ALSO WON N. 0. & N. E.
SPECIAL $50 Prize
Hattiesburg People Very Much Graft
fled at Splendid Showing Made by
Commercial Club at the Mississippi
Fair.

The Hattiesburg Commercial Club
won first prize for the best agricultural
eyhibit made by the Commercial Clubs
at the State Fair, the judges having
awarded the $3.50 prize Saturday to
the piney woods metropolis. In addi-
ton to this, the New Orleans and
North Eastern special prize of $50 for
the best corn grown within five miles
of that railroad was awarded to Hat
tiesburg. making in all 5000 won by
the Hattiesburg Commercial Club at
the State Fair.
This is indeed gratifying news to
officers and members of the CONNER
cial Club, as well as the entire citizen
ship of Hattiesburg and surrounding
country, in view of the fact that this
was the first exhibit ever sent to the
state fair by this club.
Those who visited the agricultural
displays at the fair state that the Hat
tiesburg exhibit was undoubtedly the
best" not only in point Of variety of
products, but in general excellence
and in the manner in which it was ar
ranged for display. Not even the old
agricultural sections of the state could
approach the piney woods in variety
of products shown, while the quality
was said to be excellent.
The "cut-over territory of South
Mississippi is attracting the atten-
ton of people Of all sections of
the country for its agricultural
possibilities, and many people even
OF this immediate section. who
have lived here for years, have ex-
pressed surprise at the wonderful ad-
vancement made in these lines within
the past two years.
The winning of these prizes by the
Commercial Club will doubtless en-
courage the farmers of Forrest county
to greater efforts in the future. and al
ready talk of county fair for next
year is being heard in business cir
cles.

TRIED TO ESCAPE FROM
OFFICERS AT CITY JAIL
Made a. Dash for Liberty as Deputy
Sheriff and Police Sergeant Were
About to Lock Him Up, but Got Pis-
toI Ball Through His Body.

Edgar G. McGregor, white man,
was shot and probably fatally wound
ed last night between II and u
o'clock, as consequence Of trying to
break away from Deputy Sheriff Ed
Rawls and Police Sergeant Duck
worth, as the latter were about to
lock him up in the city jail on a
charge of larceny. 1t is not positively
known which of the officers fired the
shot which struck McGregor, as sew
eral shots were fired by each.
According to statement made to
News reporter this morning by Depu-
ty Rawls, Albert Ebneter telephoned
the sheriff's office last night, request
ing that an officer be sent to his house,
corner Jackson and Fourth streets,
alleging that he had been robbed.
Rawls answered the call and was in
formed by Ebneter that Edgar c. Nc
Gregor had robbed him of $500.
Ebneter, who was sick in bed, in
formed the officer that McGregor had
called at his house and sat for a while
upon the side of the bed upon which
Ebneter was lying. The latter had
$3S concealed in a shoe, which was
under the side of the bed, and no one
besides McGregor had been in the
room. The $3S was gone when Nc
Gregor left the house, and he was &C.
cused of the theft.
Deputy Rawls, after receiving this
information, went out to look for Nc
Gregor, and after searching number
of resorts in Yellow Pine Park, which
the man was known to frequent, finally
located him in negro drug store
on Mobile street. McGregor, it is
said, was having bully" time with
some negroes in the drug store, -four
ishing money and Setting up" the ne
groes to soda water and cigars.
He was arrested and taken to the
police station, whence he was search
ed, the officers finding concealed upon |
his person $4,000 in greenbacks and
$500 in silver. 1t was decided to
ock the prisoner up in the city jail |
'or the night, and officer Duckworth,
who is night sergeant of police, ac-
Deputy Rawls mith his
prisoner, to the city jail. Just as the
ioor of the Jail was being unlocked,
IcGregor made a lunge for liberty,
md as he did so, stumbled and fell
nto the street, Rawls falling upon
lin. The latter was no match for
lis prisoner, however, and McGregor,
fter dragging the officer several feet
through the streets, finally got away
nd ran up Forrest street. Both Off
ers opened fire, each discharging
heir revolvers several times. Nc
iregor was seen to run in the direc-
ion of the county jail, and was short

The ball which struck McGreg-
r penetrated the small part of his
ack and came out in the lower part
the abdomen, and it is believed the .
ound will prove fatal. He was taken ,
, the South Mississippi Infirmary,
nd his exact condition will not be
