J. D. BROWN
in Tolls OF Law
burg-Charged With False
Pretenses.

Prentiss, Miss, April S.-"Doctor"
J. D. Brown, soft, suave and debonair,
otherwise an all-around good ladies'
man, is in the tolls of law. How he
pans out depends upon the character
of the evidence turned in against him
in a pending charge of obtaining mon
ey under false pretenses. This charge
was lodged against him by JEFF Davis
county resident, before Justice of the
Peace A. G. Dyess at Carson, two
dage ago, and DR.. Brown was arrested
by the authorities at Columbia last
Tuesday. He put up cash bond of
500 and was released from custody,
but it is understood that another war
rant, charging a similar offense, is out
against him, and it is possible that he
will face two grave charges before
the courts of this country are finally
through with him.
In the meantime many JEFF Davis
county damsel is anxiously watching
the developments in the Brown case.
Doctor" Brown is essentially a Ga
dies man." and his jeff Davis county
record proved no exception to his rep
utation in this respect. Perhaps as a
"masher" he broke all his previous
records in this county, and it is stated
that many a beauty residing within
the confines of this county, especially
in the Prentiss and Bassfield terri
tories, will read with more than pass
ing interest of his alleged downfall.
Doctor" Brown is no doctor at all,
but a man engaged merely in fitting
spectacles upon the eyes of men,
women and children. He seems to
have made his greatest hit with the
women. He came to Prentiss several
weeks ago and broke Immediately into
the limelight of publicity through the

UHLRICH HEARING
OCCURS MONDAY
Rumor That Ex-Governor Vardaman
Will Defend UIrich If He is
Held by the Court.

New York, April S.-Albert Ulrich,
the well known white mans hope" +"
is to have hearing on Monday and
will probably be given a chance to
face his accuser, Dr. Booker T. Wash
ington. The incident of the attack
of the famous negro educator has
been "shrouded" in much mystery,
and the hearing is eagerly awaited
although popular opinion is divided
as to whether Ulrich should be given
a medal or forty years. Interest has
been added to the affair by the rumor
that, if Ulrich is held, he will be de-
Tended by Former Governor Vardaman,
of Mississippi. The judicial-minded
Southern fire-eater, it is understood,
has sent an expression of sympathy
to the white hope," whom he consid-
ers the victim of some dark, deep,
devilish plot. "Washingtons attempt
to peep through the keyhole is only in
line" says Mr.. Vardaman, with the
instinct of the average negro, always
bent on social equality with white
people" What horrid lot of peep
ing Toms" the ex-governor must as
sociate with! Even in the smartest
of New York society. Keyhole-peep-
ing is considered in bad form.

Through a Swamp-Officers
Emptied Pistols.

Deputy Sheriff Thos. Giles and Con-
stable M. Riley had pitched battle
with Charles Evans, a negro at Petal
Friday afternoon.
The officers were armed with pis-

made his escape through a swamp
after the officers had emptied their
pistols. No one was struck by the
bullets.
Evans was wanted on the charge of
stealing quantity of meat from Hen
ry Grant, another negro. A portion
of the stolen meat was found in the

SUPREME COURT EXPECTED TO
FINALLY PASS ON THE
CASE THERE.
The Case IS AN UNUSUAL One
Prisoner Only Eighteen Years Old
Charged With Numbering Young
Lady in Winston County.

Jackson, Miss, April S.-A decision
is looked for in the Permenter case
next Monday, when it is generally be-
lieved the supreme court will finally
pass on his appeal from the death
penalty for the murder of jamie
Sharp.
This was argued about two weeks
ago, and the attorneys interested were
expecting a decision last Monday, but
the court did not pass on the case. A
case is rarely ever decided the first
week after it is submitted, but many
of them are ruled on the second week,
and the attorneys and others are ex-
pecting a decision Monday.
His case is an unusual one, and ac-
cording to reports from Winston coun.
ty, no matter what the supreme court
may decide, there is danger of trouble
among the friends of the Sharp and
Permenter families. Feeling has
been running high since the murder
was committed, and especially since
Swinton Permenter was charged with
the murder of jamie Sharp Letters
from Winston county indicate that
this feeling still exists and will be in
tensified by the decision of the su
preme court, more especially if the
case is reversed

UItimatum Declared.

Madero's Camp, Bustillo's Estate,
near chihuahua, Mexico, April S.
What he declared to be his ultimatum
on the question of peace was delivered
by Francisco I. Madero, the insurrector
leader, in camp here yesterday. While
still insisting on his demands that
President Diaz retire and that the
country be given a new election, Senor
Madero said, in the interest of possible
peace, he was willing to make all per-
sonal sacrifices and to that end would
resign as provisional president" and If
necessary would allow a provisional
president to be selected from Presi-
dent Diaz's cabinet.
The tenor of Senior Madero's inter-
view was rather to discredit the pos
sibility of immediate peace. He said
no peace overtures whatever had been
received by him either through his
father or through any one else. He
had received no messages on the sub
ject nor did he intend to move camp
toward the border or anywhere else
with a view of receiving any peace
commissioners. The report that his
father was in Ell Paso and was prepar'
ing to enter the insurrecto country to
see him interested him. but would
have no influence on his actions.

The fact that the battle had been
fought in advance of the caucus en-
abled the Democrats to keep in the
background all of the Bryan and anti
Bryan sentiment manifested during
the preliminary scrimmages. The
friends Of Senator Martin decided that
inasmuch as they had the votes to
elect their candidate, 1t would be folly
to bring this question into the caucus,
which appeared to be entirely har-
monius.

met in the office of Senator owen to
canvass the situation. A number
found themselves in an embarrassing
position because of pledges made
many weeks ago that they would sup
port Martin for the minority leader

sives should vote for Senator New

plan was changed in caucus, however,

receiving the complimentary vote OF
those who would not vote for Mr.. Mar
