Mobile, Jan. 30.--The first great fire

immense plant of the Alabama Lumber
Company, located on the main line of
the Louisville and Nashville Railroad,
north Of the city limits and about one
third Of mile south of Three Mile

The fire was discovered in a lumber
shed and an alarm was Immediately
given, but before hose could be laid

MAN AND WOMAN ARE
NOW in MOBILE JAIL
HoIdup Grew Out Of Business Differ
ence Between Two Men, Who Were
Interested in Same company-Af.
fair Creates a Sensation.

Mobile, Ala, Jan. Fleetwood
Lester, travelling salesman for the
Southern Supply Company of this city,
and his wife, are in Jail charged with
holding up Hardaway Young, president
of the company, at the point of a re-
volver and robbing him of S5,600.25.
The alleged robbery occurred at the
home of the Testers yesterday after
noon and was sensational in the ex-
treme.
1t is charged that Lester telephoned
to Young to come out to his home on
business connected with the sale of
stock, which Lester owned in the COM
pany. AS soon as Young entered the
Lester home, it is alleged, Lester held
him up at the point of a revolver and
forced him to write an order to his
cashier directing him to pay to Mrs.
Lester $5,600.25, the amount of the
stock which Lester is said to have
owned in the company. Mrs. Lester
took the order to the cashier, who
wrote out a check for the amount, ac-
companied Mrs. Lester to the bank
and identified her and the check was
cashed. Mrs. Lester then returned to
her home, where Young alleges he was
held at the point of revolver during
her absence, and gave the money to
her husband who then advised Young
that he could depart.
Two hours later Young swore out
warrant against Mr.. and Mrs. Lester,
charging them with robbery, Sheriff
Cazalas and three deputies went to the
Lester's home, made the arrests and
lodged the prisoners in the county jaiI.
where they are held without bail. Les
ter and his wife declined to make any
statement.
The affair is said to be the outcome
of recent misunderstanding between
Lester and Young concerning certain
business transactions.

SUPREME COURT TAKES Up
CRIMINAL DOCKET MONDAY

Jackson, Jan. 29.-On Monday the
Mississippi supreme court will take up
the criminal docket, that being the
regular docket for it's consideration, al
though only about half of the civil
docket for the second, or southern, dis
trict, has been disposed of. After the
state docket is finished, which will
probably require two or three days,
the second district docket will be re-
sumed.
Although this seems to be year of
heavy court dockets, the present state
docket, contrary to the rule, is COM
paratively light, while containing
few important cases. There are many
cases before the court, but only on GER
tificates, and are not now ready for
trial, owing to the absence of the
records.
Another large list of decisions is

TO TEST VALIDITY OF
new HIGH SCHOOL Law

Notice OF appeal to the supreme
court has been filed in the injunction
proceeding instituted in the chancery
court of Jasper county to test the val
idity of the agricultural high school
bill passed at the last session of the
legislature.
The case comes up on direct appeal
from the decision of Special Chan
cellor T. H. Oden, who was appointed
to serve in the stead of Chancellor
Sam Whitman, the latter being dis
qualified by reasoin of previous con-
nection with the litigation. In the low
er court the chancellor's ruling sus-
tanned the validity of the statute
and the opinion is general that 1t will
be likewise sustained in the supreme
court.
Briefly stated, the agricultural high
school law permits board of supervis-
ors to establish these schools, make
special tax levy therefor and prescribe
rules and regulations for their govern
ment. When such schools are estab-
lished the state allows $1,000 each for
their sustenance.

