The Semi-weekly leader. (Brookhaven, Miss.) 1905-1941, 1911-09-13
This Morning on Daugh-
ter Of Marion Fur.
CAPTURED AND HUR-
RIED TO HAZLEHURST
Constable Henry Momack Has Hard
Time Eyadine Aroused Citizens
and Reaching BrOokhayen.

I l1
Lawson Davis, young negro %
years of age, was brought into Jail
this morning by Constable Henry
Womack, of Beat 2. the black be-
ing charged with attempted crlm-
inal assault on the young daughter
of Marion Furr, a farmer who lives
II miles northeast of Brookhaven.
The negro had narrow escape
from Judge Lynch at the scene Of
the crime. and it was only by the
alertness of the constable that he is
still alive, the officer scurrying
around through the woods for sew
eral miles with his charge in an
effort to outwit his pursners. He
managed to catch a Mississippi
Central Railroad passenger train
for BrooKhaven at Woolworth and
reached the sheriff's Office here
safely.
After hurried consultation with
Judge D. M. Miller. who is hold
ing the June term Of circuit court
and Sheriff Estus 6. Smith, it was
decided the safest thing to do was
to get the negro out of Brookhaven
at once. as Womack stated 40 or so
men from the immediate neighbor-
hood were certain to follow.
At 10 o'clock this morning. 20
minutes after arriving, Sheriff
Estus Smith and Deputy Sheriff
Robt. J. Scott left in the Sheriff's s
auto for HazIehurst. where the
negro will be placed in Jail.

Republicans Hear Returns.


The Republican leaders received returns
at the headquarters in West 29th street. In
the inner office with President Koenig were
Nathan Ottinger, candidate for the Su-
preme Court bench; John Henry Hammond,
Mrs. Herbert Parsons (Mr. Parsons is on
his way west) ogden l.. Mills treasurer
Of the committee, and Mrs. Mills; Lloyd
G. CiriscOm. former president Of the county
committee, and Mrs Griscom; Otto T. Ban
nard. James r. Sheffield. former treasurer
Of the committee; Chairman Wilcox Of the
Public Service Commission, Senator George
g. Agnew and others.
The first returns that came In soon after
o'clock were favorable. Then came
long period where the returns showed the
fusion ticket running from 1000 to l2,Wo
behind the Tammany ticket. When the
Assembly district leaders began TO send In
their returns the news was more favor
able.
II was evident that the former returns
had been from Tammany districts, and that
the large apparent majority for Tammany
was to bo cut down steadily. The great
est interest developed in seeing the prog
rese Of the reduction in the Tammany plu-
rallty.
b W. 3. Brown. former Republican lead
or Of the Board of Aldermen, was particu-
larly jubilant al this. THE Republicans In
New York County have never had so many
as twenty aldermen before he said ITO
lose the board is greater blow at the lead

John T. Hopper. chairman Of the County
Committee OF the independence League,
made the following statement:

A girl of beautiful brunette type,
She was radiantly lovely in a mag
nifcent robe of chiffon over ivory
satin trimmed with silk fringe

pearls and looped at each side with
tiny rosebuds. She wore bridal
veil and carried shower bouquet
of bride roses in her arms.
The matron of honor was gown
ed white embroidered marquisette
over pink. satin and carried bou-
quet Of pink carnations.
Mr.. Horton Burr of St. Paul,
brother of the groom, acted as best
man. Folling the plighting of the

ceived the congratulations and
best wishes of all present. The

CITY COUNCIL
DOING BUSINESS
Several Ordinances Consid-
ered.---Clty Ioes from Warrant
to Bond Basis, and Contractors
can Now Bid Better.---Home
People Favored.

The city council at their last
meeting did some business which
is of considerable local interest.
A provisional ordinance was
passed covering special improve
ment district No. 8, relative to
street grades outlined last year.
This means that those streets with
cement walks be brought to grade.
A hearing is set for Sept. 13, fol-
lowing publication.
BY the new ordinance, as pro-
posed by the council, change is
made from a warrant to bond
basis. The First National Bank
of Libby agrees to take all bonds
and contractors may figure on
cash basis. Investors very much
prefer the bond system to the old
regime of an issuance of warrants,
and we may expect a considerable
saving to the city from the change
of system.
Contractors are asked to bid on
parking IN the residence and also
on wooden curbing.
An ordinance was passed at the
same meeting making it misdem-
enuors for contractors to employ
other than heads of families or Citi-
zens of Montana on city work.
An other ordinance passed pro-
hibits the picketing of horses or
other live stock on the city streets.
