Heard by Sheriff and Lynching
Stopped

PARKERSBURG, w, Va, Nov. 3O.-Late
tonight a circular was circulated on the
streets, reading:
ARMED and masked men wanted at IL
o'clock tonight at south end of the bridge"
Before IL o'clock 400 men had collected
there, mostly masked. At midnight they
marched across to the Jail, where over 1000
had collected. Sheriff Wade had a guard
armed with Winchesters. He told the crowd
to disperse or he would do his sworn duty
1t is supposed they wanted to lynch two
negroes, Wade Grant and George Malat,
both accused of assaulting women. A few
shots were fired, but no one was hurt. The
mob dispersed at l: 80 from the effect of the
coolness of Sheriff Wade.
