THREATS AGAINST SHERIFF

 Fact That White Outlaws Were Checked by Negroes

Cairo. III, Feb. 1s.-With three com panies of militia guarding the court house and jail, the city settled down tonight to quiet. after a strenuous twcEty-four hours The authorities believe they have the situation well in hand There are many scattered groups of men in the streets near the jail, but no crowd is allowed to con- sregatc.
 Threats have been made against Sheriff Nellis for the killing of Alex ander Halliday. the leader of the mob. by deputies, and for the wounding Of four others in beating back the mob that sought to lynch a negro purse snatcher. but the presence of the sol diers is having a good effect.
 John Pratt, the negro the mob in tended to lynch, and who today was given an indeterminate sentence of not more than fourteen years on each of two charges of robbery. will be taken to prison tomorrow. Pratt's in dictment and sentence took less than half an hour. At o'clock the indict- ment was returned. and in ten min- utes he had pleaded guilty and was sentenced.

The judges instruction. in substance. demanded that the rioters be brought to justice and made to stand trial for rioting.
 Coroner James McManus has called no inquest on the killing of Halliday. He said tonight that he intended to go slowly in his investigation. A stray shot fired by member Of the mob was the direct cause of the vol ley from the deputies guarding the jail. according 10 Sheriff Nellis.
 \ dozen broken windows Of the court house showed the result of the shots fired by the mob. but no seri- ous damage ~as done Nellis received q slight flesh wound on the hand All the deputies escaped injury. Six ne groes were in the party of armed deputies that defended the jail. Nellis had great difficulty in enlistinS depu- ties. and the negroes were impressed. it is said. because he could not get enough white men. Despite this eX plaBation. the sheriff is criticized for deputizing negroes to fire on whites The malcontents are using this in cident as an argument for further demonstrations.
 Mayor Parsons has ordered the ss- looms to remain closed until the dan ger of further disturbance is past.
 The Halliday family, it was said tonight. had retained an attorney to sue the sheriff and the county for da amages. Halliday vas son of for mer Mayor Halliday. He was shot through tho neck and laid on the ground near the court house porch. in q zero temperature. for nearly three hours before Ncllis would permit the militiamcn to remove him to hos pital.
