Last Thursday night a crowd of
about one hundred men sought for
Steve Tullock (colored) in various
places, but did not find him. They
first visited his house on lions Hill,
but he was mot at home" Pilot KNOB
and vicinity also were explored in all
directions. but the search was in vain.
Steve had fed and no ''coOn" was
treed that night. nor has the delin-
auent's whereabouts been as yet de-
termined. He had insulted white
lady, and the mob's gathering and
search were the result. Good judg-
ment will keep him away from this
locality for all time to come; for as he
may rest assured that if his pursuers
had run across him last Thursday
night his fate would have been sealed.
so he may take it for granted that
lapse of days will not stay their anger
or change their purpose.
