NEGRO DESPERATE LYNCHED BY A
MOB OF WEST vIRGINIANs.
His Name Was Jones, and He Had
Killed a Postmaster and Wounded
a Conductor and Miner.

BLUEFIELD, w. Va, Jan. S-Alex.
Jones, negro desperate. boarded a pas
senger train at Keystone last night. He
was under the influence of whisky, very
boisterous and quarrelsome. Conductor Nc
Cullough came through the cars, and after
demanding fare from Jones, advised him to
be quiet. The negro became much incensed
and when an attempt was made to eject
him he pulled two revolvers from a belt
and began firing promiscously through the
train. which was crowded with passengers.
He emptied both revolvers and attempted
TO reload, but was overpowered by the
trainmen. When the sUoke had cleared
away and the excitement had abated it
was discovered that w. III. Strother, post
master at Elkhorn. was shot through the
abdomen. The wound resulted in almost
instant death. Conductor Mccullough was
shot in the side. but not seriously, and
Peter Rice, a colored miner, was shot
through the right breast and probably
fatally injured.
Jones was incarcerated in the Elkhorn
jail to await the arrival of a train by
which to convey him to Huntington for
safe keeping. The train arrived at 2 a. m.
and the officers and prisoner boarded it
without molestation. Meanwhile a mob had
been organized at Welch. fifteen miles west
of Keystone. and had marched to Hemphill,
small station one mile west of WEIGH.
The train was tagged by a danger signal
and the mob numbering one hundred men,
boarded it, and, with pointed Winchesters,
forced the officers 10 release their prisoner
They dragged Jones a short distance to a
tree, where he was swung to a limb and
his body riddled with bullets. the following
note being attached: This deed was done
for the purpose of example and warning
to negroes. Bewarer
Some of the most prominent and infiuen-

angry mob. but ii proved to be futile. w.

men in this section and had numerous

American. Among the twelve men locked
up for the murder OF Lenz were four Ar

Mr. Shipley, which has been quoted above

villages destroyed. He was unable 10 gather
any evidence as TO the truth of the alleged
massacre at the convent of Surperpa. but
he thinks that all such stories were so
enormously exaggerated IL not absolutely
invented. He says that the story of the
torture of the priest OHannes, at Ghelle-

that the Armenians were discontinued. Con-
