through Waycross, and here, by fine piece
strategy, the sheriff eluded the crowd and
passed on his way unnoticed. Locking
Brown securely in his cell, the sheriff re-
turned to his home and, worn out with his
ride, was soon asleep.
THE ATTACK OF THE MOB.

Stepping back from the tree the mob leader
gave the word TO fire, and volley of bullets

johnson fired at Wilson with Winchester i,
then dropped the rife and cllnched Wilson
and threw him. Then Wilson shot him in
the left breast, one arm and put three balls
in his neck and throat, either one Of which
would have proved fatal. The world will
probably never know the facts about the

gang Of turpentine negroes.
