BRINGS PRISONER HERE
TO ESCAPE MOB

Sheriff j. E. Matthews of Corn
ing arrived in Pocahontas Saturday
afternoon having in custody H. D.
Wilson, whom he turned over to
Sheriff Sam Brown for safe keep
ing.
The crime with which Wilson
is charged is very brutal
one, from the result of which
his wife is now dead and his
stepson is lying at the point of
death. The details of the tragedy
as near as we can gather are that
Wilson went to his home Friday
night taking with him four or five
bottles of intoxicants, including
whiskey, brandy and gallon of
gin, and from the testimony of Effie
Warren, stepdaughter, Wilson
read and drank all night and when
his wife and stepdaughter were get
ting his breakfast he began to curse
and to use abusive epithets to them
and finally threw a pot of boiling
coffee into his wife's face.
Marshal Motsinger, living nearby
hearing the noise went over and
arrested Wilson and started with
him to Jail, and while on his way
found a man who made bond for
his appearance before the mayors
court.
Wilson Immediately returned to
his home and began to abuse his
wife and stepdaughter and in the
meantime his stepson Allie May
narl came in and tried to appease
the mad passions of the infuriated
man, but matters grew worse and
Wilson drew his pistol and fired a
shot at young Maynard, the ball
penetrating the lower part of the
abdomen, entering the bladder,
then turning he shot his wife in the
head Just behind the ear. The
statement was made under oath be.
fore Magistrate SulIns. The
young man stating he felt fatally
wounded.
After the testimony was heard
strong rumors of lynohing IN groups
all around the scene of the tragedy
and all over town. Fortunately
for Wilson, however, Sheriff j. E.
Matthews was on the alert and be-
fore anything could be done in the
way of a mob he got Wilson on a
southbound local train and was
away with him before the crowd
knew it.

Since our last report last week
three more victories have been won
on the local diamond by the never
failing Rexalls.
The first game was played with
the Hamil team Thursday afternoon
and the result was a defeat for the
visitors, the score being 20 to g..
Many costly errors were made on
both sides, but our boys were al
ways and at all times able to take
care of themselves.
The second game was played with
Corning Monday afternoon and was
worse dafeat for the visitors than
the notable l6 to game they played
here several weeks ago. The score
this time was l9 to l.
The third and best game of the
series was played with Maynard
Tuesday afternoon in which some
real classy stunts were pulled off by
both sides. Maynard has splen.
did team and for awhile it looked
as though they were going to win
the game. However in the eighth
inning they went to, pieces, allow
ing seven runs for our boys.
The visitors all behaved them
selves in a very creditable manner
and took their defeats good-natured-
ly, admitting that they had been de-
fested fairly. The Corning boys
stated that they had "enough"-
that Pocahontas "was a Jonah to
them," etc.
