| One Negro Killed.
SAVANNAH, Ga, Dec. IA riot in the
negro district of this city Thursday resulted
IN the death OF one person and the probable
fatal wounding of several Others Policeman
McMurray ordered a crowd of drunken aud
dlsorderly negroes to di sperse. One Of the
negroes snatched the officers club and beat
him over the head with it, The officer shot
at bis assailant, who fed, with the officer in
pursuit, firing as he ran. A mob numbering
several hundred then rushed at the officer
and badly injured him with clubs, bricks and
stones. He took refuge in a house aud
barred the doors and windows.
The mob tore off the blinds. smashed in
the windows, battered down the door. and
quickly reduced the officer to insensibilitv
In this condition his body was thrown into
the street and beaten almost into a pulp by
the infuriated blacks, the women taking as
ferocious part in the work as the men.
Officer Cronan, who came to the rescue, was
soon in the same condition as McMurray. A
man named Crimmons then rushed up to
save the officers life, snatched his club and
attempted to hold the mob ut bay. He was
quickly oyerpowered and beaten into insen-
sibility. About this time squad OF police
officers from headquarters arrived on the
scene, and the mob scattered like sheep.
The negro shot by McMurray is dead, and
another negro is believed to be mortally
wounded. It Is also thought that Others are
wounded, but how seriously has not yet been
ascertained. Whether Crimmons and the
officers who were beaten will recover or not
can not be determined. Eight arrests have
been made
About 10 o'clock a negress was murdered
by her paramour near the scene OF the riot
