FATAL BATTLE OVER A NEGRO
Alabama Officers Save Jim Browns Life One Man Killed Another
Wounded in the Fight

windows of the court room. The first
sign Of an outbreak came when one
from the outside with pistol in his
hand started to mount the stairway.
He was followed by two or three 9TH
ers. Several shots were exchanged
and the mob leaders re,reated to the
outside. when two members began
firing into the window. Arthur
Blankenship was hit first and his
brother was shot while emptying his
revolver in the direction of the win
dow above.
A hard rain began falling. The
bodies Of the wounded were removed
and the crowd scattered about in
front OF the stores across the street.
The officers took advantage of this
lull and spirited the negro away in
charge Of two special deputies.
The crime for which Brown will
hang was committed May near
Springville, within q quarter OF .
mile of the home of the CARROTS. He
was working in q field near where
Miss Garrett, who is a school teacher,
had to pass in returning home late in
the afternoon. He followed her for
some distance and finally assaulted
her near a creek. After accomplish
ing his purpose he dragged the girl
into the water, threatening to drown
her. Abandoning this last Thoughts
Of ending his crime by murder. he
pulled OF his clothes and put on an
other suit in the presence of tho
young lady, throwing his shoes into
the water. He was with her for three
quarters Of an hour. Miss Garrett re-
NAMED unconscious for some time
and then made her way to the house
and gave the alarm.
On the way to Birmingham Brown
made his first confession. He CON-
fessed every point brought out in the
evidence, and his only excuse was
that he must have been crazy when
he committed the crime. He is now
in the Birmingham Jail, and will re-
main there till tas day Of his execu-
ton.

BOLD HOLD-UP
Which Game Very Near Resulting IN
Murder.

Spokane Wash.-Word comes from
Riparia that bold hold-up which
nearly resulted In murder, occurred in
the railroad yards at that place. Two
men were held up and robbed afts.
one Of them had been shot, less than
fifty yards from the depot while .
freight train crew was working in
the yarda The robbers escaped and
the wounded man was placed on IN
engine and sent back to StarSuck foe

Eight men were held up the previ-

GOULDS GET A ROAD.
Control Of the Norfolk aud Western
is Secured.

Philadelphia. Control Of the Nor.
folk and Western railroad has passed
out of the hands of the Pennsylvania
railroad and is firmly in the grasp OF
Gould interests.
This was announced as fact and
will probably occasion greater sur
prise in financial and railroad circles
than any similar announcement made
this year.
The Gould interests IL is asserted
now hold an actual majority Of the
capital stock of the Norfolk and
Western. 1t is believed that the
Pennsylvania interest is about SO, :
600, 900 out of the s23, 600, coo preferred
stock and sl3, 500, 600 out of the $50, :
600, 600 common stock.
The Gould party began, it is said,
by purchasing the foreign holdings of
the Norfolk and Western stock, fol-
lowing this by quietly picking up the
floating shares in the New York mark
et The control Of the Norfolk and
Western will be used by George j.
Gould to further the interests of his
railroad system. If the Pennslyy ania
system will withdraw opposition to
the Wabash in Pittsburg and agree
not to thwart Gould in his effort to
get an Atlantic seaboard outlet, the
recently acquired interest in the Nor
folk and Western will be surrendered
at price which is fair. This is the
latest of a series of Strategic moves
by the Gould group to the end Of
forcing an Eastern outlet.

NEGRO NOW In JAIL
Attempt of the Crowd to Sc.
cure the Prisoner Results
Disastr0usIy.

Asheville, Ala.-One man was
killed and another probably fatally
wounded in basttle here to save the
negro, Jim Brown, from the ven.
geance of mob after he had been
tried and sentenced to be hanged on
September 20 for criminal assault.
The killed: Walter Blankenship, sho,
through the head. the ball penetrat-
ing the right ear one inch. The
wounded: Arthur Blankenship, breast
and abdomen penetrated by birdshot,
eye put out. A small boy, the SOD of
James Hanley slightly wounded about
the face by birdshot.
The Relationships were brothers.
Walter died within two hours after
being shot, and Arthur is in a precari-
Gus condition.
The attempt of the mob to gain
possession Of the negro followed one
OF the swiftest and fairest trials ever
held. 1t was battle of witnesses
with the judge and court officials ON
the defensive to suppress the fast
rising anger Of the crowd as detail
after detail of the negro's dastardly
work was told by the witnesses for
the state. As Brown said afterward
In his confession, there vas nothing
the witnesses he had summoned could
say in his behalf
The clash came in half an hour
after Judge Pelham had pronounced
the sentence. By o ruse the court
room was cleared Of half of its angry
occupants. The remaining half was
surly and seemed bent on mischief.
At the request Of Judge Pelham. ].
L. Garrett, father of the girl SO bru-
tally outraged by Brown. mounted a
table and spoke, counseling peace.
He had hardly addressed the assem-.
bly, as his friends and neighbors be-
fore ne broke down in tears. In con-
Guiding his appeal, he said:
IT You have any respect for nv
feelings. il can have any weight in
your hearts, let me urge you as good
citizens to go home and obey the
law, and / will never cease thanking
You from the bottom Of my heart
from this day to the day of my
death"
After some difficulty the court room
was then cleared. Sheriff North
thought it unwise to attempt to take
Brown to the Jail few blocks away,
for the crowd was rapidly increasing
around the front door Of the court
house. Twenty-eight deputies, armed
with pistols and shotguns, were sta
toned in the front hall and at the

proach while the unfortunate artist
