MOB STORM JAIL
At Cairo, Illinois, to Get Negro Who
Snatched Purses From
LADIES ON THE STREET
Several of the Infuriated Crowd Shot
lk>wu by Ofllcerg of the I*aw?
The Crowd in I'uly .Mood Hurly
r riuaj .Homing unu r urwier if
tack on Jail K\pocte(l.
At Cairo, Illinois, in a light Thursday
between a mob that seeks *o
lynch a negro charged with purse
snatching and live deputy sheriffs
who are guarding the jail, several
members of the mob were shot down
In an attempt to rush the jail.
The number of injured is unknown
the estimates varying between two
eleven.
The mob was still gathered about
the jail at an early hour and was
constantly increasing in size. Sheriff
Mollis entrenched his force of deputies
behind shuttered windows and
sent out word to the mob that he
would light to a finish to protect his
prisoner. , j; ' !
The mob worked itself into a fren- '
zy and another rush on the jail is (
expected. The local militia company '
was ordered out Thursday night by
the Governor but the authorities have (
been unable to 11 nd the company's 1
officers to lead the men. Sheriff Nell- *
is appealed to Gov. Deneen for more x
soldiers and outside companies are 1
hourly expected.
There are three negroes in the 1
jail. One of them, John Pratt, was 1
arrested on a charge of snatching !1
purses from women, lie later confessed.
lie was 1 in med in t el v ituHrt
eu by the grand jury and it is believed
the mob is after him. 1
The mob began forming shortly
alter dark. As soon as the talk of
a lynching reached Sheriff Nellis ho
appealed to Governor Deneen for A
troops and swore in live deputies. (
A crowd gathered about the jail, A
tut 110 attempt to storm the struc- (
ture was made until shortly before t
midnight. t
Sheriff Nellis made good his prom- |
ise to shoot and several men in the j
mob fell at the first volley. Then
the mob withdrew at a safe dis- .
tance and began firing into the jail, j
breaking the windows but injuring .
rone of the defenders.
A dispatch from Cairo at half- ]
past three o'clock Friday morning <
says the mob that attacked the jail ,
is reforming a block away and a 1
second assault is imminent. The (
mob, however, now numbering 5 00 t
persons, is crazed because Sheriff 1
Nellis and his deputies fired 011 them (
and threats are made to lynch them 1
as well as the negroes. ^
Among the seriously injured of the f
rioters are: t
John Malonoy, shot through head, j
Sam Wersinger, shot in shoulder.
Horton Freehan, shot in leg. 1
George 11. Walker, shot in leg.
Maloney is tlio husband of ono
of the women whose purse was *
snatched.
Caused by Policy Murder.
Cairo has been in a state of unrest
since the heinous murder was ^
discovered on November f*th of Miss i?
Annie Pelley, a shop girl, who was Y
s'ain by Will James, a negro. Aftc* o
a long chase through Alexander and r;
adjoining counties, a mob captured d
James, taking him from the custody b
cf Sheriff Davis. The negro was led V
back to Cairo and hanged in the ci
public square. h
The mob then entered the Jail ami rs
dragged forth a white man held for s<
uxoricide and hanged him. e<
It was asserted by the Cairo papors
and leading residents at that h
time that the mob spirit was engen P
dered by the delays of the courts in f<
punishing criminals. ei
Sheriff Davis was removed from g
office by Governor Deneen, who acted II
under a law that required the sum- a
mary removal of a sheriff who al- 1>
lowed a prisoner to be taken from
him.
The revengeful feeling towards negroes
seemed to die out after com- j,
panieg of State troops had hcdd the
citizens in abeyance for several days.
An alleged accomplice of James in
the murder of Miss Pelley was later
brought back to Cairo, but no in- ii
dictment was found against him. 11
While the mob that lynched James
last November was fiendish in its tl
treatment of the body of Miss Pel- >ley's
alleged slayer, tearing out his S
heart and burning it at the spot on
which the girl's body was found, J1
no talk of further vengeance on ne- ?
grocs was heard except periodically. w
Thursday night's outburst came ?1
therefore as a surprise to city officers ti
but Sheriff Nellis, profiting by his o!
predecessor's removal for failure to tl
protect James, used drastic measures
10 save his prisoners. w
No serious effort was made to pun- Va
Ish any of the members of the mob A
that lynched James and the white P<
man last November. No arrests were in
made, although Sheriff Davis said ?
that he recognized several of the ve
rioters. A coroners jury that hel l he
* an Inquest over James returned a of
Ik*,,.

