A NOES VIOLENCE.
Unruly Italians Attack - Negro Colony Mes
SprfnR Valley. Ill.


SPRING VALLEY, Ill, Aug. 5.-The
location, patch of some hundred odd
company houses near No. 3 shaft, in
habited almost exclusively by negroes,
was yesterday morning visited by q
vengeful mob of 500 Italian miners and
given a taste of mob violence. Satur-
day night near midnight five colored
menheld up a white man named Barney
Role between this city and the loca-
ton, and after robbing him of nearly
500 in money, fired three pistol shots
into him and left him for dead. Role
is the third man shot at the location in
the past few weeks.
When the white miners of this city
yesterday morning heard of the out
rage they assembled on the public
square and decided to march in body
to General Manager DalzelIs house
and demand of him the discharge of
every colored man in the location. A
brass band was secured and the mob
repaired to the general managers
house. He refused to grant what the
white miners wanted. They then told
him that, as he was not disposed to
run them out of town, they would
take the matter up themselves, and
with that they marched toward No. s.
By the time the mob arrived at the
location most of the negroes, having
been notified of the wrath of the
whites, had fled to the woods About
a dozen were caught and treated to
most violent kicks. Stones were
hurled at them and shots fred. Two
were shot, but not seriously hurt
BY noon yesterday every negro had
fed the city. All afternoon a gang of
men with pistols and shotguns secured
the woods, hunting for negroes to
shoot at. Sheriff Clark, who was tel
egraphed for, arrived in the afternoon,
with a dozen deputies. No more
trouble is anticipated, unless the ne
groes attempt to come back.

DIR. Bowman, the pastor, had just
pronounced the benediction at the
morning services when the bolt struck
the belfry, running around the edifice
under the weatherboard and down IN
der the flooring. The services hav-
ing been all but concluded, many
persons were in the vestibule and
aisles of the church. Besides the
seriously injured, fourteen persons
were MANNED and Scared. The
houses of the town were turned into
emergency hospitals and the victims
are being cared for. Sexton Bauman
had his coat torn from his back and
one of his shoes was stripped as by
knife. Horses broke the tie posts out
side the church and many of them ran
away. A veritable panic followed the
stroke. After the excitement had sub
sided it was found that the 600 pound
bell in the cupola was hanging almost
on a thread, while fully 100 persons
were directly under it. The church
edifice is almost a wreck, as the light
ming penetrated from all sides.
