Mob Gone to Lynch Congressman
Moneys Son-Friends of the
Young Murderer Gone
to the Rescue.

GREENWOOD, Misc, Dec. Screen
wood is in fever of excitement tonight
over the receipt of e telegram stating
that mob from Carrolton, Carol
county, is on its way to Woodstock. the
nome OF Congressman James P. Money,
Tor the avowed purpose of lynching his
son, Il. T. Money, who killed Edward e.
ELAN, OF Carrollton, Miss. The news
spread like wildlire, and in few min
utes a posse was organized to 90 to
Woodstock to protect young Money. 1t
is reported that large number of
Moneys friends left Carrollton in pur-
SUIT OF the mob, and if they come to-
one. Woodstock is several miles from
here, and it will be impossible to obtain
any news from there tonight.
George Money. who is "a years old. is
one OF the brightest members of the
Carroliton bar. He took an active part
in the late bitter congressional cam
paign, and incurred the enmity OF
number OF PopulisJ politicians. He
published two or three weeks ago
poem In the Carrollton Observer. in
which the names of several Populists
were mentioned, among them being
r. E. Elan, who replied by card in the
Conservative, December %. He de-
nounced the author of the poem ir caus-
tic and bitter language. Friends of
both parties attempted to adjust the
trouble, but Elam refused to make any
apology, and when the two men met on
the street last Saturday Money opened
ire with shotgun, killing Elan almost
instantly.
Money surrendered to the authorities.
and on Tuesday gave bail in the sum OF
Sl0.O00 and was released. After his re-
lease, Elam's followers swore vengeance
and today organized q mob to carry out
their threats. Moneys friends are de-
termined to protect him with their
lives. and if o collision occurs between
the two forces, the battle will be fierce
and bloody.

tor that matter OF $4,000, and if he does not
consent to fight within year, l shall
let the forfeit go to bind a match with
any man living. 1 fought Peter jack
con to stand-still in eight rounds, and
am sure l have beat more and better
men than Corbet has. I think Corbett
one of the cleverest men l ever saw, but
he can't hit one-tenth as hard as the
man have just beaten. Corbett may

how he can get out of a match"
