Only the quick removal of the prisoner
thru the back way prevented a second
case of lynch law in the state, and
the negro was brought here for safe
keeping.
The Jail here was guarded last night
by number of deputies as it was fear

seize both Grimes and thinner, who is
held here with him for the crime. 1t

Mr. De Ford also recommended that

board of trustees thinks that a school
