3,000 Cavalry Horses Stam
peded Through
'l'tiE CAMPS AT TAMPA.
Scented Battle From afar And
Rush on The Tents.
Washington, June 17.—A spe
cial to The Post from Tampa
says that at 10 o’clock last night
3,000 horses and mules broke
from their corralsand stampeded
through the camps of Gen. Car
penter’s brigade. It was so dark
and the excitement was so great
in the District of Columbia camp
it was impossible to learn if any
men were hurt. The panic
among the men was terrible
Officers tried to get their com
panies into line, but the army
of wild horses made that impos
sible. Many men began shooting
at the excited animals, but thi?
only excited them more.
It seemed impossible to stop
the stampede, 'lhe horses s em
od to be attracted by’ the tents,
and they rushed through the
brigade of three regiments and
then back again, taking a differ
ent course each time. They have
already destroy) d many’ tents,
kitchen and camping paraphe
nalia.
It is not known what started
the animals on their wild rush
Taps had just sounded in all the
camps, and the bands had play
ed their good nights. The men
were hardly asleep when a
loud cracking like the firing of
gatding guns startled them. Ii
was the breaking down of the
corral fence, a high wooden af
fair. In the next moment the
infuriated and panting horses
rushed into the New York camp,
which was nearest the break in
lhe fence. The rush sounded
like a thunder storm. The New
York cam r s sentinels began to
yell like mad.
“Call out the guard ! Call out
the guard I”
The guard hurried out, but it
was useless, as the animals were
then rushing over everything in
their path. In half an hour the
camps had been stampeded three
times, and there seemed to be
no hope of driving the beasts
away- from the camps.
Forty men were mounted by
11 o’clock, and they were able
to check the rush some little,
and at least to steer the horses
from the camp.
you have to see the park as 1
saw it last night, before you can
comprehend what degree of dis
grace a civilized citizen army
can stoop to.”
Judge Henry has returned
from Atlanta and he and Solici
tor General Mose Wright will
probably begin operations in
Walker county next week.

81LDIERS TOO Li.TE.
Black Brutes Pay the Penalty
for Their Grime.
Montgomery, Ala., June 17.
The doors of the county jail at
Wetumpka were broken in lasi
night and a mob of five hundred
ingry farmers seized Loui?
Speer, Jeff Thompson, Will and
Reese Jackson, four negroes,and
started with them for a point
seven miles down the coutry.
It was one of the most deter
mined jail breakings that has
ever been known in this state
for years. The National Guard
companies from this citv are in
the Federal camp in Mobile
Had they been here the jail
breaking at Wetumpka would
likely hr.ve been thwarted.
William Carden was a pros
perous and popular farmer liv
ng Southwest from Wetumpka
His household consisted of his
wife ?nd her brother. They were
all old people. Tuesday night
iheir building was burglarized
nd the three aged occupants
were murdered by having their
brains knocked out with an ax.
About $3,000 in money was se
nired by the robbers and the
house was burned to the ground
The five negroes lived m the
neighborhood and their actions
since the murder nave attracted
suspicion. Yesterday they were
arrested and carried to the jail
at Wetumpk i. Carden’s neigh
bors and farmer friends soon
banded and inarched on We
tumpka.
At 6 o’clock last night the ri< t
alarm was rung by the bell in
Montgomery. Those of the Na
tional Guard who still remain
here hurried to the armory,,
-'quipped with all manner of
guns and side arms. It was one|
hour and a half before the 103
citizen soldiers left on their spe
cial train. Before the train was
well out of the depot the news
came by telephone from We
tumpka that the mob had su -
ceeded in battering down the
jail door and had started with
ihe five prisoners for the scene
of the crime.
The military reached Wetump
ka about 9 :30 o’clock, but the
mob had made away with the
pris ners long before. Very little
doubt is felt at Wetumpka that
they will be hanged befoie morn
ing.
