: ..f D..i: r .
A similiar charge was mads against
him some time agQ and by taking an
0ath not to drink any intoxicants for
a p;riod of twelve months, Mayor
Bangert suspended judgement on the
payment of cost.
Thursday night between seven and
eight o'clock, Hamilton went to the
home of Cleveland Scott, under the
influence of whhkey and called for
Scott. Mrs. Scott told him that her
husband was not home, but Hamilton
contended that he was, and ucd some
very bad language, also tiling Mrs.
Scott that, he would kill her. He
struck at Mrs. Scott, but seeing his
purpose she succeeded in escaping
from him.
Mrs. Scott asked that the fine be
reduced, as the young man had bsm
sick for the', last three weeks and Jwas
unable to work. Her wish was com
plied with and the cost reduced to ten
dollars.
Hamilton being slightly under the
influence of whiskey yesterday after
noon, he was dit lined in the City

ALLY ALIVE WITH THEM
Elizb";t"h City, April 3.- The witcrs
of lower Albem irle and Pamlico counds
are literally alive with shad. This is
the report that was received here today
from these sections
A telegram wij rsceived by the Dan- J
iels line asking that the steamer Guide
locded with fish boxes and ice bs sent
Xo Hatteras, for the fishermen ol that
section have caught jo many fish today
that they could not take ci--e of them.
' Yesterday 1,600 boxes of shad were
received here from piinU down the 1
sound. : They were re-iced Jieri and
shipped to northern m irkots.
.- Monday the- fishermen' of Hnteras
ire. reported as having the greatest
catches of their live J. .One fisherman
named E. Wise, of . the Marshes,
Caught 1,000 out of 150 gill jiets ind
another fisherman at Ma.-shes caught
350 shad out of. one pound.net. ; ,
The' season, has been vei y backward
this year and the prospects have been
very gloomy until 4 few days ago. The
present good catches of shad hive put
new life in tha fishermen and they are'
working night and day to save the
fish. If the pices keep good they, will
maks a lot of money this season des-f-ite

The news first wns announced to the
world when the lmyl ,- in f-ont of '
Ca-ranzi's residence blew the stacat
to notes of victory.
The paean was sounded lice in ad
vance to Toreeon in honor of Chief ,
Carranza.
The nieigre bulletins, excitedly an
nounceing victory afier the bloodiest - t
series of battles know to modern Mexi
co, said that Villa captured a lir(enunM.
ber of p-isionj s and that thj fleeing
Federal remnant was being pursued.
Whether V.'lasco, the Feder il com
mander, w is captured wis not stated.
There was he ivy fighting today it
is understood, ind the end came when
after capturing three remaining bar-
racks held in the city by the Federals.
the rebels stormed the trenches and
barbed wire entanglements of Canyon
DeGuarchre. i
The prisoners captured , are belie
ved to have been the defende-s of the

since the battle b -gan at Tnrreon ha a
day passed without the arrival here of '
a triin load of wounded from the ranks
of Gen. Francisco Villi's irmy. To-
diy's trian brought sonic of the more
seriously wounded and ev.-iy cirpen-te.-

From stories told by the wounded
it was learned that the first rebel ad
vance on Gen. Velaseo's Fede-al gar
rison in Torreon and Gomez Palacio
resulted n; a .-ilaueliter of the .-ebeig
in which about 2,000 were killed or "
wounded. A series of blunders is blam
ed tor the heavy loss. ,
All trustworthy accou.its agree that
the rebel's first attack w is unsucess
ful nd that their combined forces,
although bein N equipped with more
field guns than they had ever previous
ly had been, and fully confident th3t -they
would frighten the" Federals into :
a retreat, w?c fo cod to retire in the
beginning fight.
First the rebels were reported to
have blundered in opening - fire on.
their own men. Two lccounts were
given for this mistake. One was that
a column of reb.il irtillory triined
over their mark and poured 3hells
into tha ranks of Gen. Aguirre Benavi-
des' forces on the opposite side of - Go- '
mez Pelacio. Another tory Wi , that
a troop ot rebels entered Gomez Pi.-
lacio without orders, and the rest of
the army, thinking them Federals, op
ened fire and killed many.
