Death of Col. j. II. Deasou.

News reached here yesterday that
Col. j. b. Deason, who has been in Me
ridian for several months, was in dy-
ing condition and this morning the re-
port came that he had died.
Col. DeasOn went to Jackson several
months ago on business before the su-
preme court and on his return trip he
had a stroke of paralysis. He was taken
off the train at Meridian and at once
taken to his daughters home where he
has been ever since, not recovering suf-
ficiently to leave his bed. This was the
second stroke of the disease that he had
had, and being quite old no one expect
ed that he could live much longer.
Col. Deason was one of the kindest
hearted men in the State, Notwith-
standing his peculiar ideas about many
things he had host of friends who
stuck to him to the last During the
republican administration in this State
he took very prominent part in politics
and held office at several different times,
but after the republican party was over
thrown he dropped politics and devoted
his time and talents to the practice of
law, in which profession he always
stood high. For long time he was
identified with our city government as
one of its city fathers and his counsel
was always sought when there was a
complicated question up for discussion.
His remains, we understand, are to be
taken to Brookhaven for interment
The several grown children he leaves
behind have the deepest sympathy of
the entire city. Hattiesb,pg Progress,

COL. j. u. DEASON.

The well-known Mississippian and
former resident of Brookhaven, died
at the home Of his sOn-inlaw, Rev. IL.
M. Ellis, in Meridian, on last Wednes-
day night. On Thursday, his remains
were brought to Brookhaven, accom-
panied by Mr.. and Mrs. Ellis, and laid
to rest in Rose Hill Cemetery by the
side of those of his wife, who preceded
him to the grave over 20 years ago.
The funeral was very largely attended,
the services being conducted by Rev.
r. j. Boone, assisted by Rev. II. w.
Featherstun. A feeling tribute was
paid to the memory of the deceased by
Bro. Boone. The Mayor and Board of
Aldermen met the remains at the de-
pot sieL the train arrived and attend
ed the funeral III body.
Co. b. Deason was born in Kentucky
on July 2lst, 1924 He came to Missis
sippi when young man. He served
as Major in the Mexican war, and
was also an officer in the war between
the States. He came to Brookhaven
over % years ago, and for long while
was intimately associated with our
people officially and socially, During
the reconstruction era he served as
chancellor and district attorney of this
district During the early eighties he
was postmaster of Brookhaven, and
from March /, 1884, to March 4, 1886,
was mayor of the city. The last office
he held in this county vas that of Rep
resentative, to which he was elected in
1887. In 1883 or 1889, he moved to Hat
tiesburg, where he continued to reside
and practice his profession. the law
to the time Of his death,
He was a man of good natural ell
dowments and his genial nature made
him ever popular in the social circle.
Last November Col. Deason visited
his eldest daughter, Mrs. A. Hurst, of
Brookhaven, and spent several days
mingling With old friends. He was
then quite feeble and said that this
would probably be his last visit to his
old Brookhaven home, as it proved to
be. He left here and visited his son,
Mr.. Thos W. Deason, of Vicksburg,
and Ell route home from there was
taken seriously i'll i'll jackson. He fl
nally proceeded as far as the home of
his son-in-law, Ar. Ellis, of Meridian,

William Rutledee Badly Injured.

ELLIsvILLE, April 3.-William Rutledge
of Mount Carmel, Covington county,
was severely injured by New Orleans
and Northeastern train at this place
last night. He was attempting to leave
the train when his foot caught on the
steps and he was dragged several yards
before the engine could be stopped.
His right leg was broken at the thigh
and the right arm was so badly injured
that the doctors found it necessary to
amputate it at the shoulder. 1t is
feared that the injuries may prove
fatal.
Mr.. Rutledge is vice president of the
Bank of Ellisville, is stockholder of
the A. Baldwin Hardware Company,
some of the street railways and one of
the New Orleans banks, and is one of
the most prominent and wealthy citi-
zens of Mississippi.

THE RIGHT MOB POLICY.

Sheriff Applewhite's action in call
ng on Gov. Longino to place the
Brookhaven Military Company sub
ject to his command in order to de-
fend prisoner threatened with lynch
ing will be applauded by all law abiding
citizens of Lincoln county and Missis-
sippi. This thing of an officer of the
law having to dodge around and hide
out with prisoner in Difference to a
law -defying mob az though he himself
was culprit and fugitive from justice,
and that in a State whose people pro-
fess to be civilized and law abiding, is
neither pleasing spectacle nor one
calculated to inspire popular respect
for the law, and Sheriff Applewhite
is one who has the nerve and good
sense to take this view of it. We have
had too much of that sort Of thing in
Mississippi already.-7he BrOoLhdren
Leader.
Time was when sheriff of a Missis-
sippi cgunty, especially when that of
flee was vested in such man as DR.. K.
r. Applewhite, would have felt abso-
lutely secure in his reliance upon the
posse comitatus, for upholding the law
against the mob But times have
changed, and not for the better. Fhe
mob disease has 50 possessed Itself Of
the body polite that unusual meas.
ures are required to prevent outbreaks
of murder and lawlessness.
The situation is one that all of the
81 HS nf ha bot 81
as did the sheriff of Lincoln county
one of the bravest Confederate sur
vivors and II citizen of irreproachable
character, His call upon Gov. Longino
was at once recognized, and the mere
kno wledge of the fact that the local
company had been ordered to report
to the sheriff if called upon, led to the
abandonment of the plan to lynch the
murderer.
The incident furnishes lesson that
ought to be of value. Whenever the
lynching spirit grows ominous the
chief executive of the threatened
county, if in sympathy with the senti-
ment raised by the States chief exec
utive, should make hiMself secure 10y
asking the aid of the militia force. The
policy is one that the governor would
do well to impress upon the various
sheriffs to inculcate the need of
prompt report to him whenever there
is grave mob menace in prospect

Wallace Brothers Carried to MeadyiIIe.
Sheriff Lucien PROXY, of Franklin
county, with Messrs. Sullivan, Scott
and Anderson, three trusty deputies.
appeared in Brookhaven last Sunday
morning to demand of Sheriff Apple
white the custody of the Wallace
brothers, who have been confined in
the Lincoln county Jail for safe-keep-
ing ever since before Christmas, as it
! was feai.ed they would be lynched if
carried to Meadville before Court met.
A team was secured from Hardy & Ap-
plewhites stable and an early start
made for Meadville with the prisoners.
Late Sunday evening a telephone mes
sage was received from Sheriff PROXY
stating that the trip had been made in
safety and the prisoners landed in the
Franklin county Jail.
Pearly and Horace Wallace are want
ed in Franklin on the charge of muir
derlng a reputable farmee named
Chisholm in that county last Decem-
! Der. There was intense feeling against
them Immediately after the murder
They feared being lynched and came
into Lincoln county and surrendered
to Sheriff r. c. Applewhite as meas
ure of safety and have been kept here
ever since. A brother-in-lawo of the Wal
lace's has turned States evidence, and
there is very strong case against
Pearly Wallace, who is alleged to have
been the one who killed Chisholm.
The Stonewall Guards expected to
be called out to act as a military es-
cort for the prisoners to Meadville,
and were pluming themselves on being
able to hold at bay any mob which
might appear, but Sheriff Proby's pro
gram obviated any necessity for this.
DR., Applewhite says the Wallace broth
ers made model prisoners while in his
custodyand he became very much at
tached to them.
The Franklin Circuit Court convened
Monday morning.
On Monday a few hours after the
Franklin county court met at Mead
vile, and the grand jury empaneled,
it returned an indictment for murder
against the Wallace brothers and
Newell. their brother in law.
