HE CHEATED JUSTICE
A Negro Desperate Dies in Jail
of His Wounds,
One Of the Three Men He Shot Dead
and Another will Hardly
Recover.
A LYNOHING WAS AvERTED

Osceols, Ark, Sept 9-"Baldy"
Taylor, the desperate negro who shot
three white men on the train between
this place and Luxora Sunday, died in
the county Jail from the effects of the
pistol ball wound he received in the
melee.
His death was most opportune and
propitious. Doubtless the Jail would
have been stormed and the negro
lynched il death had not removed him
beyond the reach of a mob.
E. r. Hughes, one of the men shot
by Taylor, died yesterday. His death
was expected, but when it was an
nounced the white populane became
more firm in their determination to
carry out the doctrine of an eye for an
eye and a tooth for a tooth.
1t is hardly probable that any force
Sheriff Bowen might have. placed at
the jail could have restrained them.
1t is, therefore, counted fortunate
circumstance that TAYLOR died from
the wound which Hughes inflicted on
him after the negro had mortally
wounded him.
Taylor made it a business Of going
to saw mills On pay days and winning
all he could from the hands after they
were paid of. He had about $40 on
his person when he was arrested.
Taylor came from Memphis. He once
ran poker and crap game at Beale
street resort.
Fishers condition tonight is report
ed as critical. IL is said that he has
but a slim chance of surviving his
wound. Schudy is only slightly
wounded, and will recover,
Tayor was aware that II he lived
until night he would be lyncned. He
had nothing to say about the terrible
fate which hung over him.

seen of her. When she failed to re-
turn TO the hotel, Mrs, Thompson,
the landlady, became alarmed. In

More Pupils Continue to Enter the
Public Schools.
Superintendent Hatfield Has Only Par
tial Reports From the Various
Schools at Present.
MANY OTHERS ARE EXPECTED

The number of pupils entered in the
local public schools yesterday was
larger than the Number entered the
beginning OF the fall term one year
ago.
1.-THE number enrolled yesterday"
Superintendent Hatfield found time
to say this morning, sis much larger
than l expected, and am gIatified
with the result. l expected a large
attendance but not so large as it is.
There are many pupils still to enter
and am at work examining them and
placing them in proper grades as fast
as possible. "
The following is a report of the
enrolment made yesterday, and is
given in total, the teachers being
too busy to make full report of the
enrolment by grades.
White schools-Washington AL.
Longfellow 247, jefferson 81, Lee
$50, Franklin 225, Langstaff 80 and
Frontier 80, making a total enrolment
in the white schools of 1854.
Colored schools-Garfield 237 and
Lincoln 81, making a total in oolored
schools of COS, and added to the total
white enrolment makes a grand total,
white and colored, of 2162.
There is so much confusion and
the teachers are so busy that an ex'
act report of the attendance last
year at the beginning Of the fall
term could not be secured. The at
tendance at the close of the schools
the past spring was 257S, only Az
more than the opening of the school.
yesterday. There are many pupils yet
to be entered and the superintendent &
office was again filled with them this
morning. So fast do they come that
he has been unable to keep tally Of
them in the order in which they come,
and has to issue numbered slips and
wait on them as their number comes.
A number of parents wait several days
before entering their pupils, those who
failed to make promoting grade, and
have to have the pupils examined be-
fore entering them again and wait for
the rush to cease. By the close of the
month it is thought that the attend
ance will be larger than any month
during the last term and if it does will
mark a wonderful attendance in the
local schools.
The attendance in the High school
is at present SO, the same number as
last year.

Judge Whites Decision in the In
junction Cases Rendered.
II Is Black Eye for the Contrac-
tors Who We're Arrested
Here Recently.
THE FULL EFFECT NOT KNOWN

Judge White, OF the court OF APP
peals, yesterday afternoon at Bardwell
rendered a decision in the railroad in
junction cases brought in the No
Cracken circuit court, dissolving the
injunctions, which were enforced by
decision Of Circuit Judge Husbands,
prohibiting several property owners of
the county from interfering with, or
securing warrants against, the railroad
contractors who were at work on GER
tain property in the county which has
been condemned. The effect Of this
will be that the property owners can
continue securing warrants for tres
pass IL the contractors continue work.
The cases were argued before Judge
White Saturday, and the news of his
decision was not received until late
yesterday The origin Of the trouble
was several weeks ago when the IL
linois Central railroad company
brought suit in the county court to
condemn certain property desired for
the extension Of a line TO Cairo.
The company and in some cases
property owners were not satisfied
with the appraisements OF commits
sioners or those rendered in court, and
took an appeal. The question OF
where the money awarded the prop
erty owners should be deposited came
ap before Judge Lightfoot, and he
decided that it should be deposited
with the county clerk, in order that
the railroad company could secure the
difference between the amount award
ed and the amount the higher courts
decide is proper, should it prove to be
less than the awards in the lower
court.
The property owners appealed from
this decision, claiming that the money
should be paid them or the railroad
could not go to work on the land.
An effort was made to work ON the
right of way on the farms of II. W.
Rottgering, Mr.. Sam Leibel and II. l..
Potter, and warrants were taken out
against the contractors for tresspass.
They gave bond, and finally took out
an injunction to enjoin the property
owners from swearing out additional
warrants or otherwise interfering with
the work, and Judge Husbands sus-
tanned it and made the injunction per.
petuaL An appeal was then taken
and went to Judge White, the nearest
judge Of the court of appeals, for a
decision, which was a reversal of
Judge Husbands, leaving the case
where it was at first.
In the meantime. however, the rail.
road has done most of the work on the
three farms. The attorneys are not
ready to state what course will now
be pursued, as il is up to the railroad.
The opinion Of Judge White arrived
at noon today, and briefly stated re-
verses Judge Husbands on nearly every
II not every point, dissolving the IN
junction and holding that the railroad
company had no right TO enter the
land before paying the owner there
for.
1t was stated by the attorneys for
the railroad company this afternoon
that the effect will be simply that
the railroad company will have to
pay the money awarded the property
owners in order to proceed with the
work, and take chances on getting
any OF it back in case the higher
courts decide that the amounts award
