in perfect ignorance OF his cousins death Be
tween ~ and o'ch?Gk the same night she sud
denly sprang up in bed and began to scream
wildly: Help helpn help" Her parents and
Mrs. Nlthe1spoon at whose house she was
staying while here, rushed to her room,
imagining that another attempt be
ing made to abduct her. 1t was found,
however that no one had been in her room, and
upon being quest toned, she said that she had had
a horrible dream. She dreamed that she saw
her fathers cousin. Sonny" Bond drop dead on
the street. According to the statements of
parties supposed to be conversant with the
event, she did not hear of his death until after
she arrived at Taylorville yesterday.
This story has excited much interest and is
received with expressions of doubt among those
who have maintained that she is gifted with
most vivid imagination, which the founda-
ton of the stories of the attempt to abduct her.
1t is suspected that she heard of her relatives
death before she went to bed that night and this
opinion is being freely expressed by the friends
of Montgomery, Pettus and Clement. Said
Judge Phillips this morning: Il have heard
of cases of this sort, but it is the first time
ever heard that it took seven hours for the
spirit of dead man to travel twenty eight
miles"
A Taylorvlle dispatch says: element will
probably keep away from this part of the coun-
try, but Montgomery, it is understood, has an
nounced his intention of coming home and facing
the music He and Pettus have numerous
friends in the place where they reside, and it is
possible that these friends will defend them with
guns in case a lyncMng party should pay the
place visit All stories afioat are to the effect
that the friends of the men are well armed.
"a member of the police force says that this
afternoon four men rode into the city and moved
around in rather mysterious manner After
taking several drinks they went to store here
and invested some monny in sea grass half
inch rope thirteen feet long. They explained
that they wanted it for halter, and then moved
off to the north. While the story is pretty well
authenticated, up to late hour to night there
has been no movement which pointed TO a lynch

Mr. VIM. Murphy, has made discovery in mail
matters that may be of benefit in all postoffices,
and may, in fact, result in a change of some
does not know o how the discovery was made but
it is considered of so much Importance that he
has ordered that all circulars going through his
office shall be examined. q AS every one knows,
circulars are not sealed, but the folded edge of
the cvelope is showed inside, alongside of the
circulars. The discovery is that many letters
handled loose in the bags with the circulars, get
pushed into the open envelope, and are delivered
to the person to whom the circular is addressed.
It is also a well known fact that not more than
one in hundred circulars is ever looked at, but
they are thrown at once into the waste basket,
and by this means many letters never reach
their destination, and the cause of their loss has
been q perpleXing mystery.
