told to within a few minutes just
when the curtaiu is going down and
just at the time when a good finale
is on the crowd begins to get ready to
leave and spoils the whole thing.
These kind of people are "public
pests" and should be made to re
main in their seats until the play
is over and not spoil it for some
one who wishes to see it all. Good
manners in a public place should
be the object of those who attend
the theatre, at least in this respect
don't be so impolite and devoid of
good breeding as to get up in front
of the one in front of you and ob
struct his view just because you
are in a bit of a hurry to get out.

Atlanta. Ga.,SeDt 24. -The race
war situation tooight assumed its
gravest appearance when a pitched
battle followed the ambushing by
negroes of a party of policemen in
South Atlanta. County Policemen
James Heard was killed. Police
men Jordan and Kukanks were
dangerously wounded and two
officers were injured.
Troops were hurried to the scene,
a distance of two miles from the
center of the city, special cars be
ing used to reach the tiouble.
Negroes retreated when the soldier3
appeared in force and are now sur
rounded in the swamps. A heavy
killing of blacks is very possible.
Four of the negroes were captnr.
ed, and under a heavy guard of
soldiers, were safely lodged in the
city jail.
The attack upon the officers
which resulted in Heard's death
and the wounding of other police
men was, according to the most
reliable reports, of the most atroc
ious character. It occurred in the
south side negro settlement.Twelve
soldiers were oa their way to pro
tect this part of the city from poss
ible bomb violence by the whites.
The ofSrs were in a body, when
from an alley the negroes opened
fire. The attack was entirley un
expected and the casuality occurr.
ed before the policemen had an op
portunity to defend themselves.
The injured officers returned the
fire and believed that they injured
a number of the negroes but owing
to the darkness of the alley in
which the latter were hidden, were
unable to determine definitely what
damage they inflicted. The negroes
greatly outnumbering them, the
policemen retired, leaving the dead
and injured officers in the street.
A crowed of infuriated negroes
drove fourteen white people, most,
ly women and children, from the
home of Mrs,. Anna Veal, on Mc
