HOPE.
There is no hope for the best OF the
field,
They suffer pain and did
Their young become the hunters YIELD,
One bitter, anguished cry.
Marks the despair Which death mas
wrought.
Love has been theirs, but all for
naught.
But hope God gave TO woman and man
Who see their loved ones die,
And ever since first this world began
Though we wonder and question why
Hope whispers low: you shall love
again.
And Joy shall follow your hours OF
pain.
/ Death is death to the beasts OF earth
| But man has soul divine,
| And the passing on Is a royal brit
To an everlasting line.
And hope shines out through the dark

They still live on who have gone away

COURTHOUSE IS
RAIDED BY MOB
SEEKING NEGRO
CrolUd Keeps Vigil
Today Despite
Failure.

Vinlta. Okla. Aug. 10.-Tireless
and determined members of a mob
bent on lynching Elias Ridge, a
young negro. kept vigil around the
court house early today undaunted
by the fact that deputy-sheriffs an
nounced last night the negro had
been spirited away.
Ridge is alleged to have confess
ed To killing Mrs. George Adair, 80
years old, at her home near Pen
sacola, on Tuesday. Mrs. Adair
was stabbed and beaten to death
in the presence of her two chill
dren.
Ridge was caught q short time
afterwards by a posse and brought
Late last night armed deputies,
stationed in the court house, who
had been holding off the mob since
Tuesday evening. invited the mob
to select committee to search the
court house in which the Jail is
located.
The. deputies announced that
Sheriff Ridenhour had spirited the
negro away.
Search Is Fruitless.
A committee Of five was chosen
and 1t made a search Of the build
ing and announced no success.
The mob was not satisfied. Other
committees went through the build
ing without finding the negro.
The watchers were skeptical,
however, and many. decided to stay
and await developments. Armed
patrols were thrown out on all the
roads leading out Of the city.
On Tuesday night about eight
hundred persons stormed the court
house in an effort to get the negro.
The mob succeeded in entering the
building, but withdrew when OFF,

enough evidence has been secured
to cause the local officials to be-

pected at any time.
First Trip Is Test.
1.-The information available
would make it appear that the first
use of a submarine was merely a
test to see how the plan would
work out" said Mr.. Appleby. ut
Is q matter OF common knowledge
with the rum runners that our sub
chasers operate out to the 12-mile
limit. Any vessel carrying liquor
without a permit within the three
mile limit can be seized lust as an
automobile ON land may Be seized.
II, however, any vessel is found
within the 12-mile limit, whose
cargo is broken or, in other words,
has not the full cargo for which its
manifest calls, it can be seized
under the customs laws.
This compels the rum runners
