Lynching Bee

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. I'D. Thomas,
negro crab fisherman, was wounded and
narrowly escaped lynching at the hands OF
900 Tennessee soldiers this morning. Two
men of Troop B of the regular cavalry,
which attempted to quell the riot, were
dragged from their horses by the mob OF
volunteers and slightly injured in the tus-
sic. The negroes house, block and half
from the Preside, was almost wrecked.
officers of the Tennessee regiment finally
sent the men back to quarters and took the
bleeding negro to the guard house for pro-
lection.
The trouble began In a saloon. Will Davis
a private Of Company L.. First Tennessee
Regiment, had left camp after breakfast
and at 1880 o'clock was drinking In a sa-
loon. Five or six other soldiers from differ
ent regiments and the negro, Dan Thomas
were in the place.
According to the story told by Davis the
negro approached him and asked him for a
drink. Davis replied that he had no money
whereupon the negro struck Davis in the
right eye with set Of brass knuckles. The
two closed in a struggle until they were
separated by an Iowa private who was In
the saloon.
When the negro found himself free he lief.
the saloon and went to his home. Thither
he was followed by the soldiers, who
wrecked the house in an endeavor to get at
the colored man. A suggestion was made
to lynch him, and but for the
prompt arrival of Major Cheathman the
negro would doubtless have been killed
Major Cheathman covered the leaders with
his pistol and said he would kin the first
man who injured the negro This prompt
action saved the colored man from imme-
date violence, but on the way to the guard
house at the Preside the negro was attack

terrible blow over the head with a blud-
geon. The soldiers were quisted with much
difficulty. General Miller Is investigating

MUSTER OUT POSTPONED.
Day for the 10th Regiment Now Set
for Nov. 23.

The date for the muster-out of the One
Enthusiastically ninth Regiment was yes
terday postponed until Nov. 30. This is due
to the fact that Major w. f. Tucker who
arrived from Chicago yesterday to pay the
regiment does not believe that it is pos
sible to have the papers examined by the
date first set The papers of the captains
will be turned over at the time set. Thurs

keep the wagon there under expense. He
was given permission to unload, and for the
rest of the day did good business, selling
palms at cut rates BY nightfan he had
disposed of all his stock except three and
two OF these he sold to the wife OF the
householder on whose premises he had oper-
ated. the other one going TO a neighbor.
Fifty cents each was all he asked for the
plants, which were easily worth s. each.
All the purchasers at cut rates were con-
graduating themselves on their acquisitions.
and nothing more occurred until the follow
ing day. when the wagon of Frank Saak
st. Joseph-street florist. backed UP at the
door of the house, and the driver said he
had come for the palms which had been
rented for tho reception" Il is needless TO
say that there had been no reception, and II
then dawned on the minds of the people OF
the house that the vendor Of the palms had
secured his plumber by telling the florist
that he had been sent 70 secure them for
reception to be held at the house that night
They had been loaded into the wagon and
delivered at the house by an employe OF the
florist, and the "hired man" who ordered
them probably realized so from his days
work. The next man who offers to sell
palms in the north end wiz be colby re-
eeived.

THE SENATORIAL RACE
MAI. STEELE AND FRANK d. POsEY
HAVE COME TO TOWN.
How the Situation Is Sized Up by
Friends of These TwO-Mr.
Hunt Here.

Union b. Hunt of Winchester secretary
of state elect, is at the Denison Hotel. His
arrival here yesterday revived public COM
ment as to who his appointees would be.
There are over one hundred applicants for
his chief deputy and the other places at his
disposal. Mr.. Hunt said last midnight that
he had not decided upon any appointments
whatever. 1t will most likely be a month
before Mr.. Hunt announces any of the
names of the persons who are to assist him
in the duties of his office The only thing
that can be predicted with any degree of
certainty is that George w. Gonser will be
retained under Mr.. Hunt in some capacity.
Mr.. Hunt would neither deny nor affirm a
well-grounded report that DR.. Milton T.
Jay, of Portland, was to be his chief dep
uty.
Major George w. Steele, of Marion, and
Frank b. Posey, of Evansville. are among
the politicians who were a, the Denison
Hotel last night. Both are regarded as candi-
dates for the United States Senate to succeed
David Turpie, although Major Steele has
not formally announced his candidacy. Mr..
Posey seemed confident last night that he
would go into the Republican caucus with
more votes than any of his competitors.
Major Steele said that he had not yet fully
decided whether or not he would be a can
didate. His friends, however, seem to be
proceeding upon the theory that he is lin
it, and are eXertfng every influence in his
behalf The contest between Major Steele
and Mr. Posey is of the most friendly char
acter and a reporter last night observed
that they were in close consultation with
Lieutenant Governor Haggard for long
serted last night that the sena-
torial contest had narrowed down to
a point where it lay between them and
Albert ]. Beveridge, Of this city. Their idea
was that Beveridge had no show owing TO
the fact that Senator Fairbanks is a resi-
dent of Indianapolis They asserted that on
this account Mr.. Beverages chances were
slim, as the State at large would oppose
having two senator's from the same coun-
ty All admitted, however, that Mr.. Bey-
erdge has q very strong following, and is
extremely popular outside of Marion coun-
ty. While asserting that the contest is
within this narrow range, friends OF Posey
and Steele have not lost sight Of the fact
that Robert S. Taylor and j. Frank Hanly
have very strong following, not to mem
ton others who are spoken of In this con-
nection. A number of politicians who have
no particular preference look upon the sltu-
alton as a free-for-all
