FIGHT WITH MO0NSA|NERS
ALL NIGHT BATTLE WITH THE
FLOYD GANG.
Two Merry Deputies Capture Nine
After Desperate Contest in Tur-
key Haven Mountains.

ANNISTON, Ala, November 2S.-The
famous home of Moonshine whisky in the
Turkey Haven mountains of Alabama was
conquered, at least for the present, by
United States revenue officers when today
they brought to jail here Jim Floyd, for
decade the leader of the Floyd gang,
and eight alleged members of his band.
Five bullet wounds in Floyd's body at
tested to a desperate all night fight with
the alleged moonshiners. Floyd had boast
ed that he would never be taken alive,
and he was captured only after loss Of
blood had dimmed his eye and made his
grip on his revolver unsteady.
Two nervy deputies made all the cap
lures. They were Internal Revenue Agent
Knox Scott and Chief Deputy Marshal
Ashley, and they laid their plans craftily
last night when about to begin battle.
They concentrated their apparently for
lorn hope upon the leader of the band,
Jim Floyd, and when his companions saw
him lying prone at the officers mercy
they fed, with their fighting spirit gone.
The two officers believed that Floyd and
some of his companions were in the home
of Bob Allen, and shortly after dark they
attacked this house.
Fearless of Bullets.
During the shooting Floyd appeared at
a window and was shot as he attempted
to jump through it. Three of Floyd S
friends in the house then gave up the
fight, and the officers started on a night
roundup Of the others.
Fearless of the bullets which sped at
them. and by good luck escaping even
the slightest scratch, the pair captured
one after another of the band, only one
man, keeper of an alleged still, getting
away. The still of this man was de-
stroyed.
The deputies got on the trail of the
moonshners last Tuesday. when they
captured Will Floyd and Bob Allen.
These two escaped with the help of Jim
Floyd, their leader.
The men under arrest. in addition to
Jim Floyd, are VIII Floyd. Mack Perkins,
Try Perkins. Bob Allen. Will Allen, Joe
Allen, Lee Allen and John Smith. {.

Few If any of the bodies are muti.a ted

No effort has yet been made to remove

workings to see if they are now safe.
This work is expected to occupy several

President John II. Jones of the COM

With the minutes passing rapidly, the

Situation Grave, Says Furness.

The State Department late yesterday re-
ceived the following dispatch from Min
lister Furness at Port au Prince, Haiti:
1.-The government troops have been de-
feated and the insurgents are marching
upon the capital. Situation serious
At the Haitian legation it was said
that no news Of the engagement had been
received.
Minister Leger said that If there were
anything in the report he probably would
receive a cable in the course of the day.
That he had not been notified made him
doubt the seriousness of the report.
Paris Hears of Loss.
PARIS, November 2S-Dispatches re-
ceived here state that the government
forces left more than 800 dead and
wounded on the field in their recent en-
gagement under Gen. Celestin with the
doned their guns and ammunition to the
enemy.
Want Uncle Sam to Intervene.
Special Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON, November 2S.-Reports from
Washington to the effect that several
powers have intimated a desire that the
United States should intervene in Haiti,
where rebellion is in progress, are fully
confirmed. Most of the European gov
ernments, especially Great Britain, are
ready to go much further. They are
strongly DESTROYS that the United States
shall permanently administer the affairs
of the turbulent island.
Europe Is convinced that Haiti is ut
terly unfit for self-government. and that
there is no hope Of a peaceful domestic
administration.
These views have already been ex-
pressed to the Washington government
in the interests of both humanity and Of
the foreign trade with the islands.

The engagement took place at AnSe

government forces were routed and driven
back to Miragoane. about twenty miles

Alexis to Take Field.
President Nord Alexis. who has always

movement, has decided to take the Of

troops, which have been concentrated
here.
The United States cruiser Tacoma, I'M

the French training ship Duguay Trouin
have arrived here. This has gone far to-
ward reassuring foreign residents.
Reports have been current here that the
revolutionary army is marching on Port
au Prince. Even IL these reports are true
considerable time must elapse before it
reaches this city.
The residents have shown no signs Of
excitement. The diplomatic corps has de-
ciGed to prevent the entry of the revolu-
tionists for the purpose of pillage, by hav-
ing forces landed from the warshipS here.

CINCINNATI, November 2S.-The Hal

The Cincinnati firm purchased the rifles
from the United States government. They
are obsolete SO far as this government
is concerned, having been discarded by

STORM PLAYS A QUEER PRANK.
Twisted All Four Masts Of Schooner
James B. Drake.

The four-masted schooner James B.
Drake is at McPhee's shipyard in Bos-
ton undergoing repairs for one Of the
most peculiar accidents in the history
of navigation.
While cruising in southern waters
the schooner was caught in cyclonio
storm which revolved around the YES
sci in such manner that all four Of
her masts were twisted in their steps.
When the ship carpenters investigat-
ed the schooner preparatory to begin.
ming their work they could scarcely
believe their eyes. Plainly some ro-
tary motion of wind and storm had
caught the poles in a leverage, forc-
ing them just half way around. No
explanation is offered for the masts
not coming out Of the vessel All four
are standing and have been carrying
sail all the way to port. No other dam
age was received during the storm,
and although the masts were turned
they were not injured in the least
The accident is the first of its kind
in the memories of the Oldest navigat-
ors about the harbor. They say that
of all the freaky gales reported of the
tropics this is the strangest, and many
refused to believe the story until they
had visited the yard and viewed the
schooner hemselves.-Boston Tran

HAVE STRONG SENSE OF SMELL.
Horses Little Inferior to Dogs In That
Respect.

The horse will leave musty hay un.
touched in his, bin, however hungry.
He will not drink of water objection
able to his questioning sniff, or from
a bucket which some odor makes Of
tensive, however thirsty. His iatelli-
gent nostrils will widen, culver and
query over the daintiest bit offered by
the fairest of hands, with coaxings
that would make a mortal shut his
eyes and swallow a nauseous mouth
full at a gulp. A mare is never salts
fled by either sight or whinny that her
colt is really her own until she has a
certified nasal certificate to the fact.
A blind horse, now living, will not al
low the approach of any stranger
without showing signs of anger not
safely to be disregarded. The dis
tinction is evidently made by his sense
OF smell and at a considerable dis
tance. Blind horses, as rule, will
gallop wildly about a pasture without
striking the surrounding fences. The
sense of smell informs them of its
proximity-Horse and Stable.
