COTTON FIRE SUNDAY.
Twenty-two bales of cotton be
longing to S.jBrasch were badly
damaged Sunday morning by
fire on the platform at the upper
end of Front street.
The fire probably originated
from some bum smoking there
and dropping sparks among the
bales. The damage will proba
bly run close to $1,000, but is
fully covered by insurance.
The fire company was late in
reaching the scene, having first
been sent to the compress.
TO ASSAULT.
fcontincd from pasre 1.)
we zme a few facts relative to
^ paving Newport, which have
5®Jn furnished us from reliable
d knowing parties.
The negro has been employed
for several weeks at the South
ern Cotton Oil Mill, and when
paid off Saturday night by W. A.
O’Neal, expressed his intention
of beating his way to St. Louis.
He was then dressed in a suit of
bib overalls. He wore this same
suit when he left his boarding
house that night after supper.
He was seen in O’Neal’s saloon
forty minutes after the crime oc
curred by Sheriff Bandy, Board
Bond and Mr. Sutton, and at that
time had on this same suit of bib
overalls and wore shoes that
were round toed and had no
heels.
The fact that he jumped off a
fast train, discarded his shoes
and coat and tried to escape
across the country go to show he
is the guilty man, but his story
that the trainmen took his money j
for fare and scared him up by
accusing him of the crime here, j
made the attempt to escape a j
very natural outcome.
Will O’Neal says that this ne
gro is one of that class who don’t
know how to dress up, whereas
the attempted assaulter is de
scribed as a sporty looking negro.
Duggitt is also a very large ne
gro, which does not tally with the
description of the man wanted,
SALOONS CLOSED.
Large crowds congregated
Monday in the vicinity of the jail
and for fear that a lynching bee
might again be inaugurated the
mayor requested the closing of
all saloons, which was complied
with.
The investigation took a new
turn Monday when Jim' Shaw, a
section hand on the Iron Moun
tain, who lives over in the rail
road yards, brought forward a
new clue.
He says he was at home alone
when a negro, whom he knew by
the name of Bud, and whose last
name he thinks is Taylor, when
between nine and ten o’clock
on Saturday evening, h e
heard several raps on the door.
He asked whojit was several times
but received no answer. When
he opened the door, he found his
acquaintance Bud, who was out
of breath from’ running and said
he was in trouble. Shaw refused
to let him stay and the negro left
with the former’s bar of soap,
presumably to use in washing
himself, for he was quite muddy
says Shaw.
The officers are now working
on this clue trying to get a good
description of the said negro and
to learn of his whereabouts.
No less fate than hanging is
due the fiend who committed
the crime, but no city nor county
can afford to see lynched an in
nnppnt man Tt. wrmld bp a last
ing reproach to our civilization
and love of right and justice.
The negro Duggitt is not be
lieved to be guilty by many of
the people who are the best in
formed and our knowledge of the
facts does not support the view
that he committed the crime. A
more complete investigation
should at least be had, before j
death is meted out to one who j
may be innocent.

“Wine of Cardui is certainly 'worn

settled all over me, particularly in the
abdomen. I was in almost constant pain.
I consulted a 'physician and took his
medicine for a month and without any
relief. I then decided I would try your
medicine and it was a lucky day for me
