United States Marshal James Mlllikan, his two deputy marshals, J. M. Baley and Joe Mlllikan, and Deputy Collector Hendrix were arrested here today by a township constable on a magistrate's warrant charging them with forcible trespass on the premises of Bud Hil ton, two miles in the country.; No bod was required, the officers giving their reeognixance to appear before the magistrate for trial at White Oak Tuesday next. Hilton alleges that a large force of officers went to his home one night recently and without process or warrant entered and searched it .on pretext of looking for illicit whiskey. The Officers stated that on reports that HU ton was blockading, they sur rounded his house one night to watch what was going on, and one of them making a noise. It attracted Hilton to his door and upon recognizing several of the party as friends, he invited them la the house, and when they told him their business he obligingly told them ta search all the desired, him self lighting a lantern to help them ex amine the outside premises. No whis key was found, but a still, which had evidently not been in use in a long time, was found hidden In the yard: almost hidden by a. fang growth of grass. The complainant Is a brother of Dr. Hllto, a practicing physician of ,Greenetooro. The clash of criminal law between a constable and the United States high sheriff creates as much local, as has the civil clash between the State and United States in the railroad " cases created general interest and specula tkm. !

HANNIS TAYLOR COMING He Will be the Main Speaker at the 31eeting of State Historical Asso ciation in Raleigh in October Mr. Clarence H. Poe, Secretary- Treasurer of the State Literary and Historical Association, announces that the Executive Committee has had the good fortune to secure Hon. Hannis Taylor. ex-Mlnister to Spain, and poe sibly the most distinguished son of North Carolina in the world of law and letters, as the main speaker at the comirt meeting of the Association to be held in Raleigh, October 15th. j. "We count this a rare piece of good fortune," Mr. Poe said in making the announcement, "and the entire State of North Carolina, I am sure, will wel come the opportunity to do honor to a son whom two continents have hon ored. So eminent an authority as the North American Review says of Han ni9 Taylor in its current Issue, that he Is "recognized throughout the coun try as one of the most eminent living authorities on constitutional history and constitutional law" and refers to the fact that the universities of Dub lin and Edinburgh simultaneously conferred on him the degree of D-D. D, His work on the "Origin and Growth of s the English Constitution" has won him almost as much fame in Europe as in America, and as Minister to Spain during Cleveland's last admin istration he distinguished himself as i diplomat. Before our Society he will handle an historical subject in which the whole country is vitally interested. and the address will undoubtedly at tract attention in other. sections as well as in North Carolina." Hon. Hannis Taylor was born in New Bern, in 1851. and was edu cated at the University of North Car Una. He has always taken a deep in terest in his native State and made a pleasing address to the North Caro Una Press Association at its meeting in wasnington jity a lew years ago In his letter to Mr. Poe he says: "1 yiavB never been to Raleigh since my two years there at the old Love joy school. I shall be glad to see the city once more. The coming of Mr. Taylor Is but the beginning of the definite plan of me j-dterary ana Historical Associa tion to get a speaker of national ren uratlon for each annual meetlne. For some ume it was tnouarht that Am. Daasaaor Bryce would speak this Ume. and it le not unlikely that Thomas Nelson Page will be the leading speak er next year. BOY BURNED TO DEATH.
