the gulf by men
on duty at the life-saving station, who
came to the city and informed the
owners, Saunders & Co, of the condi-
ton of the vessel, and tug was i'm
mediately sent out.
The master of the vessel stated that
last Friday afternoon he was in the
gulf about 200 miles off Pensacola en-
gagged in fishing. The weather was
calm and the sails of the smack were
up, when suddenly a whiTlwind struck
the vessel, stripping her of sail and
sending her under water for few mo-
mentS. The blow lasted three or four
minutes and then passed on.
With small sail stretched the Fav-
orite started for Pensacola at once,
not waiting to catch any more snap
pers, and has been since that time
getting up off Pensacola.
The captain said that a Mobile fish
ing vessel was near when the whiTl-
wind passed, and was slightly dam
aged.

gTS1HE rules of this company
I which guide the operators
in their work of giving
telephone service are the same in
every city in which We have an
exchange. An operator trans
ferred from one exchange to
another will find the same rules
enforced and the same methods
m vogue The value of a uniform
system of operating has been
thoroughly demonstrated. The
system has been worked out by
experts and the two most impor-
tant features are quick service
and accurate service.
Our operators are notPermitted
to enter into arguments and dis
cuss;ons with subscribers. Their
sole function is to- give service.
A subscriber who has fault TO find
should not try to tell the operator
about it. The complaint desk
should be called and the report
be made to the operator on this

desk. When operators make tart
replies or answer persons who are
irritated, it IS done in absolute
violation of our rules.
Telephone users can very well
see that if is not reasonable TO
expect the operator to take up
her time in an argument. When
she does so somebody's service is
suffering. On this account we
ask our subscribers, no matter
how exasperating the circumstan-
ces may seem, not to reproach
the operator, but TO report the
matter in detail and let us handle
it. A dispute between a sub
scriber and an operator only ccm-
plicates matters. We have meth
DDS for correcting faults and We
want to know Of the faults when
they occur.
A visit TO one of our exchanges
will demonstrate 10 you the inn
Portanoe and necessity of this
rule.
