In HANDS OF A MOB.
Three Negroes Taken from Jail, and
Will Probably Be Lynched.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, June lion Tues
day night seven miles north of Wetumpka
William Garden and his wife, an old couple,
and William Garlic, also an old man, were
murdered and their house burned to con-
ceal the crime Garden boarded his money
and the party was murdered to secure it.
Yesterday Sol Jackson Louis Speier and an
other negro were arrested for the crime.
Fate this afternoon crowd of five hun
dred men from the neighborhood of the
crime gathered at Wetumpka to mob the
prisoners. Since they have been in Jail two
of the murderers, Jackson and Speier, con-
fessed and told where they buried the
money-$1,20O The mob broke into the Jail
about o'clock but was unable to get into
the inner cage, where the prisoners were.
The sheriff telegraphed the Governor for
troops, and at o'clock tonight about
ninety of the former members of the mill
tary companies here left on a special train.
A few minutes after o'clock word was re-
ceived that the mob succeeded in getting
blacksmith tools, broke open the cage and
secured the prisoners. The intention of the
mob, it is stated, is to take them to the
scene of the crime and there hang them.
The military company will not reach We
tumpka in time to oppose the mob.

Trouble is arising over the taking of sur

their regiments with no assurance that they
will be sent back. The present programme
is to leave one surgeon and one steward
with each regiment, assigning the others
to the division and general hospitals. Should
a regiment be ordered out they would be
left here in hospital and the regiment would
go with only one surgeon. According to the
Hull bill each regiment is entitled to three
surgeons and three hospital stewards. Ihe

the surgeons of this regiment stand as good

first rain over, those of the boys who were
inclined to be homesick, seeing how quickly
things dry out, are becoming reconciled to

ones will stretch. Anyway, they are more
comfortable than heavy clothes, and also
do not show the dirt.
A representative from a big tobacco con-

officers, IF you had been less patient and

can be imagined when it is known that for
the five hundred appointments there were
more than 2l,000 applicants-every one of
filed, and before the appointments were
made many of the applications had to be
handled several times. Each one had to be
answered, and many of them were the sub
