HUNTING WHlTECAPS
IN MISSISSIPPI

JACKSON. Miss, June l0.-The cir
cult court of Lincoln county, Miss,
is in session during the present week
and promises to attract widespread at
tention on account of the effort that
will be made to suppress the band of
white cappers in that county.
Several weeks ago the citizens of
Lincoln county made an appeal to the
governor to assist them in the effort
to rid the county of the whitecap-
pers, and Governor Vardaman employ
ed the Pinkerton detective agency to
ferret out the ringleaders of the band.
Detectives have been in that sec
tion of the state for the past month,
and, while nothing tangible has been
made public, it is believed that they
have collected an array of evidence
that will doubtless prove surprising
to the lawless bands.
The effort to break up the white
caps is backed up by healthy pub
lie sentiment, two mass meetings hav-
ing been held at Brookhaven within
the past few weeks, and it is expected
that the grand jury win return IN
dictments by the first of next week.
The whitecapper outrages have not
been SO widespread as in the neigh
boring counties, where the farming and
business outlook is now very gloomy
on account of labor being driven out
of these counties. The citizens of Lin
coin are determined to nip the move
ment in the bud before general de-
moralization results, and when the
grand jury probes deeply into the
matter it is believed they will also
develop some evidence regarding the
three of four murders that have been
committed in the county as the result
of whitecapper demonstrations.

.OULD-BE BOY
PIRATES Are
SQUELCHED

TACOMA, June 10.-Four messen-
ger boys Of the Postal Telegraph
company took a cruise one night this
week which has decidedly dampened
their enthusiasm about pirates and
life on the high seas.
When the hour for the boys to go
to work at night came around four of
the lads failed to put in an appear
ance at the office. Hours passed and
stMl they did not appear. Incidentally.
there were four homes in Tacoma
from which four bright boys were
missing that night.
The boys. George Fletcher, Walter
Forman. Warren Kistler and Roy
Baines. took notion that II would
be fine thing to 20 sailing. The
life of buchaneer appealed to them
more than carrying kilograms.
They secured sailboat and finally
reached the neighborhood of Stones
Landing During the afternoon the
wind died down and the four boys
were left beealmed on the Sound. The
alf-starved youngsters spent the
whole night In the sailboat and il
wasn't until the next morning that
they reached land, after an experience
which none Of the quartet enjoyed.

DIVORCES As [A51 To dit
As hARQ|AQ[ LICENSES

Divorces are almost matter OF
form in this county. The plaintiff
files a complaint alleging nonsupport
or desertion. Sometimes drunken
ness is alleged. Then after 20 or more
days have elapsed the plaintiff appears
before Judge Kennan with woebe-
gone expression and true and trusty
friend for witness. The rest is easy.
Elizabeth B. Davis appeared this
morning with the required face and
witness. She had tale OF nonsupport.
In January, 1903, she married Elias
Davis. She alleged that she furnished
the house with her own furniture and
had supported the family by her own
work. She also stated that Elias was
cross and ill-tempered. The couple
lived together six whole months.
Then came the true and trusted
friend. The witness called by Mrs.
Davis was full of hearsay evidence
which she was not allowed to give. She
looked disappointed. She knew that
Mrs. Davis supported the family. How?
Mrs. Davis told her so. She did not
help the poor and lily used plaintiff.
Boiled down, her testimony amounted
to nil. Things looked black for Mrs.
Davis, who so wished to be called Miss
Evans hereafter. Mr.. Barnhart for
the state smiled and congratulated
himself on the fact that he had won
a default divorce case. But Judge
Kennan saw things in different light
and granted the decree. Hereafter
address all letters to Miss Elizabeth
B. Evans.

the truth of the reports circulated in

doned the work Of securing delegates.

somewhat by the fact that Hearst
had already secured all the endorse

vention.
