NO GEORGIA BRIGADE
Failure to 8ecure Rates for Extra 650
Men May Cause Change.
According to action taken yesterday
by the railroad authorities In Atlanta
In regard to prices for transportation
of troops on the camping trip to Ma
nassas It la very probable that 650
men will be cut off from the number
■which was to go from Georgia.
Gov. Terrell learned through com
munication with the railroads that no
less than two cents per mile would be
accepted for hauling the troops on ac
count of a previous contract with the
government. It was stated by the
government officials that the extra 650
men would be fed and paid If the state
would pTorido means of transporta
tion. The failure to get rates will
likely prevent the 650 men from going
on the trip.
In the event of cutting off this num
ber. only 1.600 troops will go to
Mnnassas from Georgia. That makes
It necessary to have them go in the
form of two regiments intend of a bri
gade. It Is the intention of the war
department to form the brigades out of
four regiments nnd according to this
the Georgia troops may not be able to
secure their own brigadier general.
The 1.600 men will only be form two
regiments and unless some arrange
ments can bo made for the extra 650
men the whole affair as far as a Geor
gia brigade Is concerned goes up In
the air.
It does not take an expert to tell
whether beer is good or bad. If it is
clear and brilliant like American
Queen, it is bound to be sound and
palatable.
SUPERINTENDENCY
OF THE BIBB SCHOOLS
People of Macon and Other Sections of
the State Are Watching Cloeely the
Action of the Board of Education.
A great deal of Interest has been
manifested by the people of Macon and
even of other sections of the state in
the election of a successor to Jere M.
Pound In the Bibb system of public
schools.
"It Is an evidence of the general In
terest In the schools.” said a member of
the board. In speaking of tho matter.
•There Is nothing yet to prevent the
choice of a very strong man and one
who will be In every way satisfactory
to the board. We ore only delaying this
election In order to give every person
concerned a /air showing. When the
choice Is made the man who serves
will be most heartily supported by the
entire board. I know nothing of what
the final reeult may be, but we are as
one Individual pulling for a good man
In this position. The board has long ago
realised that considerable Importance
Is attached to the action In settling
upon a superintendent, gnd every mem
ber Is making his decision In the mat
ter with such a point of view.
' "The election would have possibly
occurred last night but for the Illness
of one of the members of the board.
There Is nothing to fear In the delay.
The head of the Blkb system when he
shows up will be a man to whom we
can trust the superlntednent’s du
ties and there Is yet considerable time
for his election.”
No Pity Shown.
"Far years fate was after fne con
tinuously.” writes P. A. Oulledge. Ver
bena, Ala. "I had a terrible case of
piles, causing 24 tumors. When all
failed' Hucklen’s Arnica Halve cured
me. Equally good for burns and all
aches and pains. Only 26c at all drug
stores.

Carter. Detective.” at the Crump's Park
Casino last night. The piny wna well
acted and considerable attention wan
attracted by the clever portrayal* of a

year* been dear to the hearta of thous-
andfl of the American small hoy, are
picturesquely shown In the course of
the play. The sleuth, famed from one
end of the country to the other. Is the
center of the plot, and It Is by him
that many a tangled and mysterious
ravel Is unwound.