Will ESTABLISH HOME
FOR FRIENDLESS GIRLS
in HAIT|ESBURG SOON

Representatives of the Southern
Rescue Home Association are in Hat
tiesburg for the purpose of opening an
asylum for homeless and friendless
girls, and The News has been asked
to give publicity to the following cir
cular:
ITO the Public: We are opening a
Rescue Home in Hattiesburg for home

which we hope to lift up many of

four years have been engaged prin-
cipally in missionary work, and have

the almost universal indifference with
which this line Of work is treated. We
who say we are following Jesus seem
to forget that he went among the
friendless and outcasts as well as the
beloved and respectable. Jesus came
to save the tough as well as those who
are moral. He told the apostles to go
into all the world and preach the gos-
pei to every creature. So we have no
excuse for leaving anyone out. John

JURY in THOMAS
CASE FAILED TO
REACH A VERDICT

The trial of Mr.. Lewis Thomas, pro-
prietor of the Casino Moving picture
show on Pine street, charged with
tampering with the meter of the Hat.
tiesburg Traction Company. which was
supplying his place with light, begun
yesterday morning, resulted this after.
noon in mistrial, the Jury standing,
1t is understood, four for conviction,
and two for acquital.
The trial began yesterday morning
in Judge Hardee's court, and the de-
fendant's counsel asked that a Jury
be enpanelled, and the following we're
drawn: s. R. Gully, ]. w. McDuff, J.
A. McCan. ]. w. Beverly. John o'Brien
and Henry Holmes.
All of yesterday was taken up with
the taking Of evidence for the state,
the prosecution contending that the
defendant in order to save light bills,
disconnected the wires from the meter
and bridged the current over. A
large number of witnesses were ex-
amined on both sides, and the defend
ant stoutly denied the charge.
The Traction Company was repre-
sented by Messrs Currie and currie.
The evidence and the argument OF
counsel was completed this afternoon
about one o'clock, and the case was
at once given to the Jury. After sew
sral hours deliberation the fury fall
ed to agree. and mistrial was order
ed BY the court

expected on Monday, as there are nu.
merous cases which require very lit
tie research now pending in the con-
sultatson room. A member of the su,
preme bench remarked a day or two
ago that there are more small and I'M
important cases now pending, in pro-
portion to the total number, than ever
before within his recollection.
The members of the court are re-
lieved of good deal of laborious work
on the antitrust cases now pending,
by reason of the fact that Judge
Fletcher is disqualified in those cases
and a special judge in each has been
appointed in his stead. The custom of
the court having such special judges
do the work of actually preparing the
decisions takes that much work OF the
shoulders of the justices and gives
them more time on other cases.

BUCK HARVEY
BEFORE BAR
Notorious Blind Tiger Man Civ
en- Heavy Fine and Put
Under $4,000 Bond.
(By J. A. Bishop.)

Collins, Miss. Jan. 30.-Buck Harvey,
a notorious blind tiger dealer is prob
ably the toughest white character ever
known in this section. He has been
defying the law in a high-handed way,
but as often happens, he finally comes
to stand before the bar of justice that
he has SO long evaded.
Buck has given no little uneasiness
and concern to the best people in this
section and the whole community re-
joices that he is now entering upon his
sentence. He gets sixty days on the
county farm with fine Of $1Oe. He
is required to give bond of $1,000
guaranteeing good behavior for two
years.
In sentencing him Judge Bullard
took occasion to give Buck lecture
he should long remember telling him
he had done everything wrong he
could to suppress testimony, attempt
ing to bribe witnesses, and to try to
evade justice, and scathing rebuke
for the lawless life he lived and his
attempt to defy the law in his brazen
disregard for law.
AS soon as Buck completes his pres
ent sentence the court will be ready
to try him again for another grave Of
fence, and by thet ime he finishes with
all the sentences he will have been
taught the lesson that a Mississippi
judge, honest and true, backed by a
Mississippi jury, will not allow the
sanctity of the law to be overriden by
law in their own hands.

MAD SCRAMBLE

IS in PROGRESS

Sheriff Magruder's office for the
past few days has been the scene of
a great scramble to pay taxes before
February 1. Those who have not paid
by that date will lose their right to
participate in the general primaries,
and on this account as we'll as the fear
of extra costs, the number in line has
been large.
There has been an impression ere
ated that it was also after that date
that the sheriff could collect damages,
but as matter of fact the law gives
the shef.ff and tax collectors the
right to collect damages after Dee,

that damages are not collectible, even
