KNOCKED HIM DOWN
And Four of Them Made Their
Escape.
ANOTHER JAIL DELIVERY.
All But One Captured—Jailer
Copeland Gets Bruised
Up a Little.
There was another jail escape yester
day afternoon.
It was managed in the same manner as
when Chester Scott and his associates
escaped a few weeks ago.
Five men escaped from their cells, and
crouched just inside the main door.
When Jailer Copeland opened it they
leaped upon him. Four got outside, but
within an hour three had been captured.
One is still at large. All are negroes.
The five who made the attempt are:
Jordan Ware, who did not get outside.
Jim Townsend, convicted of forgery,
and in jail waiting a hearing of bis appli
cation for a new trial; recaptured.
Dick Gordon, a boy convicted of as
sault to rape, and awaiting new trial; re
captured.
Sank Kemp, stealing cotton; recap
tured.
Henry Sadder white, stealing cotton;
when last heard of was traveling rapidly
away from Rome up near the brick yard.
The escape was made yesterday after
noon about 4 o’clock. The five who
made the attempt were in cells up stairs.
It is thought they received assistance
from two men in the hall to get out of
the cells. A bar of iron was wrenched
from its place, and with this the steel
lattice work between the hallway and
the outside corridor was pryed apart
sufficient for them to get through.
In the corridor they awaited the com
ing of the jailer. He goes in and locks
up just before dark every afternoon, and
they stood just inside the massive iron
door waiting for it to be unlocked.
As Copeland opened it they jumped
upon him and knocked him down. They
held him down and tried to take his pis
tol, but he clung to it until they became
afraid of help coming and fan ouL Cope
land shut Ware inside, and started after
the others. He fired his pistol twice,and
chased Townsend around the block,
catching him in front of Aycock’s stable.
The firing drew a crowd, and a chase
after the others was begun. All went
up town. Street Overseer Brown, Mr.
Johnson and others closed in on Gordon
and Kemp,on North Boundary street,and
with the assistance of Policeman Tom
Logan, they were returned to jail.
The remaining escape is an old negro,
with gray whiskers. It is said he was
captured twice, but succeeded in con
vincing the captors that he was not a
j til bird. He was chased to the brick
yard, and there is little chance of his
getting away.
Scott and his crowd got out in the
same way. It is a necessity that the
iron bars, so easily wrenched out of
place be all taken out, and that the jiilor
be more careful about opening the main
door.
HUNTERS’ HARDSHIPS.
They Are Taken For Burglars, or Thought
They Were.
Special to The Tribune.
Coosa, Ga., Nov. 23. —Duke Black and
Charley Harper are nrghty fine boys and
both good huntsmen, but they have some
mishaps with all their good luck.
They came in a store here yesterday
with’their pockets stuffed full of game,
and inquired for a young gentleman who
was to meet them here. As the afore
said gent hadjaot put in his appearance,
they concluded to_t>ke a lunch of sal
mon and crackers. The merchant left
“charge’d affairs” while he went around
to the house and sent his son to stay
with them while they lunched. As the
young man went into the store he picked
up one of the’guns sittikg on the out
side, to get it to a safer place. The gun
happened to be cocked, and was acci
dentally discharged into the ceiling.
This created considerable confusion in
the ranks, and the boys, thinking they
were in for a war with the enemy be
tween them and their guns, commenced
falling back in bad order. Duke turned
a double summersault over the counter,
and Charley slid into a dry goods box
like an eel going out of a trap, both yell
ing lustily, “don’t shoot me, we are not
burglars.”
BILL ADKIN’S DOC.
A Friend Says Mr. Adkins Didn’t Finish the
Stoay.
“I noticed Bill Adkins’ dog story in
The Tbibune,” said one of a group
yesterday, “and I have only one objec
tion to it. After telling as good a story
as he did, it seems to me he rather lost
an opportunity—and without straining
his conscience any more —by not adding
that the mother of the pups, after bury
ing them, shed tears on the grave, and
gathered a bnnoh of chrysanthemums
and placed them on it, put np a head
stone and preached a sermon. Bill is a
good one, and I can’t understand why he
slopped bls stogy where he did.’’ ..1 • >

Special to The Tribune.
Atlanta, Ga.. Nov. 23.—The negrpes
in thejeouaty; near Opelika,'
themselves this morning and laid
in wait for Jeff Whatley, a white farmer.
He had flogged a negro woman yesterday
for cursing his wife. More than 100 ne-
groes were in the mob threatening to kill
Whatley.
News reached Opelika and a possee of
whites went out, surrounded the negroes
and captured eleven of the ringleaders.
Several blacks were allowed to go, but

HARRY HILL
Is Released on Bond and Lett at Once.
Now He Is Wanted Again,
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 24.—H rry Hill
was released from jail today on $6,600
bond and immediately left the city. He
took the E. T., V. & G. train for Chatta
nooga. The bonds was signed by his

