between the producers in Michigan and
Kansas and New York,” Mr. Wheeler said.
“We have been shipping salt from Chicago,
tho distributing point, to pla"es in Kansas,
paying f 1 per barrel freigut, and selling it
at $1 20. We have also shipped it east at
at the same exhorbitant ra’es. Kansas and
Now York producers have been sending salt
into our territory with like result,
a loss both to them and to us. After the
association is formed each manufacturing
point will be apportioned into its own dis
trict. The loss on the 1 ng freight haul
will be adjusted and prices will go up 10
cent- a barrel.
The association will begin business Jan. 1
next. Mr. Burt, the defeated candidate for
governor of Michigan, will be first presi
dent. Of tbe stock, $5,000,000 will bo held

ATTACKED BY SHRIMPS.
A Coal Fleet Saved from Sinking By
Very Hard Work.
Memphis, Tenx., July 15.— For a week
post the coal fleet moored a few miles above
this city has been ia jeopardy, aud only by
strenuous efforts aud a large outlay of
money have tbe owners succeeded in keep
ing the boats afloat. The fleet consists of
seventy-five barges, containing 650,000
bushels of coal, valued at $175,000.
The trouble was brought about
iu a most singular and unexpected
manner. Shrimps in countless myriads nave
eaten out tbe oakum in the seams of the
boats, letting the water in, nnd rendering
the services of a large number of men at
the pumps necessary to keep tbe boats from
sinking. The boats have been moved into
the current, which has kept the shrimps off,
and the saw dust rammed into the leaks.
Several days of labor will yet bo required
before the fleet is considered safe.

SHOT WHILE IN Ul3 BUOGY.
The Crime Aeeoclated With n Public
Road Dispute,
Btaiikb, Fla., July 15. —Saturday night
about 9:15 o’clock C. J. West, a farmer
living 'i\ miles west of Starke,
on the Stark* and Lake Butler road, while
driving home in a donkey oart, was shot In
the buck by some unknown party. West
was one of tho smallest men in Rradford
county, weighing only about 90 pounds.
Ho came here about three years ago
from one of tho western states
and bought some land
adjoining the property of one Thomas
Hopkins, formerly of Wisconsin. West
was a very industrious little fellow and was
supposed to have no enomy in the country.
Recently there seems to have boeu some
hard feelings between West aud Hopkins
on account of anew nubile road for which
West and others hiul petitioned the board
of couuty commissioners, and to wnioh
Hopkins objected, as it would necessarily
pass through his land. It seems that
West had no outlet from his place
to any public road, and to enable
him to reach the nearest public road, ha
had on several occasions let down Hopkins’
fence. This seems to have created some
hard fen'inga between the parties. Saturday
night West left town in his donkey cart for
hotuo, ami as hi w< in tho act of driving
through tho gap of Hopkins’ fence tho shot
was fired, the ball striking him in the back.
Tho donkey pulled the nmti and cart up to
West’s house, distant about 200 yard*.
Wett was still ali vo when lie reached the
house, and stated that ho thought Hopkins
did tho shooting. No arrest has beeu made
up to this time. There is considerable ex
citement in town. West died Saturday
night.
