Black Mob Takes
Prisoner From Office

Senatobia, Miss, Feb. 2.-Con.
stable R. L. Wright of Bowman,
Miss. while on his way to Jail last
night with a negro. Ham Stark,
who had been convicted of petit
larceny, was assaulted by a negro
mob and his prisoner was taken
from him.
The mob fired upon the officer
without making any request for
the prisoner. firing in all about
fifteen shots. The fact that it was
dark was all that saved the officers
life. He was slightly wounded in
the neck, and several shots passed
through his clothing. Mr.. Wright,
understanding the intention of the
mob, drew his pistol and attempted
to fire. but from some reason the
weapon failed to work. and he was
at the mercy of the mob. The
failure of the officers pistol to
work seems to have been to his ad-
vantage. as it was difficult for the
mob to determine the exact posi-
tion of his body.
The entire force Of the sheriff
was out today in a search for the
members of the mob. The officer
was able to identity two of them,
but a visit to the homes of these
two showed that they had left some
time in the night. The only trail
struck today is leading into Pamela
county.

lVARDAMAN KNOWS
HOW TO DRIVE MULES
SenatOr-Elect Helps NEGRO Out Of Mud
Hole on Jackson Street And
''IIe Hates Niggers."

jackson. Miss Feb. 5.-A few
days ago Senator r-elect Jas. X. Var
daman was stroIling down State
street towards town. The six
weeks spell of rainy weather has
gotten the unpaved streets in
mighty bad shape. State is paved
however. but Yazoo, one Of the
cross streets, is not. A negro with
a team of mules was driving up
Yazoo and endeavoring to get on
the paved street. The load of coal
was pretty good one, considering
the condition of the streets. and
when the mules got almost to the
smooth surface. they gave up and
baked.
The negro whaled first one and
then the other with the whip.
Then he bawled at them. One mule
would tug and the other would re-
main perfectly still. and vica versa.
All this was going on as Vardaman
was comlng up the street The
mules were right on the crossing
the wheels were still in the bog.
The United States senator elect
stopped and watched while.
There was nobody else around but
the frazzled out negro driver and
the frazzled out and disheartened
mules. He began to get restless
not because the crossing was block
ed, for there was plenty of room to
go around. but "reminiscences OF
the time when his two little OLD
rabbit mules used to bog with

The darkey gratefully obeyed and
handed the lines over. Vardaman
gave a few preliminary tugs to the
lines, gathering them in and let
ting the mules know somebody
else was On the job.
He gave the mules a lam with
the whip. and they futilely tugged
as before, then he let loose on them
