Four Night Riders" Prisoners.

F0ur Night Riders Prisoners.
 Jonosboro. Aug. 25.-SheritT Mark Phillips, Deputy Sheriff Houston BurkS and Constable Curry Ray of this township re- turned tonight with four prison CTS who are charged with night riding It is alleged that the men were among those who posted a notice at the mill of Barney X Hines at Anderson's Spur, in q remote part of the county west of here. ordering all negroes to leave the mill, and threatening them with death if they did not obey.
 The men arrested are George BroadaWay, George Woodruff, r. F. Woodruff and V. $. Kingston. Two of them are old men, the other two comparatively young All four deny their guilt, but the officers say they have convinc- ing proof against them.
 The officers say that they found all the negroes with their goods packed, ready to leave. AIT appeared badly scared by the threats that had been made against them.
 Each of the prisoners furnish ed bonds of $500 to guarantee his appearance for examination in the court of Justice of the Peace V. A. Barnett at o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
 It is said ill-feeling has exist ed between the management of Barney & Hines mill and the people of Anderson's Spur for some time because of the fact that negroes have been employ ed at the mill.
 About two years ago trouble of this sort occurred in the same section of the county, and about 40 men were arrested. However, the Grand Jury did not find suf- ficient evidence to warrant hold ing them for trial.

TlLLMAN JURY
 CANNOT AGREE
Jury Reported to Stand Nine For Conviction and Three
 For Acquittal.

Bonneville, Aug. 25.-Al- though the jury which holds in its hands the life of Arthur Till man is apparently hopelessly di- vided, Judge Evans tonight sent the jurors back for further de- Alterations. The jurors reported that they were divided nine to three, but did not state the yer dict favored by the majority. The jurors declared they could not agree and asked to be dis charged. Judge Evans explain ed to them that he was 10th to put the county to the expense of another trial and instructed the jurors to deliberate until Wed- nesday.
 In case they could not agree by that time, he said he would order a new trial at once.
 While no definite information could be obtained, rumors throughout the day credited the majority of the jury with favor ing conviction.
 Interest in the outcome of the case continues to be lively and many people living outside Bonneville remained in the city all day hoping that a verdict might be returned.
 The trial of the 20-year-old youth accused of the murder or his 18-year-old sweetheart, Man da Stephens, has set several new precedents in the annals of the Southern district of the Logan County Circuit Court
 Perhaps never before has so much legal procedure been crowded into three days as was the case during Tillman's trial. Three night sessions were neld and the case was given to the jury shortly before midnight ol the third day.
 Not in recent years has a Jury been kept deliberating as long as the present one bids fair to be-

Pleasant Valley Dads Defeat
 Boys.
Special to Independent.

Special to Independent. Kenyon, Aug. 25.-The dads retaliated by taking Saturday $ game from the boys by the fol- lowing score by innings:
 1st, 0; 2nd, 0;3d, l; 4th, 0; 5th, 4; 9th, 3; 7th. 0; Sth, ?; 9th, 0, making a total of ten scores, while the boys scored once in the first. third and fourth.
 Tie dads played much better ball than they did before, but their success was due mainly, to the twirling of Ed Smith and a combination of errors on the part of some of the infielders for the boys.
 This game puts them on a tie, gameand game. The boys are anxious for a final struggle and have challenged the dads for a game Friday morning at Swif- ton, they to pitch their own men and use the same lineup that the first game was played with.
 The dads evidently fear the re- suit or prefer to rest on their "laurels'. At any rate they have not accepted the challenge.
 Batteries for the dads were, Smith and Young; for the boys, Young and Pearce.

The new saloon law which pass
ed with the emergency clause and
is now in force, limits the mum her
of saloons to one for each 600
population or major fraction there
of, but proyides that any town can
have two saloons. Under the old
law towns of iess than 100 popu
lation we're limited to one saloon,
but in towns of over 1000 there
was no limit fixed. It is therefore
a question whether the new law
will reduce the total number oil
saloons at all. 1t will reduce tie
number in the larger towns but
will enable the small towns to in,
crease the number SO that the
total will probably not be material
ly reduced.

MIR. Mead located in Bon Homme

efforts the town Of Meadville was
started on the site now occupied
by the Springfield depot. During
the first year of it's existence the
town was swept away by a cloud
burst and the town of Springfield
was started on the high land two
miles from the former site. Mr..
Mead was active in building up
the new town and served for some
years as postmaster. He moved

the contract printing done for the
