(From Saturday's Dally)
There was an excursion train yes
terday from Macon to Beech Haven,
and about 400 negroes from the Cem
tral dlty came on the train to attend
tho picnic.
All of the secret service men con
nected with tbs road were on band
to keep things straight. Special Of
ficer Gentry from this city went up
to come down wtthJths crowd, and
today the officer Is ireutag-hts-flO'
gor In a sling, tba member having
been almost amputated Iby a bell'g-
erent negro woman, whom he was
trying to stop from lighting another
negro woman.
It Is said that thro# or fonr ne
gro women on the train had a falling
out about some trivial .matter such
as spilling soda water or sarsaparilla
on the other's dress Words follow
ed and hi a minute or iwo the wo
men bad out raxors and knives and
were trying to kill each other. Of
ficer Gentry and some of tho train
men managed to separate tho women
and get their cutting Irons away
from. them. They did not remain
separated very long, however. 4ffnen
the officers were least expecting It,
(ho fight broke ont again and there
was scratching and hair pulling like
mad panthers until the officer man
aged to force the lighters apart
One of the women was biting an
other when Officer Gentry tried to
force her month open ,tnd mate her
taxed her hold lustTolFenough to
clamp down on the officer’s Anger
Like a turtle, she threatened to hold
on until It thundered, and she might
have done so If Mr. Gentry had not
legnn to nss his clob. A few blows
from that made the woman open her
month and fall to the floor.
Theredwas a goof deal off excite-
raent on* the train, (but It waa con
fined to the coach where the- lighting
occurred. If It had not been for. th
presence of the Officer tho women

renovate. The mattress weighed SI
pounds when It waa turned over to
the renovator and only 10 pounds
when it was returned.
Carter stated that the mattress
would shrink from cleaning, but he
admitted that It ought not to shrink
that much and be could make no ex
planation as to what became of .the
difference, though he stated -, H 1 *)*
‘‘ was Impossible tor It to.have
become mixed With other cotton.
Judge Cranford stated that, If
would ho heat to matte him more
careful in handling other folks’ cot
ton in future, so he was fined |100.

BOLD ROBBERY AT QUITMAN.
Cash Was Taken to tbs Amount of
8218 From Moran's Store.
A. J. Moran's grocery store was
robbed laat Sunday night (between
midnight and dawn. The robber got
(218 In cash from the safe and hts
methoda Indicated not only a cool
hand, but one thoroughly familiar
with the store. Entrance was made
at the aide door of the itore. This
door being rather Insecure In Its
fastenings waa easy for the thief.
It had a bar across the Inside, and
to make the fastening better a long
handled shovel was slipped In be
tween the door and the bar. Stand
ing on a pile of boxes by the door,
tho thief reached through the tran
som. lifted the bar up with the
shovel Itself and opened the door.
It was Mr. Moran’s habit to lock
the safe but not to turn the combi
nation on entirely. Turning It back
notch by notch would unlock It. That
was what the thief did. The lock
to the cash drawer was either fitted
with key or picked. The cash In It
nmounted to about *218; there were
checks making a total of (500, but
the thief did not disturb these or
anything In the safe except the cash.
A few dol'ars In the cash regBter
was also untouched.
Tbe thief made hia escape
through a window In the end of the
store right by the safe. The door
where he came In was fastened again
exnctly as he found It; the eafe-waa
closed and the, combination turned
on. though not quite as much as Mr.
Moran had left It. The lights lef*
burning In the store were turned out.
roliceman Maehburn said they were
burning at midnight when he passed
the store, so It Is presumed the rob
bery occurred after midnight. These
circumstances all Indicate that the
thief was thoroughly famtlar with
the store by some means. The police
are working on the case but no clue 1
offers as yet.—Quitman Free Press.
