SAM JOHNSON,
The Would Be Rapist, in Pet
tbs County Jail.
A Mob After Him at Boonville,
Yesterday.

One week ago yesterdty July 81, Cooper
county was thrown INTO a fever OF excite
meut by the rumor that a white man
named Ssm Johnson, had attempted
AN INFAMOUS CRIME
upon the person of poor but respectable
lady, Mas. Morris, Who resided with her
husband In the vicinity OF Guyer's for =.
The assault made upon Mrs. Morris, is
told as fol Ows in the BOonville Topic L:
"As We Learned IL, JohL son called at Mrs
Morris and asked for a drink of wa'er,
after which he made his indecent proposal.
Mrs. Morris ordered him off and he refused
to 20, bu, tried TO rry his henious intent
into execu' ion. Mrs. Morris seized IN axe
and Offended herself until her screams az
tracted the attention of the gentlemen
above referret to, who we're passing by.
They at once ran TO her rescue u find that
the 6end had escaped; they however,
stared in pursuit, and were told by a ne
gro that a man was hiding In the corn
near by. They soon had him and took
him back to Mrs. Morris, who identified
him. Mr.. Morris was no, at home"
MOB VIOLENCE THREATENED.
On Saturday night last the town of Boon
Vile was wild with excitement, and threats
were made that the crime committed upon
Mrs. Morris must be avenged, and that
Sam johnson must meet with summary
punishment for his henious offence.
The sheriff was not 10 be taken that way,
and placing johnson in the hands of trust
ed deputies, Collins and Bowman, they
went across the Missouri river and placed
the prisoner safe behind the bars at Fay
cite
That night about seventy-fve men took
the owl train for Fayette. When they ar
rived there they made an attack on the
Jail but were told that the pri-oner wss not
there and were persuaded out of any fur
Their demonstrations of viol, nee and re-
turned home at q. 10. Sunday.
MRS. MORRIS REPORTED DEAD.
1t was reported yesterday in Cooper
county that Mrs. Morris had died. At the
time of the assault Mrs. Morris was eneiente
and since then she has given premature
birth to a child. The shock proved too
much and she gave up her life, the victim
of as vicious an assault as was ever made
by one bearing the human form.
Yesterday johnson was taken to Boon
vile for preliminary examination and was
remanded to the custody of the sheriff.
The people in the eastern part of the
county, who are'most incensed at the in-
famous crime of the prisoner, had not
learned OF the preliminary examination,
consequently We're not on hand.
AS soon as the preliminary examination
of Johnson was over, he was put in bug
gy and sent to Prairie Lick, the first station
out of Boonville towards Seda!ia, where
he was met by Deputy Collins, who brought
hin to this city and lodged him in the
Pettis county jsil, where he now is and will
remsin until trial.
Il is freely admitted by people from
Cooper that he will never live to meet his
trial in the circuit court of that county.
Whether that means that a mob will come
TO Sedslia or that the mob will take him
when he goes TO BOorville for trial, the
BAzoo will let its readers draw their own
deductions.

Mrs. Jolly was helped off :he stag by

Patti-Hsd to be wound up and oiled
two or three times before she you'd sing,
and then stopped in the middle of the song
and had to be set back. She had gotten
some sand In her singing apparatus In

next figure was brought out she commenc-
ed to sing and nothing could stop her till
she run down.

Some OF the best manufactured at D. B. Meginnss Jr's


We were shown yesterday handsome and
very accurate pen sketch Of Tallahassee, gotten
up by Messrs. Norris, Wellge s. Swift, of Brock
ton Mass publishers of panoramic views.
1t IS taken from point south of the city and
shows all the streets, dwelling houses public
buildings, hotels, business houses, and every OBJ
ject OF interest in the city
1t seems as though no sketch could possibly be
made to embrace more thoroughly the real posi-
tons of these different localities The eleva-
tons OF the streets and other points are faithfully
drawn, and no one acquainted with the city
would fail to recognize it in this sketch. We
are happy TO say that if $50 copies are subscribed
tor the sketch will be Autographed on plate pa
paper, size 20X28, for the reasonable sum of $3
per copy.
A copy ought TO adorn the home of every cit
lzen in town, and we have no doubt the people
will take pride in helping TO make the object sue
cessful. The view will be of great value as
a future reference and of inestimable interest to
our children in after years, having as it does, all
the memories OF childhood associated with it.
MIR. Norris will present the view to the citi--
zens Tor their approval and support, for it is
home picture, and must depend entirely upon
home patronage to ensure publication
Some twenty five cities and towns in Florida
have supported the enterprise, recognizing that its
value as means of attracting tourists and set
tiers cannot be over estimated Of course the
capital of the State should have place in the
list of illustrated Cities and comparing the sketch
with those of others we remark that Tallahas-
see makes the best picture in the lot.
Remember that the Autograph when finished
will be mnch clearer than the sketch, and the
imperfections arising from free hand drawing
will entirely disappear

Death of am Old Citizen.

Mrs. Marie Antoinette De Corcie, was born
January 18th, 1916. in France, and moved with
her family to Florida in 1882, and settled five
miles east of Tallahassee. A few years after
coming to Florida she was married to Count
John B. De Corce, with whom she lived happily
until 1859, when she lost her husband, since
which time she has lived a very retired life.
She was a devoted wife, industrious and frugal,
a good neighbor and consistent christian. She
was a member of the Catholic church for many
years and strictly adhered to the doctrines of
that denomination. She has for the past few
years been in very infirm health; in fact great
sufferer, but has borne it all with christian forti
tude.
On the 18th instant about 1 o'clock, after
preparing her usual meal, she was stricken with
paralysis and in a few hours died She leaves
many relatives and friends TO mourn her loss.
