Jersey Lusk, Monroe Carter and
Vical Clark went to the house Of
Dan Crum, Of Amite county, week
or two ago, and taking torcible pos
session, drove the family off the
place and burned the house to ashes.

"The men had nothing against Mr..
Crum, but were under the influence
Of whisky and wanted to commit
mischief F. They have all been cap
tUred and will probably have the
full penalty Of the law meted out to
them, which means death, but the

the liquor sold and the man who
sold it will 60 unpunished. The case
also illustrates that whisky doesn't t
let everybody alone who lets it alone,
