A POSTMASTER MURDERED.


His House Burned Down and His Baby
Kilied-Other Children Wounded.
Lake City, S. c., Feb. 23.-About 1
O'Clock in the morning Postmaster
Baker, negro, and his child were shot
to death and their bodies cremated.
1t is said that a mob numbering sew
eral hundred surrounded Bakers house,
where the postoffice is kept, set fire to
the building and opened fire with guns
upon it. Baker was killed, his two
daughters and one son were seriously
wounded. The woman had baby in
her arms, and she says that the ball
that went through her hand passed
through the baby and killed it. All the
wounded are manned for life.
Baker was appointed postmaster
three months ago. Lake City is a town
of 800 inhabitants, and the negro pop
ulation in the vicinity is large. There
was protest at Bakers appointment,
but 1t was not a very vigorous one.
Some time afterWard he was fired upon
from ambush. Recently Baker moved
his family into house on the out
skirts of the town, where he also es-
tablshed the postoffice. A week ago
IL Douy VI men WIN hepl SOHCtdlcu I've
hind buildings and fences riddeld the
building with shot and rifle bullets.
They shot high, and no one was hurt,
but 1t was supposed they conveyed a
warning. 1t was a short time before
that Senators Tillman and McLauren
and Congressman Horton had asked the
postmaster general to remove Baker,
because Of his color, and the request
had been refused.
As result Of the latest outrage two
of Bakers daughters had their arms
broken close to the shoulder and will
probably lose them. Another Of the
girls is believed to be fatally wounded.
Two OF the seven occupants of the
house escaped with slight injuries. The
bodies of Baker and the infant were
cremated in the building, and all mail
matter was destroyed.
