GUTHRIE, O T., June 13-There was
great excitement in this city last night.
occasioned by two criminal assaults by
negroes upon white women yesterday. A
negro lad named Holley assaulted Mrs.
Charles Moore, the wife of a freieh,er.
who was away from home at the time.
lie was arrested, and q mob surrounded
the Jail, threatening to lynch him. The
negroes OF the town claimed tn At Holley
was innocent, although he had con-
tossed his guilt to the sheriff, and a race
war seemed imminent for time.
There was much angry talk, Judge"
Perkins, negro lawyer, being spokes-
man for the colored people. During
the excitement. he said: Let the
whites harm that man and the town
will be in ashes before morning."
The sheriff struggled the prisoner
from Jail and took him to Wichita, Kan.
for safe keeping.
The second outrage was that made
upon the wife of James Genken, who is
the engineer of the electric plant, by
an unknown negro, who escaped. 4
posse, headed by Genken, is on his
trail, and will lynch him If they capture
him.
There now seems to be considerable
DOUBT as to the removal of llolley from
the Jail. The negroes saw that tho
statement was circulated by tho whites
so that tho negroes would dispense and
give the whites n FREQ field for lync hing.
~ great mob OF negroes now surrounds
the jail and more arc arriving every
minute. Tho negroes have sent cour-
iers to Langston City the nero
colony ten miles distant. with the
report that the whites are about
to lynch an innocent negro. and many
negroes arc Hooking here, determined
TO protect the object of the white mems
vengeance. Many of the negroes are
armed. and hundreds OF whites arc car
rying Winchesters and revolvers The
police have boen largely REINFORCED.
Intense excitement prevails. and
any insignificant encounters between n
black and white man may lead to a
race war.
Later.-Comparative quiet reigns this
morning. The disarmament of the bois-
ferrous negroes and whites had much to
do with calming the excited people and
no more trouble is anticipated. Hio hol-
ley, the negro who assaulted woman
Saturday night, has been removed to the
Wichita Jail. The story Of the:other as
sault that is supposed to have been
made by Anthony Lawson, for which
the later was said to have been killed
by q mob, is untrue.
Lawson attempted to break into
Genkcn's house, but was driven away.
There is nothing to show he contem-
plated any further crime. A committee
of vigilants has been formed and divided
into three companies each to do duty
eight hours daily and, together with
the officers, will be able to preserve
peace.
