C0LOREO GANG OF
SEVEN LYNCHED
They Had Murdered and
Cremated a Family
of Three.
Run Down by BloodhoundS,
the Monsters Confess
the Crime.
Taken From Jail at Midnight by a
Mob, Hanged, Shot and
Burned.

HOUSTON. TEXAS, April 30.-Seven
negroes were iynched by negro mob at
Sunnyside last night for criminally as
sauting a young woman and 7-year-
old child, then numbering both of them
and an aged man who attempted to pro-
tect them.
Last fall gentleman from Brennan
was robbed of 500. Four of the Thomas
boys confessed the theft, saying they had
given $50 OF the money to an old negro
named Henry Daniels. Daniels spent the
money and last sunday evening the
Thomas boys decided to either collect the
$50 or kill Daniels. They carried out the
latter part of the programme.
Daniels lived in little hut with his
stepdaughter, Marie, and 7-year-old
child at Sunny side. Wednesday night
the house was broken open and Marie
Daniels and her 7-year-old companion
assaulted. OLD Daniels was clubbed to
death while trying to protect them. The
bodies of Daniels and his step-daughter
were thrown into the house and the child 8
body into a well. The house was then
fired and the corpses in 1t cremated. When
the neighbors noticed that Daniels and
his family were missing the charred ruins
of the house were searched and blood
stains and the bodies found.
Bloodhounds went straight to the place
where the Thomas gang resided and these
members were secured: Fayette Rhone,
81 years; VIII Gates, 35; Louis Thomas,
30; Aaron Thomas. 13; Jim Thomas, Ia;
Ben Thomas, Is; Will Williams, 10. All
were smeared with blood and bloody
shirt was found. They confessed the
crime.
All seven were under guard at midnight
last night when the guards were overpow-
cred by mob and the prisoners were
taken toward Brazos Bottom, north of
here. Later about fifty shots were fired
and ali was quiet.
This morning, dangling from the limbs
of large oak tree, were found the bodies
of six negroes. The bodies of Will Gates
and Louis Thomas were burned from the
waist. Williams body has not been
found, but the shots probably explain his
absence Late tonight the bodies were
still hanging. The mob was com posed OF
whites and blacks, with the negroes
largely predominating.

needed when the languid, exhausted feel
