THE MOB FAILS
TO GET negro
SHERIFF PREVENTS A
LYNCHING
negro Held FOR ASSAULT
Negro Was Hid Out But
Returned by Officers to
Find Mob in Waiting

An attempt was made by a
mob Saturday night to lynch a
negro named Golden Lfaxwell
confined in the county Jail on a
charge of attempted criminal as
sault, but the attempt was foiled
and the mob dispersed by the
prompt action of the sheriff and
his assistants. Several of the
mob were disarmed and the
crowd then beat a hasty retreat.
The attempted criminal assault
with which the negro was charg-
ed, was committed at Fulton, and
Saturday night Sheriff E. D. Vel
win was aroused to receive a tele-
phone message notifying him
that a mob was forming to lynch
the negro. The sheriff summon
ed Attorney L. F. Monroe to his
assistance and with jailor L. V.
Beck they took the negro out and
hid him in a house near by,
where they remained until 2
o'clock Sunday morning, when
having heard nothing of the mob,
the negro was taken back to jail,
but no sooner had the sheriff and
his deputies entered the jail than
they were surrounded by the
crowd of about fifteen who were
there in waiting. The sheriff and
attorney Monroe were promptly
covered with revolvers, but the
sheriff at once grappled with
his man, Monroe showed his auto
matte under the nose of the man
who had him covered, causing
him to instantly drop his revolv-
er, and while the sheriff and jailer
Beck were rounding up the mob,
Monroe disappeared in the dark
with the prisoner, who followed
making good time without any
particular encouragement, and
he was kept out until after the
sheriff and jailer had convinced
the crowd of the importance that
they should return home and be
good.
When the sheriff and his assist
ants came up with the negro,
the mob was being entertained
by Gea Beck, the seventeen year
old son of the jailer who refused
to give up the keys, and it is
supposed they did not see him,
thinking he was in his cell.
The negro Maxwell confessed
entering the room of the woman
he is accused of attempting to
assault, but says he went in for
the purpose of robbery, but when
she discovered him and started
to scream, he attempted to choke
her to prevent the alarm.

MEXICAN REBELS
Caught in TEXAS
REBEL LEADER WITH
STAFF
CROSSED AMERICAN Line
Is Captured by United States
Marshal and hisDepu-
ties in Texas

Tucson, Ariz., Sept. 23.-After
chase through northern Sonora
by Mexican federal troops, after
his raid on mining camps and
lines Of the Southern Pacific rail
way, Gen. Emilio P. Campo, a
rebel leader, and his staff crossed
the American line south of Tue
son and now are prisoners of the
United States.
After positive Identification by
Dr.. Ruffo, friend, Campo today
admitted his identity and said he
was tired Of fighting. DR.. Ruffo
was surgeon general for Madero
in the previous revolution.
Campo was captured by United
States Marshal G. A. Overlook,
Sheriff Nelson and deputy,
without resistance. He had sent
two men into Tucson Saturday
night to produce automobiles,
but they were arrested, and after
questioning, told of the location
of the remainder of their party
Of 10.
The rebel leader declared he
was surprised by the unexpected
opposition he met at the hands
Of the federals under General
Chrome, who gave him a seven
hour battle at Altar. Hard push
ed by the pursuing federals, and
practically without ammunition,
he decided to seek safety in the
United States, with a faint hope
that he might be able to get am
munition at Casas Grandes or
Gila Bend, west Of Tucson.
Stories that Campa got out
with 100000, as the result of his
campaign of loot through uorth-
ern Sonora, are denied by United
States authorities, who assert
the rebel chef had but S4OO when
arrested. His companions had
about 5000 each. All of the pris-
oners are being held pending or
ders from the Department of
Justice.
Mexican Consul Anaya has
communicated with his govern
ment with the view of having
Campo extraditd on a charge of
murder
Campo tonight issued state
ment declaring the Mexican rev
olution has become unprincipled
outlawry, with which he could no
longe2 afford to be associated.
He laid claim to having been
the originator of the present rev.
olution. United States authorities
believe Campo and his detained
aides, Col. Jose Ponce and Major
Emilio Sanchez, cannot be held,
as they crossed the line with
nothing dutiable.
