A BEER BOTTLE
USED AS WEAPON
WHITE MAN ALMOST KILLED
BY NEGRO IN A FIGHT
LAST NIGHT.

Struck over the head and knocked
senseless by Will Turk, colored, with
a beer bottle, young white man.
employed at the Santa Clara cigar
factory, was reported to be in "a Sc
rious condition last night.
The white man and the negro be-
came engaged in a difficulty neal
Levy's store, where the negro is en-
ployed, and, the negro, seizing a beer
bottle, struck the white man a ter
rife blow just over the right temple
cutting deep cash in his skull and
severing vein just below the right
ear. The injured man was carried
to the office of DR.. G. w. Blanton as
quick as possible and was treated by
Drs. Blanton and Bishop, it being nee
essary to take several stitches. The
injury was pronounced a very serious
one, but not necessarily fatal The
negro is in jail, and will not be given
"a preliminary trial until the serious
ness of the wound is ascertained.

BOAT OWNED BY SANFORD P
ROSS DREDGING COMPANY
. SUNK THURSDAY.
Dredee Had Been at Work in Florida
When Struck by Gale - Tugs and
Lighters Go to the Rescue of Boat.

A large dredge, owned by the San
ford P. Ross Dredging company, of
Savannah, was sunk off Cumberland
island Thursday, and it is feared that
the craft will be a total loss, though
efforts are now being made to raise
her.
1t is understood that the dredge
was practically new one and had
been at work in Florida and was en-
route to Savannah to engage in har
Dor work. She was struck by the
northeast gale which blew with con-
siderable velocity off the coast or
Wednesday night and Thursday morn
ing, and was capsized, going to the
bottom.
Details of the accident are not
known, but it is understood that the
crew of eight or ten men were all
saved.
Tugs and lighters were sent to the
rescue of the dredge as soon as it was
learned that she had gone down, but
up to yesterday nothing had been
heard from them, therefore it is hard
ly probable that she has yet been
raised

TANG SHAO VI,

orizes the Associated Press to say he
still hopes that Premier Yuan Shi Kat

the republic as the only means of Sc
curing peace.
Tang Shao vi said that Premier
Yuan Shi Kai up to o'clock this eve-
ming had not communicated with him
his decision to repudiate the sugges

not believe that Yuan Shi Kai will
decide against the suggested republic
after he has thoroughly digested Tang

BODY OF MAN KILLED AT
EVERETT STILL HELD HERE
1t May Develop That He Was a
Resident of Macon.

The body of the young white man
who was killed by a Seaboard Air Line
passenger train last Sunday a short
distance from Everett, is still beng
held by Undertaken Zellner, awaiting
efforts being made to locate relatives
of the unfortunate man.
The only mark of identification
found on the person of the man was
a Y. M. c. A. card, indicating that he
was a member of the Toledo, Ohio,
branch of that order, but all efforts
to establish his identity in the Ohio
city have failed.
It may develop that the dead man
was Floyd Richardson, a mechanic of
Macon. Relatives in that city report
him missing and description sent
here to the undertaken fits the dead
man in almost every particular. 1t
will probably be known today whether
or not it is the Macon man, and if it
is not the remains will be inferred
in this city.

EXTRA FORCE TO
HANDLE PRESENTS
GREAT RUSH WAS EXPERIENCED
YESTERDAY AT EXPRESS OF
FIcE AND PosToFFIcE.

While the Christmas business has
been unusually lively at both the Of
fees of the Southern Express company
and the postoffice during the past few
days, the real rush was witnessed
yesterday, when both the offices had
hundreds of Christmas packages go
ing to every section of the country.
Late yesterday afternoon, just be-
fore the close of the days business,
the office of the Southern Express
company was packed from the front
to the rear door with packages of all
kinds and sizes and it took an extra
force to handle the days business. BY
hard work, however, the company sue
ceeded in getting every one of the
packages off on outgoing trains last
night.
At the postoffice the same condi-
ton of affairs existed and every clerk
was kept busy dispatching Christmas
packages. 1t is expected that the
rush will be even greater at both the
offices today, as they will have in
coming as we'll as outgoing business
to handle. This will no doubt be the
day on which most of the presents
will be received.
Both Of these offices deserve to be
congratulated upon the rapid way in
which they are handling the heavy
business.
