UNCLE SAM TAKES HAND

Admission, June 16.-(Special.) Bunk
Odell and Eugene Wade, the two Ken
tuck Mountain men whose removal
from the Hobson City negro jail We'd
nesday night probably averted a
race riot, have now been made amen
able to the federal authorities by be-
ing served with warrants for violation
of the revenue laws in three counts,
retail liquor dealing, making moonsh1ne
liquor and removing unstamped liquor
from the place of manufacture.
After their pleading guilty Wednes-
day afternoon before Mayor Snow the
men were reincarcerated in the town
calaboose, very insanitary and un-
comfortably small place. 1t is said. In
the evening body of their mountaineer
friends visited the city and made such
demonstrations as to convince the ne
gro mayor that his prisoners would be
unsafe in the jail throughout the night,
as a result of which he telephone to
Sheriff LeGrand, who came down and
carried them to the county jail, where
they are now languishing in default
of the payment Of the fine imposed by
of bond assessed by the United States
authorities.
In addition to the demonstrations
made at Hobson City an armed posse
marched the streets of oxford dur
ing the evening, it is said, and despite
the efforts of Mayor w. r. Norton
to preserve quiet and prevent an at
tack 1t is believed that the jail would
| have been stormed had the prisoners
been kept in the town calaboose anoth-
er night, and in this event race war
would probably have resulted. 1t Is
sa Id that the effort that is being made
to raise the amount of the fines i'm
posed will probably be successful before
Saturday, the limit allowed by Mayor
Snow, and the enforcement of an al
! Tentative street sentence forestalled.
! The latest development in this SEN
sational episode was the serving of q
writ of habeas corpus on Sheriff w.
C. LeGrand this evening commanding
the presentation of Bunk Odell in per-
son before Judge Thomas w. Coleman
| in the city court of Admission tomor-
row morning. The object of this move,
according to Attorney W, P. Acker.
Odell's representative, Is to test the
regularity of the trial and imprison-
ment of the prisoner. Mr.. Acker said
tonight, however. that in view Of the
warrants served by the federal author
tiles, charging the men with violating
the federal statutes, the hateas cor
