Probes Into The Details Of
The ViCksburg LynChing


Vcksburg, Miss, March ga
grand jury investigation Of the lynch
ing of Ed Johnson, a negro, in the
city suburbs on January 20, was be-
gun here today. Governor Brewer
has taken an active interest in this
case. has kept in touch with the pre-
.liminary investigation, and has named
Attorney A. A. CLANCY Of Vicksburg
to prosecute the investigation before
the grand jury.
The negro johnson, over whose as
sassination Governor Brewer has
been forced to take summary action,
was said to have been taken from
Deputy Sheriff Kimball Ferguson at
the city limits and shot to death. A
hundred or more bullets, fired by an
unknown mob, penetrated the mans
body. The shooting caused sur
prise, for the charge on which the
colored man was arrested was that
Of stealing a COW from a negress. The
woman, following the shooting, de-
MED that she had brought any charge
against Johnson, and stated that the
supposedly stolen cow came back the
day after the killing Of the negro.
Sheriff Hyland states that the
whole affair was most puzzling mys-
tery to him, but he was unable, he
claimed, to get the slightest clue up
on which to make an arrest.
At the coroner's hearing, Deputy
Ferguson stated that he had been un-
able to offer any resistance to the
mob. SO turned upon his horse and
returned to town, where he notified
the police of the killing. According
to Ferguson. the deputy was leading
johnson by rope toward town when
the mob surrounded himself and his
prisoner.
There was general condemnation OF
the crime in all parts of the city and
county. especially when It was dis
covered that the COW had not been
stolen and that the negress denied
she had ever requested q formal
charge made against Johnson.
Deputy Ferguson asserts he made
the arrest upon an affidavit before
Justice Stout, and performed his dut,
in regular manner.
When Governor Brewer took
hand and called the local officials t
jackson for conference, the officials
were unable to aid them. they claim
ed. Then the governor got busy OF
his own hook and pushed the investl
CATION hard. So keen has been tn
sentiment over the outrage that tn
!, Vicksburg board of trade has passe'
resolutions denouncing the crime AM
y urging the punishment of those guilt
Of the affair.

OZONE JAG, LATEST
philadelphia Ledger)

An ozone jag! One of the newest
things, assure you, and right on the
heels of the departing jag that came by
way of morning bracer or an evening
cocktail.
The ozone jag is meant to carry the
air Of mountain top to your stuffy
Office or your still stufiier factory and
worllroom. Instead of having to sneak
out when nobody is watching to get
your accustomed eyeopener over the
bar, this ozone stimulant Is handed
around gratis by the boss himself.
Where ever introduced. everybody,
from the office boy and typewriter to
the head of the establishment, indulg-
es In this new air beverage, which Is
warranted to make the palest cheek
glow like Gloucester lisherman's and
create an appetite that will carry dis
tress to the heart of the stoutest board
ing house mistress.
The ozone is turned loose where all
may breathe it. what is the actual
effects?" | inquired of Philadelphia

the results of wholesale ozone jags

The latter result will make 1t unpop
ular In spots, but ought to encourage
its sale to persons of he Connie Mack

trying this plan to introduce more
ozone by artificial means. Physicians
tell me that even In large quantities
It will do no harm, but will make thu

Victorious In Second Game
Of The Series
34.24 Score Ties Race For
City Basket Ball Supremacy

superior III every stage VI tue
game, the Mounts basket ball team
won from the high school in the sec.
ond game Of the city championship
series at the Y. M. c. A. Saturday
night by the score of "a to "a, in a
contest every minute Of which con-
stituted fight for supremacy. This
gives each team one game.
By dint of personal effort, Manager
r. II. Kinney of the Mounts put his
strongest team on the floor, securing
for this purpose Shireman Of Massil-
lon and Walters of Columbus, both Of
whom played with the Mounts during
the season, but left at the end for
new homes and positions. These men
instilled the necessary amount of con-
fidence in the city team which result
ed in a snappiness Of play rarely
seen this year on the local floor.
1t was plain that both teams could
not keep up the whirlwind tactics of
the first half. Here was case of an
endless procession from one end Of
the floor to the other, stopped only
when one team could locate the bas-
ket. The Mounts were superior in
this, either Mitchell or Walters elud.
ing high school guards. The play
was truly furious and not unnecessar.
lily rough, the half ending with an 18
to 10 lead on the part of the Mounts.
That the game was far from being
safely tucked away was evidenced by
the chat Of the spectators between
the halves. Rooters for the Mounts
were fairly positive that their team
could stand up under the strain of an
other half as fast as the first, while
high school advocates secuted this
assertion, maintaining that the en-
ergy Of the Mounts was spent and
they would not be able to come
back"
From the very start of the second
half, however, there was little doubt
but that the Mounts could endure the
cruel. Using the same speedy tactics
and playing for all there was in the
game, they successfully checked the
strong high school advance by very
close guarding of Center Art Bonds.
With the nucleus Of the high schools
play rendered almost useless, the
Mounts kept shooting away at the
basket and won.
For a short time, it seemed that the
high school might tie the score, when,
with sudden rush, they Gagged three
baskets in succession, but the lead
of the Mounts was too large and the
game ended "a to "a.
The Mounts had decidedly the bet
ter OF the argument In team work.
They constantly used four-man com.
bination for carrying the ball down
the floor and frequently utilized the
services of every man on the team
On the contrary, high school hardly
ever had more than three men work
ing in their floor play and, after an
unsuccessful shot experienced ex
treme difficulty in recovering the ball
Tart" Sapp played remarkable
guarding game for his team ant
would quite often carry the ball W
the floor entirely unaided and despite
efforts of the high school to blocl
him.
