LYNCHING MAY
HAVE OCCURRED
People Around Baxley Reported
Excited Over GOOsbey
Negroes
WHO MURDERED A YOUNG FARMER,
Caused Death Of His Child and Brutally
Assaulted His Wifs-Trial Scbed-
uled Ear To-day.


oakley, where Jadgs Jos. w. Ben
net OF this city is now holding cour,
is again in a turmoil OF excitement
over the reported efforts to lynch
the four negroes now in jail there for
Farmer Mimms, causing
the death Of his child and brutally as
saulting Mrs. Mimms. The COnstltu-
ton reaching Brunswick last night
has the following from BAxley which
was wired from that place at four
O'clock yesterday morning.
The wires 10 the Western Uuion of
Hcs here we're reported down at IL
O'Clock last night At $50 reports
from Bsxley were that all was quiet
SO far.
The Constitution special says:
The GoOsbey negroes, who few
days ago in cold blood assassiUaled
Planter Minis, caused the death OF his
child and probably fatally wounded
MRS. Nuns, are likely TO ornament the
limb OF tree in close proximity to the
county jail when the next sun rises
over this section Of the state.
Shortly after 70 O'Clock tonight sew
80 men appeared at the county jail
and. calling the sheriff from his rest,
held a hurried consultation With him.
The conference did not last long, end
at it's conclusion the men quickly dis
appeared down the road leading aws9
from town. The sheriff had been no.
tilted by these visitors that lypb bhiug
was contemplated and in short time
he had set In motion the fun powers
of his flee I'd prevent any mob yio-
lenoe.
TO those with whom he talked the
sheriff stated that his midnight call
ers bad inf wsd him that a crowd q
seventy-fi Hmen, who called them
selves "jurors in the Goosbey matter" I"
had determined to pass upon the guilt
or innocence Of the prisoners at .onss.
The sheriff was told that this body Of
men was fully organized and equipped
to carry out its designs and under no
cor ditions would the members submit
to any oppositIon. Ae was told that
the men we're then within few miles
Of town and we're awaiting the hour
agreed upon wit h another party before
attempting to carry out their purpose.
The sheriff, knowing the strength C6f
his jail, thought the guards with him
sufficient, butremoved his family from
the building so that the members
would be in no danger and is now
awaiting the promised visit. He sent
a runner in the direction Of the rem
devious Of the "75 jnrOrs," instructing
him to say to them that under no con-
1itions would he allow his prison en-
tered nor would he surrender the men
entrusted to his care by the law. So
far, that messenger has not returned,
and the impression prevails here that
be is being detained against his will.
The sheriff is expecting an assault at
almost any minute. Under no condi-
ions will he permit any one to modest
lis prisoners, and if the mob is as de-
ermined as the sheriff there may be
