PALMETTO TERRORlZED.
Anonymous Letters Threatening d estruc
ton of Town Received.


Atlanta Ga, May 21.-Letters have been
received in Palmetto from anonymous per-
sons declaring that the town will be fired
upon by the negro exeursionists, who are
to leave Atlanta Monday night on the eX-
cursion train for Columbus.
The letters have created the widest eX-
element in Palmetto and the citizens of
the place, frenzied with alarm and anx-
iety have determined to defend the town
from the alleged assault by wrecking the
train if necessary. Mayor Tom Arnold of
Palmetto called upon Governor Gambler
this morning, hoping that something
might be done to stop the train from leav-
ing Atlanta.
The governor telephoned President
George c. Smith of the Atlanta & West
Point road, asking If the excursion would
not be called off under the circumstances.
President Smith replied that the Atlanta
& West Point road was not running the
excursion, as it had signed a contract with
outside parties, and that the road was to
furnish only the train and schedules,
which had been accepted by the parties
getting the excursion UP.

cline to make known, reported at po-
lice headquarters this morning about I
o'clock that they had been held up by
highwaymen and each robbed Of a
small amount of money. One is said
to be Salvation army man and the
other rancher. The story given out
at police headquarters is to the effect
that the Salvation army man was held
up at the corner of Gold and Wyoming
streets and robbed of 81; that while the
hold-up was in progress the rancher
came along and was also held up, the
highwaymen taking S. from him. No
description was given of the highway
men. but both were said to have worn
a mask. The victims claim to be able
to identify at least one of the highway
men from the fact that his mask fell
from his face while he was going
through the pockets of the rancher.

The police have obtained no clue so
far to the miscreants who dubbed Miss
McNear, shot Mr.. Martin and attempt
ed to burglariZe the residence of DR..

the detective bureau has let no grass
grow under it's feet. The police have

All suspicious characters are being
closely watched, and the police hope TO
obtain a definite clue to the identity of
the three men at any moment Accord
ing to the description that has been
furnished by those who saw the men,
IL is stated that one was about five feet
nine inches. another five feet six inches,
and the other five feet four inches. The
one who struck Miss McNear wore a
mask, and was of medium height. One
of the others was dark complexioned
and had dark moustache. The pieces

thieves, although IL is said that the

slight clue.
one peculiar coincidence connected
with the affair is that the attempt at
robbery and the shooting took place
just one year from the night on which
William o. Hutchins met his death at
the hands of "a burglar on the East
Side. The man who shot Mr.. Hutchns
was escaping, and the victim died in a
few minutes. The murderer has never
been captured. The affair has caused
a great deal of excitement all over the
city, and IL is a notable fact that the
local gunsmiths sold a large number OF
revolvers yesterday. which looks as If
the average burglar would be apt TO
meet with a warm reception in the flu
ture.

deed. and his physician states that he

well known in Cambridge. Mass, her

Miss McNear was one of the bellies of
