Pontotoc.-Frank Blaylock's resi-
dence, five miles east Of Pontotoc,
was burned while the family was
away. There was but little insurance
and the blow fell heavily on him as
he had recently bought the home. He
was very sure that the burning was
incediary but no clew could be found.

barn with all of his corn and food

lock to secure blood hounds at any
cost and try to trace the parties who
set the house afire. The %neighbors
believed that both burnings were In.
cendiary and were anxious to know
for sure as others feared that other
homes would be burned.
The dogs were taken to the scene
Of the burning and soon took up the
trail. They followed where a place
was found where chickens evidently
stolen from the barn before it was
fired were picked, cleaned an washed
From there the trail lead direct to
the house Of one Of the n~eighboys
When the dogs reached this home
they went direct to the portico In
front of the house where some boys
were standing and reared up and
placed their front feet on the boys
shoulders and afterwards lay down
implying that their work was done
The two boys, Watts Brothers, were
arrested by the sheriff and brought
to Pontotoc where they were placed

in which the state is interested, a
decision in the matter by the supreme
court may be expected at an early
date after argument is heard.

with apprehension upon the calling OF

thousand dollars or more, with no
compensating results from q sitting

1t has been pointed out that very
few extra sessions have been held
since the c~arpetbaggers were routed
in 1875. The records show that there
was no extra session called from the
eexit of Governor Ames in 1876 until
the entrance of Governor McLaurine
