SHERIFF S WILD RIDE
Sheriff McConnell Tells of His Trip on
Locomotive to Dalton.
AN EXPERIENCE HE'LL NEVER FORGET
“Once is Enough to Liat MeaDle Time"
Said the Genial Officer—Stewart Knew
Nothin z About the Case
♦ •
•‘That was my first trip on a locomo
t ve and if I can hs)p it will be the last,”
said Sheriff J. P. McConnell to a Tribune
reporter last night.
The genial sheriff had reference to the
run from here to Dalton last Thursday
afternoon. He had received orders tb
bring John Stewart, a negro serving
time in the Floyd county chaingang for
selling whiskey, to Dalton at once.
There was no regular train ready
when the negro was brought to town,
and a special engine was fired up to’ car
ry the sheriff and witness to the scene.
"Bill McLendon was at the throt
tle/’ said Mr. McConnell, ‘‘and I’ll
tell you he pulled her wide open. Mr.
Saunders sat in front on the pilot,
and the Lord only knows how he
managed to stay there. I know I had
trouble in clinging to my position in
the engine cab.
"Why, that negro convict and I had
to bang on like grim death. The way
that iron horse flew down the level
stretches, rounded curves, bumped
over switches was a caution. We had
to stop at some place about fifteen
minutes for a train, but that forty
miles intervening between Rome and
Dalton was covered in a remarkably
short while. Excuse me from any
more such rides soon.”
Mr. McConnell returned yesterday
with his prisoner. Stewart was wanted
as a witness against Capt. Peeples, but
said he knew nothing about it. It is
believed that the negro knew more than
he would tell,

COTTON MARRBT DECLINES.
Yesterday Saw It Drop Five Paints More—
Twenty-Seven Points For WeeK.
The cotton market dropped off five
points yesterday, making a total decline
of twenty seven points for the week.
The downward tendency is very dis
couraging to farmers, and their hope
that fanjy good prices would be realized
seems doomed to disappointment. There
can be no hope of a betterment soon,
and well posted men predict five cent
cotton in a short time.
WHITFIELD’S DENIAL. ’
Will Whitfl>l<i-ays He Did Not See Hallet
on the Night of the Fire
The Tribune a day or so since pub
lished an interview with George Hal
let, who is in jail on charges of arson.
Hallet told a very straightforward
story to a Tribune man and a reporter
for the Commercial. In the inter
view lie spoke of seeing and talking
Will Whitfield shortly after the
fire in Priutup’s warehouse broke out.
Whitfield on yesterday made the fol
lowing statement to a representative
o' this paper: •
“I deny that George Hallett saw or
talked with me on the night of the
fire. His statement in that respect
is untrue and has no truth in it. I
did not even see, much less talk with
Hallet on the night of the fire in the
Printup warehouse.
