ed After Here,

Mr.. J. W. Herriott, of Chicago, repre-
sentative of E. S. Judd, Real Estate
man. arrived in our city Monday morn

ten days
Some time ago, as the Leader noted

acres of land in Copiah, Lawrence and
Lincoln counties as an investment and
Mr.. Herriott, who is an affable and gen.
ial gentleman, widening his acquaint-
ance here with each recurring visit, is
looking after sales, while Mr.. Judd is
attending the convention of the National
Board of Directors of Real Estate at
Denver.
Mr.. Herriott, who has always made
his home while in Brookhaven, at the
former Boswell House, regrets the
change that has been wrought by the
death of the proprietress, but is pleas
antly located at the Inez.

AT NORFIELD MONDAY
Denkmann Co. Lost Entire saw MIL
Department-Afrects 70 Employees
will Rebuild at Once,

A fire originating from an unknown
Origin totally destroyed the saw mill
plant of the Denkmann Lumber Co., at
Norheld Monday afternoon at 1:45. The
Denkmann Company operates one of the
largest lumber manufacturing plants in
the south and the loss is estimated at
over 100000. Part of this amount is
covered by insurance.
IL was only by the hardest kind of
hghting by the employees of the COM
pany assisted by other residents of the
town as well as aid from Brookhaven,
that the plant was saved from entire
destruction.
The burning of this department affect
ed about seventy employees as well as
crippling other branches of the plant
on account of its loss, but plans are

liest possible moment.

NEW TRIAL FOR TOM
KYZAR is DENIED
Abe Jett, Charged with Intent TO Com
init Assault, Sentenced to One
Year In Penitentiary.

Although Judge d. M. Miller adjourned
the September term of the Circuit Court
of manufacturing intoxicating liquors,
Friday afternoon he returned to Brook
haven Monday for the purpose of hear
ing the motion for a new trial filed by
the attorneys for Tom Kyzar, convicted
of manufacturing intoxicating liquors,
and sentenced to one year in the peni-
tentiary.
The main ground relied upon by de-
fendant's counsel in urging a new trial
was that the evidence introduced upon
the part of the state did not Justify
verdict of guilty. That no one testi-
fled that the beverage claimed to have
been made by the defendant was intoxi-
catingt that no one became intoxicated
after tndulging in the same and that
the state utterly failed to make out
it's case under the statute. After hear
ing the argument of counsel for the mo-
tion Judge Miller very promptly over
| ruled the same and the defendant will
have to carry his case to the Supreme
Court, or serve out the sentence impos-
ed upon him by the court.
Other Cases Disposed of Not Reported
Heretofore.
Jesse Williams VS.. John Barton Payne
Agent for American Railway Express
Co.-Jury and verdict for plaintiff for
$57.72 and costs.
State VS.. Abe Jett.-Assault with in
tent to commit rape. Jury and verdict
OF guilty as charged and fix the pun
ishment at one year in the penitentiary."
rms was the case where the defend
ant, negro boy, was charged with an
attempt upon Nettie Melville, a white
girl but as the evidence for the state
aid not tend to show any intent upon
the part of the defendant to commit
the crime with which he was charged,
the jury recommended that the punish
ment be fixed at one year in the peni-
/ tentiary.
