To Assist in Arrest of Alleged
Lynchers in Huntsville,
TROUBLE IS EXPECTED
Friends of Indicted Men Threaten to
Forcibly Release Them if They
are lncarcerated in the
County Jail.

Madison county jail, at Huntsville,
Ala, was guarded Thursday night ay
companies G and K. Third Alabama
Infantry, Captain Lucien Brown. Be-
cause threats have been made that
parties indicted by the grand jury on
charges of lynching Horace Naples
md placed in Jail would be taken out
by their friends and set at liberty.
Ben Hill, one OF the alleged lynch
ers, was captured and lodged in jail
during the day and the officers are
looking for nine others who have been
Indicted.
Judge speake, of the circuit court,
heard rumors of impending trouble,
and wired Governor Cunningham for
the militia. The troops reached Hunts
vile shortly after o'clock, and pick
cts guard all approaches to the Jail.
No trouble is anticipated, so long as
the Jail is guarded in this manner.
Captain Brown has orders to pre-
serve the peace Of the community
even If the city must be placed under
martial law. He has camp equipment
and is fixed for long stay.
Solicitor Peters denies the rumor
that Sheriff Rogers and Mayor Smith
have been indicted. The only founda-
ton for this report is the fact that
five grand jurymen have asked IN
struotions on how to proceed to bring
about the Impeachment Of these off,
GERS II such action is deemed advisa-
BILE.
Dispensing the Crowds.
The sheriff and deputies are after
other parties indicted. Captain Brown
has patrols on the street, armed with
rifles and ball cartridges, dispensing
crowds that have gathered more
through curiosity than for any violeAt
purposes.
Until the parties are arrested it
will not be known what character OF
charges are made against them, but
It Is believed that 1t will be murder
in the first degree and arson.
After the report for the jury was
read Wednesday, Juror Charles P.
Lane addressed the court as follows:
IF your honor please, if the grand
Jury in their wisdom and discretion
see At to impeach the high sheriff OF
Madison county and his honor, the
mayor Of the city Of Huntsville, tor
failure to discharge their duty in ex'
ecuting the law, we desire to do 1t le-
gally, therefore we ask your honor for
full and complete instructions in
all formalities and specifications so
that we may avoid errors, irregulari'
ties or technicalities.
This speech created a sensation IN
court. Judge Speake charged tie
grand jury along the lines requested
and further developments are anxious
ly awaited.
A Birmingham dispatch says: 1t has
been learned that the governor order
ed troops to Huntsville for the double
purpose of assisting in the arrest OF
the persons indicted for the lynching
of the negro Naples and to prevent
the rescue of the accused after they
shall have been arrested. It is sup
posed that the Madison county author
tiles requested such assistance.

Twelve Men Voluntarily Sur
render at Baxter, Fla.
MAKES TOTAL OF TWENTY
Vendetta Between Cuncans and Ait.
mans Considered at an End.
Prisoners Carried to
Jacksonville.

Twelve of the men accused OF being
implicated in the killing Of Deputy
Sheriff Thrift at Baxter, Fla, Thurs
day night came into town Saturday
morning and surrendered to Sheriff
Herndon. The men had sent word
during the night that they would sur
render at S o'clock a. M, but all were
or hand at 7:45 o'clock. Those sur
rendering, in addition to the eight ar
rested Friday, were Charles Altman
and Hillary Altman, who are charged
with the murder Of Jackson Duncan
and the negro, Jim Riley, on the
train; Jesse Altman, who shot W. N.
Duncan, father of Jackson Duncan, in
front of the Baxter postof1ce; Andrew
Harvey and Ivey Harvey, charged
with being members of the mob with
Jesse Altman; Aaron Bowling, Will
liam Bowling, Alonzo Bowling, Will
liam Bowling, Jr., W. H. Johns, George
Johns and Cauley Johns.
ALI of the men were taken on board
special train and left at once for
Jacksonville under guard Of Wilson
battery, of that city.
Jesse Altman had been hiding out
alone and came in by himself. The
others came in together, with a few
friends.
Hillary Altman has bad gunshot
wound in the right shoulder, which
was dressed by a surgeon attached to
the troops. He was evidently shot
at the time the mob attacked Deputy
Sheriff Thrift, who killed Riley Dowl'
ing. None Of the others were
wounded. ..
Both companies of troops left on
the special. w. N. Duncan and son,
Marshal Duncan, will remain at Bax,
ter. Their wounds are not considered
fatal, but they can not be moved.
Sheriff Herndon and deputies have
the situation we'll in hand and no more
trouble is anticipated.
Sheriff Mattox, of Charlton county,
Ca, who arrived in Baxter Saturday
merning, said that while he was per.
fectly willing for the prisoners to be
locked up in the Duval county Jail,
at Jacksonville, for safe keeping, he
intended to try and secure the men
charged with committing the crime in
his county and have them tried In
that county. When asked what steps
be intended to take, Sheriff Mattox
stated that he intended to telegraph
Governor Terrell and ask him to make
a requisition on the governor OF Flor
ida for the delivery to the Charlton
county authorities Of Charles and Hill
liary Altman, the men charged with
the killing of Jackson Duncan and the
negro, Jim Riley, on the train, which
was then in Charlton county. Until
the governors agree in regard to the
proper custody of the prisoners, Sher'
if Mattox is perfectly willing oallow
the prisoners to remain in the Duval
county Jail.
The Florida authorities will proba'
bly, claim Hillary Altman, because
when he gave himself up Saturday
morning he had the military surgeon
dress three gunshot wounds, which
are, considered as showing that he
was In the mob that killed Deputy
Sheriff Thrift.
