NEGRO ASSAILANT
IS PUT UNDER BOND
Jessie Morgan, Well Known Young
Man In Tuscaloosa, Passes
Away Suddenly.

Tuscaloosa, August Especial. wet
Pumphrey the negro who was charged
with criminal assault upon the person Of
Mrs. Grim, was tried before justice Car
son yesterday and bound over to await
the action of the grand jury. His bond
was fixed at 500, which he was unable to
make He was placed in the county jail
here He was represented by S. H. Sprott,
Jr., and while all the evidence presented
was circumstantial, 1t was very strong
against him. 1t will be remembered that
Mrs. Crom woke suddenly on the night of
the 7th and found a negro in her room,
her screams causing him to jump from a
window, making his escape Later tracks
were discovered leading to Pumphrey's
home.
7. S. Travis, the Alabama Great South
ern night operator, who escaped several
weeks ago with $500 of the railroads
money. has been arrested and is being
held in Atlanta, where he was located by
Chief McGill. Papers will be procured by
Sheriff Kyle and Travis Will be sent for
at once. 1t seems that young Travis
father made good the shortage to the rail-
road company, but he will have to answer
to the state as he is charged with grand
larceny.
The many friends of Jesse Morgan were
panied this morning to learn that he
passed away last evening at o'clock. He
had not been well for a few days, but
1t was hardly known by his friends that
he was i'll. He has lived in Tuscaloosa
all his life and enjoyed a wide circle of
friends. He was a member of the firm of
Morgan Bros, having been a member or
the firm since quite a boy. He leaves a
wife and one little girl, also the following
brothers and sisters: Charles Morgan
George Morgan, viii Morgan, Mrs Dan
Roman, all of this city, and Mrs. Frank
Gaudin of Birmingham.
j. w. Sanders, who last week resigned
his position as general superintendent of
the Tuscaloosa mills at Cottondale, and
the Rosenau hosiery mills of this city
has accepted a position with one
of the largest cotton mills in the country.
He will be geenral superintendent and
will be located at New Orleans. Mr.. San
ders has the record of being one of the
best informed mill men in the south and
well deserves this fiattering position.
Machinists are working on the bored
well which has been out of order for the
past few days. This splendid water has
become such a necessity that 1t is hard
for the people to be without the water
for even a short time. 1t Is probable that
1t will be in working order by tomorrow.
