Two Have Narrow Escape From Assassination Near
 Iron City

Annisfon. December S.-(Speeial)- Deptuy Revenue Collectors P. B. Bush of Atlanta, and ". II. Barton of Hetiin, who had narrow escape from assassi- nation at the hands of five moonshincrs near Iron City Saturday afternoon, have secured the names of the men and ar rests will likely follow, according to Deputy George P. MeClurldn of this city, who has returned home. MT. McLurl1n was with the posse. but was not pres ent when their lives were threatened, he having stayed in the road with the 1eam in which the officers were -ravel- ing.
 Having found some wild cat whiskey at the home of one of the men, the ot- ficers scented a still nearby, and started on the hunt About POO yards from the plant, they encountered a picket, who gave his name as Burk Wyatt. lie stated that there were four armed men at the still, and that they had told him they would shoot to Kill If ihe of- fcers advanced.
 Not needing the warning, the officers pressed forward after disarming the pick ct. and just before they reached the still he stepped in front of them, stating that his friends would not shoot him All of the men quickly surrendered but one, who was in a ditch and it took q revolver shot and a leveled Krag rifle to bring him to capitulate.
 The men gave their names as Burk, George and Jesse Wyatt, Joe Gaither and oscar Smith, alias Banty Smith. owing to the fact that no marshal accompanied the deputies, they had to be released; but their arrest is expected soon. The still, four shotguns and a rifle were cap tured by the collectors.

 Cleghorn is said to have been ap- preached by Cochran, who drew a re- volver and fired at close range. The victim fell to the ground and was picked up by friends and carried away.
 The assalaht, believing that lie had killed Cleghorn, gave himself up to Sher- if Branch. When it was learned that Cleghorn had not been killed, as was at first thought, Cochran was released on bond furnished by his friends.
 Members of the family of the dead girl believed at the time of her death that she had been poisoned. They had her stomach examined for traces of po- son. None was found by a chemist. Cochran implicated in tonight's shoot ing. proposed to have the body exhumed and "a full examination made, but the plan was abandoned
 According to the mother of the dead girl her last words were:
 'I never want to see Tan Cleghorn again. He has ruined my life.
 Just previous to her fatal illness, Miss Marchman had taken a buggy ride with Cleghorn to this place and. it is alleged, he had given her fruit and candy.

 The court continues to allow the pris- oners the greatest latitude. The long stories they tell of terrible examina- tions run unchecked and increase daily. in narrowing detail, notwithstanding the protests of the defendants counsel These in open court urge their clients not to dwell upon the stories which, .noy maintain, challenge belief and are likely to prove ineffective. The defendants are advised to produce material evidence, alibis and documents which can be used by their counsel with some effect.
 The prisoners hear one another testify and when some new detail of torture is related by one it is repeated generally by others on successive days, until even the judge sometimes suggests greater condolences.
 Among the witnesses whose presence has been demanded by counsel for the defense are several American mission aries, the police inspector and his as- sistants Judge Suzuki has promised that he will conduct a searching examina- ton of all evidence presented
 Up to the present time the trial has not presented the slightest indication of prejudice against the Christian move ment.

SIX NEGROESA ARE
 HURRIED ID MOBILE
Excitement Intense in ChOc- taw Following Finding
 of Bush's Body


 Mobile, December s.-The finding ot the body of B. B. Bush, killed near Butler. ihsChoctaw county. last Monday, aroused the anger of persons living in that county anew yesterday, the killing having been followed by the lynehins of Azariah Curtis, q negro, and only the quick action of Sheriff Locke saved the lives of six negroes charged with complicity in the crime. Sheriff Locke brought the six negroes ac Mobile on late train this evening and they were placed in the county jail.
 According to the sheriff. three other negroes had been lynched but the hasly manner of his leaving made it impossi- ble for him to verify the statement. The body of Bush was covered with Lullet and knife wounds. and the skull showed marks of some blunt instru- ment, supposed to have been the butt ot the gun with which he was killed. Robbery was the motive for Bush s death. it is said He was respected farmer of the county. Sheriff Locke de- clafes that the business of Butler is at a standstill as he has deputized all the citizens he could find to guard the prls- oners, all of whom are now, however, safely behind the hare here. The prs oners were glad to reach Mobile. Each denied any connection with the crime.

Found He Had Hit a Polar Bear.

with bears are not sought. unless rife
men are included in the party; but
some times there is no alternative.
This season, on one occasion. seven
mon armed only with seal clubs had
to fight an old male bear.
One man thought he saw a seal be-
hind a hummock and started on after
1t, second following him. Just as
the first topped the hummoch he
raised his club and struck, when to
his horror he found he had hit polar
bear over the snout. The bear turned
on him with an agry growl and would
have dismembered him with a single
stroke had not the second man got In
and hit him on the snout also. This
blow half stunned him, and he fell
backward into small water hole.
Still. though dazed, he struggled
to get out, and so there was nothing
for 1t but to fight him, and this the
men did successfully. the whole seven

one mans ankle, lacerated another's
thigh and splintered the arm of a
third before he gave in. His skin and
fat weighed 400 pounds, and his car
cass probably as much more, 80 that
he was as bulky as small horse.
