THOUGHT IT WAS CRUISE.

Whcn the soutbound Santa Fe pas
senger arrived last night Deputy Mar
shal Jim Chancellor alighted with two
United States prisoners-Joseph Ly-
ons, a white man arrested at Ardmore
yesterday on a telegram from the cher
iff of Harris county, and a negro
named Lushwell Birdwell, being taken
TO Paris on a charge of bigamy and
adultry committed at Ardmore.
As the officer proceeded up Cali
foraia street some street gamin
shouted: "1here's the murderer
lynch him." This was repeated by
Others and soon a crowd began gath
eriDg about the officer and his priso-
mere. By the time the square was
reached it had grown to be a matter
of strength TO push their way through
the enraged mob, which had been
misled.
The Jail was finally reached and
Chancellor called to Jailer Anglin for
admittance, explaining his mission.
, When the door opened and Chancel-
lor attempted to step inside he looked
down d lot of Winchesters and was
told the mob must be dispersed before
he could be allowed to enter, where
upon he reassured the crowd that he
didn't have the man they wanted and
told them 10 look and satisfy them
selves. This had a quieting effect
and the men quietly departed.
Mr.. Chahcellur shortly after to a
News reporter remarked that if he
had shown any uneasinCss there
would have been trouble, but by re-
