GIRLS OWN WAY
Josephine Fisher Won't Go
Home Because She Was
Sent to the Protec-
tory.

Mrs. Il. Fisher. of No. 240 Cherry ss-aet
New York, called upon Police Justice HOS
in the First Criminal Court this morning
and informed him that her daughter, Jo-
sephine. was living with the family OF
James Brown in Sixteenth street, near
Jersey avenue, and that she refused to go
to her home She asked the Justice If
something couldn't be done to compel her
daughter to return home, as she believed
that either she was restrained of legal
liberties or that undue influence was pc
ing used by the Browns
The Justice asked her if she could make
affidavit to the effect that the daughter
was being detained against her will. she
said she could not prove this. The daugh-
Ter is eighteen years old. The Justice said
he could do nothing in the case.
Mr.. Brown is a widower- He has sew
eral children, one of whom is son,
George, a young man, with whom, 1t IS
said, the girl is infatuated. Mr.. Brown
was seen by a reporter this morning. and
said there was no truth in the report that
Miss Fisher was detained against her will.
He said she was acting as housekeeper
for his family. but was at liberty to- go
wherever she pleased at any time. She
had quarreled with her mother, he said,
and refused to go to her home. The two
families knew each other for years. The.
Fishers used to live in this city
Miss Fisher was not at the home of the
Browns when the reporter called. Mr..
Brown said she went to Hoboken last
noight to visit a girl friend and had not
returned. Mr.. Brown said that so far as
he knew the trouble between mother and
daughter was over the fact that the
mother had the daughter put into the
Catholic Protectory at Arlington George

POPULAR MAN MOVES.

MI. w. H. McMullen, who has
been operating a gigantic saw mill
at Bowdens for the past two years,
will leave next Tuesday for his old
home in Minneapolis where he is
engaged extensively in the saw mill
business. The community in which
Mr.. McMullen has resided since his
coming to this section will greatly
regret to part with him and his
family. The town of Faison, where
he has made his home, will miss him
more than any other place. When
it is announced that he has made a
town where two years ago there was
nothing but a wilderness of pines the
magnitude of the work he has ac-
complished can be understood. Prior
to the erection of the saw mill at
Bowdens it was just a stopping place
come to this section of the country,
he selected a place just this side of
the old Bowden station to put down
his saw mill. He began work and
the railroad company changed the
| station to the place where the mill
was located, and since that time there
has grown up quite anice little town.
The employees of the mill would
make a town population within
themselves.
Mr.. McMullen has spent a guam
tity of money in erecting the mill
and building railroads into the pine
forests adjacent to the mill. The
mill has been in operation for some
time and has proved a paying invest
ment, but not sufficient to keep Mr..
McMulIen in this part of the coun-
try. He has decided to leave for his
old home next week, and with this
end in view has disposed of his mag
nificent saw mill plant and railroads
to the Rowland Lumber Co., who
own the timberin the forests and who
will continue to operate the mill.
Mr.. McMullen and his family take
with them to their old home the best
wishes of many new made friends in
this section.

MOB VIOLENCE.
An Old Negro is Taken From His
Home and Whipped.

It is reported here Friday that an
old negro manliving on Mr.. Cullon
Powell's plantation near Warsaw,
disappeared from his home last
Thursday night. The mystery has
been kept very quiet for a week.
Mr.. Powell came to the city Friday
ond said that the negro had been
taken from his home and severely
whipped and after remaining away
for three Or four days had returned
home. He also said that the affair
was to come up in Warsaw to-day
for trial, but he did not mention
the names of the guilty parties.
There is a report from other
sources to the effect that a crowd of
white men wentto the house
last Thursday night and took him
out Of bed and carried him off with
nothing but his night clothes on.
The old negro had not returned
home Saturday evening and his girls
went to Warsaw and reported the
matter for the first time. The girls
said that the men who carried their
father off warned them not to report
the affair. The sheriff of the county
was notified, and he organized a
searching party and hunted through
all the woods adjacent to Warsaw.
They found the Negroes night clothes
but could find no trace of him.
Nothing of the offense which the
negro had committed can be learned
but it is believed here that he must
have committed some terrible deed
to provoke such treatment.
