Il viii be seen from the above date
that the warrant was not sworn ont
until after Feidt had tried to use his
second club on Monday, Oct. Oath.
They knew then we would not scare,
and concluded that the last means and
only recourse left them to counteract
public opinion was to proceed. They
did and have only benefited our side
Of tho matter as We predicted. THE
WoRLD does not purpose to finch one
particle, and intends to prove every
assertion it has made. Itwas fortified
in this before making its assertions.
We purpose to take the substance Of
theabove warrant by piece meal First,
We would ask when and where did Mr..
Evans get all that good fame, credit,
and repatdtionf Certainly, violating.
the laws Of his own land by aiding
Judge Lynch in mob violence by lynch
ing Negro, did not give il TO him !
Second, what could bring . man into
more contempt and disgrace than such
conduct If it be true, and on the
public's tongue for years, thetpnbli-
cation of it could not make il any
worse. But another matteris involved
that Evans fears will be added to his
record to be lolled on the public tongue,
that might also defame, 0yure, and dis
grace his already good CD reputation.
The above assertions We are prepared
TO prove, together with the Daily mat
tier, and perhaps when through, Mr..
Evans will not blame the general pub
lie for their accusations.

man would draw up with a rope plantans

to seize the rope that hung by his side. but

He was not very big, but he had n large

His sbipmates tried to hold him down, but
he would not quit, and at last they hit on a
plan TO take the fight out of him. Half way
up the block, toward Jackson street, stands
a big horse trough, and to this they dragged
the pocket edition of the great slogger. The
trough was full, and the water not over
clean. but in spite of his struggles the would
be pugilist was plunged into 1t until he was
half-dr3wned.
His captors then set him on his feet, but
he was still full Of fight and showed 1t by
landing his fist on the nose of one Of the
crowd. Then his friends got mad and the
fighter was sent to the bottom OF the trough
and kept there until the arms Of his captors
ached. When more dead than alive the fel-
low was dragged out onto the sidewalk, ne

friends.
