out at noon yesterday in the big saw
mill of the w. c. Wood Lumber Com
pany, and in a short time the mill, one
OF the largest in the State. had gone

strong south wind to save the dry
kiln, planer mills and lumber yards,
and succeeded in doing so.

EXCITING Scenes
ON THE SADIE Lee
Clash Imminent Between State and
Federal Laws When Deputies With
Warrant Boarded the Boat-Captain
and Men Arrested.
Special to The NetCS.


Greenville, Miss, May ia new
state law, backed up by pistols in the
hands of deputy sheriffs, was at least
temporarily enforced yesterday when
a raid was conducted Oh the barroom
Of the steamer Sadie Lee, while il
was tied at the local wharf. Her
captain, William L. Stapleton, with
the two bar-tenders, Walter Town
send and Ed Farrell, were placed un-
der arrest. and the wines, beer and
liquor on the boat seized. The raid
caused a sensation, and it is freely
stated that a dispute between the
state and national laws is involved in
the case, and that the matter will not
be finally settled until it reaches the
United States supreme court.
1t is the claim of County Prosecu
tor William Bay Tooms. who swore
out the warrants upon which the raid
was made, that the boat has been in
the habit of landing above and below
the city, taking on crowds and sell
ing them liquor while the boat was in
mid-stream. A law passed by the last
legislature gave middle of the chan
mel concurrent with the same iurisdic-
ton held by the state of Arkansas.

and N. Y. Weaver, the engineer, re-
ceived injuries which may result in
his death. He was brought to a local
hospital.

Many Buy Liquor.

Several hundred negroes awaited
the boat to make their liquor purchas-
es. When the boat landed deputies
armed with warrants boarded the
boat and placed the captain and bar
tenders under arrest. The men were
taken before Justice O'Brannon,
where a bond of $1,000 was effected
pending the trial of the three next
Saturday morning.
Deputies were left abord who gave
orders that the liquor be unloaded. A
counter order was issued to unite the
boat and ship to the Arkansas shore
which would have kidnapped the depu-
ties and rendered them without au-
thority. When the rousters started to
draw in the stage plank they looked
the officers and desisted in their eff
forts
In the meantime, Captain Stapleton
and the bar-tenders returned and
again the orders were given to pull
out. For the second time the depu-
ties flashed guns and prevented a
kidnapping. The captain then decided
to capitulate and the barroom was
broken into and the liquors removed.
Two wagons full of intoxicants were
taken to the county Jail.
Warrants hae also been issued for
the arrest of Captain Gus Nimtz, the
bartender and two negro assistants
on the steamer Stephen B. Duncan.
