A MOB OUTWITTED LOUISIANA SHERIFF MlIry DodSon, Negro, HangeS
 to Telegraph Pole. SHOT CONDUCTOR JORDAN Sheriff Dubrooa Thought He Had the Lynchers Fooled, and Was Taken
 by Surprise, the Prisoner
 Being Unprotected
SHOT CONDUCTOR JORDAN

New Orleans October 19.-A special to the Picayune from Baton Rouge says:
 Brusle Landing records its second lynch ing. About two months ago Ned Cobb was hanged here by a mob for murdering young Mallen. This morning Milry Dod- son was hanged for shooting Conductor Will Jordan last Tuesday morning. Sheriff Dubrooa of West Baton Rouge thought he was making shrewd play in protecting the negro, Milry Dodson, but the leaders of the mob showed a little smartness themselves, for the negro had hardly landed in the West Baton Rouge jail last night before they had him, and two hours later he was dangling beside telegraph pole at Baton Rouge Junction a corpse.
 Yesterday morning at o'clock Sheriff Young of this parish, who had safely cared for the prisoner during the night, delivered him over to the West Baton Rouge authorities. This took place in a cab on the shell road In this city, two West Baton Rouge deputies driving off with the prisoner. Dodson was carried north of the city and yesterday afternoon Deputies Palmer and Bauer crossed the river in a skiff with the negro and hid in a cane field.
 At o'clock last night they carried Dod- son to the West Baton Rouge jail and left him with the jailer, deeming all danger of a lynching over. Not an hour had elapsed before body of lynchers numbering about seventy-hve arrived at the jail and de- manded the prisoner. They came on horse back and in buggies and were heavily armed. As the jailer was alone he was compelled to deliver over the prisoner, who was taken to the Junction, a distance of eleven miles, and hanged to a telegraph pole near the scene of his crime.
 Sheriff Dubroca was taken completely by surprise, as he had gone, thinking he had outwitted the mob and all danger of a lynching was over.

Weeks Sales Represent Odd Lots-The
 Situation

Fall River, Mass, October 1a-The sales in the print clot market during the week amounted to 100000 pieces, all odds No regulars have been disposed of during that time. Manufacturers are slow sellers at prevailing prices and do not respond readily to the offer of buyers. The unsettled con- dition of cotton, even with the tendency toward lower prices noted of late, caused this unwillingness to make contracts for future delivery. All this weeks sales were for present delivery. A further increase in the selling committees price may cotne soon if cotton prices are sust stained. Thirty- eight-inch 64 squares are held at 49sI a9- inch, 6S by 72, at 5A, and the market is very steady at 3A for regulars
