Considerable indignation exists among
the bar pilots at Pensacola over the fact
that the Wednesday barkentine Cushing slipped into
port without pilotage. This
is said to be, only the second instance of
the kmd for tho past two years, known
to the pilot’s association, and steps are
likely to be taken to compel the Cushing
to pay the pilotage she avoided, and if it
is not attempted it will be because of the
frequency of her visits to that port, ns
she goes there three or four times annu

as the vessel in which Brown, the Swcd

WWcfc Fear Meu are Killed.
A deadly battle was fought four miles
of Dekalb Texas Tuesday. Four male
members of a family named White were
piti itted against Colonel John E. Rosser,
his son i Willie, aged fifteen years, and a
hired man named Mullens. The affray
resulted in the killing of three of the
Whites and Colonel Rosser, and the
wounding of Rosser’s boy. The affray

ser, after being shot through the neck
and having, as he supposed, seen all of
his enemies killed, mounted his horse
and rode half a mile to his house, dying
as he entered his own door. His son
Willie was left with the dead men at the
house of White. Rosser had sold to
White and his sons a tract of land for
which they had not paid. A suit for
evictment was brought and decided in
Rosser’s favor. Rosser thought the writ
had not been enforced promptly enough,
and he started with his son and a hired
man to enforce it himself. Informally.

they reached the house of White, and
after a few words, firing began. J. C.
White and his two sons, Walter and Law
son, were killed. Young Rosser was
inside and his version of the affair is as
follows: The elder White shot him and
his father, and he shot old man White