CUSTODY OF TILIiMAN CIIILDHEN
SKTTLHD BY OOUKT.
Their Father Hud No Bight to I>ce<l
Them to IIis Parents Under tho
law.
Ily an unanimous decision of the
supremo court Tuesday, Senator and
Mrs. 11. K. Tillman aro commanded
to surrender to Mrs. It. It. Tillman,
Jr., the custody of the latters two
Kirls deeded to the elder Tillmans in
December by their father, upotu the
allegation that their mother was mi
lit to bring them up properly, and lie
was not himself able to give them
such an upbringing as he would like
them to have. The court holds that
such a deed is invalid without the signatures
of both parents, if both be
living.
What Senator Tillman Says,
Commenting upon the decision of
the court, Senator Tillman said:
"The supreme justices have lifted
a great responsibility off ine and
shifted it to their own shoulders. My
only motive in accepting the guardianship
was the welfare of my little '
grand daughters. 1 know all the facts 1
and circumstances, many of which '
were not brought out in the hearing,
Find was actuated solely by a sense
jf duty. The final result can alone
letermine whether the court has act- '
2d wisely.
"Fifteen years hence, when I am (
lead and gone, the character and *
ype of women that my grand-daugh- N
ers will have become will show
vhetlier it was best to have given 1
hem to their mother or not.
"I pray God's guidance to her in '
earing them and that lie will shield
hem from contaminating influences a

Collide Head On Through Alleged
Mistake in Heading Orders by the
Crew of a Train.
Six persons are dead and eight are
seriously injured as a result of the
head-on collision Monday afternoon
on the Georgia, Southern and Florida
railway, 19 miles below Macon, between
two fast Hying passenger
trains.
A misunderstanding of orders on
the part of the northbound train is
said to have been the cause of the
collision. The northbound train crew
were under the impression that the
southbound train was to bo passed
at Hon Aire, while the southbound
train had orders to meet at Wills
on.
The northbound train dashed by
Wellston and was making fast time
o reach Hon Aire to prevent any do
ay of the southbound train.
The two trains met on a curve and
loath and suffering ensued. The
wo engines crashed into each other
vith a terrific impact, the north
louiul train was the heavier of the
wo and the light engines and coachs
of the southbound train were bady
smashed.
None of the dead were passengers
nd only a few passengers were >ciDusly
injured, the dead and injured

onipany.
The dead:

It was one of the most dismal t
vamps on the road that the crash
jcurred. Passengers describe the v
ies of the wounded and dying as v
ost pitiful and heartrending. Sev- b
*al hours elapsed before medical a
d reached the scene. Many women
issengers bound the wounds of the
jured with bandages torn from

T
Engineer Yates stuck to his post,
id was killed outright. Engineer

That seventeen of the twenty chil'
dren of Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Carl
*
of Reading, Pa., died as tho result
. of witchcraft was the startling state,
ment made Friday by the parents,
i A daughter, 2S years of age, died
; and was buried last week. The ma
jority of tho children died wheL
quite young.
The parents have never been ill
i a single day, while their hildreu
wasted almost to skeletons. Attending
physicians said several of the
children were afllicted with marasmus,
a wasting of the tlosh without
?ny fever or apparent disease, while
"powwow" doctors declared tht the
little ones were bewitched by an obi
woman.
Several of the children in their illness
scratched their mother on the
neck and face, screaming for hours,
and manifested other queer symptom
until they died. While physi- ^
clans declared that several of the
older children died of tuberculosis,
Mr. Carl believes all were bewitched. .
lie said:
"U'li,... ..< -* *

