month ago, was found on the river
front today by a negro boy. The
watch was turned over to L.uis Ad-
Ter, who carried it to Jackson to- rela-
tives OF the missing man.
Brame came to this city on legal
business and the last seen OF him was

night was extremely warm and

to the river bank to cool off, and
took book along with him to read.

ticient light to read by.
This was the last seen or heard
of him The river was dragged and
every clew followed to the end, but
no trace could be found of him. The
finding of the watch confirms suspi-
cions of suicide. Brame was a very
quiet man, of very exemplary habits.
and no good reason could ever be
given for his disappearance He hal
no enemies, and the belief that he was
murdered could not be verehed.

DEPUTIES HAVE HARD TIME
WITH NEGRO PRISONER
JUMPS THROUGH CAR WINDOW
At Clarksdale to Escape Mob-Shots
Lay Him Low and He is Finally
Taken to Cleveland for Safekeep-
ing-Passengers Panic Stricken.

Cleveland. Miss, Sept 24-Deputy
Dooley. of Coahoma, Coahoma coun-
" arrived here tonight on the south
bound Memphis New Orleans train
with a negro named Anderson, who
took shot at white man at Goa
HON some time ago. Feeling against
the negro was so high that the deputy
sheriff and six deputies were taking
hfn to Clarksdale for safekeeping
This fact was tclephoned to friends
at Clarksdale, and it was learned,
while en- route, that mob was wait
ing there to ly%-h the negro so he
was taken below that place to Cleve-
land. While the train was going at
about fifteen miles an hour Just be-
fore reaching Clarksdale, the negro
jumped from the train, while hand
cuffed, turning a somersault through
the window. He was sitting next
the aisle in the smoking car, and in
making his jump through the window
was compelled to leap over one Of
the deputies in the party.
The negro landed on the back Of
his shoulders and ran about one hun
dred yards when one OF the shots Of
the deputies struck him in the back,
and his capture was soon affected.
Sheriff Dooley plunged through
the window after the negro. In all
about twelve or fifteen shots were
fired after the fleeing man.
A mob was waiting for the party
at Alligator Lake, and it was neces-
sary to take the negro to Cleveland,
further down the road By some
clever work on the part OF the depu-
ties, the mob at Alligator Lake<was
eluded. 1t looked at one time as if
the deputies were up against hard
proposition to take their prisoner to
Cleveland Sheriff Dooley had not
sufficient funds to carry the party
10 Cleveland and borrowed the money
from Dr. Ray, OF Deson, to carry
them on.
The train was met at Cleveland by
a posse OF deputies and the negro
taken in charge and safety lodged
in the county jail 1t is impossible
to describe the pandemenium that
reigned on the train when the negro
attempted his daring escape. In the
excitement car windows were brok-
en-, and there was much lodging be
hind seats to hide from the stray
bullets that might fly around. Hall
the passengers were asleep and their
sudden awakening was anything b1t
a plea santry TO them
