JAMES IS AT LARGE

As result of a mad break for lib
erty made late yesterday afternoon,
]. J. Brown, the white man who was
sent to the county farm on February
IS, to serve out sentence of 90S
days for cruelty to his young bride.
is now lying THE county farm near
Tucker. suffering from serious gun
shot wound administered by Guard
James Gregory.
Arthur James. alias Frank James,
another white man. however, made his
escape and up until late hour last
night was still at large. Officers are
securing the country for him and his
escape is thought to be impossible.
Brown, who is known to be a d.
perate character, and James were
returning from work late yesterday
afternoon with the other county pris-
oners, when suddenly the two white
men sprang from the wagon and
dashed into the woods. Guard Greg
DRY called them to stop, saying that
he would shoot if they did not obey
his commands. The men. however,
paved no attention whatever to him
and continued their flight. Gregory
then fired into the air to brighten
them, but to no avail, and then he
shot Brown, knocking him down. He
also fired another shot at James but
the shots went wild.
Brown was Immediately picked up
and carried to the farm where DR..
Robinson of Tucker administered
medical aid. Late last night, Brown
was resting easy but it is feared that
his wounds are very serious. This is
the second attempt he has made to es-
cape. and County Contractor D. J.
Niven has been keeping a very close
watch on him. Yesterdays attempt
was one of the most daring in the
history of this county and in making
it the two men thoroughly demon
strated the fact that they are desper-
ate characters.
County Convict Contractor D. B.
Niven received telephone message
Immediately after the affair yesterday
and he at once communicated with
local officers and other officials in
the county requesting that a sharp
lookout be kept for James. Mr.. Niven
stated that James is a bad man and
that he is especially desirious of his
capture. He also stated that he VIII
offer substantial reward for his re-
turn. James was serving a term of
1927 days, having been convicted of dis
turbing the peace and flourishing a
pistol.
Brown was sentenced for abusing
in most revolving manner his young
wife of just week. The case
one of the most revolving in jefferson
county's history and he was fined a
total of 9O8 days by Magistrate J. A
Frazier.

Then Burned.

Hot Springs, June 19.-Will Nor
man, negro, charged with fatally as
saulting Garland Huff. IA, daughter
of Judge C. Floyd Huff, was hanged
to telephone pole at one of the most
prominent corners here tonight by
several thousand irate citizens. The
body was also riddled with bullets

admitted the crime.
on the girl beat her over the head
with potato masher, fracturing her
skull. She died tonight. The negro
then fled to nearby mountains where
he was captured by posse and
brought here and turned over to the
mob
Norman worked about the Huff
home and he took Miss Huff entirely
by surprise. The young girl quickly
realized the brutes Intentions. and
fought furiously to release herself
from his grasp. His purpose was
never accomplished. Norman. after
striking the young lady in the head
with the masher, thought her dead
and fled from the scene. However, to
gain time for his escape, the negro
fiend first dragged the body to a closet
placed it inside and locked the door.
Miss Huff's brother, upon his re-
turn, called for his sister, and not re-
ceiving an answer suspected the
truth. He saw the signs of the strug-
gle and Immediately began ransack-
ing the house. Coming to the locked
closet, the young man broke open the
door, and saw the unconscious form
of his beautiful young sister lying on
the floor. Mrs. ]. w. Smith and E. c.
Thompson were Immediately summon
ed and the young girl was rushed to
the St. Joseph's Tnfirmary, where an
examination revealed two heavy de-
pressions in the forehead and the
skull broken in the back. She died
tonight without gaining conscious
ness.
Three posses were Immediately
formed and secured the mountains in
search of the brute. He was at last
found hiding close to the city, and
was brought back to town. Here an
enraged mob of several thousand per-
sons took the negro from the posse
and Immediately strung him to a tele-
phone pole. His body was literally
rlddled with bullets and later oil was
poured over it and it was burned.
The Huff family is one of the most
prominent in the State and especially
IN this county. For a number of
years. Judge Huff has been one of
the leading attorneys of Garland coun-
ty and the mob tonight was composed
OF number of his friends,
The crime was one of the most re-
voting in the history of the county.

persons had lost their lives in
a hurricane that swept over

1t Is feared that the loss OF life
may be even greater, as the

carrying out of those policies which
make for an ideal municipality.
To thn citizenship generally of
Pine Bluff, who cannot be referred to
in fraternal sense, the thanks of the
State Aerie is due you for carrying
out that warm spirit of welcome that
greeted lis on our arrival and which
was ever with us throughout our de-
alterations. We realize fully that no
matter Cow complete might have been
the plans and preparations for this
convention, unless there had been that
commendable spirit of cooperation
between the citizens of Pine Bluff and
the members of the loca: Aerie the
present gathering would not have
reached the stage of being the most
pleasant and successful the State
Aerie has ever held, and, appreciat-
ing this, we extend to you our sin
cere thanks, together with our best
wishes that Pine Bluff may continue
to grow and prosper and become a
mighty factor in the municipalities of
our beloved commonwealth.
To the press of Pine Bluff, The
Graphic and the Commercial, we real
ize fully what you have done to ad-
vance the interest of Eagleism Will
1t be of interest for you to know you
have done more in this respect than
is usually found in recording the de-
alterations of fraternal societies? You
have kindly featured the convention
of the State Aerie with special effort.
The colors of our beloved order grac-
ed your editions 1t is a compliment
of which we are proud, and in extend
ing to you token of our appreciation
we desire to especially note the in
terest in this respect of Brother
Meyer Solmson, of the Graphic, and
Brother J. s. Wiley, of the CONNER
cial.
1t is with sincere regret we take
our departure from Pine Bluff, but we
have not met in vain. The work we
have accomplished marks a new era
in Eagleism in Arkansas. The en-
thusiasm of this meeting we will carry
to our respective Aeries, with a low
ing remembrance of all that was
done to crown our state convention
with success and make more emphatic
the beautiful truth and benefits found
in Eagleism and in an Interpretation
and carrying out the ideals of the
brotherhood of man.
