News comes from Grenada that a
graduate of Booker T. Washington's
Tuskeegee Institute has been for
some time quietly planning an in
dustrial school which will meet the
needs of that section of the State.
1t is said that a number of white
planters, who have extensive farm.
ing interests in the Mississippi delta,
have subscribed to this enterprise.
and that others will do so as the
work progresses. The plant is to be
located at one Of the most beautiful
spots in the State, in the western
part of Grenada county, right where
the hill country meets the valley, and
where there are five negroes to one
white man.

Trial of Whit Owens.

Judge P. H. LowreY says he will
issue a call for a special term Of the
Circuit Court at Oxford on August
1S, for the purpose of trying the
Whit Owens murder case. Owens is
in the penitentiary at Jackson,
where he was taken for safe keeping
pending the hearing of his case by
the Supreme Court, it being feared
if he was granted a new trial mob
violence would be visited upon him.
He was granted new trial, but feel
ing in the matter in Lafayette coun-
ty has subsidized, and there is no dam
ger of his being summarily dealt
with if he were carried back to the
scene Of his alleged crime.

shot b. shsrla,s Posse.

One night last week in Tillatoba
creek bottom, ten miles southeast OF
Charleston, Joe Dunn, a white man
about 25 years old, was killed. Dunn
had just returned from the peniten-
tiary, where he served a two years
sentence for stealing cattle, and was
wanted at this term Of Circuit Court
for murder. When he learned of the
Indictment he armed himself with
revolver and, with his younger broth
er, fastened to Tillatoba creek,
where he secreted himself, making
ugly threats and defying arrest.
Judge Cook, who is a very deter
mined man, instructed the sheriff to
bring him in dead or alive. The
sheriff.organized posse and on arri-
val at his hiding place, whittier they
had been piloted by one of Dunn's
former associates, they commanded
him to throw up his hands. He re-
fused to do so, but instead fred a
volley from his revolver, failing,
however, to hit anybody. The Off
GERS, knowing Dunn to be desper-
ate character, returned the fire, from
the effects of which he died in about
an hour. He pleaded piteously after
being shot down and denied having
shot at the deputy, but empty cart
ridges in his revolver gave his state
ment the lie. His brother has been
lodged in jail at Charleston.
