Atlanta, Ga., July 2.—Will Ro per ihe young mountaineer who was some lime since shot three or four times and afterward thrown into a mine shaft over fifty teet deep is destined soon to look into tile faces of his alleged assailants- Roper as will be remembered, was brought to Atlanta last week in a half dead condition and plac ed in St. Joseph’s infirmary, where he is slowly recovering. Soon after his arrival in Atlanta he gave the names of hie supposed assailants to the deputy marshals and efforts we<e at once put od foot to effect their capture, it was rumered that the white caps took fright and fled to the moun tains of Murry county, where they entrenched themselves with the avowed determination of resisting arrest. Reports from Murry county stated that they had vided themselves with 500 rounds of cartridges and would not be taken alive. Six deputy mashals were dis patched to the scene with instruc t.ons to arrest the whitecappers dead or alive, and those who were familiar with the situation hourly anticipated a bloody battle between the officers and the outlaws. A telegram received last night from Dalton now puts a difierent phase on the situation. It is to the effect that J. W. Redd, J. M. Morrison and J. T. Morrison, three of the alleged white caps had voluntarily sur rendered themselves to the author ites. They appeared before United States Commissioner H. C. Hamilton at Dalton yesterday morning and Redd and J. M. Morrison wen bound over in the sum of $1,0(0 each. J. T. Morrison was required to give a bond of $2,000. The excess of the latter’s bond over the others was due to the sac that J. M. Morrison and Reda were in Dafton on the night that Rope l " claims to have been assailed by them and can probably prove alibies. It i* said that they at tended the college commencement and were seen by a number ©1 prominent Daltonians at a late hour that night. Payne Duncan and William Morrison, two other men who were also implicated by Roper as partic iprting in the assault upon him, are still at large, but it is general ly understood in Dalton that they will also surrender themselves within the next few hcurs. Antic ipating such an outcome. District Attotney Joe James has placed their bonds at $2,000 each. The trial of this case, involving as it does so many sensational and marvelous details, will be watched with interest throughout the Un ion.

Quite a sensation was sprung yesterday morning, when it leaked out. that a “New Prophet” was iu the city and that even then he was preaching unto the colored sinners of North Rome. The story was made more sen sational when it became known that the “prophet,” like Adam iu the Garden of Eden was clothed only in climate. Complaint was made to the au thorities, and deputy Sheriff J. P. M-cCouuell, accompanied by his son Raymond and officer Cope land, went out to investigate. Jn a cabin, near John Reese’s suburban home the officers found I the False Prophet and his congre gation. Some of the members had seen the officers approaching from afar and had hustled the Prophet into his raiment, and when tlu oflicers arrived under the gales ol the new temple the Prophet rush ed on them, charging like a mad bull. The officers clinched with him and a desperate struggle ensued; it resulted iu the pinioning of th. powerful mad man. He .was led thence toward the street car line but ?e went not in peace but raised his voice and cussed out every thing in sight. The walk was a one. and was made all the more fatigueing because of the fact that a young disciple of the Prophet, dogged the steps of the officers who were tore mg the Prophet along. At the car line the conductor refused to take the caravan aboard because of the wild flow of profan ity that eminated from the black HDB of tbe unmuzzled. Fortunate ly for the heated and wearied of ficers. Prof. E. L. Pollock came along in his buggy and seeing the lay of the land offered transporta tion. The Prcphet cursed the officers and told them to put him in the buggy if they wauled him in, and oe had to be handled thusly. At the jail about 200 negroes had assembled by the time Shiek Isham arrived. He was lifted from (he buggy and carried to a cell and turned in Five minutes later he was iu “negligee.'’ and was again calling the people to judge ment. The prisoners at the jail were a sleepy set when the Hustler en tered those hallowed walls this morning. r l hey say that the Prophet who gives his name as, Isom Mitchell, Henry Goodman Walker, alias I. H. Anderson, walked his cell all night and preached and swore by turns He was clothed iu climate and raving iike a third partyite when tbe Hustler interviewed him this morning. Officer McConnell went out this afternoon to investigate Shiek Ishams congregation, of yesterday which is said to have numbered about 40 souls, some of whom were wondertully impressed with the “new prophet” and new doctrines.
