indicted by the grand jury last March
for alleged tender or giving of a bride to

No Pardon for McInnis.

Gov. Noel has reached a final con-
clusion in regard to the case Of ex.
Sheriff d. C. McInnis of Simpson
county, petition for whose pardon has
been in the hands of the governor for
some time. The petitioner, as the
court records show, pleaded guilty to
one of several counts in an indictment
against him, charging him with misap
preparation or misapplication of cOun
ty funds, for which he was RESPONSE
BILE, and was given a sentence of n
year in the county Jail, together with
a fine and taxation for costs, which
latter amounted to something like
$1,000. He was afterwards tried on
another indictment OF account,
and was convicted and sentenced to
seven years in the penitentiary, which,
however, was reversed by the supreme
court. Then followed efforts to secure
a remission of the costs assessed
against him, which have been so stout
ly contested that the governor was
constrained to give his decision
against McInnis.

CLOSING IN ON DYKE EDWARDS.
Escaped Convict Closely Pursued by Mis-.
sissippi Officers.

SAooAPpA OAASCAo
Officers are finally on the trail of Dyke
Edwards, who, it is believed, is trying to
make his way out of the state to Bib
county, Alabama.
Edwards escaped from Rankin farm
two weeks ago, and while there was a
reward OF $3.50 for his capture, and, al
though he was seen several times, once
at Philadelphia and later around Sturgis,
Oktibbeha county, where he shot and
killed DIR. A. F. Richardson, no attempt
was made to take him.
Later, it is said, he was Joined by ellis
and his brother, Jim Edwards, and they
have been, for several days, somewhere
between Sturgis and Carrollton, awaiting
the proper time to escape from the state
to Alabama, where Edwards has rela.
tives. A close watch is being kept on the
fugitives, as all three are wanted; Dyke
Edwards to complete a life term in the
p~enitentiary; Jim Edwards to complete a
term in the Oktibbeha county Jail, and
ellis for alleged assault with intent to
kill.
Upon learning the men were still in the
state, Gov. Noel increased the rewards to
$3.50 on the part of the state, which, with
the $50 offered by the trustees of the
penitentiary, makes a total of $500 for
Dyke Edwards capture. This reward
will be paid by the state for Edwards
dead or alive, and any citizen of the
state, after demanding his surrender, un-
der the laws of Mississippi, is authorized
to shoot him down.

JACKSON.
NOEL GETS BOND CIRCULAR.
He Doesn't Think London Bankers
Scheme Has Had Much Effect.

Scheme Has Had Much Effect.
A copy Of the circular recently is
sued by the London corporation Of
bondhoiders urging the New York
stock exchange to blacklist Mississippi
state securities, because Of the alleged
ante-bellum days, has reached the
governors office.
Gov. Noel declines to comment on
the circular except to express the
opinion that it's issuance had nothing
whatever to do with the states failure
to sell 5000, 900 in bonds a few weeks
ago. He attributes the fact that the
bonds were not sold ON account OF the
state of the money market, and the
fact that no state has been able DUR
ing the past six months to negotiate
4 per cent securities.
The London corporation Of bond
holders evidently believes that, by
thus declaring a blacklist on Missls-
sippi securities, it can force the state
to pay the alleged ~repudiated bonds,
issued in the early SOS. The London
financiers are perhaps not aware OF
the fact that the Mississippi constltu-
ton contains a clause prohibiting the
recognition of these alleged securities,
and that public sentiment in this state
would never indorse such an action,
even if it were possible to arrange for
their cancellation without an amend
ment to the constitution.
The principal and accumulated In
teresr of the Planters bank bonds,
computing interest at G per cent for a
period of ~sixty-seven years, amounts
to $1,000, 900, while the principal and
interest of the Union bank bonds
amounts to SIG, $50 ,000, making a
grand total of $50, 100, 900.