BEESON LOST GOODS
IN GAMBLING SCHEME
Commitment Trial Waa Had Yeatcr-
day, But Has Not Been Concluded.
Stamp Concern Looking Over Their
Accounts.
The commitment trlnl of E. E. Bee
son, the nianuger of the* Green Trad
ing Stump Company’s store in Macon,
was had yesterday morning before Re
corder Nottingham In police court. The
hearing of evidence as furnished by
Detective Jenkins In the case was all
In at the close of the case nnd Attorney
M. Felton Hatcher for the defendant,
made nn effort to secure the release of
the prisoner. He claimed that the
goods misappropriated had been all
replaced and stated that ns the com
pany was not prosecuting the manager
It would be fair to have him released.
Judge Nottingham continued the
case until this morning when he will
hoar the attorney on this point Other
developments will likely occur before
the opening of the case this morning
and they may determine tho final dis
position of Heeson.
At yesterday's trial It was shown In
open court that Beeson lost the goods
amounting to about $250 In vnlue,
chiefly silverware, through a gambling
scheme which had been conducted In
the rear of the store. The efficiency
of the detective's work In the case Is
remarkable. When the bogus claim of
burglary was turned In Detective Jen
kins traced tho goods down at once
and found they had been won from
Beeson nnd hauled off In a hack at
midnight.
Witnesses were In court yesterday
for the purpose of showing up the
truth of the above statement, but Bee
son owned the affair after close ques
tions had been put.
Well known gamblers, some of them
known on former occasions to the po
lice. were concerned in the cose. They
bad found their snap In Beeson and
were pulling him. It Is said Beeson
had thought he would be able to re
place the goods before any trouble
arose, but he still played with the
gamblers and lost.
An auditor for the stamp concern Is
In the city looking over the accounts.
He may be able by this morning to
state Just what the action of tho com
pany in the matter will be.
STRIKE LEADERS
(Continued from page 1.)'
Blue Coats in Control.
CHICAGO, July 29.—Following tho
arrest of George Golden, chief of the
packing Teamsters' Union, for picket
ing. riots became more frequent In tho
vicinity of the stock yards this after
noon. In the disturbance a mob cap
tured a loaded meat wngon after It
had left the stock yards, upset the
wagon and threw the meat Into the
street. The most serious riot of the
day occurred In south Chicago, where
live men were nrrested for trying to
prevent the delivery of meat. Al
though the strikers and their friends
became very boisterous when It: be
came known that Golden had been
arrested and made all aorta of threats,
no one waa aerloualy Injured In any
of the many disturbance* that occur
red. The police have the situation so
well in hand that before the would-be
rioters can get fairly started in their
purpose they are scattered by the
blue coats In all directions. More bus
iness was done today by the packers
than st any time since the strike be
gan. With today's additions to the
new employes obtained from outside
sources the statement was made to
night by one of the packers that fully
12,000 men are now at work In the
seven plants where the union men are
on strike. This Is nearly half as many
men us went on strike.
EDDIE HANLON BEATEN
One
tho Fiercest Battles Ever
Fought In Frisco.
SAN FRA CISCO, July 29.—In one of
the fiercest battles ever witnessed In
this city "Battling” Nelson of Chicago
tonight defeated Eddie Hanlon of Han
Ft a t .dsco, the end coming In the nln-
teenth round.
From the time of the ringing of sig
nal for the commencement of the fight
the youngsters began mixing matters
In the liveliest mnnner. Hanlon fought
In his usual fashion but the Chicago lad
early penetrated the guard of the Cali
fornian who bore severay facial marks
before, the tenth round, testifying to
the accuracy and force of his opponents
blows. It was almost an even thing
until the fourteenth round with the
boys fighting fiercely.
After the fifteenth the tide of battle
began to move towards Nelson, who
trroughouL although very heavily pun
ished about the face and body, had
manifested his usual powers of endur
ance. The sound of the gong In the
eighteenth saved Hanlon from defeat
at that point, bat In the next round he
came up so badly dosed that Nelson
hn<J him at his mercy and waa battling
him around the ring until the local lad
Ix-cam* so helpless that the spectators
made a protest* against the continu
ance of the now one-sided fight. Hlmul-
taner>u«dy with * signal from the police
<--*ptaln to the referee to stop the con
test, a towel was thrown into the ring

two mule teams to haul our camp
equipment and supplies,” related Mr
Richards. "One afternoon we were
making our way leisurely.along a ridge,
when we suddenly descried on the sum
mit of nnother ridge a huge black line
at least half a mile In length. Those
of u« who hud not been on the plains
before could not make out what tbla
line wan, but wa wore Informed by the
chief of our party thnt It wns a herd
of buffalo. Wn could see plainly
enough that with our heavily loaded
teams we could not get beyond the
line before the herd would he upon us.
Our chief, therefore, promptly called a
halt, gnve orders that tho two wagonii
he brought up close together, one be
hind the other, end directed that the
rnules be unhitched, placed behind tho
wagon on the aide opposlto tbut from
which the buffalo were coming, and
securely fastened to the wheels. Then
one man wns detailed to a mule to keep
It as quiet ns pogalble, while ten of us
were Instrucled to fill our pocket* wftli
cartridges, form a line, go out to meet
the buffalo nnd try to split them, and
keep them divided until they passed

The Hpencer carbines with which wo
wer® armed shot a 60-oallbor bullet
with a charge of pow.ier much too light
for thnt weight of lend and that kind
of game. We went bark some three
hundred yards from the wagons nnd
opened fire. The rear end of the herd
had not yet come up over tho opposite
right, so that we were confronted by
n mass of buffalo half a mile long on
the front and extending nt least that
for hack. The animals werA coming
toward us at what was only u fast
walk until we opened fire, and then
broke Into a gallop. To stop them wns
out of the question, for those In front
were urged forward by those behind.
1 rernll distinctly thnt when I fired
my first shot, the front of the line be
ing about two hundred yards from
us, I thought r had struck n horn, but
when I bud fired several shot and
heard them nil strike I knew I wns
bitting romethlng besides horns. I
thought the nolne might be of benefit at
this time, so, having good lungs. I ex
erted them to the utmost. Joined at
once by the rest of the firing party.
And my theory worked out all right.
"The noise of our guns and our
voices, with what exertion our bullets
wore doing, caused the herd to divide
and pass to each side of us. But we
soon found ourselves In a precarious
situation. -When the herd first split,
the buffalo could see as well as hear
us, nnd they veered off either wuy,
but those that were following created
such a noise themselves and raised
such a cloud of dust that they could
hardly see or hear us, and soon began
to crowd In on us In a way that was
exceedingly disquieting. The animals
were being forced backward and In
upon each other to such an extent that
It became doubtful whether we were
going to succeed In our effort. If we
should fall It meant that we would
be trampled under foot and the entire
party, os well os the ouflt, wiped off
the face of the earth* We had bc-n
forced Into a solid line and were split
ting the herd, because we would r.ot be
doubled up or give way to either side
we had been going buck foot by foot
had few cartridges left, and It wns
becoming evident that we could not
hold out mueh longer, when our barks
came In contact with the wagon, nnd
