RALEIGH, Oct. II News has reached
here of q terrible crime in Wilkes county.
Shsrman Greer and his two crippled
brothers lived with the Rev. William
Greer, their father, an aged preacher.
Sherman and friend went home drunk
and began shooting. His father ordered
him to leave the house. He swore he
would not leave, and as his father ap-
preached shot him, the bullet passing
near the heart. Sherman's friend, young
rough named Francis Watson, caught the
old man and Sherman again fired, the
bullet this time ranging through his
stomach and lodging against the spine.
Battle with q Pursuing Force.
Sherman and Watson left, the former
saying to his crippled brothers that he
was going after cartridges, and as soon as
kill them. He also told them he had
killed ''the preacher" as he termed his
father. The crippled lads gave the alarm
and pursuit was made. The despera.
does took the horse of a man named
Church and defied the posse Many shots
were fired and Fayette Walsh, one o: the
posse, was dangerously wounded in the
thigh.
Lively Chase and Final Captured.
Sherman and Watson escaped. Church
organized a posse and pursued them
through Wataugua county into Tennessee.
AT one point there was battle, during
which forty shots were exchanged The
Tennessee authorities pu<ued the fugi-
tives, and they returned to Wataugua,
their intention being to escape into Ten
nessee, but within two miles of the line a
posse captured them. They are in jail at
Wilkesbury. The feeling against them is
very bitter.

oDonohoe, II. H. Brandies, Ed Fitzger-
aid, Ed Neushoeffer, Patrick O'Herne, and
John Fritz were in the city lookup to an-

The Mob Loose Once More.
. As soon as it became known that they
were under arrest a crowd gathered at the
city Lookup and demanded the release of
the prisoners. Instead of complying with
the request Chief Seavey loaded the seven
men into patrol wagon and rushed them
up to the county Jail. The crowd followed,
and by 1:30 p. m. the Jail was surrounded
and word was sent to County Attorney
Mahoney that unless the men were re-
leased on bail they would be taken from
the Jail by force. Mahoney replied that
under no circumstances would the men
be released.
Began an Assault on the Jail.
The crowd at once made preparations
for storming the Jail. There were fully
5000 people in the mob. The mob secured
a big steel rail and marched to the east
door. They had just started to use it as a
battering ram when committee of citi-
zens appeared at the Jail door and made
proposition to the crowd to have COM
mittee appointed to go through the Jail
aud ascertain il the men wanted were in
side. This suited the crowd, and when
the committee reported that five of the
men had been released and the other two
had been taken out of town for safe keep
ing the mob dispersed.

WASN'T READY FOR THE LYNcHERs
The Sheriff Had Heard the Wild Talk,
but Didn't Believe 1t.

The city and county officials seem to be
utterly pSralyZed over the results of Fri
day nights work and the Developments
Saturday night. Sheriff Boyd is very
downcast, ard in speaking of the begin
ming of the trouble said that he had heard
wild rumors that mob intended to raid
the Jail, but regarded them as canards.
He had taken precautions and had or
dered the man placed in the strongest
cell Had he expected an attack he would
have sworn in fifty deputies and had
| them on duty. When the mob made its
appearance he addres ed them from the
Jail window and requested them tn quiet

just Walked Away with Him.
lie then left the window and started for
the front door of the Jail. with the inten-
tion of rallying his deputies and guards
to repel the mob. Just as soon as he
opened the door he was seized By the arms
and legs, overpowered, and hustled to the
high school grounds, where he was kept
until the man had been hanged. His
capture and detention were complete, AS,
after reaching the quiet of the high school
grounds, the men placed him upon his
back and sat upon his arms and legs
The sheriff pleaded for his liberty. but
was told to keep quiet at the peril of his
life.
TrampIed and Dragged to Death.
Jailer Horrigan, in speaking of the case,
said that Coe Ctbe name of the man
lynched, instead of Smith, as enormously
stated in these dispatches) was alive when
pulled through the window and into the
open air. but before he was ten feet from
the Jail he was dead. Every spark OF life had
left his carcass, as he was trampled upon
by hundreds OF men, while Others at the
end OF the rope pulled the body almost
limb from limb. When asked why he did
not telephone for assistance Horrigan re-
piled that be had no intimation of the
coming of the mob until the court yard
was filled with people. He then turned in
police alarm and also attempted to call
up the police station by telephone, but all
the wires had been cut.
All Except Two on Bail.
LATER.-It has been discovered that all
the prisoners have been released on bail
except two-Neushoeffer and Fitzgerald
who, being strangers, could not find
bondsmen. The people who had taken
part in the first lynching set out imme-
diately to release these two, but visit to
the Jail was fruitless, the men not being
there: They had been removed from the
Jail and the majority of the mob dispersed
satisfied, but few anxious spirits.set out
to locate the men. Ii was at first believed
they were in the South Omaha Jail, but
courier who visited that quarter returned
and reported this erroneous.
Uncle ans Men Were Ready.
Then tie information was given that
they were in the guard house at Fort
OMAHA, four miles out of town. The
fragments of the mob gathered and
marched out there, but the soldiery was
too much for it aud no attack was made.

The Rather Uncomplimentnry Opinion oil
the Traffic Managers.
CHICAGO. Jan. 1.-THE traffic managers
of tho western roads have proved unequal
to the task of establishing the territorial
divisions of the Western Traffic association.
They were in session for three hours this
morning and got nc further than an in
formal discussion of the subject. The rea-
son yesterday for not accomplishing the
work was that the Great Northern road was
not represented. To-day President Hill
and Traffic Manager Shelby were both in
attendance, and yet it was found 5A4possi-
BILE to make any material progress. Every
effort to reach an agreement on the mater
ial points of territorial boundary lines was
met with objections. The upshot of the
whole discussion was that the matter was
referred to the commissioners OF the csso-
citation. The traffic managers then adj
journed their meeting in disgust. They
are all practical railroad mon who have
worked themselves up to their positions by
actual experience in the business. and not a
few were frank enough to express the opin-
ion that the presidents and financial back
ers of the roads were visionary theorists
whose ideas should not be carried into ef-
feet.
