K. OF P. WIN SUIT.
Decision Says Raising Of Assessments
J~usti6able.


J~usti6able.
Jackson.-Special Judge W. r. Har-
per rendered an opinion in the suit
brought by Carl Neuman against the
endowment rank, Knights of Pythias,
which was heard in vacation, a special
judge being necessary through the dis
qualification of Judge Henry, who holds
membership in the defendant concern.
The suit was brought to recover as
sessments paid by Neuman as a member
of the endowment rank under a certifi-
cate of life insurance issued to him. He
claimed the supreme lodge had preached
its contract by illegally raising its rates
of assessment. The defendant pleaded
its right to increase such rates under its
contract, and that such increases were
reasonable and necessary to enable it to
fulfill it's obligations to policyholders.
The decision is a complete knockout for
Neuman and a victory for the supreme
lodge, Knights of Pythias. 1t is of great
moment all over the country, for had
the decision been adverse it is claimed
that dissatisfied policyholders of the
fourth class all over the Union would
have made Mississippi the clearing house
for their suits against the order. Neu-
man himself is a resident of Illinois.

BRATTON BOYS TO A
Verdict of Guilty Climax of Sensational
Trial.

Jackson.-A verdict of guilty, carrying
with it the extreme neutrality-suspicious.
returned by a jury in the circuit court
against the Bratton brothers, students
at Millsaps College, who were charged
with the murder of the Bufkin brothers,
at Chancey, a short distance from Can
ton.
The crime for which the men were
tried was one of the most sensational
in Mississippi, and stirred the little
community in which the participants
lived. One of the Bratton boys had an
alteration with Ben Bufkin, and, ac-
cording to the testimony OF the accused,
Bufkin attempted to cut him with a
knife. He testified that he fired two
shots at Bufkin because he believed his
life was in danger.

Food Inspectors at Work.

Jackson.-The two inspectors en-

have finished their first inspection of the
state as provided by law. Over 1000
samples OF food have been sent to the
state chemist for analysis, and about 500
of the specimens have been analysed,
but no report will be made on them I'M
til the task is finally completed, when
Prof. Hand will announce the results in
the form of a bulletin.
There is no question but that the in
s~pectors have found a great many arti-
cles of food of a highly deleterious char
acter being sold in violation OF the law.
Most of the vendors did not know that
Mississippi had a pure food law on its
books. 1t might as well not-for no
provisions are made for the enforcement
of the statutes on the subject of selling
impure foods. The law is very much
like the federal statute on the subject.
