Foods Necessary for Hogs.

Pigs, and, in fact, all hogs, should
have ready access at all times to salt
and ashes. Charred corn cobs are al.
ways excellent.
The reason why hogs so eagerly de.
your coal, ashes, rotted wood and
such material is because they do not
have, while in close confinement, the
material their system demands. At
large they root such material from
the ground.
The farmer who grows a liberal sup.
ply of roots for his hogs seldom has
much trouble from the ordinary dis.
eases to which swine are subject.

following exception:
This Court is Of the opinion that;

the spirit of this decree, there will be
no need for further litigation. Surely,
nothing could SO alleviate the mis-

BLOODY BATTLE IN GEORGIA.
One Man Killed, Two May Die, O0,-
"rs Injured.

Cordele, Ga, Dec. 9.-John Christ
mas was killed late Saturday after
noon at Kings Mill, three miles from
Sycamore, and his brother, Jim
Christmas, and J. D. Ward, all of
Vienna, Dooly county, were critically
wounded In a bloody battle between
the employees of the lumber con-
Germ and the Christmas boys, backed
by number of relatives and friends.
Others we're injured in the ARRAY,
but none seriously.
The mill operatives alleged that G.
R. Christmas, relative to John and
Jim Christmas, had been obnoxious,
for which, on last Saturday, they ad-
ministered a severe whipping to him,
burning his clothes and other per-
sonai effects. Learning Of this Sc
we're treatment, relatives aud friends
of Christmas left Vienna on the first
train for Sycamore, securing convey
ances there to the mill.
The mill operatives were expecting
them, and had armed themselves with
automatic guns. The Christmas boys
determined to settle the difference
with the young mans enemies.
Upon the arrival of the men from
Vienna heated argument arose, be-
coming so threatening that the older
men employed at the mill intervened
in efforts to prevent bloodshed. Their
efforts were without effect on the in
furiated men on both sides, and
shortly the shooting commenced.
Young Christmas was killed almost
Instantly.
1t Is understood that the Christ
mas boys we're willing to settle the
differences amicably If the mill ope-
ratives would pay for the burned
clothing of the young man and COM
pensate him in other ways for the
whipping, but this the mill men re-
fused to do.
Gang Not Arrested.
Cordele, Ca, Dec. 9.-Up to an
early hour tonight no warrants had
been issued, and no arrests made of
employees of Kings Mill who took
part in the shooting affair there Sat
urday afternoon In which John
Christmas was instantly killed and
his brother, Jim Christmas, and j. ID.
Ward, all of Vienna, were wounded
There were eight eye-witnesses to
the tragedy, all of whom refuse
stoutly to discuss the affair. y
Sheriff King, having failed to gain
any positive information as to who
took part in the shooting, refuses to
make any arrests until warrants are
issued. Relatives of the young men
have likewise failed to learn the
identity Of their assailants.

Kinney Bergen Killed and Three OtYe-
thcr CrackSnen Taken,

Memphis, Tenn, Dec. 10.-In a.
raid on a house in the outskirts of
the city early to-day, "Kinney" Ber-
gen, believed to be widely known
safe-blower and all-round crook, was.
killed by city detectives. Frank HoI--
loway, known to police authorities of
the Middle West and Southwest as a
robber and swindler. with two other
men and a woman, was placed under
arrest at the same time
Chief Of Detectives Roper had Sc
cured information that the men were
living at 1857 Wilson street and sent
six detectives to make the capture.
The policemen were heavily armed,
fearing serious trouble with the
craftsmen. Holloway and two of
the men, known as "Tex", Wallace
and Jack Monday, were taken into
custody without resistance. The wo-
man who opened the door was seized
and prevented from making an out
cry.
Bergen held Detective Poppino at
bay with steady fusillade from his
pistol, leaped from the garret win
dow, about thirty-flve feet, and made
his escape in his night clothes. La
ter he returned, it Is thought, to Sc
cure his clothing, and in the piston
duel that resulted was almost in
stantly shot to death.
Holloway, who Is credited with be-.
ing the leader Of the gang, was ar,
rested in Chicago a few months ago.
and at that time made an alleged coz
fession, duplicating himself in the
robbery OF the New Westminster
British Columbia) Bank when
sum in excess Of 100000 was Sc
cured. He did this, it Is said, To-
avoid being sent to Texas, where he.
was wanted for safe-blowing.

range. a,
Cleghorn fell and was picked up
by friends and carried away. This
gave rise to the report that he was
dead.
Cochran also believed that he had
killed Cleghorn and gave himself up
to Sheriff Branch. Cochran was re-
leased on bail as soon as it was
found that Cleghorn was not killed.
Cochran is the man who loaned
Cleghorn mule some time ago, and
