Slay 7- Aguinaldo had fled
Even hours before, leaving all the
Eaten trails and traveling through
■he forest along the beds of streams.
■Ward evening, May 19, Major
fcarch struck Aguinaldo’s outpost
|bout a mile outside of La Gat,
lilliug four of the Filipinos and
lapturing two. From the latter he
larned that Aguinaldo had camp
id for the night. Although ex
hausted and half starved, Major
■larch's men entered La Gat on
[he run. They saw the insurgents
Scattering into the bushes or over
Ilateau. A thousand yards beyond
■he town on the mountain side the
Kgures of twenty-five Filipinos
pressed in white, with their leader
Bn a gray horse, we: e silhouetted
■gainst the sunset. The Ameri
cans fired a volley and saw the of
■ker dropped from his horse. His
■followers fled, carrying the body.
■The Americans on reaching the
■spot caught the horse, which was
■richly saddled. Blood from a bad-
By wounded man was on the

Bed Aguiualdo's diary and some pri
vate papers, including proclama

ATTEMPTED TRAIN ROBBERY-
Thrilling Experience of Train Crew
With Texas Bandits.
Long View, Tex., June 4. —An
ineffectual attempt to hold up the
northbound "cannon ball” train on
the International and Great North
ern was made shortly after mid
night near Price’s Switch, sixty
miles south of this city.
Engineer Charles Rich saw a
pile of crossties and a lantern on
the track and stopped. Three
masked men with leveled revolvers
forced the engineer and Fireman
Love to uncouple the mail, bag
gage and express cars and pull
about two miles from the remain
der of the train. The robbers then
commanded Express Messenger
Rutherford to open his car door
and failing to get any response,
made Fireman Love break in the
door with a coal pick. As the fire
man broke down the door he called
to the messenger and Baggagemas
ter Strong not to shoot. The mes
senger replied lie would kill the
first man to enter the car. Love
was forced in and the messenger
shouted: “Get aside, Love,” and
fired. The robbers instantly fired
into the car, but its occupants were
not struck. During the confusion
Engineer Rich crawled to his en
gine and boarded it unnoticed. He
pulled the throttle wide open and
left the robbers behind. A quick
run was made to Jacksonville, fif
teen miles north. At daybreak
bloodhounds were put on the trail
of the robbers. The hold-up occur
red near the vicinity where the
same train was robbed five years
ago.

' OUT IN TEXAS
The Brocks and the Wall Factions
Have a Clash-
GOVERNORORDERSOUTTROOPS
To Preserve Order —Three Men
Were Killed, Including; Sheriff
Roberto—Trouble Political-.
Houston, Tex., June 4. —At San
Augustine, San Augustine county,
this morning a pitched battle be
tween the Wall faction on the one
side and the Brocks on the other
resulted in the death of Felix G.
Roberts, his brother Sidney and
the fatal wounding of Noel Roberts
sheriff of the county and brother of
the dead men. The feud grew out
of politics and has been brewing
for some years. A few weeks ago
Ned Wall, the sheriff, was shot
and killed by King Borden, at San
Augustine. Borden fled, but after
wards surrendered and was admit
ted to bail. Noel Roberts was ap
pointed sheriff. Last Saturday
Eugene Wall, brother of the dead
sheriff, shot to death Ben Brocks, a
kinsman of Borden. Today the
factions met, when the examining
trial of Wall was to have been held
and every man came to the court
house armed. Hostilities began
with the appearance of S .eriff Rob
erts and his brother, who fell at
the first volley from a score of guns.
A few scattering shots were return
ed by the Wall factionists, but did
no execution. Sheriff Robe.ts was
removed to his home, where he
died iiua short time.
Application was at once made to
the governor for troops and the
Stone Fort Rifles were ordered
from Nacogdoches, but they have
to go by stage and will not arrive
at San Augustine until tomorow.
There is much excitement and more
trouble is feared.
Both factions are large and com
posed of nervy men. Eugene Wall,
the leader of his faction, is 26 years
old and has killed lour men in as
many years.
THE VETS RETURN
Bartow’s ContinKent at Louisville
Reunion Report a Good Time.
Bartow’s crowd of veterans and
visitors, of which there were all of
fifty, have returned from their in
teresting trip to the Louisville re
union. •
All, without exception, praise
the hospitality of the people of
Louisville, and report a pleasant
trip, notwithstanding the rain,
which was incessant, almost, from
the time they left until they re
turned home.
The main bulk of our visitors,
who went in a special car and on
a special train on Tuesday morn
ing did not reach Louisviiie until
Wednesday morning at 2:35 and
staid in their coach until daylight.
Then they went out into the city
and divided up into little sight see
ing squads, taking in reunion feat
ures and points of interest in the
city.
Georgia was there in force, both
with her chivalric .veterans and
beautiful girls and handsome boys,
and as did the visitors of other
southern states, made a fine im
pression on their hosts.
The reunion was a grand suc
cess. and the parade, if the weath
er had have been favorable, would
have been the grandest pageant
the south had ever witnessed.
Louisville certainly did her level
best and the best of system and
method characterized all the ar
rangements and the heartiness of
the city’s welcome was everywhere
manifest in the official circles and
among the people.
Memphis being selected as the
next place for the reunion seemed
to meet with general approval, and
it is believed it will go to Balti
more in 1902.
Quite Creditable.
The closing exercises at the
opera house of the Independent
Colored school, last Friday night,
was quite a creditable affair.
The neat and cleanly appearance
of the scholars, and the perfection
in the recital and rendition of their
pieces were only evidences of the
fact, that Mary E. Cothran had
discharged faithfully her duty as
teacher.
The parasol drill rendered by
twenty-four girls in pink and blu
costumes was worthy of special
mention.
Although the opera house was
packed to its utmost capacity, the
be tof order was observed. This
sp ks well for the teacher and
hei patrons.

NOT ALARMED.
New York’s Sanitary Officer on the
Bubonic Plaßue.
New York, June 2. —A, H. Doty,
the health officer of the port of
New’ York in an interview said
that there is not a city in the world
whose sanitary conditions are su
perioi to those of New York and
consequently he has no fears that
the bubonic plague will obtain a
foothold here. He says that bu
bonic plague, like typhus fever, is
pre-eminently a disease which
thrives in filth and overcrowding
and other bad sanitary conditions.
‘ Although the transmission of
the bubonic plague by vermin com
plicates the treatment of this form
of this infection, it is quite certain
that the danger from it can be re
duced to the minimum by the ob
servance of proper care,” said the
doctor in an interview.
“I do not hesitate to say that on
the appearance of bubonic plague
in any place where proper sanitary
conditions exist and the importance
of cleanliness and fresh air is fully
recognized, the disease would soon
be undei control.”
