CHASING THE BURGLARS!
A DESPERATE BATTLE WITH THEM
AT SESOIA,
In Which Frank Norton is Shot ••The
Goods and Dr. Beckham’s Horse
and Buggy Recovered.
In yesterday’s News the burglary
qf Prank Norton’s bar at Creswell
on Monday night was mentioned-
aud the fact that the trail of tbc bur
glar had beeu immediately found
and followed by W. J. Bridges, B. F.
Nortop and J M. Bridges. The
last named was in town yesterday
and furnished the result of the chase.
About nine miles from Creswell,
and betweeu Brook Station and So
noia, they found where the burglar,
evidently finding himsdf pursnod,
bad left his horse atad buggy in a
swamp nnd secured a fresh horse
and a wagon from a colored man.
Proceeding rapidly forward the pur
suers overtook the party they were in
search of, just on the other side of
Senoiffi and found it to consist of a
white man, it yollow negro and a
black negro. The alula man at
once turned and fired with a large
revolver, Ihe ball passing between
J. M. Bridges, who was on one side,
and NortoD, who was in the middle.
Both the Bridges jumped out and
the burglar shot a second time a't
Norton, but missed him. Ho fired a
third shot jnst as Norton was get
ting oat and struck him on tbc left
hip, causing him to fall to the
ground. In the meart'tne the others
had fired two or three times at the
burglars, with a pistol and a double
barrelled shot gun. The yellow ne
gro jumped out of the wagon and
ran toward the Creswell party with
a weapon, when they opened fire
upon him aud he retreated. The
white burglar is thought to hav®
been shot iu the right arm or shoul
der, while the yellow negro was pep
pered in the lace and nock with
bird shot; but they both took to the
woods and after a short pursuit es
caped. This was about twelve
o’clock, and the affray took place
ubont seventy-five feet from the
school house, which had just let out.
Taking the horse and wagon, and
the black negro, who turned out to
ba their owner, they turned back
and secured the horse and buggy
and the balance of the g*ods stolen.
The hort proved to be the one
stolsn from Dr. Beckham, of Zebu
loo, on the same Monday night, and
the buggy was also his, although he
had not nursed it. They are worth
together sb<« $200, and the Doctor,
who was in town yesterday, was
greatly rgoiced when lie bad heard
of their recovery.
Frank Norton’s wound is only in
the flesh, the ball hitting some men
ey in Lis trousers pocket and turn
ing around toward the spine. It is
a large and painful wound, but not
serious.
The white burglar i» a man of
about twenty five or twenty six
years, weighing about 175 pounds,
with a heavy sandy mustache and
short young beard. He told the
negro whom he picked up that he
had committed the robborv at
Brooks Station a year ago, m u if
he had not been molested it was his
intention to break into Col. Daniels’

The present condition of the fruit
was next discussed, the general
being that there are still
plenty of livo fruit buds fora good
crop. Some varieties of peaches and
in some localities, particularly where
treo stood in low gronnd, showed
loss by frost. Kelsey’s Japan plum
has lost heavily. Mr. Husted reports
even as ranch 19-20 of the buds
dead, but 1-20 will be enough for the
trees to perfect. Ho also stated that
peach trees had been killed by the
late frost and mentioned as a curions
fact that in some instances terminal
buds had escaped, while those in the
body of same tree wt re killed. Le
oante pears generally are all rigb'» as
are also Manana Wild Goose plums-
The reports of several gentlemen
who had carefully experimented with
whole cotton seed nnd meal as grape
vine fertilizers, show that no benefit
i6 derived from, its use. F.<r peach
es, however, cotton seed iu one in
stance made vigorous wood growth.
Mr. Husted stated that it was well
known that potash and phosphates
were esseutial to healthy wood
growth aud that the oil in cotton
seed was detrimental to the manorial
effect of whole seed or fertilizers that
used gronnd seed. It was stated that
a gentlemen near Atlanta found the
use cf nitrate of soda for trees cans
ed the best and healthiest wood
growth.
Mr. Va» Dyke gave a very interest
ing talk on underdraicage, a subject
be is well qualified to sperkon, he
having had large experience in rnak
ing and using drain tile in Ohio.
He advances the the theory that an
derdraining, if well done, would obvi
ate the necessity of terracing and
hill side ditching by running drains
around the hills almost the same a«
terrf q.es, except giving the hill fall to
carr; off the water. Mr. Husted
thoi -it that a vineyard well under
drai d would well repay for the ex
peme by increased value of crop.'
