PETER /: 3.
Friend:-Have you met the risen
Christ upon the Damascus way, and

Christ is risen. Paul had met him
on the Damascus road, and they had
become fast friends. In Jerusalem
when Paul debated his life work,
Christ had stood by and had said: II
will send thee far hence unto the Cen
tiles" After this, in the darkness of
the night, on a stormy sea, when hope
was dead, Christ had stood by again
and said, "Fear not" and Paul feared
not. Paul was not so sure of any
other fact as that Christ lives. A
dead Christ could not bea living COM

that no such man as Jesus Christ ever
lived, he replied: "Hold on, Massa,

BloodhOunds Trail Negro From Lone
ly Road In. Woods Where Attack
Was Made On Aged Woman, To
His Home-NO Doubt OF Guilt
of The Dead Man.

Late Thursday evening while pass
ing along on a lonely country road
about 8 miles east of Water Valley,
walking from a home of one relative
to that of another about 1-2 mile dis
tant, Mrs. Angie Cofer, an aged lady
60 years old, was attacked by a ne
gro man. The old lady happened to
have knife with her and when the
negro attempted to take hold of her,
she cut and slashed at her assailant
in such a Vigorous manner as to
frighten him and the brute ran
away.
Relatives at once reported the case
to Sheriff Frost who Immediately sent
1or the Cant bloodhounds which ar
rived here Friday afternoon on tie
2 o'clock train. The dogs were taken
at once to the scene of the attack
where they picked up the trail and
went directly to the home of negro
named Dolphus Ross, and the dogs
identified Ross as the man trailed.
Mr. Cant removed the negro's shoes
end returned with then to thr start
ing point of the trail where officers
we're and told them to get Ross as he
was the one wanted. Shreiff Frost
and deputies then went to Ross home
and arrested Ross and a son, Leroy,
a boy about 10 or 20 years of age,
bringing both to town and placing
them in the county jail about sun
down Friday night.
Sheriff Frost and family live in the
Jail building, and that night upon bis
,eturn home from the picture show
he was met in front of the Jail b.
large crowd of determined men who
told him that they had come after the
negro Ross. The officer asked per-
mission to remove his family from the
Jail building to the court house near
by where they would be free from any
danger, which request was readily
granted, but after getting to the court
house with his family, the sheriff was
then not permitted to return to the
Jail.
The men then DESTROYED the locks
on the cell door and took both the
negro Ross and son. There were 6
or 8 automobile loads of men in the
party and so quietly did they work
that people living next to the jail did
not know anything about the affair
until the following morning While
the men were armed. not a shot was
fired nor any noise of any kind made
while securing the negroes. 1t is re-
ported that the men didn't even wear
disguise of any kind to conceal their
identity.
After securing the two prisoners,
the men then went east with their
cars. The next morning the dead
body of Dolphus Ross was fond near
the road east of Wyatts Chapel about
miles from town. His head and
body had been filled with bullets.
AS we go to press it is reported that
the boy, Leroy, was turned loose, but
no one has seen him since he was tax
en- away Friday night by the crowd.
