 mainly on the probate judge and sheriff. A strong campaign committee has been appointed in each beat in the county for the purpose of putting up as hard fight as possible. It is fact that this com

 Chief Deputy Charles Oakley left for the scene of the lynching early this morning and as soon as the news reached him of the affair, but every thing had quieted down and 1t is not thought that he will be able to get any clues to the members of the mob.
