THREE FIENDS DIE
TWO SHOT AND THEIR BODIES
CUT TO PIECES.
Within u Few Months II Other Black
Men Have Been Hanged In This
same Section Of Florida.

Live Oak. Fla. June l6.-Three more
negroes have been lynched by Lafay-
ette county citizens for an assault on
a white woman. The press dispatches
reported that only one negro. Bill Col
lins. had been killed. but reasonable in
formation just received makes it cer-
tain that the lynchers claimed three
victims.
The young woman upon whom the
attack was made is Miss jeanette AL
len. only is years old and the belle of
Lafayette county. On Friday morning
about o'clock Miss Allen was awak-
ened by noise in her room. As she
moved. her arm was clutched by me-
gro, whom she recognized as Bill Col
lins, one Of her fathers employees. The
negro threatened the girl with death IL
she made noise. but Miss Allen, fear-
ing fate worse than death. gave a
scream that alarmed the household and
caused the negro to flee. The negro
was chased all Friday. and about
nightfall was captured.
Collins was identified by Miss Allen,
but while preparations were being
made to lynch him. he escaped. All
Saturday and Saturday night the negro
was pursued. The chase led through
the phosphate region. where negroes
are numerous. and two of Collins
friends tried TO conceal him. These two
negroes were shot by the pursuers, and
their bodies were placed on the Savan-
nah. Florida & Western railroad, that
was near where they were. and cut to
pieces By passing trains. Their man.
gled bodies were discovered on Sunday
morning. Several trains had passed
| over the bodies. and Identification was
| impossible.
Collins. the assailant of Miss Allen,
was recaptured by the pursuers early
on Sunday morning. He was taken 10
| the scene OF the assault. and notices
were sent out for people TO gather to
aid in lynching him. n great crowd
assembled. and at noon on Sunday the
negro was hanged and his body riddled
with bullets. The corpse was cut down,
weighted with stones and thrown into
| the river.
In eight months Il negroes have been
put to death in Lafayette county for
assaults on white women. In Novem-
Der last a young woman was assaulted.
For this crime eight negroes were
killed within few months.

year s1i6.Si0. is6. and from internal rev.
enue sources sl36s5i.163. The present
deficit of sis. .i00,9 $50 Is likely to be re-
duced by the cutting of expenditures
by about s5.000.000 for the full fiscal
year. Notwithstanding this the show
ing for the years operations, there Is
no expectation from any source OF an
extra session of congress or other bond
issue before the regular meeting De-
cember.
To-day the gold reserve amounts to
about $99. SOC, 900. with an available cash
balance OF nearly s1si 1000. 200. which Is
regarded as ample to meet all ordinary
demands. The spirit Of confidence and
security which pervades the treasury
department at this time Is largely due
TO the provision In the last bond con-
tract obligating the syndicate to pro-
tect the gold In the treasury from
Withdrawals from export. The ability
of the syndicate to carry out this pro-
vision has been amply demonstrated
during the last several months. when
the ratio of exchange has at times
ruled far above the export point. This
obligation cannot be discharged until
October next. At the present time the
syndicate owes the government about
$500, 900 on its contract. and while the
entire issue of bonds has been taken
in London, deliveries will be made only
as fast as gold Is deposited.
