SHERIFF OUTWITS MOB.
A NEGRO SPIRITED AWAY TO
AVOID A LYNCHING.
Charged With the Blacklist of Crimes
CPOn Mrs. j. H. Hasty, an In
valid Lady.

valid Lady
Considerable excitement prevailed
in the city Wednesday morning when
it became known that negro, Bird
Jacobs by name, was placed in
jail the night before on the charge of
having outraged Mrs. j. II. Hasty a
few miles below the city.
Jacobs was brought to town about
ten o'clock Tuesday night by the hus-
band of Mrs. Hasty and Messrs. j. T.
Willis and Wesley Chambless and de-
livered to Jailer Slade.
Wednesday afternoon, as a matter of
precaution, Sheriff Christie sent Byrd
to the Muscogee county Jail for safe
keeping, and later developments proved
that he acted none too soon. Had he
remained in Jail here twenty-four
hours longer he would have been sum
marily dealt with. Relatives of Mrs.
Hasty from two adjoining counties
were in the city Thursday, and it is
now an open secret that had the negro
not been spirited away to Columbus
his crime would have been avenged
that night by crowd of determined
men. Winchester rifles were seen
during the day in possession Of several
men, and there were other evidences
Jnat Judge Lynch was preparing to
hold court.
THE CRIME.
The crime is said to have been COM
mitted several days before the arrest
of Jacobs. When Mrs. Hasty, who is
an invalid and subject to spells of hys-
terra, first told of the horrible deed of
which she had been the victim it was
thought that her terrible story was an
hallucinatIon, but her insistence upon
its reality and the suspicious move
ments Of the negro finally led to his
arrest.
The hellish crime, according to Mrs.
Hasty's statement, was committed one
night about dark while she and her
small children were at home alone, Mr..
HasJy having gone to neighbours
home TO set up with the sick. She went
out doors to lock the smokehouse door,
when the brute, who was hid behind
the corner Of that building, overpow W.
cred her'and accomplished his base
purpose, telling her that If she made an
cutlery or told of the crime she would
be killed.
The husband of Mrs Hasty was shot
by p. I. Smith several weeks ago, and
the negro, in denying his guilt, says
that he is charged with the crime be
cause he would not shoot Smith for
Hasty.
The crime charged is the BLACKLIST of
all crimes, and swift justice should be
melted to every brute who is guilty of
il.

NEGRO SOLDIERS RIOT IN MACON
They Tear Up Tree on Which Negro
Was Hanged Years Ago.

Was Hanged Years Ago.
MACON, GA, Nov. 19.-Some one
pointed today to negro soldiers per.
simmon tree on which negro rapist
was hanged nine years ago, and this ex-
cited the negroes to such a state that
they fired thousand shots into the tree
and then cut it down, chopping 1t into
kindling WOOD.
At this stage of the proceedings Mr..
Dave Riley, the owner of the land on
the negroes started at him yelling
"Burn himn' but Mr.. Riley was in a
buggy and got away.
The negroes then went to Crump's
park, a suburban resort, for the purpose
of destroying it. Henry Berkner, the
watchman, attempted to drive ii em
away, and was assaulted and his D s.
rol taken away from him.
Tonight negro sentinel shot and IA
tally wounded another negro.

however, and large detachment of pro-
vOSt guards under command of Captain

FEELING IN MADRID.
There Is still "a Lingering Hope That
Peace May BE Pulled on.

New York, April ia dispatch to
the Herald from Madrid says: All eyes
are directed TOWARD the United States.
1t is felt that the Cuban question has
entered it's last stage and that the
a n for a peaceful solution Is a very
slender one. One of the ministers said:
I'VE are particularly gratified by the
way Spain is spoken of by several sem
ators. We regard it as an indication
that opinion in the United States IL not
quite undivided. n we feel that IL the
counsels of the moderate-minded could
only prevail. peace might be main
tanned. even yet"
This reflection may be fully taken to
mean that the essential points of diff
ference between the two governments
are capable of a satisfactory adjust
ment IL the counsels Of President Nc
Kinley are followed and that all Ameri-
cans could justifiably demand would
certainly be accorded. The mere fact
that negotiations would necessarily be
broker of after the decision OF con-
eress admits Americas right to inter-
vene.
This being conceded. clears the
ground immensely. and with the chance
of peace as an inducement. this gov
eminent would spare no efforts to re-
move the grievances of the United
States. There really is no bellicose
feeling here in administration circles.
Neither is the feeling a sudden one i'm
bowling TO the inevitable. II seems
however. to be felt that wal is being
forced on this country and that it could
not be avoided. no matter what sacri-
fees were made.
Every n appears to realize that
SPANS actual hold on Cuba IL lost,
but at the same time the people are
united in a determination to cling to
the sentimental bon hat still exists
between n mother country and the
island of Cuba. No one really hopes to
out, but all are determined to make the
victory of America a dearly purchased
one.

A KNOCKOUT BLOW.
Young Pnttee's Cheek Bone Is Fractured
While Boxing.

Great Falls, April ia peculiar ac-
cident occurred yesterday evening, n

hard blow i'm the face with his head.
Pattee fell to the floor unconscious, n
when physicians were summoned it
was found that the cheek zone had been
fractured in two places and the eye
was forced outward. The nerves OF
one side of his face were also Temporal
rily paralyzed. The boy was taken at
opce to the hospital, where the sur
o worked upon him for several
hours. TIL cheek bone has been re-
placed, and it is now thought that the
boy will come out all right, although 1t
