son. Behind these a posse of 50 or
75 citizens formed a wavering cres
cent. After a horrified glance, the
young woman cried: “That's the
one.;'
Who fired the shots nobody could
say. There was a roar of powder,
rushing together of the crowd and far
down the road the clattering of horses
that bore the county police. They
swept Into the yard to find the assail
ant stretched in a pool of blood, con
fessing that he had committed the
crime, The young lady In the mean
time had fainted and was tnreatened
with severe convulsions.
How sudden the firing had been Is
shewn from the fact that one of the
bullets grazed tho forearm of B. H.
Johnson and passed beween the fin
gers of Mr. Poole, the father, both of
whom were holding the prisoner.
Credit for the discovery of the ne
gro Is due in tho first Instance to
faithful dog named Troupe. Earlier In
the day Troupe had been missed
from his pack and it was supposed
by the posse that he had gono amuck
like an excited puppy. He had not
beet, seen for over three hours. About
2:30 o’clock, however, while T. M.
Poole, a cousin to Mias Poole. B. L.
Johnson and Mr. McGee, a city fire
man, were beating the underbrush a
mile west of Lakewood, they caught
a glimpse of Troupe holding guard by
a little cabin across the fields. The
dog capered dellghtdly on seeing bla
masters and sniffed with excitement.
In the cabin were three negroes, one
of them a woman and one tallying
with tho description of the assailant.
All of them appeared uneasy, having
at first refused admittance to the par
ty. • The suspect, a negro about 22
years old and of average height, had
partly changed his clothes. Near
him lay a muddy pair of shoes. He
was taken out by the three men and
the harried tramp to the Pooic home
began. Once In crossing a Tittle
stream through the woods the negro
made n lurch ror escape. But fie was
carried safely on and 20 minutes later
he was dead.
On a second examination Drs. O. N.
Hardin and Monroe Smith stated on
Wednesday that, the negro had not
been 1 successful In his attempt at
criminal asault and that Mias Poole's
Injury was limited to that of a ner
vous character.

Savannah, Ga., July 30.—A member
of the police committee of tho city
council drove over the city, Sunday
having a look at the saloons. He
reported that he was satisfied with
the‘result of bis inspection, as but few
of the shops seemed to be open and
doing business.
Cases were made against two of the
saloon keepers. One was made by
a policeman, who said he found the
place open; another was made by a
civilian, who charged the proprietor
with pointing a pistol at him. The
proprietor claimed the thirsty cttlxen
was trying to force his way Into the
saloon to get a- drank because of the
drought that the closing had created,
and that It was in resisting this enter
prise that the presenting of tho weap
on was rendered necessary.
All in all. It was, the dryest Sun
day Savannah has known for some
time.

Negro and If Captured, a Lynch7ng
May Follow—Girl In Very Nervous
Condition.
Atlanta, July 31.—According to
telephone message sent to the police
station and to the sheriff's office, An
nie Poole, the pretty 15-year-old daugh
ter of John Poole .was criminally as
saulted Tuesday morning about 10
o'clock near her home, one-half mile
from Lakewood.
The negro, after accomplihlng the
crime, made his escape Into the
woods. The young lady was able to
give only a meagre description of
the brute, owing to her excitement and
nervous condition.
Officers hurried to the scene end
neighbors quickly organised Into a
posse to pursue the brute. If over
taken, the criminal will probably be
lynched, as the citlsens are enraged
over the bru.nl crime.
Miss Poole was on her way to a
neighbor's house when the criminal
attack was made.
The unknown negro met her In a
field, whleh she had to cross to reach
the neighbor's house, and overcome
