Rioting Colored Cotton Pickers Shot
TO Death.

Rioting Colored Cotton Pickers Shot
TO Death.
Five rioting cotton pickers who were cap
tured in Lea County, Tenn, and who were
started OF to tina Mariana Jail, never
reached it After they were captured and
secured the posse captured four more and
the nine were being taken TO jail afoot In
charge Of Sheriff W. 7. Derrick and his dep
uties. The leader of the strikers, Ben Pat
terson, was shot before the nine were cap
tured.
He escaped being killed outright by feign-
ing death till the firing ceased. He only de-
layed his death few hours by slmuiauon.
Being too badly wounded to go either afooe
or horseback TO Jail. he was put aboard the
steamer James Lee, in charge OF Deputy
Sheriff Frank Mills, who was TO take him TO
Mariana, Tenn, by way OF Helena. De
was chained to piece OF machinery on the
boat.
At Hackers Landing the boat was sig
nailed to stop. AS soon as it touched the
bank fifteen men armed with Winchesters
boarded it and demanded Patterson of Mills
chester rifles. The colored desperate was
carried ashore and as the boat pulled out a
volley from the rifles told the story Of bis
fate. His slayers then struck out across
country to intercept Sheriff Derrick and his
nine prisoners. Heading them off they de-
manded of the Sheriff his prisoners. He and
the two deputies with him could not cope
with the determined body Of men which con-
frontsd them, and there was little hesitation
or parley. The nine men were lynched with
out ceremony or loss of time.
Under the leadership of dangerous colored
men there is telling where the trouble
would have ended. AS it was. white over
seer. Tom Miller, was shot to death, gin
house fired, and a lot of cotton destroyed.
The assassins and incendiaries banded To-
gether were intent on further mischief when
the white citizens started on the pursuit
which ended SO tragically. When Peyton
and Patterson were surprised they were on
their hands and knees crawling in the cane
brake. Peyton had the pistol he had taken
from the dead body of Miller, and started to
use it, but before he could raise it he was
shot many times, his fingers even being shot
off.
The feeling is intensely bitter against j.
F. Frank. on whose plantation the trouble
occurred. He is a wealthy merchant of
Memphis, and, being anxious to get his cot
ton picked, advanced the price of picking to
sixty cents per hundred Until then pickers
on other plantations were satisfied with their
wages

AMERICAN BOAT SEIZED,
The j. Hamilton Lewis Resists Rus.
sian Man-of-War.

News has just been received that the
American sealing schooner J. Hamilton
Lewis has been seized by the Russians for
poaching about Copper Island, and Captain
Mclean and his crew of twenty-five Ameri-
cans carried to Vladivostock for trial
The Lewis and two other schooners were OBJ
served cruising off Copper Island. The Rus
sian man-of-war Alert Swallowed them, and
finally caught the Lewis raiding the rookeries
on Behring Island, one of Russia's posses
sions. The American schooner was brought
to by a shot which lodged in her
hull. When toe Captain of the Lewis was
ordered to come aboard the Alert he took
with him all of his crew, and free fight en-
sued on the man-of-war. The Americans were
finally overpowered and sent under guard on
passenger steamer to Viadivostock The
seized schooner was taken there bv a
prize crew. The Russians are said to be
much excited over this bold raid on their
seal rookeries, and, 1t is said, severe punish
ment will be dealt out to the captured Amer
leans. The catch OF Cooper Island this
season is only $4,000 skins, about one-half
the usual number.

A DARING TRAIN ROBBERY.
An Express Car Rified at the Point of
q Revolver.

q Revolver.
A train robbery, with nearly all the thrill.
ing features that accompany such events in
the wild West, took place about A. NJ. on
Central Hudson railroad train between Al
bany, N. Y, and Little Falls, on train No.
81, a solid American Express train of six
cars, which left New York at $50 at night,
bound for Chicago.
At the hour named E. A. Moore, of Buffalo,
who had been in its employ fifteen years,
suddenly realized the fact that a stranger
stood over him, with two revolvers pointed
at his head, and demanded the surrender OF
his revolver and the key of the safe.
Moore was taken wholly by surprise, AMI
as the robber had taken his revolver, he had
to give up the key of the safe. The robber
then opened the safe, took out all the money
it contained, about $1,000, anu cutting the
hose of the air brake brought the train
nearly to a standstill and jumped off, start
ing in northerly direction.
AS soon as possible Moore made known to
the other men on the train what had taken
place. and they made search to see how the
robber got into the car. There was no mys-
terry about it, for hole large enough to ad-
NIT a mans body was found cut through the
forward end of the car. 1t was about six
an auger and saw. Once the intruder got
inside he concealed from the messenger
by the freight and could watch the mes
Senger without being seen himself. He
waited until Moore was making out certain
way bills and had him covered with the pis
tolls and at his mercy. The car that was
rohhed was the last one in the train.

For two years I suffered terribly

not work. Finally on the recon-.
