and Ozlas McGaha, negroes. who were
this morning sentenced to twenty years
each for rape, in the circuit court at
Lewisburg. were taken from the jail at
Fayetteville tonight by a mob of 800 men
and hanged in the court yard.
The negroes reached Fayetteville from
Lewisburg at o'clock this afternoon in
charge of Sheriff Menefee of Marshall
county and four deputies. The whole
party was locked in the baggage car and
the sheriff was endeavoring to get to the
branch prison at Tracy City with his
prisoners.
When the train came to a stop at Fay
etteville. mob of 300 men, acting on a
message from parties at Lewisburg de-
manded the prisoners. Sheriff Menefee
refused, and then the crowd threatened
TO put dynamite under the car. The sher-
IN would not bulge, however. When the
engineer started TO couple up the train
for the purpose of pulling out, a stalwart
fellow drew bead on him with a double
barrelled shotgun.
Then Col. ]. II. Holman and W. y.
Lamb addressed the mob and urged them
to let the train and its cargo proceed. The
leaders declined. but after considerable
parley agreed to let the train 20 Il The ear

The court room was crowded with men,
not a few having winchester rifles.
The mob would have gotten the negroes
there, but knew that Sheriff Menefee and
his deputies were determined to prevent
such action. As soon as the prisoners
left the leaders began sending messages
to friends at Fayetteville to stop the
train and hold the negroes until hey

with attempted assault upon a Miss Stew

HIGH links CUT BY HARRELL
THE SHERIFF OF PULASKI COUNTY
PUT UNDER ARREST.

The Marshal Treats Him as Pri-
waite Individual i'm Bail in TrOv-
err Case in which the Sheriff Was
Merely in Possession of the Goods
in His OficiaI Capacity-The Sher-
III Finally Released.
Hawkinsville, Ca, Nov 29-The town
was thrown into excitement yesterday
morning when it was discovered that
United States Marshal Harrell had ar
rested w. G. Hunt, sheriff of Pulaski
county, the night before. The people here
are indignant at what is deemed a most
outrageous proceeding.
The matter grows out of the failure of
Sommer Bros The stock of goods was in
the custody of Sheriff Hunt, under levy of
mortgage fl fas. Col. Harrell came down
from Macon yesterday with a bail ana
trover process against Sheriff Hunt indi-
vidually, not as sheriff of Pulaski coun-
ty, by virtue of which office he was in
control of the stock of goods. Mr.. Hunt
refused to give bond for the goods, ana
the marshal put him under arrest and
said that he was going to take Sheriff
Hunt under arrest to Macon. About 1
o'clock to-day Col. Harrell Informed Mr.
Hunt that he would not take him to Ma
con, but would release him, but that he
(the marshall must have the goods that
one J. H. Monheimer had sworn were
in the custody and control of w. G. Hunt
and were the property of the II. b. Clafiin
Company.
The process is against Sheriff Hunt in
dividually and he refused 10 turn over
the goods, claiming that he held them as
sheriff of Pulaski county and the goods
were IN the custody Of the superior court
of Pulaski county, and that as an indiyit-
ual he did not control them.
After a written statement by Sheriff
Hunt to the marshal as above the goods
were siezed by Col. Harrell over the pro-
test of the sheriff. While the above was
going on Pulaski superior court was in
session, and being without a deputy.
Sheriff Hunt, in view of the statement Of
the marshal that he would take him to
Macon, sent for the coroner to take mis-
place.
The process was merely an ordinary
bail and trover process and the arrest
was made in the absence of any special
order from any court. The stock of goods
of Sommer Bros. was sold to-day except
that portion levied on by Col. Harren.
