PERU CITIZENS ANGRY
SHERIFF DUNN CRITICISED FOR
CALLING FOR TROOPS.
Jail Fully Protected-Jones Calls Mob
"Cowards and Buffers" and Says
the Girl Was "Romantic.''

The citizens Of Miami county are highly
incensed over Sheriff Dunns action in call
ing for troops Wednesday. according TO
Charles Lockwood, of Peru, who called at
Governor Mounts office yesterday. None Of
the other county officers knew this action
had been taken until word TO that effect
was received from this city. and the tele-
gram was sent by the sheriff without con-
sulting any one, Mr.. lockwood said. He
stated that there is not and has not been
any necessity for troops at any time, as
the jail is in the basement of the courthouse
and there is but one entrance to it. Mr..
lockwood says the arrangement is such
that three men with good supply of bricks
could hold any mob at bay. He further said
there is military company in Peru which
is organized and equipped. and which would
have served in case Of necessity. The citi-
zens of Peru and the county, he said. de-
plore greatly the notoriety which has been
given to the community through the hasty
action OF the sheriff.

JONES LAUGHS AT MOBs.
Says the Girl Went with Him from
Choice, Calling Herself His Wife.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
KOKOMO, Ind, Aug. 10.-A rural hack
man brought in word this morning that the
mob that gathered in Miami county yes
terday to lynch William Jones, the alleged
abductor of Nellie Berger. had not dis
persed. but remained together for an at
tack on the jail here tonight; that he had
seen them camped in the woods and knew
from their actions they had not given up
the job. Sheriff Harness does not believe an
attempt will be made to force the Jail, but
he Is taking every precaution and will not
be caught mapping. The Jail has been con-
verted into a veritable arsenal. The Off
GERS received word from another source to-
day that the mob Is on the move. though
still in Miami county. There were several
strangers in town this evening, but If there
be a mob on the way from Miami county to
lynch Jones it evidently got lost somewhere.
There is nothing in sight or prospect that
resembles the three hundred lynchers de-
scribed by Peru people and no hostile WIS.,
itation is expected by the sheriff tonight
or any other time. The Jail remains heavily
guarded.
Jones Is apparently unconcerned and
laughs at the reports that a mob Is after
him and pronounces the members a pack
of towards and buffers who would
break and run at the sight of a gun. To
reporter he gave his version OF the al
legged abduction as follows: 1T was no alb
duction at all. The girl and 1 met and we
went off together. We had the consent OF
the girls parents. The girl was at no time
a prisoner, nor was she intimidated. She
accompanied me of her own free will and
she will so declare on the witness stand
IL / am ever permitted to have a prelim-
mary hearing. It's all great big fuss about
nothing.
'"The girl Is pretty and romantic and
we were just out for fun. She told every
body she was my wife. My father lives
at Cadillac, Mich, where he operates seven
sawmills and Is well fixed. Up to a short
time ago / was delivery boy in Chicago,
but got a horse and buggy and started
south. I got acquainted in the Macy neigh
borhood, where the Bergers live and that
was the start Of the muss. AS soon as we
the girl wrote home and told her folks
all about the affair. Then the report started
that 1t was an abduction and / was ar
rested and jolted around over the country
to keep from being lynched."
Jones Is twenty-five years old, weighs 145
pounds. has large, lustrous eyes, soft brown
hair and is not at all bad looking. He has
asked a Kokomo legal firm to defend him
and says his father is able and willing
to pay for hrst-class defense. though he
has not heard from his father since his ar
rest.

WEATHER WAS DIRTY"
AND OLD DEFENDER MADE A GOOD
SHOWING AGAINST COLUMBIA.
Practically Beat the New Yacht in a
Thirty-Seven-MileR Run If Time
Allowance Was Given.

VINEYARD HAVEN. Mass, Aug. TO-
The old Defender practically won race
against Columbia to-day, If time allowance
was given, in the dirtiest sort of weather
for a yacht club cruise. But the victory, 1t
must be admitted, was more than well
earned. and the yachtsmen of the New York
Club and their guests never saw before, and
may not see again for years, such sailing
event. The margin between the famous
sloops was fourteen seconds over minute
in the thirty-seven-mile run from Brenton's
reef lightship, off Newport, to the West
Chop buoy. in Vineyard sound. with change
in course at Vineyard sound lightship.
The race between Columbia and Defender
was fairly soul-stirring. After both got
away over the starting line it was nip and
tuck with eased sheets for almost an hour,
Defender just hairs breadth, compare
lively speaking, in the lead, with Columbia
abeam. Even after Columbia made a gain
so that Defender could cross under her
stern, Columbia did not walk away. the
heavy breeze hove the latter down and
made her lose distance on repeated luffs. =,
through the entire day. and the southerly
wet mist from seaward. Defender crossed
the line at u:0:lO and Columbia at n:2o:40.
Columbia at once bore down on Defenders
weather quarter but could not get by her,
and for fifteen miles the boats sailed side
by side Just before reaching the lightship
both boats set No. jib topsails and three
strong puffs knocked both boats well down
and Columbia was forced to luff each time.
From the lightship to the fnish nearly
twenty miles, the boats ran somewhat more
off the wind and Columbia drew away from
Defender, finishing / minute and seconds
ahead.
To-day's race and the performance of Co.
lumbia was satisfactory on the score Of
heavy weather. She took all that came
and, while eased up several times, that was
no evidence that she would have had too
much of good thing If stake were pend
ing on the outcome Of the race. All the
other boats found that the weather was
boisterous enough for the time being, and
some of the schooners fairly flew through
the water. The sloop Vigilant, which head
ed the fleet, finished first, with Navahoe
second and then came the two big racers.
