TROOPS ON GUARD

MANDs OF A MOB.
JAIL KEYS WERE DEMANDED.
BILL GRANT WAS THE MAN THE
MOB SOUGHT.

Deputy Sheriff Dean Was Held Up
and the Keys Demanded of Him.
He Did Not Have Them-The
sheriff Asked Capt. FIemming,
Commanding the Bainbridge Mill
tnry Company, to Protect the Jail.
Troops and sworn Deputies Mount
ed Gunrd over the Prisoners.
cambridge, Ga, July 17.-Great ex-
citement prevailed here last night on
account of an attempt probably to
lynch.
Deputy Sheriff Dean. on his way
home from a futile attempt to aDpre-
bend a negro wanted for assault with
attempt to murder. was held up about
IL o'clock by four unknown persons
and the keys of the Jail were demanded
from him. When he denied having
them. he was ordered to procure them
from the sheriff.
Becoming alarmed, he reported the
matter to the sheriff. and then found
the parties near the Atlantic Coast
Line deoot. The number had alarm
ingly increased and numerous threats
were made.
1t was at first thought that the mob
wished to get a man by the name of
Thrash, who eloped Tuesday evening
with the wife of the foreman of the
Georgia, Florida and Alabama shops
but developments proved that Bill
Grant was the man wanted. Grant was
sentenced to be hanged at the last term
of court for the murder of Jim Bird, a
white man, during the holidays. A
motion for a new trial had been grant
ed and created intense feeling in this
immediate territory.
Sheriff Fordham became so alarmed
at the aspect of the matter, that he re-
quested Capt. Fleming of the military
company to order out his command
to protect the Jail. The jail was sur
rounded by the armed militia, and also
by a number of citizens, who had been
made deputies for the occasion. FIRE.
quently the guard was alarmed by sus-
picious persons skirting the premises.
Heavy guards will be placed on to-
night.

MANY WATCHED
WARSHIPS SAIL
CROWDS LINED WATER FRONT
WHEN TORPEDO BOAT DES-
TROYERS GET UNDER WAY.

The British cruiser Amphitrite and
torpedo boat destroyers Sparrowhawk
and ViragO, got away this morning on
their long voyage to Hong Kong
The departure of the convoy caused
more than usual interest about the city
and, long before the destroyers left the
harbor, the Water Front in the vicinity
of the Naval slip were they lay, was
crowded with people. The cruiser went
outside of the harbor yesterday and
was waiting for the smaller craft to
come out and join her Shortly before
10 o'clock, the sharp shrill whistles of
the two destroyers began to blow. Then
the Virago backed out from slip No. 2
into the harbor and headed out to sea.
She went out at a good clip in fact at
a much faster clip than usual, so the
people along the Sea wall seemed to
think.
The Sparrowhawk followed a couple
of minutes later. There was some de-
lay in starting after the boats got out
side as the little launch of the cruiser
had to be put on board. After this
small craft was decked the signal was
given and the convoy started.
The torpedo boat destroyers took the
lead, with the cruiser following. The
cruiser did not put out any lines to
them so it is evidently the intention OF
Captain Windham to try and get along
as far as possible without towing. Lo-
cal people say that If the destroyers
should ever encounter such a typhoon
as the hattleship Oregon met last
November they would never live
through it.. This is not the typhoon
season in Pacific waters however. so
the prospects of danger from that
source are remote.

MEASLES IN FIJI.

They are having an epidemic of
measles in Fiji. The Western Pacific
Herald of April "a says:
The reported cases up to date are 715
in Suva, and 1647 in outside districts,
but it is felt that the number outside
Suva has been very much understated.
There have been nine deaths in Suva,
and five in the country. The epidemic
has reached to all parts of the group,
being of course more advanced in some
than in others. In some parts we are
happy to be able to say that it shows
signs of finishing. 1t has certainly
abated very much in Suva during the
past week.

HARBOR ALIVE
WITH SHARKS
HUNDREDS WENT INTO KAILUA
HARBOR ATTRACTED BY REFUSE
FROM BIG CATCH OF OPELU.

Kailua harbor was alive with sharks
Wednesday, a week ago. The cause OF
such run of sea wolves into the Ha-
wall port. was big catch of opelu.
The haul was one of the biggest in re-
cent history, as no less than 10000 of
the opelu were taken.
The natives cleaned the fish at the
wharf and threw the refuse into the
harbor Within a few minutes the
sharks were attracted and began flock
ing into the place. Some reports give
the number of sharks at $50. Persons
are reported to have counted as high
as 200 of the sea wolves. Nobody VEN
tured into the harbor when the sharks
were in pursuit of the refuse from the
Opelu.
