place a heavy guard around the negroes
until the arrival OF a train. a num-
Der Of citizens volunteered to act as
guards, but Richardson declined their
offer.
The funeral OF the victims OF the
yigilants occurred at Kerrville today.
There was demonstration.
The lynehlng has aroused a storm
Of Indignation. The Commercially

every nerve wrlthe with horror and
the heart stick with loathing for the
bloody beasts that committed 1t. Ev-

Last Monday Supervisor Beden-

as required by law. There were quite
number Of negroes who desired regis.
tration certificates. They were cha
peroned by Mr.. Robert Norman.
During the progress of the day Mr..
Moorman and Mr.. Beden5augh and
his brother and Mr.. G. S. Nichols, who
were in the office with him, had some
words. The Herald and News saw
Mr.. Bedenbaugh and he declined to
talk for publication,
AS the matter will come up before
the courts we have decided not to give
Mr.. Moorman's version at this time
either.
Mr.. Moorman says that be believed
that there was plot to do him bodily
harm, and he sent for Policeman Hun
ter and bad the other three arrested.
Mr.. Nichols had on a pistol and Mr..
Moorman has taken out warrant for
him for carrying concealed weapons.
The hearing is set for the 18th before
Justice Evans.
We understand there are other war
rants also, but they have not yet been
served.
These are simple statement of the
facts as we have been able to get them,
without comment. When the matter
comes up before the courts both sides
will be beard.
