suit OF an attempted criminal assault
made this afternoon upon the 12-
year-Old daughter of well-known
citizen of Americus, Babe Yarbrough,
a negro railroad hand, was taken to-
night from Deputy Sheriff Fuller by
party of enaged citizens and
hanged to bridge at a point in Ma
con county, near Oglethorpe.
TO prevent the assured storming
of the Americus jail tonight, Sheriff
Fuller placed Yarbrough in an auto
and attempted to spirit him to Ogle-
thorpe or Macon for protection, but
the race for life was lost before fif-
teen miles had been covered by the
sheriff.
Outraged citizens detected the She
riff as he slipped Yarbrough through
the rear of the jail yard and leaped
into waiting automobile. Instantly
the alarm was given, and within ten
minutes a dozen machines. filled
with determined citizens, were in hot
pursuit. Sheriff Fuller, in his light
car, was overtaken and short work
made OF Yarbrough, who was hanged
to bridge and shot to death.
The intended victim Of the brute,
a pretty child, was in her fathers
yard this afternoon when Yarbrough
made the attempted assault. At sight
Of Yarbrough she screamed and
members OF the family came to her
assistance. Yarbrough fed, but was
captured quickly under the Seaboard
freight depot, where he lay conceal
cd, and was carried by a policeman
to the county jail.
Quickly the news Of the attempted
assault spread and soon hundreds of
citizens assembled about the court
house awaiting developments, which

board met regularly and appropriate
ed money for explosives, which was
paid by checks signed by President

that Ortie McManigal was paid that
sum for an explosion at Clinton, and
that "the whole system of explosions
throughout the country was carried
on with the approval and support of
the officials and executive board Of
the union"
"The strongest stuff ever Invented"
was the way II. S. Hockin referred to

Mr.. Miller. 1t was after dynamite

by Mr.. Miller were: Ortie e. Nc
Manigal had been blowing up non
union jobs with dynamite and was in
Chicago. In response to a telegram

"We have decided to use nitro

going down to Muncie to get a sup
ply"
That's pretty dangeN>us stuff"
said McManigal.
They went to Muncie, Where they
met j. B. Mcnamara. On "a pretext
that they wanted to experh ,ent, they

3 YEARS FOR FATHERS DEATH.
Trivial Quarrel in Georgia County
Led to Killing.

Hartwell, Ga, Oct. 5.-Robcrt
Gray was tried and convicted too day
In Hart Superior Court and sentenced
to term Of three years in the peni-
tentiary for killing his father on the
2Sth Of last May.
The tragedy was the result Of a
quarrel between father and son over
trivial matter. rhe elder Gray
was incensed over the fact that some
chickens belonging to tenant work.
ing for his son had been scratching
up his corn, which had Just been
planted. Taking his shotgun he went
to the field to kin the fowls, when
his son interfered. Hot words and
blows followed. Picking up the gun
which his father had laid upon the
ground, the son fired, the entire load
taking effect in the hip, causing the
death Of his father in less than "a
hours.
The death-bed statement Of the
elder Gray was no doubt the means
OF saving Robert from being con
Victed on charge of murder in tho
hrst degree. He stated that he be-
licved his son had no intention Of
pulling the trigger of the gun, and
that he was the victim OF an acci-
dent. Tho fact, however, that Rob
ert did the shooting with his fathers
own gun, which he picked up from
the ground, was evidence enough to
disprove the plea OF accident,
