OF Mob to be Summoned
Before Grand Jury.

Cairo, Ills. Feb. 1e.-The grand Jury

ing began at 10 o'clock this morning.

and that they will be compelled to tes-
tify before the grand jury.

sentenced yesterday by Judge William

prison. were hurried to the depot and
out OF town this morning at O'Clock
TO the prison.
Among the prisoners was John
Pratt, the negro purse snatcher, whose
arrest resulted in an attempt to force
the Jail and lynch him yesterday morn
ing with the result that one of the mob
was killed and four others injured.

officials to got the negro out of town
without demonstration were success
full but few people knew of the move
mcnt.

Last night passed quietly and with
out disturbance The streets about the

fila and no attempt to create any kind
of disturbance was reported during the
night

The officials. military and civil. are
apprehensivc of what tonight and to-
morrow may bring forth, however, as
thousands of laboring men Will be
free to roam the streets until Monday
morning as the shops and factories
here close at 2 o'clock on Saturdays.
Removal of the prisoners from the
jail VIII prevent further attacks In
that quarter. 1t is believed. but 1t is
feared the animosity of the disturb
ing element toward tho negroes, who
assisted Sheriff Nellis in defending the
Jail yesterday morning, may bring
about attacks upon negro property.
The militia was scattered about tho
city at noon and streets will be pa
trolled by squads OF militiamen under
orders to prevent any disturbance and
10 break up Immediately any crowd
that may collect.
Animosty toward Sheriff Nellis has
died down TO large extent since tho
coroner's autopsy last night disclosed
that young Halliday's death was per-
haps instantaneous.
Hallidays funeral will be held to-
morrow afternoon and may be the
occasion of a demonstration. de-
tachment of militia will attend.
