PEDDLERS BATTLE;
JNO. ABRAHAM
DEAD
FOREIGNERS SETTLE DIFFER.
ENCES WITH GUNS AT McHEN-
RY-DEcEASED LIVED HERE.

John Abraham, native of Persia,
who has made his home with the fam
lily of John Petro in this city for the
past four years, was killed in a shoot
ing ARRAY which occurred at McHen-
ry, at II o'clock Monday morning.
The body of the deceased was
brought to Hattiesburg on the 10: 80
train this morning and is now at the
Hulett Undertaking parlors, where it
is being prepared for burial, which
will be in the City cemetery at one
o'clock Wednesday afternoon.
Abraham was about 46 years of
age, and since he came to Hatties-
burg has spent most of the time as
a peddler travelling through the coun-
try and to the small towns on the
railroads in this section.
Abraham and Sam Shahaday met
at boarding house kept by Mr.
Winter, about two miles from the
railroad station at McHenry and a
dispute arose between them over a
claim for $40 Abraham held against
Shahaday, with result that they were
soon in a general mix-up. Going into
an adjoining room, several shots were
fired and when Winter the landlord,
entered Abraham was lying on the
floor, with Shahaday on him with smok-
ing pistol in hand. Winter had in his
own hands his shot gun, which being
unloaded he used to strike Shahaday
a severe blow on the back of the head
cutting a deep cash in the scalp.
Shahaday turned and fred one shot
at Winter and then fed to another
house about a half mile distant, where
he was afterwards arrested. When
taken in charge by an officer Shahaday
was found to be suffering from
wound in his groin in addition to the
cut on his head
Abraham received two wounds, one
through the right lung and another
under the right arm, the latter show
ing bad powder burns. Both balls
went entirely through the body and
lodged just under the skin.
Shahaday was taken to a hospital
in Gulfport.
Father O'Riley will officiate at the
burial of Abraham and the funeral
will be in charge of the members of a
secret benevolent order to which he
belonged

POOR SHOWING OF
WAREHOUSE
COMPANY
SURPRISING DISCLOSURES ARE
BROUGHT TO LIGHT THROUGH
AUDIT OF BOOKS.

Jackson, Miss, Jan. 7.-Since in
voluntary bankruptcy proceedings
against the National Warehouse Com
pany were filed in the Federal court
in this city several weeks ago, some
interesting disclosures have been
brought to light through an audit of
the books of the concern.
The balance sheet shows that the
gross income of the corporation, or
ganized for the purpose Of putting the
cotton crop of the south in the control
of the farmers, was only $4,000 per
annum, while the salaries alone
amounted to $4,000 year. In other
words, the company was running &c.
600 per annum behind it's gross in
come. The salary roll shows that the
former president, George r. Hightow-
er, was paid salary of $4,000 per
year.
The company owned or controlled
fifty-one warehouses in the state, on
which valuation of $4,000 was
placed. 1t is estimated that the ware
houses were not worth so per cent of
that figure, and they are worth a
great deal less now. Some of them
received no cotton whatever last year,
and several warehouses at important
interior market points did not show re-
ceipts exceeding 100 bales for the
entire season.
Fictitious values were also placed
on two realty holding of the concern,
one of them being an ancient brick
building on South State street, in this
city, placed on the inventory at $780,
900, when in fact it could not be sold
for $4,000 on the local realty market.
Similarly, lot in Hattiesburg is on
the inventory at $4,000, when its real
value is below $4,000.
In view of the showing made by the
books, creditors of the concern are at
loss to understand why the officers
Of the National Warehouse Company
are resisting the bankruptcy proceed
ing, unless it is for the reason that
hey desire a receivership of their own
choosing.

A FORMER PATRON

headache for years before she obtain

There never was day for nine
years that I didn't suffer from the most

Barlow Judging only from what he
has done for me- I deem Charles In

trouble as was mine ne would be

II never could obatin the slightest
relief for the sharp headaches with
which I was increasingly afffIcted until
