During the week also. the camp in charge of Fore man Dan P. German has been com. pelled to suspend opera tions on ac- count of the wetness of the ground which makes logging an utter inn possibility.

The sheriff when seen by newsn,psr
men did not hesitate in expressing Ire
belief that he would be attacked while
taking his prisoners back t" the
Mobile Jail, though. he announced that
he would do his duty and try to Give
every protection. II do not believe
that without the military protection
that has been denied us. that we
stand any chance of getting our pris-
oners to Mobile and getting them
tried" said Mr.. Powers. Even II we

ers to the Jail in Mobile. Judge
semmes has declared that he will not
hold court under military protection
and with the people feeling as they
do it Will be absolutely impossible for
him to hold it any other way.
IF he attempts it, 1t will surely
mean that a mob will wreck the court
house and take the prisoner. A good
meeting was held in Mobile last night
in the interest of law and order and
some of the best men in the city at
tended.
But they were not the men or class
Of men who will compose the mop
and the meeting will have little ef-
feet on the sentiment OF the class
that will be in the ranks Of the mob.

are against me. II the negroes had

that ] caught them and placed them
in a safe place to await trial I am be-
ing abused still. What Is worse, my
deputies and myself are denied the
military protection which we will
surely need in the performance OF
| this duty.
The meeting in Mobile was held too
late. There had already been too
much infammatory talk with nothing
to counteract it. The public senti-
ment that creates a mob had been
formed and 1t Is now too strong to be
changed by such a meeting as was
held last night.
If the train is on time Sherin Pow
ers with the prisoners and other es-
corts should arrive in Mobile some
time after o'clock. A statement
made by the sheriff is that the pris-
oners will be Immediately taken to
the county jail from the depot after
their arrival in the Gulf City. He
stated that he would resist every eff.
fort to lynch the men to the very
last. The visiting newspaper man an
nounced that the Mobile sheriff hat
expressed the belief that he would
have to fight to the death.

the story of 1.-THE Heir to the Hoorah"

This is the second season In local

the small audience In attendance. The
story, therefore, is familiar.
Individually the company Is strong
and as a whole fully adequate. In the
leading role Mr.. Post Is smooth. and
carries it Off with marked credit. diff

band Is lost sight Of in the affectionate
husband and proud father. Janet
