sion was the proposed union with the or

A Mob of Their Own Race Wreaks
Vengeance on. Them.
For the murder of an old man, q child
and a woman, felonious assaults on the
child and woman and the burning Of the
hcme of their victims, six young colored
men were lynched Thursday night by d mol,
of their own race at. Sunnyside, Walter
county, Texas. ~ a..
The first of the crimes was committed
last fall, when a man was robbed OF $65.
Suspicion pointed to the four Thomas boys
and they confessed the theft, saying they
had given $50 of the money to Henry DAN
evening last the Thomas boys, according
to their confession, decided either to col
lect the $50 OR kill him. They carried out
the latter part of the prosram.
Daniels, an aged colored- man, lived In a
little hut with his stepdaughter, Marie, and
Seveu-year-old child. Wednesday night
the house was broken open. Marie Daniels
and the seven-year-old child feloniously
assaulted and Daniels was dubbed to death
while trying to protect those in his charge.
Then Daniels body and his stepdaughter
were thrown into the house, and the child
was thrown into q we'll.
The house was set on fire and the men
left, thinking that they had covered up the
deed. But the charred location of the
house was searched and the terrible truth
was discovered. The local officers went to
cured. and they were Tot long in finding
the right track. Before night they went
straight to the place where the Thomase
lived, and. one by one, the men were cap
tured-Fayette Rhone, twenty-one years
old; VIM. Gates. thirty-five years old; Louis
Thomas, twenty years old: Aaron Thomas,
thirteen years old; James Thomas, thirteen
years old, and BENJAMIN Thomas, fifteen
years old Later William Williams was
caught. When taken they were smeared
with blood and blocdylshirt was found
hidden in the house.
All of the prisoners were tunder guard
Thursday night about 12 o clock, when the
guards were overpowered by strong body
OF men and the miscreants were taken to-
ward the Brazos valleyy1A little later forty
or fifty shots were fired and all was quiet.
:. Yesterday morning, dangling from the
limbs of a large tree, were found the bodies
OF the six men. All of the bodies were there
except Williams, and he is not to be found
others. a a., II
At Late hour the bodies were still
hanging from the tree. Asnfar as can be
learnef the mob was GomRosed of white
and black men, with the colored element
largely predominating. - . ~. 80,

ry Romeyn is on trial at Fort Mcpherson,
near Atlanta, on the charge of knocking
down Lieut.. Michael ]. OBrien on the
parade ground. have received orders from
the War Department to the effect that up
on the conclusion of the present trial they
are to remain in Atlanta awaiting further
instructions. - 'e's
This order is regarded as significant from
the fact that Capt. Romeyn has preferred
counter charges against Lieut.. O'Brfen.
President Guenther of the court-martial is
as yet ignorant of what the further duties
of the court will be, but 1t is generally be-
heved that the members will remain there
to try Lieut.. O'Bren.
The trial Of Capt. Romeyn progresses
slowly Yesterday Lieuts. Liggett, Wahl,
Peavey, Mitchell, Hackney and Sigerfoos,
Capt. Randall and Mai. Charles Porter
testified that they knew of no social ostra-
cism or other disfavor having been shown
to Lieut.. and Mrs. O'Brien prior to the
time when the charges were preferred
against Capt. Romeyn. -.
The captain took the stand and testified
that an order was issued by the War De-
partment mitigating the sentence of the
court-martfal at his former trial at Fort
Riley, where he was charged with having
lost large amount of government forage.

of Brooklyn mothers, with a popular

One day last week she walked into a
large and well-known furniture store
where there is an enormous stock of
stuff, and began nosing around among
the chairs.
What is it that you wish, madam ?"
inquired one of the ever-present and
over pleasant clerks for which the
place is famous.

tired feeling tone of voice which one

| chivalrous clerk, whirling the chair
around for her with such a burst of po-
liteness that he quite forgot his busi-
ness.
Il mean want to buy one" she ex-
planned.
"Oh, beg your pardon" he blushed
May I ask what kind, madam"
THE kind you haven't got in the
whole store, I'll bet a cookie"
But we can get it, madam, if We do
not have it in stock
You can't either, I'm almost sure.
New designs are constantly on the
market, madam, and surely we can
supply any demand made upon u.s.
You think so, do your" she asked as
if she had not been to 147 furniture
stores that morning only to be disap-
pointed at each place. ''Well, sir, have
you got chair that has got an alarm
clock in the back of it that will set off
a spring in the seat that will throw a
