Lawless Condition of West Ok
tibbeha.

The grand jury of Oktibbeha at
Starkville, Miss last Saturday
made a report to Judge Mitchell
regarding the lawlessness of the
western portion Of the county, es-
pecial1y near the little town, Stur-
gis, that shows a terrible condi-
ton of affairs. A reign of law
lessness has existed in that sec
ton for many years. Recently
the assassination of the Mayor of
Sturgis and the attempted assassi-
nation of his successor have drawn
public attention to affairs there.
The lawless element-that is, the
active part of it-consists of young
men and boys, though there are
no doubt older ones who wink at,
connive and encourage the young.
These young people sell whiskey,
gamble, disturb religious and
other gatherings with IMMUNITY
and have converted what was
once a peaceful and law-abidine
neighborhood into state of law
lessness fearful to contemplate
The law-defying element are
banded with oaths and terrify
bulldoze and browbeat those who
do not favor their carnival Of
crime until they are afraid to re.
port criminal acts to the Crane
jury.