SEEING THE CITY-
Two Farmer* Investigate Kerne by Night
With Greatest Hilarity.
They came to town,! and sold their cot
ton, and then proceeded to investigate
the city under the glamour of electric
lights and moonbeams, while with their
small change inspiration was secured in
small glasses with straight water as a
chaser.
This was night before last and the cold
weather caused them to seek refuge in
rooms over a store on the upper end of
Broad street. They secured rooms and
with them companions who entered with
great zest and hilarity into the avowed
purpose of the strangers to continue the
search after inspiration byway of the
bottle route, and great was the result, so
it is judged by the results.
It was a little after 2 o’clock yesterday
morning that two men calling themselves
Bell, and stating that-their homes Were
near Adairsville, found a policeman, and
with chattering teeth told them this
much, —and more. They stated that the
lady who had so kindly allowed them the
use of the rooms had become too inti
mate with their pocketbooks and had
removed something like S7O. Then she
awoke them, and in tragic tones told them
that the police were coming—a base fab
rication, and hustled them outside into
the cold night air.
The officers listened and after investi
gation kindly allowed the Messrs. Bell to
lodge in warm cells. For company they
were given their companions in tho per
sons of Jim Duncan, his wife, whom they
charged with taking the money, Emma
McKenzie, a woman named Craig and
three other dilapidated specimens of the
same peculiar type of beauty.
Yesterday morning Recorder Fouche
tried »he whole lot. The men thought
they bad seen enough of the city for this
trip, but His Honor decided to allow
them to see the inside of the jail cr give
a SSO bond each. They went to jail. |
Duncan and his wife, the Craig woman
and the Keith woman followed. The in-:
spiration had given cut and the hilarity I
was of the same nature as that “not loud
out deep.” |
The Recorder had thirteen women be-,
fore him yesterday, most of them for I
drunk and disorderly conduct.

THE WBKBLY TBIBUNE, THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 30. 1»B8.
A RUSH OF COTTON.
The Streets Crowded With Cot
ton Wagons.
$20,000 TO THE FARMERS.
The Streets Get Blocked and
the Cotton Men Have a
Very Busy Day.
The streets of Rome presented the
busiest scene yesterday of any day this
year. Early in the morning wagons
loaded with cotton began coming in
from Pickens, Chattooga, Gordon and
Fannin counties, and from Alabama, and
the stream continued pouring in during
the entire day.
During the early m irning hour a Tbi
bune man counted a continuous string of
eighty-one wagons, and nearly every one
bore two or three bales. All of these
were from Pickens county,and the others
coming in from the same direction made
a procession that with few breaks lasted
for hours. They filled up the lower ends
of Broad street, East First street and
West First street, as well as the cross
streets between these.
The business streets were crowded all
day.
A majority of the wagons came fifty
miles, and some a good deal further.
Most of them started out from home on
Honday morning, the teamsters camping
in bodies that night and Tuesday night.
They spent yesterday and last night
here, and will leave this morning.
Yesterday was decidedly the biggest
day for street cotton of the year. So
crowded were the streets that as wide as
Broad street is, at the intersection of
Fifth avenue a block occurred that
stopped all passage until Policeman
Guice straightened it out.
In all, Rome received 1,000 bales yes
terday, and the week’s receipts are ex
pected to almost reach 5,000. Twenty
thousand dollars were paid in person to
those who brought cotton by wagon. A
Pickens county man said at least $6,000
has been paid farmers from there yester
day.
—Whatare they doing with the roonev,
is a question frequently asked. Some of
the cotton meh say the farmers are not
putting in the banks, are not trading
much, and are not doing very much to
ward paying their debts.
Mr. J. W. Rounsaville said to the
Tribune that their collections had been
ext aordinarily good, and they had no
room to complain.
“The farmers do not owe much,” he
said, “and with the rest of their money
they are preparing for next year.”
Mr. R. D. Vandyke says his collections
are splendid, and trade is excellent.
Hamilton & Co. are of the opinion that
the farmers are carrying their money
home. Collections not up to expecta
tion.
The Simpson Grocery Company re
ports fair collections and trade.
“Trade today has been good,” said Mr.
R. J. Ragan, “and collections are fair. I
don’t think the farmers are carryingas
much money home with them as is gen
e;ally supposed.”
I “The crowd here today,” said Mr. W.
H. Coker,didn’t “owe much in Rome, and
j they didn’t do much trading considering
! that $20,000 was paid out to them. I
bought 164 bales myself.”
i Mr. Coker bought 100 bales in forty
minutes, which, Gus Shropshire says,
■ breaks the record.

A THRILLING FIGHT
Last Night by a Farmer Near Rome and
Three Burly Negroes.
John Hambrick, living near Rounsa
ville’s Mill, had a thrilling experience last
night.
He had a hand-to-hand conflict with
three negroes, and in the struggle he and
one of his assailants were badly injured.
It was a terrible battle, but Mr. Ham
brick came out alive. All three of the
would-be robbers escaped.
Mr. Hambrick came to Rome yesterday
with a bale of cotton and sold it. He
returned home, and in the early part of
the night was sitting alone before a big
fire in his house about six miles from tbe
city. Suddenly three burly negroes
broke down the door and rushed in.
“Give us that money,” they demanded.
“What money?”
“That money you got for your cotton.
And be quick about it.”
They advanced as they spoke, and in a
moment the four were engaged in a
desperate struggle. With great courage
and amazing success Mr. Hambrick
fought the three. No weapons were
used, and for many minutes the fight
went on. Up and down the room they
battled, all taking a band, and the de
fender of his property hold ng his own.
There were cries and curses, and deep
were the oaths of the negroes as they
realized that they had such a fight on
their hands. As they clinched and
fought, they approached the big fire
place. Mr. Hambrick and one of the
negroes were hugging eacn other in
deathly embrace The others became
frightened, and with a shove toward the
fire they ran out of the door.
Mr. Hambric! and his assailant fell
into the fire.
Both leaped from it, and with their
clothing blazing, and yelling in pain the
last of the trio of robbers rushed from
the house. -
Mr. Hambrick crawled out only to find
serious burns on the left side. The left
arm was rendered useless for the time,
and in great pain he hurried to have help
summoned. All of the assailants had
disappeared, but .a posse was soon se
cured to chase them. Word was sent
here to Sheriff Moore, and a strong effort
will be made to capture tbe guilty ones.
Mr. Hambrick is very seriously hurt,
but it is hoped he will recover.

effect.
Later they all cooled down,and strange
