Chief of Detectives Joe Leal has
doubled the price of opium. The
poppy-dope has gone up from $3.50
per half pound tin TO $25, and this
because of the apprehension of several
leading Chinese merchants who were
selling the dream-drug without a Ii
cense.
Police agents, making inquiries,
have ascertained that tin of sleep
paste cannot now be obtained in this
city for less than $25.
l.. All Leong and Lom Kui both
pleaded guilty to the opium charges
in police court this morning and were
each fined $50 and costs. Other defen-
dants pleaded not guilty and their
cases were put over until Friday OF
this week.

This last Legislature authorized an
issue of 100000 for public improve

YAZOO CITY, Miss, April 12.--
Horace Montgomery, negro, was
hanged Sunday morning in the SUI
burbs of this city. Although his orig
inal offense was a comparatively triy.'
ial one, he showed such desperate
viciousness that he provoked his fate.
The negro was under contract to make
a crop, which he broke and came TO
Yazoo City. His employer got war
rant for him and sent Mr.. Russell,
the constable, to arrest him. He re-
sisted arrest, taking RusselPs pistol
from him, and would have killed him,
but for the intervention of a woman.
The negro escaped those who went in
search by going into the back water
of the river under negro cabin, and
remaining until after night, when he
escaped and went about seven miles
east and stopped with negro on
Ben Rusche's place. He remained
there three or four days, when an
other negro reported the matter TO
the sheriff and conducted the sheriff
with posse of ten or twelve men to
the place. Montgomery had exchang-
ed Russell's pistol for shotgun, and
was up dressed and had his pockets
full Of shells at 10 o'clock Saturday
night when the posse reached him.

made. When Mr. Sorrell and Deputy
Sheriff Wheatley opened the door he
threw his gun on them and fired.
But the negro guide knocked his gun
up and at once caught him. He was
overpowered and brought into subjec-
ton. He told them to finish him and
end it. He was defiant and not scar
ed in the least. The sheriff and his
posse placed him in Jail at 2 O'Clock
Sunday morning to await the trial.
All went home and the jailor went 70

on his door, He slightly opened his
door and asked who was there. Some
one grabbed him by the arm and he
was suddenly overpowered and held
down until others got the keys, took
the negro out and were gone. AS soon
as released he aroused the sheriff,
who responded, but he coud find no
one. The mob very quietly carried
the negro a mile east of town, hune
him to a tree and left him. Every
thing was so quietly that no one

ance. While the Easter services were

Early History
HON. III. T. ANDREWS
HON. III. T. ANDREWS

killed wild turkey i'm the timber
where Walter Temple lives in Extra
township. There were timber wolves
here in early times Several lynx
have been killed here to my know
ledge and there were some wild cats
here when | first came.
Some people thought they had seen
and heard signs OF panther but have
never discovered a positive case OF
panther. There We're more or less
otter in the rivers until recent years.
Prairie chickens were plentiful at all
seasons and in the earlier times could
easily be found and killed without
dogs. Many We're trapped in the
winter ! have seen them in the
trees along tie borders of the timber
in winter when snow was on the
ground by hundreds and thousands.
The deer disappeared in recent
times. | know that three deer
stopped over night and bedded in the
timber not thirty rods west of the de-
pot in Extra since the advent of the
railroad.
| killed several deer during the first
few years of residence here. The
first wild deer / ever saw was in
1865. | was at Uncle John jenkins
place on business and rode out on the
prairie horseback with George Jen-
kinS to find some cattle. We jumped
up half a dozen deer in brush patch
which scampered off in several direc-
lions. We appeared to have gotten
into their midst before they ran away.
| had a large Colts cavalry revolver
with me but was SO much excited at
sight of the deer that | forgot my
gun entirely until they got away.
Upon returning to the house | related
the adventure to Mr.. Jenkins who
consoled me by remarking: "Wel
sir, it is a mighty poorly sight to the
eye of the hunter, but you had the
Buck Ager. I've had it myself be-
fore now and had to bite my finger
Till it hurt like the very devil to
steady my nerves. " | thought it a
novel method Of quieting excitement
but do not remember of ever practic-
ing it. The theory seemed to be that
the pain of the gnawed finger eN-
ceeded the NERVOUSNESS produced at
the sight of big game. My experience
is that old hunters sometimes become
excited at the sight OF game.
In the year 1868 / took thirty sad
dies of venison to Des Moines from
Audubon county.
