CALUMET, Mich, Sept. 15.-At $50
o'clock this morning the passenger train

Calumet, was held up by four highway
mon about half way between Calumet

COLUMBUS, Miss. Sept 15.-Pickens
county, Ala, comes to the front again
with an awful butchering of prisoners
confined in the Jail at Carrollton. Paul
Archer, VIII Archer, Polk Hill, I'd
Guyton and Ellen FAINT, all negroes, the
latter woman, were shot to death on
Thursday night by mob of masked
men.
Some time last week the mill and gin
house OF J. e. Woods was burned.
About week ago the negroes were ar
rested and confined in the Carrollton
jail. The preliminary investigation
was in progress but had not been con-
cluded.
On Thursday night the sheriff was
called on in his room in the Jail build
ings and was told that parties had a
prisoner whom they had arrested and
wanted to turn over to him. The sheriff
came down from his room, and, unlock
ing the jail door, found himself In the
hands of disguised mob, who de-
manded the keys of the cells where the
prisoners were confined.
This request was urged upon the
sheriff by glistening barrels of hum
urea Wlnchesters. After the officer was
overpowered the mob quickly made
their way to the grated cells of the
prisoners, and through the iron bars the
barrels of the Winchesters were placed.
and from every muzzle came a dozen
balls.
In seconds time five human beings
had been cruelty butchered and their
quivering bodies lay in pools OF blood
which ran in streams across the Il oor.
The mob then quickly dispersed after
having committed the cowardly and
brutal deed.
Carrollton is an inland town without
railroad and telegraph and it is impos.
slble to get any information as to the
testimony against the negroes charged
with arson, but It is said that one negro
confined in the Jail had turned States
evidence against the others. The mob
made him leave the jail and also told
him to leave the State. The negro left
and has not been seen since.
This is the second lynching that
Pickens county has furnished in the
last few weeks. Joe Floyd, a negro,
was hung by a mob and his BODY riddled
with bullets few weeks ago for the
murder Of white farmer The country
which has furnished the five victims to
lynch law Is one OF the strongest Popu-
list strongholds in Alabama. and Kalb
carried it over Jones by an immense
majority.

the Anti Local Optionists that the cleo
ton held on Septem Der would be con.
tested the attorney considering that as
there is no provision made by Law to
contest an election of this kind in the
regular way, they would take no action
in the matter at this time.

yesterday that in failing to take steps
toward filing notice of contest they
were not giving up any legal right to

which could be done at any time.
The fight over the result of tho cleo
ton will be- probably made, as was pre-
dicted by TIE TIMES from the first,
over the refusal of the court to grant
license 10 an applicant at some future
time. This may be done soon or it may
not come up until next May.
