A company of state militia ar

prevented the destruction of the Jail
and the lynching of the negro pris-

The sheriff first learned last night
that there was some talk of an at
tempt to take the prisoners from the
Jail to lynch them. Nellis then got
word to Governor Deneen by tele-
graph of the rumors of the plans Of
attack and asked the governor to
send the troops. Deneen promised
to do so and told the sheriff to use
every effort to preserve order and
save his prisoners.

The remainder probably will not be

Born in Edgfield county, South Car
olina, on August IL, 1S47, his early
days were spent on the plantation
of his father, Benjamin R. Tillman,
a planter. Young Tillman received
an academic education, and at the
outbreak of the civil war Joined the
confederate forces. He was, howev-
er, stricken with a severe illness
shortly after his enlistment, which
caused the loss of his left eye, and
invalided him for two years, so that
he saw no active military service.
In 1868 he was married to Sallie
Stark, and for Is years followed farm
ing as his sole pursuit. In 1886,
however, he came into local promi-
nence as an agitator for various re-
forms, including industrial and edu-
cational forms of various kinds.

Cairo, Ills, Feb. 1S.-Grave
fears are expressed here that race
war will break out here tonight as a
result of the killing of Alexander
Halliday, one of the most prominent
young men of the city, when a mob
of white men attacked the Jail last
night in an effort to lynch two ne
groes.
1t is reported that mobs are form-
ing across the Ohio river In Ken
lucky and preparing to invade this
city and attack the negro popula-
tion.
An ominous quiet prevails in the
town today but there was an under
current of fierce indignation on the
part of the many persons who SYM
pathized with the mob.
Statements that Sheriff Nellis
made a fatal mistake when he or
dered his officers to fire into the
mob of white men who were attack
ing the Jail, were made freely today.
The mob sympathizers can scarce
ly be Teconciled TO the shooting
down of white men in protection Of
negroes, whom, in their frenzy of
anger, they considered had forfeited
their lives by attacking white wo-
men.
Alexander Halliday, son of for
mer mayor of Cairo, who was killed
by a deputy sheriff while leading the
mob, lay in the snow nearly four
hours before he was picked up by
militia men today.
Halliday was dead when found
but his body was still warm and
physicians here indicated their be-
lief that he probably could have sur

the clash.
Sheriff Nelis said that he believed
Halliday was dead and told Cover
nor Deneen so. Upon this he says
the governor ordered him to bar
everyone from entering the precincts
Of the Jail.
The anger of the citizens is
aroused over what they deem the
,ruel neglect of Halliday, whom
they believe might have been saved
had men been permitted to go to his
lid.
They are also aroused over the re-
bort that FIVE negro deputies, in the
Iervice OF Nellis, fired indiscrimin-
ltely at everyone who passed the
Jail during the fight.
The leaders OF the mob are re-
ported to have been prominent club
mon afiiliated with the best business
ma social interests of the city. II
