HER MANCLED BODY FOUNO IN RAVlNE
Young Girl Assaulted and Killed Near
LouisviIIe-Mob Threatens
Farmer.

Louisville, Miss.-SWinton Fermen'
ter, a young farmer, is under arrest,
two other men are being sought by
posses and a lynching of the man IN
custody was threatened throughout
Friday night as a sequel to the assault
and killing of Miss Jennie Sharpe, a
daughter of a prominent planter.
Miss Sharpe left her home Friday
to go to Rural Hill, the nearest post
office, for the days mail. Not return
ing at nightfall, searching parties
were formed and after an all-night
search her body was found in a small
ravine, the throat cut, head battered
and evidences of mistreatment OF a
most revolving nature apparent, Cir
cumstantial evidence led to the arrest
of Fermenter and despite his protests
of innocence, he was brought to
Louisville and imprisoned.
When the arrest of the man became
known mob began to gather, hourly
increasing in numbers, but at a late
hour had failed to put into execution
their threats of lynching, presumably
for the lack of leader.
Posses are searching for the others
believed to have had a part in the
crime.
The two others sought in connection
with the killing, farmers, named Cim'
Minis and Burkfeld, were captured
Saturday and lodged in the Jail with
Fermenter. Threats of lynching be-
came so persistent, however, that it
was deemed advisable to remove the
men to another jail for safe keeping.

COTTON DROPPED TO 81. 50 Per BALE
Reports of Covering by Short Interest
in That Option Caused Sem
sational Decline.

New York.-The cotton market was
sensationally active and excited on
Tuesday and prices declined even
more rapidly than they had recently
advanced under general heavy liquida-
ton and aggressive selling for short
account. At the low point July showed
a net loss Of 81 points and August
of 50 points, but the close was lit
tie up, although the final tone was
barely steady at a net decline of IA
to IS points.
After selling at 16.41 early, July
broke to 1855 without a single sale,
while only a few thousand bales chang
ed hands during the entire morning.
This represented a loss from the
closing quotation Of Monday OF over
S4 a bale and a decline Of about $4.5O
per bale from the high point.

BODY Of NEGRO DRAGGED IN STREETS
At the Heels of a Horse to Spot
Chosen BY the Mob and
Burned to Ashes.

Bolton, Textile dead body Of Hen
ry Gentry, an 1S-yearold negro, was
burned to ashes in Bolton Friday al
ter being dragged around the public
square and to the spot where the
burning was carried on.
Friday morning about o'clock Gen
try attempted to get into the home
of a white woman, a widow, who, with
her daughter, lives alone. The daugh-
ter saw the negro and shot at him,
missing him, and the negro ran away.
Neighbors phoned to Constable jim
Mitchell, who came, but could lind no
one. A pair of shoes and hat were
found beneath the window, Mitchell
went after bloodhounds to make a FUR
Their search.
While he was away the negro re-
turned with a shotgun. AS the officer
passed the negro shot him from be-
hind tree, hitting him in the back.
Mitchell fell from his horse, and lived
only a few minutes, but told those
around him before dying who did the
killing.
AS soon as possible officers and
citizens went in search of the negro,
who had escaped. Hounds would not
trail the negro. By s o'clock Friday
morning people had arrived from eV'
cry direction, and posses, well organ
lied, went in all directions. A little
before noon the negro was traced on
his way to ShalloWfOrd, three miles
from Bolton. Posses centered at that
point, and the negro was seen in tall
Johnson grass at Sle edge of a corn
field, but was lost in the woods.
Sheriff D. C. Burkes, his deputies
and five hundred citizens surrounded
the field. They could not see the ne
gro. but closed in on the field and
came across him about half way
across the field. He was called on to
surrender and refused. Two we'll
aimed bullets from the officers pis
tolls surrendered him.
A citizen threw rope around his
neck, and he was quickly dragged te
the open. He was brought to the city
in a wagon, and when the public
SQUARE was reached another rope was
+brovrn around his neck and he was
dragged around the public square
naked, behind a horse in a dead rur
to a SPOT where wood, coal, oil, etc.
were in readiness. The match was
applied, and the negro was burned.

Great Heroism Shown.
The toll of death. it is believed,
would have been larger had it not been
for the heroism displayed both by the
officers and men in the battery. The
wounded forgot their hurts and aided
the uninjured in stamping ont the
burning powder that threatened the
sacks in which the charge for a sec.
ond shot had been burnt up. Captain
| Prentice reached the amplacement
| first and before looking into the ex.
tent Of the damage he pushed his way
| through the smoke and sparks and
carried out large bag of powder. He
was then joined by HAYES and the two
completed the task Of averting a fur
Their explosion. The theory is that
the new charge Of powder was hur'
ried into the breech before the gasSes
generated by the previous shot had
time to dissipate, and before the
breech could be closed the powder ex.
pIoded, blowing off the block and car.
rying death with it.
