Jones, and in favor of Commissioner Kolb, in the Gubernatorial issue, why does it not come out flat footed and say so?............... HOW IT HARMS US – [Birmingham News] It is hardly probable that absurd and sensational stories sent abroad in letters and by telegraph and leading the world to believe that we are waging war against organized banditti in Alabama will do the city or the state any essential service. When the newspapers a few years ago were full of such recitals affecting the condition of society, and security of life and property in Greece and Italy the migratory world stood aloof and even most adventurous travelers gave a wide berth to regions penetrated by the Carpathians and Apennine Mountains, Poets and novelists seize upon stories told of the daring deeds and hair-breadth scrapes of the Rube BURROW ilk, and youthful fancies will be trained to dream of Alabama as the scene of most woeful events in the social history of the South. Even now thoughtless nurses of Birmingham silence to repose bawling innocence by appealing to terrors of bloodhounds and BURROW. Perhaps it is well that the terrific war that was waged only in the newspapers has come to an end that padded dispatches no longer swell into emotional grandeur illuminated by the Aladdin’s lamp of the “Silent Eye” after press, and that there may be strongest assurances of returning gratitude we suggest that Governor Seay issue his Proclamation advertising the good women and babies of the country that blessed white winged peace dearer and sweeter than the “Star-eyed Goddess of Reform” has returned to Alabama. TWO MORE STARS – Twin State for the First Time in History Washington – Nov. 2 – The following dispatch was sent from the executive mansion at 4 o’clock this afternoon by Secretary Blaine to Governors Mellette and Miller of North and South Dakota, at Bismark, North Dakota. “The last act in the admission of the two Dakotas as states in the Union was completed this afternoon at the executive mansion, at 3:40 o’clock by the President signing at that moment the proclamation required by law for the admission of the states. The article on prohibition submitted separately in each state was adopted in both. The article providing for a minority representation in South Dakota was rejected by the people. This is the first instance in the history of the national government of twin states. North and South Dakota entered the Union at the same moment. James G. Blaine DEAD SURE IT’S RUBE – Detective Robbins Returns and tells Why He Thinks So Detective Robbins returned yesterday from his little private excursion in chase of the Blount county desperadoes. “Have you gave it up?” asked a reporter. “Not by a blank sight,” answered Mr. Robbins. “I came back on business, and will return very soon. You will be informed of the precise hour, in case you want to join in the chase. It is to be a still hunt and a good hunt.” As this field has been preempted by Mr. H. BANTHORNE GRAY, the Pinkerton of the Age Herald, the reporter of the News very thankfully declined any invitation to participate in this little frolic. “Do you think it is Rube BURROW?” “Most undoubtedly” replied Mr. Robbins. “I am satisfied now that it is the notorious outlaw, and his companion is Wilburn, who has been known under the name of Stringer. They are now in a section of the country which they know very well and where they are well known BURROWS’ former name was CHARLES MSITH, and seven years ago he was shot and arrested by Dr. Dozier and Mr. Griffin, for stealing two horses in Georgia. He was tried, convicted and sentenced to the Georgia penitentiary, from which he escaped and made his way back to Lamar County.” “Where are the outlaws now?” “They are ensconced in a very wild section of Etowah County, near Keener, a station on the Alabama Great southern railroad, about sixty miles from this city. Of our future movements I do not like to say much now, but I do not think it will be very long before they are taken, dead or alive.” There is now a reward of $8,400 for the capture of the outlaws, and this may prove an incentive for other persons to take the field and endeavor to bag such valuable game. Detectives from the upper country are also coming down, and there will be a cordon of them very soon around Etowah County – [Birmingham News] BIG DEAL AT CHATTANOOGA – Chattanooga, Oct. 31 HATFIELD – MCCOY – A Desperate Fight in the Dark Chicago, Nov. 2 – A dispatch from Milton, W. Va. says reports of another battle between the Hatfields and McCoys have reached here. Friday night a party of about thirty of the McCoys came across the Blumfield camp ion the woods about six miles from Green Shoals. Both bands were bound for the headquarters of their respective factions, and were heavily armed. When the McCoys discovered their enemies they sent out scouts and discovered there were about a scare in the camp. They crawled up through the dense underbrush and poured a Volley on their sleeping foes. In an instant it was returned and the Hatfields’ although taken by surprise, were so much better armed than the McCoy’s, having repeating rifles that they soon put them to flight. The one volley fired by the McCoys did terrible execution. Half a dozen men were wounded and two were slain. John Blumfield, one of the leaders of his faction, was instantly filled. By his side lay Edwin Brown, son of the woman who was shot in her farm house at Tudgy’s Creek. Two bullets had gone through his body, one piercing his heart. Six other men were wounded, one of them, whose name is unknown, being fatally hurt. After dawn the Hatfield’s found two more dead men, adn four desperately wounded men were captured. Some of the wounded McCoy’s must have been carried off by their friends, for the trail of their retreat through the woods was marked by blood stains. The prisoners captured are Charles Lamkin, John Cain, and Peter McCoy. The names of the dead are unknown. Cain, whose first name was not known was so badly wounded that his comrades left him to die where he lay, but the other three were compelled to march to Hatfield headquarters, which they reached about noon yesterday. As soon as the story of the attack and capture was told, a sort of court marshal was held. The prisoners were not allowed to speak in their own behalf and after a short deliberation a vote on their life or death was taken by the entire Hatfield party. The result was unanimous, and the three men will be tied to trees, and that today. Nothing can save them unless the McCoy’s can defeat the entire Hatfield party and effect their rescue. This is not likely, as they are outnumbered two to one, and the Hatfields’ are better armed. The courier who brought this news was shot at twice from ambush while riding through Lincoln County. A SHERIFF KILLED – While Taking Indians to the Penitentiary They Shot the Guard Florence, Ariz., Nov. 2 – Sheriff Reynolds,, W. A. Holmes, and Eugene Middleton, while taking eight Apache Indians and Mexicans to the Yuma Penitentiary this morning, were killed by the prisoners four miles from Riverside. It happened about 5 o’clock and before daylight. The prisoners were being walked u a heavy sand wash, and one of them grabbed a pistol from Holmes and shot the whites. After the men were killed the Indians took their arms and started South. The Mexican was captured alter. Eugene Middleton, owner of the stage line, was driving at the time. He was shot in the side of the face, the ball coming out near the top of the head. Another shot took effect in his cheek. He walked back to Riverside to give the alarm. At last account he was nearly dead. A posse has gone to Florence in pursuit to the fugitives. SHOCK OF EARTHQUAKE–Houses Trembled, a Large Report was Heard, But no Damage Reported – St. Louis, Nov. 2 – A shock of earthquake was felt in the city about 2 o’clock this am.

Late Friday evening BURROWS and one member of his gag, supposed to have been BEN THORTON, were surrounded near Brooksville, Blount County, Ala., by Sheriff Morris and a posse of forty men. the outlaws opened fire, and at the first volley Deputy Sheriffs ANDERSON and PENN WOODWARD fell dead, the former shot through the head and the latter through the breast. The officers returned the fire, and over one hundred shots were exchanged. The posse were armed only with shotguns and pistols, and as they were two hundred yards from the outlaws, they were at great disadvantage, as the latter were armed with repeating rifles of large caliber. JAMES HERRON, of the posse, was dangerously wounded and five others, whose names could not be learned, received slight wounds. The outlaws fired only at one point in the surrounding line, and cutting a gap in it they made a dash for liberty and escaped, no pursuit being made by the posse, who remained to care for their dead and wounded.
