rengo county ever since YESTERDAY

From report received here IT is stat
ed that the negro was captured within
| about two miles at Consul by S: y
Parrish Another report received mere
from Thomaston states that Glover was
captured near there at small place
called Prentice.
The exact locality of the captured
negro is being kept secret as the feet
ing of the people In that SETON Is In
but little doubt If his whereabouts
were known that the citizens would
make determined effort to take the
negro from his captors and deal out
punishment to him by hanging him &c
the nearest tree. 5r
1t Is understood here that several
posses of citizens have been searching
the woods around Consul ever since
These posses spent last night in the
woods and resumed the hunt at day
light.
From reports received here from Con-
sui 1t seems that Mr.. Parrish was alone
when he captured the negro, Glover
was armed with two pistols when cap
tured and Parrish came upon him un-
aware or he might have been killed by
the desperate negro.
After his capture Parrish left him In
charge of friends and since then has
been trying to locate officials of the
county so as to deliver the prisoner. IL
mob does not get the negro and lynch
him tonight, It is believed that he will
be brought to Selma tomorrow morning
for safe keeping.

brought to Selma from Consul this
morning. over the Louisville and Nash

place this afternoon. The citizens
around Consul have offered a reward
of about $500 for the capture OF Ed.

J Jewelry Thieves Tried.
In police court this morning several
cases which grew out of the tray of
store of E. H. Hobbs last Tuesday
morning were tried. the court room
was crowded all during the session: :.
Mack Wheeler and Arthur and All
Banks had warrants against them for
grand larceny while against Young
Middleton. ALT English and Charley
Harris there were warrants charging
them with receiving or concealing
. H. t,aNA nj
returning the same to it's owner.
This charge against Young Middle
ton and ALI English was proven and
they were found guilty but the SEN
tence in the case was held up until
the prosecuting attorney could investl-
gate the law. 1t was proven that these
two negroes had six of the rings stol-
en- but that only four of them could
be found where they had been hidden.
These rings found were valued at over
$25 and the question arose as to
whether they could be made to pay a
fine to the city and then be bound
over to the grand jury.
In the case against Charley Harris,
Mack Wheeler one of the thieves tes-
titled that he had given him one OF
the rings. Wheeler's statement was
not believed and the case against
Charley Harris was nolle pressed.
Upon two charges of grand larceny
Mack Wheeler waived examination and
was bound over to await the action OF
the next grand jury. The sentence in
the cases against ALT and Arthur
Banks for grand larceny were held UP
to await the construction of the law
by the prosecuting attorney in the
cases against Middleton and English
A third charge of grand larceny was
had against Mack Wheeler. Last week
he entered the jewelry store of the
Schweizer- Bewig Company on Broad
Street and stole a gold watch worth
SITS In this case he also waived ex-
animation and was bound over to await
the action of the next grand jury In
the sum of $50. This watch he sold
to Ed Henry for 1915. Ed Henry was
in court charged with receiving and
concealing stolen property. knowing
that it had been stolen. This case
was dismissed, as it was shown that
as soon as he found out that the watch
had been stolen he gave it up.
