IRISH, POLICE ON
TRACK OF MEN WHO
FIRED At FRENCH
(By Associated Press)

DUBLIN, Dec. Achievement po-
lice are eng3gcd in tracking down the
men who yesterday attempted to as
sassinate Viscount French, Lord Lieu
tenant Of Ireland. Belief is expressed
that evidence has been obtained that
may result in the arrest Of several OF
those who planned and carried out the
attack. 49,
Documents were secured by the au-
thorities last night when store In
this city was roided, the officers hav-
ing been led to the place by papers
found ON the person Of q man named
Savage, who was killed while running
from the scene of the atempted as
sassination. ="
Absence of Independent witnesses
and the quickness Of the attack caused
a number of discrepancies in accounts
of the occurrence. 1t was at first said
that Policeman Loughlin. guard at the
Ashtown cross roads, had been killed,
but it developed he was only wounced.
Detective Sergeant HALEY who also
was wounded, is at the viceregal
lodge. He was q body guard of Wis
count French, succeeding constable
Hoey, who was recently killed by par
ties unknown.
Most recent reports state the motor
in which the viscount rode was not
struck by bullets, the attacking party
centering it's attention on the auto
mobile Immediately behind which was
empty. This car was shattcrd by a
bomb which burst inside the vehicle.
The vice regal lodge ie under close
guard of police, no one being allowed
to enter. Large crowds from Dublin
visited the scene of the attack yester-
day afternoon.
Viscount French and Mr.. Saunder-
son, his secretary, refuse to see news
paper men and officials generally are
very reticent. 1t is stated. however,
that the Lord Lieutenant was probably
the least surprised of any one, by the
atempt against his life. It Is known
that he has expected an attack and is
quoted rs saying recently that he
was governing Ireland pistol In hand"
but that he was not going to evade
danger"
It is recalled that theSinn Fein
newspaper Republic, edited by Darrell
Figgins, printed in one Of its Septem-
ber issues: "Viscount French Will
not be here much longer but the ma
ton will continue. Its freedom will be
won when French passes from the
scene"
LONDON. Dec. 20.-James Ian Mac
Pherson, chief eecretary for Ireland,
has arranged to go to Dublin imme-
diately, but will be closely guarded,
even in England. says the Daily Mail.
Mr.. Macpherson is under constant
guard Of two detectives and when hn
reAehes Ireland his body lgrard VIII

CHANCERY COURT THIS WEEK.
Mostly Divorce Cases. Orman- T erell
Suit Continued

Mostly Divorce Cases. Orman-Terell
Suit Continued
The fall term of the chancery
Court of Grenada County convened at
the court house in Grenada last Tues
day morning with his honor, Judge
j. G. McGowen on the bench.
In keeping his well established
record, Judge McGowen soon had
matters moving. There was little
time consumed in getting down to
busines and in few minutes the
call of the docket was begun. A
very large per cent of the litigation
was divorce proceedings seeking TO
dissolve matrimonial relations and
nearly all of these involved those
who date back to Ethiopia and who
are known for lightly regarding their
martial vows.
One important piece of litigation
was continued at the instance OF the
defendants in the suit filed by Mrs.
Matte Orman seeking to get what
she regards as fairer distribution
of the property of her father, the
late George w. Terrell, which lit
igation, if successful, will annul
some of the provisions of Mr.. Trreirs
will. Mclean, Carothers & Mclean
represent Mrs. Orman while defense
is represented by Cowles Horton.
The outcome of this litigation will
be watched with no small amount of
interest not only on account + the
prominence of the parties but on ac--
count of the nice law points involved.

titled TO as high a market value
for the same grade of cotton and
for the same cotton seed as those
who sell at any other market, and
Whereas if these rumors or allega-
tions are false, they should be exposed
