The government accordingly sent an
other shipment and this time saw that
the pegs had been removed before

Some time thereafter the Albatross

transplanting. Lobster traps were set

was captured. The government then
posted notices offering $1,000 for a

INF FUR|ATED MOB
 LYNCHES NEGRO

Lawrenceville, Ga, April S.-Shortly after midnight mob of 200 masked men stormed the jail here and after attack ing the sheriff and taking his keys from him secured the negro Charles Hale, ar rested earlier in the night for assault ing Mrs. C. c. Williams. They took him to a corner in the business part of the town and, after string him up on a tree, riddled the body with bullets.
 According to Sheriff E. s. Garner the mob was composed of residents of the country surrounding Lawrenceville. While the sheriff was parleyins with the ring leade~ in the yard of the jail three others slipped behind and dealt him T heavy blow on the head, rendering him unconscious. They then secured his keys and made away with the prisoner.
 The assault on Mrs. Williams is said to have been unusually brutal. Her hus- band, a prominent young farmer, was away from home when the negro slipped into the house this afternoon and before Mrs. Williams could offer any resistance he seized her and threw her on the fioor In the scuffle almost all of the womans clothing was torn from her body. After accomplishing his purpose the negro hid in the house and again terrorized the woman when she regained consciousness.
 Williams, who is paralyzed in the upper part of his body, found the negro there on his return. Hale, it is said, threat ened both with death if they revealed his crime
 As soon as he disappeared Williams gave the alarm and Sheriff Garner organ ized a posse and started the hunt with bloodhounds. The chase led into the Yel- low river bottoms three miles away, where the negro was captured. The negro is said to have confessed.

COSTS DEARLY TO
 SHIRK ROAD WORK

Prattyille. April 7.-(Special )-The spring term of Autauga circuit court finished the docket on the criminal side today and adjourned. There were but few felony cases and no capital case at this term.
 The cases of interest to the citizens of this county were 29 cases against that number of citizens of beat for failure to work the public road The defendants refused to comply with the rules promulgated by the board of rev enue, declaring the rules were Illegal and If law it was unconstitutional. One of these cases was tried at the fall term of the circuit court and the ma m convicted. The case was appealed to the supreme court which affirmed the judgment.
 A few of the defendants who thought they had d good defense in law stood trial this week and were acquitted. Others stood trial and were convicted. This caused others who had doubtful defense to plead guilty and take the lowest fine. The costs alone in each of these cases ran from SIS to $25.
