SHERIFF WAS BRAVE.
W. c. KYLE ILLUSTRATES PLANS
 OF MOB.
By His Courageous Action the Lives of Henr.- Pratt and Jim Harris Confined in Tuscaloosa Jail
 Were Saved.

Tuscaloosa. Aug. i5.-(Specia,.)-A mob attempted to enter the city jail about o'clock this morning for the purpose of lynchlns Henry Pratt, the negro whp ks charged with attempting to assault little Sallie Leona Rice last Saturday night. The mob entered the jailors residence, in front of the jail, and went up stain, into the room where Sheriff w. C. Kyle was asleep. Before he was awakened, his pis- tol and knife were taken from him and he was then asked for the keys to the jail. He told the mob that he did not have the keys and said they were locked up in the big safe in the sheriff's office.
 The leaders of the mob talked with the sheriff some time. Finally they passed to one side of the room. The sheriff sprang to a cabinet. secured his double barreled shot gun and ordered them to leave. This they did.
 After remaining on the street for about an hour the mob dispersed. It transpires this morning that all the time the mob was talking to the sheriff in his room .he keys to the cells were between the mat tresses on his bed. Had the mob sttten the keys, they would undoubtedly have iynched Pratt as we'll ass Jim Earris q negro who was brought here last night on a charge of attempting to assault Mss Anna Cobb Monday night. The negro Harris did not succeed in his purpose Miss Cobb is a niece of Sheriff Kyle or this place, who kept the mob away rom Harris and Pratt.

LOCAL WEATHER REPORT.
Indications Are That Storms Will
 Continue.


 The Montgomery Wecther Bureau re- ported yesterday evening that the Gulf s,orm was stiil central south of New Orleans yesterday morning. While 1t was moving very slowly northeastward, it had increased in energy, ;he barom- eter reading as low as 2e. 44 inches at New Orleans, and its velocity of rsvo- lution around the center was steadily increasing, giving high winds quite gen. orally along the Gulf.
 The Weather Observer says this s,orm seems to be taking very nearly the same direction northeasiward as did the storm of the fall of 1893. which wrought such havoc along the Middle Gulf Coast, although 1t is impossible as yet to gauge the strength of the present disturbance, as the Weather Bureau only has reports from one edge of it. The bulk of the disturbance is still over the Gulf.
 The Weather Bureau Office at Wash ington issued the following warning, which was receis ed here at 2:l5 p. m. yesterday:
 Violent winds and heavy rain indi- cated for Louisiana. South and East Mississippi and Alabama, during next twenty four hours"
 The official In charge of the local office of the Bureau. says that there will be no settled weather over this re- zion until the Gulf storm moves over to the north. which will probably be by this afternoon or night.

Icham Lyman. brother of Wiley Ly- man, well known negro-abo lt-town, was shot through the shoulder at the Union Depot by an unknown negro. There was an excursion of negroes from Mobile to sec them off. He was standing on the ground talking to negro girl through a window. when the loud report of a pistol rang out and Lyman felt a ball ploughing through his shoulder. It is supposed that some jealous Mobile negro saw Lyman talking to his best girl and shot him in a moment of frenzy. There was tre- mendous crowd of negroes in and around the depot at the time and no one could tell who fired the shot. hence there was no arrest made.

Anniston. Aug. 15.-(Special)-John T. Carter. white man, was brought to this city last night by Sheriff M. W. Wood- ruff of Calhoun County from Pulaski Tenn. on a charge of forgery.
 The indictment on which he was ar rested was returned by the City Court grand jury here over year ago. Several days ago Sheriff Woodruff heard that he was at Pulaski and went to that place Monday.