the doctor said it would not live over
right, and at the suggestions of a .
neighbor I called in a "hex doctor"
who had the reputation of curing
bewitched people. He hung something
in a bag around the chid's
neck and gave it two kinds of medicine.
He said that it had been be- <
witched by a woman, but would not .
mention any name. From the time
the witch doctor began to treat the .
child it began to improve, and is f
one of the three living today."
On another occasion when one of
his daughters was ill, Mr. Carl declares
an old man, hearing him tell
a friend about his loss of so many 1
children, said he could help the
child, and was invited to try. He
brought a piece of muslin, a needle
end thread, a pen and red ink, and \
(lie seventh book of Moses. He t
powwowed," and then copied a verse i
on a slip of paper, using his red ink, ^

KILLED BY ACCIDENT
BRIDGE WATCHMAN AT OONGAREE
FOUND DYING.
At Hi? I'ost of Duty Early Thursday
Morning, Dying a Short While
hitftr.
Thomas Jefferson, night watchman
for the Southern railway company
Congaree River Bridge, just above
Fort Motte, was killed at an early
htur Thursday morning. It is not
known how the accident occurred.
The Steamer City of Columbia arrived
at the bridge about 5: HO o'clock,
and the draw was opened for it to
puss.
On arrival of train No. 15 at six ^
o'clock no signals were found, and
the draw bridge was partly open. The
crew closed the draw, and seeing no
signs of the night watchman, passed
\ er the bridge.
After this a freight train from
Columbia arrived, and after a search
for the watchman they found him
lying under the draw 011 the rock
foundation, with one arm pinioned
under a turn of the draw.
lie was yet alive, but unconscious
and died shortly after being moved.
The supposition is that while trying
to close the draw he fell through
on the foundation and caught 011 the
iron turn table to keep from falling
to the river below.
On arrival of train No. 15 a few
minutes afterwards, when the draw
was closed, it caught his arm. It
?eing dark he was not discovered lying
underneath the track.
It seems that when the steamer
3ity of Columbia arrived at the
uidge at 5:30 o'clock and the wat;nman
opened the draw for it to
\r.ss, but as train No. 15 was due at
>ix o'clock, lie hastened up the track
o place a signal to save the pas:ciiger
train from dashing into the
vaters of the Congaree river. Coning
hack to close the draw the watchnan
fell into the aperture used for
illing the machinery of the bridge,
shortly after the train crew closed
he draw and crushed the life out
if the unconscious man. Jefferson
lad been night watchman of the
Congaree bridge for thirty years.

lulph Boyleston Who Killed Cleveland
Funning.
Ralph Boyleston will serve the renainder
of his days in the peniontiary
for the murder of Clevoand
Fanning. The supreme court
Vednesday rendered a decision afirming
the decision of the circuit
ourt which found Boyleston guilty
f murder with recommendation to
he mercy of the court, which means
Ife imprisonment.
The murder for which Boyleston >
lust suffer was one of the most at- "
ocious in the history of the State. In ,
lie early summer of last year young
'aiming was found dead in a road
i Barnwell County and was suposed
to have been shot from amush.
Boyleston was indicted in June of
vSt year and the jury returned a
erdict of guilty. A motion for a
ew trial was made by Boyleston's
torneys upon the ground that there
as a total absence of evidence, nn.
f I'
i which the verdict could have been
ised, that the testimony showed
inclusively that although the defenint
had been at or near the place -r
here the dead body was found in.
e early part of the killing, yet
at he had left the place and there
is absolutely no evidence of any
aractor showing his return to the
ace and that the testimony as to
e tracks and the trailing of the
tunds was vague and indefinite, unrtain,
and not sufficient to connect
e defendant with the homicide.
The motion for a new trial was
erruled by the judge in the case
d Boyleston was sentenced to lraisonment
for his lifetime in the
nitentiary. He appealed the case
tht^ supreme court, which has just
ndered its decision confirming the
tlon of the circuit court in refusing
tyleston a new trial, and he will
ve to spend the balance of his days
the State Penitentiary. Boyleston
