Lynch n Station Agent.
STAFFoRD's PoINT. Tex, Feb. GA half
grown negro boy offered an insult to the
wife of DR.. Cochran yesterday. She repor ted
the matter to her husband on his return
and the doctor classified the boy. Last
night while at the railway station, Clin ton
Edwards. the boys father. met DR.. Coch-
ran. who IS one-armed man, and after
wordy quarrel. the negro picked up a stone
with which he felled the Doctor to the
earth. As be fell Dr.. Cochran pulled
his pistol and put three bullets into Ed
wards, killing HIM instantly. William
Watts. station agent of the Southern Pa
cific, dsarmed Cochran and then q mum ber
of negroes assaulted Watts. They accused
him of having assaulted Edwards and de-
manded his life. DR.. Cochran told the ex-
cited crowd he was the guilty party. but
the mob was bent on lynchiDg Watts.
Watts managed to reach the inside of the
depot, which he had arricaded. and with
the arms he had there and the assistance
of the telegraph operator. managed To hold
the crowd at bay. Meantime. he teephOned
TO Richmond. Houston and other towns for
assistance. While this was going on the
negroes were also securing relnforcements.
and their frey leaders proposed burning
the depot and the town. just as they were
about to put their designs into execution
an engine pulled into the town with the
sheriff and posse of armed men. 1t was
with difficulty he could get the crowd
quiet. DIR. Cochran surrendered. but the
mob clamored for Watts the station agent.
In the hubbub the sheriff. to appease them
arrested Watts also. and quickly getting
the two men on the train, the posse pulled
out for Richmond. where the men VIII be
held until an examination takes place.

SINGULAR ACCIDENT.
Escaping Natural Gas Found an Outlet in q
Hollow Trolley POle-Damage Done.

For several days past persons passlng 9
the corner of Illinois and Market streets
have noticed the escape of natural gas. The
gas escaped from the main of the H.
dianapOlis Natural-Ras Company. and
yesterday morning 1t found its way up
through one of the hollow iron trolley poles
on the Illinois-street electric line. The
gae was ignited by q spark from the trolley
of q passing motor car, as it is supposed,
and blaZed forth from the pole to o height
of some five or six feet. The flames burned
out the insulation of the four feed and two
power wires letting them fall. Their
weight coming upon the other poles
bent and twisted them so that 1t
was necessary 10 repair them. The gas
burned from the pole for nearly an hour
and attracted q large crowd
ut the corner. It was finally
extinRuIshed by ths use of hand grenades.
In consequence of the dropping of the
wires traffic on the North IlllnOis-street
and other lines using the tracks at this
point was stopped for several hours.

Rain Followed by Snow and Cold Weather
In the West ana Northwest
CHICAGO, Feb. 6.-Chicsgo was flooded
this morning. Tonight it is freezing up
as tight as drum. Much damage has been
caused by the overflow of water from the
streets. Whole districts of the city are in.
undated, the sewer department is badly
crippled, and. in the face Of
these conditions, zero weather is
bearing down upon the lake regions. Never
before has the situation in this city been
more serious. and the authorities are abso-
luteIy pOwerless to avert the inevita BILE
consequences. There are in the sewer sys-
tenn $4,000 catch basins, the ajOrity Of
which were frozen up by the recent severe
weather. The American Express Company,
fremont House. Adams Express Company
and several of the public schools have been
badly flooded and have called upon the
city for help. Four hundred men have
been put to work in the downtown DIS
trlcts and every effort is being made to
open up the catch basins. The rapid
changes in weather. thawIng one day and
freezing the next. have made it an utter
impossibllltv to keep the catch basin clear
of ice.
Dispatches from many points indicate
that the worst blizzard of the season made
life miserable to the people of Iowa, Ne

some places there are three feet of snow
and at others the temperature dropped, in q
few hours, from 200 to 500.
