Special to T:mes-Republican.
Centerville, Feb. 6. - Tom Froude,
the younger, who has been in Center
Vile for some time, got into a little
trouble in the Pratt hotel in South
Centerville Wednesday night. during
which he thought he had occasion to
draw revolver. His adversary was
his uncle, who also goes by the name
of Tom Froude. The younger Tom was
under the influence Of liquor at the
time of the trouble and made bold
threats on the life of his avuncular rel
alive, causing the latter to entertain
great fear lest he should be molested.
In the course of the fracas, the young
man was struck across the head twice
with a cane and great welts have ap-
peared to mark the spot Officers Sitter,
Bevington and Quigley arrived on the
scene in time to capture Tom the
younger, arresting him on the charge
of disturbing the peace in making his
awful threats.
The young man came to Centerville
from Sedan shortly after his uncle,
who moved here Immediately after
losing his business by fire. He has
been a bad character and 1T has been
decided to deport him, sending him
at once to Liverpool, England. 1t is
thought by his uncle that the long sea
voyage will serve to cheer him up a
little and make him feel somewhat
better towards his fellow men. At
present Tom is in the county jail
where he will have plenty Of time to
plan for his 1000 miles trip.

larceny of $50 from Peter Leonard, a
farmer of Naughton, Ia, who was a

The attempted crime was a very
bold one, and had it not been for the

last night. Under his pillow he placed
SO in cash and a draft on the bank

sage was received from City Marshal

under arrest with the money on his

at the Woodbury. house for some time,
having been employed in various ca

MISSISSIPPI STATE
HAPPENIN GS
ITEMS OF INTEREST FROM ALL
SECTIONS.
AN EPITOME OF THE NEWS
Cutled From the Important Happen
ings Throughout the State During
the Past Week and Reviewed in
Brief.
Interview Capt. Jones.

Capt. Jones, of Gulfport, with his
usual frankness, stated emphatically
that there was not word Of truth In
any Of the reports that he had In
vested in land and new railroad in
Louisiana; that he did not own dol
lars worth of property in the State
of Louisiana, nor did he contemplate
doing so; that he was in nowise con-
nected with any railroad in the South,
except the Gulf and Ship Island Rail-
road; that he was not constructing nor
contemplating the construction OF any
railroad except the extension OF the
Gulf and Ship Island Railroad be-
tween Columbia anw Silver Greek, and
the electric railroad along the Missis-
sippi coast. Capt. Jones further stat
ed that he had never been and was not
now connected in any way with any
syndicate which had for its object the
purchase of the pine timber in the
State of Mississippi, but that his ener-
gies should be directed in the future,
as they had been in the past, toward
assisting in every material way the
owners of the mills along the line of
his road and other parties who desir-
ed to establish on his road in cutting
the timber from the soil, saving the
same into lumber and shipping it off
to market. Capt. Jones declined to
express any opinion with reference to
the statements made about other par
$ties in connection with the buying of
: timber lands in Mississippi, for the
reason that he knew nothing about it
but stated that he supposed that it
was greatly exaggerated and that he
had reason for his supposition in the
unauthorized and unwarranted use of
his name in connection with the same
matter. Capt. Jones further stated
that any assertion that he had pur-
chased or contemplated purchasing the
Liberty-White Railroad was without
foundation in fact and existed only
In the vivid imagination of some IN
duStrlouS and enterprlSlnS news gath
erer. With reference to the statement
that he was a party to any combina-
ton which had for its object the pur-
chasing Of the pine timber in the state
of Mississippi so as to be able to con-
troll it against the. interest Of the peo-
pie of the state, Capt. Jones tersely
remarked that his whole life in Mis-
sissippi was in such utter contradic-
ton to a course of this sort that it
did not need the slightest notice; that
he had devoted his time, energy and
means to the upbuilding of Mississip-
pi since he had come into the state
and that it should continue to be his
aim to do those things which brought
the greatest good to the greatest num-

Reddoch Again.

The notorious M. l.. Reddoch, who
served term in Federal peni-
tertiary for forgery while postmaster
at Yazoo City, has been indicted in
the Federal court at st. Louis for per-
jury growing out Of letter he had
written charging that member Of Con-
gress from North Carolina had accept
ed money to secure the release Of a
Federal prisoner. Reddoch says he
will have no trouble in giving bail,
as he has plenty Of influential friends
in Mississippi. The investigation was
made at the request of President
Roosevelt, however, Mr. Reddoch
does not seem to be the least worried
about the Indictment and arrest, and
Is disposed to regard it in a jocular
manner. He says he has been in
tight places before and has always sue
ceeded in getting out, and that he will
get out of this scrape without going to
the penitentiary. He says he knows a
great deal and will tell it when he is
placed on trial. Reddock is smart,
careless, happy goodwill of a fellow.
and does not seem the least annoyed.
He laughs and jokes with reporters as
though he was the hero in some thrill
ing adventure that was destined to
make him famous. He appears rath-
er pleased and happy, than detected
and worried, his manner being just
the opposite Of most prisoners.
