Landed in Jail.

Early Monday morning two
strange young men arrived in
Greenfield, each leading nice
looking yearling calf. Standing
around awhile, they finally sold
both calves to Mr.. Tom Coats for
the sum of.$25, Coats giving his
check 10 one of the young men for
this amount. The young men
claimed to be from Gibson county.
Mr.. Coats became suspicious and
ordered payment Of check stopped.
By this time one Of the fellows had
left Greenfield, though the other
one remained, and he was arrested
and locked up. He admitted to
Sheriff LaFon, who put him
through a rather rigid examina-
ton, that he lived Just most any
where, but declined to tell where
he and bis pal got the calves. He
finally admitted stealing the calves
in Gibson county.

NEGROES ATTEMPT
TO WRECK TRAIN
Dastarty Attempt to Wreck Excursion Train
on / c. at Greenfield EARLY We'd
nGsday Morning.

An attempt was made to wreck
the |. G. excursion train bearing
large numbers Of excursionists
from Mississippi to Cairo on
Wednesday morning at Bean
switch, two miles north of Green
field.
At two different points cross
ties were piled upon the track, but
were discovesed by the engineer
in time to stop the train and
remove the obstruction, thus
saving dozens of lives. The train
was crowded with negroes who
had been to Cairo on the annual
decoration excursion occasion and
was running at pretty fast clip,
passing Greenfield about 4 o'clock
Wednesday morning. There is
no clue as to the guilty parties,
though it is thought a couple OF
negro boys in the vicinity of
Greenfield placed the ties on the
track. Railroad detectives, as
sisted by Sheriff LaFon and
Deputy Hatcher, are making an
investigation.
Since the above was put into
type we learn that Claude Win,
ston and Finnie Haigg, two Green
field negroes; were arrested and
brought to Dresden to Jail, after

Lightning Kills
Team of Mules.

During Monday nights severe
electrical storm, lightning struck
the barn Of Mr.. Geo. Campbell,
residing on the Miss Mamie
Glass place, two miles east Of
Sharon, killing Mr.. CampbelIs
two mules, which were in sepa-
rate stalls.
The bolt really struck a tree,
hard by the barn, running from
a limb to the barn. Hay was
ignited by the lightning, but Mr..
Campbell was awakened by the
loud report and got up, finding
his barn on fire. He started
to the barn, dressing as he ran,
but did not get his pants on, and
when he reached the loft, pants
in hand, be used the trousers in
smothering the flames, thus saw
ing the loss of his barn and con-
tents. This was what we term a
heroic deed, and if fund is
raised to replace this good farm
er's team the Enterprise wants
to contribute $3.50 toward that
fund. This was all the work stock
owned by Campbell, who has a
large crop already planted and
nothing now to cultivate the crop
with, and it will be difficult at
this season to procure good work

QUANTHY0F MEAT
Young Men Brought Here Monday From Green
field and Locked Up on Ugly Charge. Joe
PGnteCOSt the Prosecutor.

Ray Robinson and Dock Alex
ander, young men residing in the
Fifteenth district, were brought
here Monday night, following trial
before ESQ. Hornbeak at Green
field, and locked in jail, failing to
give. bond for their appearance at
court, the charge against them
being that of stealing seven mid
dlings of meat from Mr.. Joe
Pentecost, residing west of Green
field, in the Twenty-second dis
trict.
Some time ago Mr.. Pentecost
found seven sides of meat missing
from his smokehouse. He kept
quiet about the matter, putting
Ned Hatcher and Marshal DEM
ming of Greenfield to work on the
case. The meat was located and
identified at Tom Gardeners
grocery, Mr.. Gardner remember
ing that be had purchased it from
Robinson and Alexander. The
trial was held before ESQ. Horn
beak last Monday, with L. E.
Holiday representing the de-
PENDANTS and Harry E. Jones the
prosecution. The young men
claimed they had purchased the
meat from a negro farmer resid,
ing near Mt. Harmon church.
but the negro not being there to
corroborate their story, Esq.
Hornbeak held them to await the
action of the August grand jury,
bail being fixed at $500, failing
to give which they we're brought
to Jail by Sheriff LaFon.

about the affair, even taking the
