It was true that some of the bird

loaded had struck something and
been DETECTED. Two of them were
buried in the quilted hood, and two

had struck Miss Dolly as she raised
her face. and that was In the center
of the chin. 1t had not penetrated
deeply. AS matter of fact, she dug
it out with her finger nail on the way

criminal assault committed upon a
white girl eight months ago. Troops,
300 OF them, brought Mack to Bran.

took him away again. He was taken
to Vicksburg, where he is to remain
in jail until July 90, the date set for

trial of its kind ever held Ia the State.
Mack was caught near Senatobia
four weeks ago. While being brought
to Brandon lie was taken from dep
uty sheriff by officers of the State
militia, Gov. Noel having issued this
order, fearing that the negro would
be lynched. Mack was placed In jail
and the State officials refused to say
where he was being kept. When the
date of the trial was set, "a special
term of court being decided upon to
try Mack Gov. Noel again took Q
hand In the affair and issued orders
to the effect that the negro would be
given every protection Of the law and
that troops would bring the prisoner
to Brandon and look after his well
fare at all hazards. The Governor
did this, he explained, to prevent the
possibilities Of mob taking the Law
Ia its own hands before . trial could
be held.

INDIAN OPERA P0WnArAN,

The presentation Of the above named
play on Thursdsy and Friday evenings
Of last week al Anderson Park Casino
on the beach for the benefit OF g. Johns
Episcopal church Of this city was one Of
the most interesting and instructive
forms Of entertainment ever presented
10 our people and evidenced the high
standard OF Mr.. Albert l.. Baker as q
player, under whose direction the entire
program was managed and so success
fully executed. The chorus OF some
twenty-five young ladies as indian
maidens. twenty young men as war
riors, and ten characters, reinforced by
about one hundred children, boys, girls
and misses, as little braves, all In at
tractive and beautiful Indian costumes,
was beyond doubt the most pleasing
sight that ever charmed the eye Of the
amusement loving public. The scenery
used for the occasion was In keeping
with the time In which the play was
enacted In reality. The electrical ef-
fects were splendid; in fact, every thing
connected with the entertainment wae
all that the most exacting could desire
OF the characters taking part In the
opera we must say that they, one and
all, executed their respective roles with
an accuracy and grace becoming old
| stsgers.
The gross proceeds from the two en-
tertainments was something over 5000
and after all expenses were paid st
Johns church received $50 for its share
which, considering all things, is easily
reckoned as one OF the most successful
benefits ever given in this place.

CASE Or MOSS POINT BANKER
REVERSED.

Jackson, Miss, June n, Igo.--The or.
pectod happened when the supreme
court, AT its sitting this afternoon, an.
nounced favorable finding IN the case
of !. w. stewart, tho Moss Point
banker, who appealed from q conviction
Of receiving deposits In an insoIvent
bank, knowing the same to be so insol-
vent, and was sentenced by Judge
Hardy, IN the jackson county court, to
a 1--WE year term In the penitentiary.
The opinion In the case was handed
down by Justice Smith, and the reversal
was based on one instruction, No. O.,
which was given for the State. The
gist Of this instruction was that even II
the jury believed that at the time the
defendant received the deposit he did
not know "or have good reason to be-
iieve" the insolvency OF the Scranton
bank was due to failure to use reason
able diligence in making proper in
vestigation, and that there were cir
cumstances known to him which II In
vestigated would have afforded him
good reason TO believe the bank TO be
insolvent, and so knowing he received
the deposit as charged, on the Oath day
Of July, 1905, then II was the duty OF the
jury to find the defendant guilty as
charged in the Indictment For this in
struction the court could find no war
rant In statute or precedent and GER
tainly not In the Rourke case, from the
same county, as the record contained nc
such instruction. On the strength oil
the fatal error In the foregoing in
struction, the case must be reversed
without taking up any other Of tht
seventy odd exceptions. The appellant
Stewart, was seated in the chamber
when this opinion was rendered, and ar
expression OF Intense qualification IL
lumined his features, and with hi
friends he shortly afterwards left tn,
I courtroom.
