ING READY TO STORM JAIr
ssFoR PRISONER.

Laurel, - n6Rls here
are exerting d. nee
to prevent either t.

The first cause Of uneasiness COM
in the detention for safe-keeping in

young white man, who is alleged to
have insulted two daughters Of rail-
road foreman at Crottstown, eight
miles south of Laurel. Railroad men
there are said to be organizing pre-

at the Wausau Lumber Company's
camp, ten miles southeast Of here
White employees there recently left on
an unwarranted vacation and, when
they returned found their places taken
by negroes. They have posted about
the lumber camps warning to all ne
