denhall. The special was stopped at
 bio, about three miles this side o1
 Mendenhall, where the governor was advised that Sheriff McInnis had the negro in the swamp half-mile from the town. The militia were marched
 to the place and took charge of the negro. Sheriff McInnis stated that he had been lodging the mob since 4 o'clock this morning, that the mob had conscripted all of the horses and riding animals for miles around and were securing the country in every direction. The negro, Will Robinson is still being pursued. Gov Vardman certainly displayed level head in this exciting case. Placing the prisoner in a jail would have been a mistake, for the jail could not have withstood the mob. Taking to the woods with the prisoner, in accordance with the gov ernor's advice, undoubtedly saved the day for law and order, although victo- ries for law and order under such cir cumstances are somewhat thumiliating. Yet the one wise and successful course was pursued; for the flight of the sheriff and his prisoner gave the gov ernor time to come up with reinforce ments. When Fifer had been saved from the mob, the governor published this statement: 'I wish to publicly express my thanks in the name of the state to Sheriff McInnis and the men who so bravely assisted him in their efforts to uphold the majesty of the law. The life of no criminal, however black or d1abolical he may be, should be put above the law"

The University Club of Litchtield County has again arranged an attrac. tive oratorical contest for boys in the public, grammar, high or private schools of Litchfield county. Three prizes of s25, S15 and s10 are offered and they are prizes worth striving for. The prizes will be awarded in gold coin, each prize enclosed in a handsome morocco case, suitably stamped with date and inscription, which will make beautiful souvenir of the event for a life time. The conditions of the con- test are as follows:
 l. Any boy in the county, in school or out, twenty years old or younger, may compete: but if he is merely a temporary resident of the county, he must be member of some Litchfeld county school.
 2. Applicants are requested to write an oration, not exceeding 1900 words. It is to be signed with fictitious name and to be forwarded to MT Goddard on or before April7. A second envelope should accompany, it having the fic- titious name on the outside and the real name and postoftice address with in.

TIDE PREVENTED
TARGET SHOOTING
RUNAWAY TO SCOW WAS WASH
ED AWAY, so TARGETS COULD
NOT BE PLACED AT NEW RANGE

Had it not been for very heavy tide
last week, the new butts of the Ma
tional Guard and marine corps off Ke-
walo would have been tried today by
marksmen from the various organiza-
tions.
The butts are to be located on an old
scOw sunk about six hundred yards off
the shore under the direction Of Cap
tain Sam Johnson of the National
Guard. The scow is 1000 yards Waikiki
from the outfall sewer pumping sta
ton. A little runaway had been built
from the shore out to the scow, to en-
able the caretaker to go to the butts
and attend to placing the targets in
position. IT had been planned to have
the first trials over the range today,
but the tide washed out about two hum
bred yards of the runaway, so it was
impossible for the caretaker to reach
the scow except by wading through the
mud. The shooting was abandoned fol
today. intermediate ranges Of 400 and
900 yards are to be built. No firing
boxes have been erected yet and the
range is far from completion.
