pany for manslaughter, late Saturday
afternoon criminally assaulted Mrs. Jo-
seph White, aged 20 years, and was
lynched by a mob of seventy-five men
outside the limits of Bay Minette last
night.
The assault occurred at the woman's
home, six miles below Loxley. Clayton
entered the house, it is said. and choked
Mrs White into submission.
The negro returned to the convict
camp, where he was arrested last Sat
urday night. The negro told the Off
GERS not to take him back to the scene
of the crime, as he committed it and
il was not necessary to have him iden-
titled. Two officers hurried him to
Bay Minette, county seat of Baldwin
county. AS they approached the jail
seventy-five men camel rom behind a
fence and took charge of the negro,
dragging him and the deputy seventy
five yards before it was discovered the
men were handcuffed together. The
deputy was then released and the ne
gro carried away.
The negro has not yet been found.

BIG FIGHT IN MICHIGAN.
Fourteen Counties to Vote on Local
Option Question Today.

Detroit, April 5.-Fourteen counties
in Michigan will vote on the question
of local option tomorrow. They are as
follows:
Cass, st. Joseph, Kalamazoo, Oak
land, Clinton, Barry, Gratiot, Gladwin,
Osceola, Wexford Missaukee, Grand,
Traverse and Oceana.
The anti-saioon forces picked these
counties to make the fight this spring,
owing to the fact that all are largely
agricultural centers. where prohibition
sentiment is generally considered to be
stronger than in cities.
Kalamazoo, in Kalamazoo county,
and Pontiac, in Oakland county, are
the largest cities in the fourteen coun-
ties. In Kalamazoo betting is strong
Iy in favor of the "wets," and wet
sentiment is said to be responsible for
the heaviest registration in years at
Pontiac.
Regulation of saloons was also the
dominant feature of the campaign at
Jackson. party lines being obliterated.

ergy than ever before. In probably
three fifths of the towns of the state,
including all the larger places, saloons
are now allowed to run, but as a re-
suit of next Tuesdays elections the
prohibition element is sanguine of a
sweeping reduction in the traffic. Al
Lincoln, the state capital, a special
election will be held Tuesday, al
which the question of prohibition
authorities have pledged rule, if pro-
hibition is defeated. which will permit
open saloons during daylight hours

poles and drew up the sophomores' lad
ders as fast as they were placed One

was twenty feet in the air before he
dropped
