MOB MAY LYNCH
 SHERIFF'S SLAYER.
Crosby Kept In Batesville For Fear Lynching Will Result Mob Reported Formed
 At Salado.

Batesville, Sept. 16.-An at tempt was made early this morn- ing toy spirit away Robert Crosby, who yesterday evening shot and killed Sheriff Jeff D. Morgan, while the latter was taking him to jail as alfugitive from Fulton county. The plan was to get Crosby on the morning train and take him to Newport for safe keeping. The threatening atti- tude of the citizens compelled the officers to abandon their ef- forts to take Crosby from the jail here. It became apparent that all such attempts will be resisted and probably result in a lynching.
 The general sentiment evident ly is that the prisoner must re- main in the jail at Batesville.
 Excitement still runs high and rumors are af1oat that a large mob from Salado, the dead sher- ifs old home, is coming to lynch the murderer, and that if the mob comessit will be augmented here.
 Sheriff Morgan's remains were inferred at 4 o'clock this after noon at the old family grave yard, six miles from town, under auspices of the Masons and Odd Fellows.
 MOB FAILS IN EFFORTS.
 Several times Friday night a mob formed about the jail at Batesville to lynch the prisoner, but each time the men were per- suaded to desist from their inten- tions by the citizens of Batesville, who have shown a most com mendable zeal in upholding the law.
 Acting Sheriff Stewart has given out a promise that Crosby will not be taken away, and Mrs. Morgan, widow of the deceased sheriff slain in the performance of his duty by a villainous out law, has urged upon the friends of the family that they allow the law to take it's proper course.
 Judge Fulkerson has already called a special session of the grand jury, and after the neces- sary ten days elapse, as required by law, the trial of Crosby will be held and speedy justice ad- ministered.

Shields was sure that he could run over it
successfully. All of $4,000 was wagered on
st. Bellane at to l. but Hume beat him
