BRAVE OFFICER
HOLDS OFF MOB

fContinued from First Page.)
Mr.. Peter Jones, a highly-respected citi-
zen of Aecklenburg county. Mr.. Jones
left his home, near Buffalo -Littia Springs,
Sunday morning for a walk. He had not
returned when the dinner hour came, and
still being away at sunset, a search was
begun for him. He was found dead
about midnight a few hundred yards from
his home. He was lying with his face to
the ground, his hand still lightly holding
to his cane. The ground near him show
ed that there had been great struggling.
A few feet away was q bloody iron pipe
that in the hands of the murderer had
crushed in the old mans skull.
There seemed at first no clue. When
morning came and the Coroners jury
said that Mr. Jones had come to his
death by the hand of some unknown muir
derer, the community was stirred with
indigna ton, and men began to search for
some clue Circumstances connected
Baptist with the crime. and he was
finally arrested by Constable Tally.
las soon as the arrest was known the
people became wild in their thirst for
the blood of the hend who had murdered
an old and honored citizen.
Tally did head work. He sent out
notice that he would take the prisoner
to certain point, and then fastened
with him in another direction. A large
and angry crowd assembled al the eX-
pected destination Of the officer, and
when no prisoner arrived their fury was
increased. The men rushed on to Tai
ly's home, thinking the prisoner was
concealed there, and forced Mr.. Tally's
wife to allow a search of the houses on
the premises.
The officer with his man had nearly
reached Buffalo Junction on his way to
Petersburg A detachment of armed men
stopped him there and boisterously de-
imanded the prisoner. Tally drew his
pistol and told the mob he would defend
the negro at the risk of his own life. He
finally started on with Baptist, and when
ne reached the Junction the furious fol-
lowing mob again demanded that the
negro be turned over to them. Common
wealth's Attorney Goode and other COOL
headed citizens pleaded with the men to
let the man be tried according to the
laws of civilized Americans. After much
excitement and clever work the officer
and his man started again for Petersburg.
He met with no more interference, and
reached here this afternoon. Mr.. Tally
saw his man safely lodged within a cell
and then returned to his home, in Meek
lenburg: He believes, and justly, that ne
acted well in foolng the main body of
the mob.
Baptist is about twenty years of age.
He denies having committed the murder.

PATRICK COUNTY DIVIDED.

STUART. VA. April 24@Special.-at a

day delegates TO the Norfolk convention
were appointed. There was a small crowd
and but little interest was manifested
until the question as to whether the dele

One faction wanted them to go unin-
strueted entirely, while the other wanted
them instructed to vote against the con-
stitutiona1 convention being made a
party issue. The latter prevailed.
While sentiment here is divided as to
the constitutional convention, it is be-
