Troops Guarded Decatur Jail.

Company A, of the state troops,

attempt Of mob Of people to take out
the negro prisoners held there. sus.
pected of attempted assault upon the
Misses Mabel and Ethel Lawrence,
spent the night there and came back
to town early Saturday morning.
A mob had gathered before the Jail
Friday evening. 1t was composed of
260 men, and under the belief that
the guilty negro was in the jail, they
clamored for him to be brought forth.
So persistent was this demand that
Solicitor William Schley Howard of
osKalb county telephoned Governor
Terrell, with the result that the mil.
itia was sent out
Meanwhile the mob, growing persis-
tent became so cIamorous that Sheriff
Reagan consented to allow a commit

to enter the jail, and they saw all
prisoners. The committee reported
that the guilty negro, SO far as they
could tell, was not in the jail.
This pacif1ed the mob to some ex-
tent, but it was augmented from time
to time by fresh arrivals from the
city and these the soldiers had to
drive back from the jaff. At mid
night the mob had practically dispers-
ed, and only the soldiers, who still
guarded the Jail, remained on the
scene.
In the midst of the excitement in
Decatur, N G. Hubbard, a special Of
ficer, slipped past the mob with Bob
Harris, negro suspect, and took him
before Miss Mabel Lawrence at her
home. She failed to identify the ne

Attack Made Near Scene of Murder.

Attack Made Near Scene of Murder.
Atlanta, Aug. 25.--A negro attempt
ed to attack Miss Mittie Waites, a
school teacher at Adamsyille, 8 miles
from the city, Friday afternoon and
only the screams of the young lady
saved her from probable assault.
Miss Waites was alone in the woods
at the time, several hundred yards
from her home, when the negro tried
to attack her. She screamed and
ran when the negro advanced upon
her and he turned into the woods near
by and disappeared.
The affair was quickly told in the
neighborhood, and a posse of citizens
was organized. A telephone mes
sage to the city notified the county
police and Chief Turner soon had his
men on the scene.
The woods near by were secured,
but from last accounts the negro had
not been captured.
Miss Waites was greatly excited
and came near having nervous pros
tration from her experience. She
had left the house of her mother and
went to spring in the woods to get
a bucket Of water. She was stoop-
ing over the spring, filling the buck
ct, when she heard noise, and upon
looking up she saw a large, heavily
built. black negro 10, %ng at her. AS
she arose to her feet the negro start
ed toward her. She dropped the
pail and startS 40 run. She scream
cd and the negro called to her to stop.
This only frightened her the more,
and she continued to run and to call
for help.
After following the young lady
few yards the negro became alarm
ed at her continued screams and he
left the path and disappeared in
nearby thicket.
Miss Waites is the 18-year-0Id
daughter of Mr.. Waites, who is now
farming in Adamsville district, and
who was formerly a deputy sheriff at
the court house.
Where the negro tried to attack
Miss Waites is not far from the spot
where Amos Moody was murdered last
Saturday afternoon.
The people in the district are still
worked up over the crime, and when
they heard of the attempt to attack
Miss Waites, they were incensed. If
the negro can be caught and identi-
fed he would not have much chance
of even reaching prison alive.
While the county police ana Ehe
posse Of citizens were searching the
woods west of Atlanta, another crowd
Of police and citizens were engaged
in the same work to the east Of At
lanta, where efforts were being made
to find the negro who assaulted the
Misses Lawrence.
A farmer from Adamsville saiS Fri
day night:
IF it has gotten to be so that our
women folks cannot go to the spring
for water to drink, my God don't
know what our county will come to.
i has about come to pass that wo-
man or girl cannot leave the house
to walk hundred yards away with
out negro brute tl=-la@ To- assault

California Trunk Mystery,

A remarkable criminal mystery came
to light at Stockton, Cal, Saturday
night, when trunk which had been left
ali day at lbe Southern Pacific depot
was opened and 10 it was found the body
of man, probably The victim OF nur'
der.
The police, after hard work, identified
the man as A. NJ. McVickars, a miner
from the Rawhide mine, at jamestown,
Cal, who went TO Stockton Saturday
and met woman with whom he had
formerly lived at the mine. No trace OF
her has been found.
Physicians assert that the man was
placed 10 the trunk while yet alive. 1t
is thought that he was heavily drugged
and that the persons responsible, bellev-
ing him dead or dying, resortel to the
trunk TO dispose of the body. There
are no signs of wounds on the corpse.
The trunk was new, and being with
out a check, the baggagemaster expected
some one to call for 1t. No one saw il
delivered. When the hour for closing
the depot Saturday night came, the bag
gage master loaded the body on a truck
and was about 10 wheel it into the house
when he noticed 8 peculiar odor from it.
The coronerwas1notifed, aud the trunk
opened.
The lid few back, and up sprang tht
body of big man about fifty, dresse-
like miner The legs had been drawn
up over the chest and the head forced
down into a corner. The body rested
ON the back. Evidently the man bad
been dead twenty hours.

Suffering in Japan

The misery and suffering in the fam
inc region of Japan has been slightly
relieved by the prompt and liberal aid
from foreign source' and by the abate-
ment of the rigors OF Hiuler.
The local authorities are trying to
provide Work for the able-bOdied, but
the extent Of the work is inadequate,
and thousands are still on the verge OF
starvation.
Many persons are parting with thelT
children, sending them TO the already
crowded Okayoma Ophanage. Several
children arrived Saturday at the Uyeno
railway station, in Toxic. Among them
was a girl years olj, who was found
treasuring a package of dirty, old news
papers. On Examination the package was
found TO contain a postal card, with the
address of the parents of the child, who
had been told to mail the card upon her
arrival at her destination.
The severity of the suffering under

10 the faces Of those who are compelled
to part from their homes, where The food

BAD AS WHITE ELEPHANTS.
Sweden Can't Get Rid Of Troublesome
Gyrsies.

Sweden has a band of gypsies which
it is anxious to give away to any coull.
try desiring an increase in population
The band arrived recently at Malmo
from Denmark, but is originally from
Germany. 1t travelled as far as Lund,
where the police took charge of the
entire party. Efforts were made to de-
port the colony to Denmark and later
to Germany, but each country notified
the Swedish authorities that the gyp.
sizes would not be allowed to land
Now the police do not know what tt.
do. In the entire party of fifty there
are no more than four who could be
classe6 as able bodied, the remainder
being made up of children. of which
there are about thirty, and old people,
including a few who are helpless.
The adults represent themselves as
horse dealers and musicians, but all
are without means, and it is plain that
the strollers intend to live by beggirS
and petty thievery.
