DEATH FOR THREE NEGROES
Armed Men, with BlOodhOundS, on
Trail Of Five Others.
One, Identified by Mrs. Ogletree, Hanged,
After Confessips that There Were
Eight in the Gang that Com
mitted the Outrage.

Atlanta. Ga. July "a special 20 the
Constitution from cambridge, Ga, says:
A negro captured near Iron City last
night was brought to Saffold. and identi-
fed as one CT the assailants of Mrs. ]. r.
OgIetree last Thursday night. He was
lynched at daylight this morning near
Seffold Two other dead negroes were
found alongside the railroad track two
miles west of cambridge this morning.
The name of none of these negroes is
known. II is believed by some that the
two dead negroes found by the railroad
track were the men arrested yesterday at
Troy, Ala. on suspicion of being impli-
Gated in the Ogletree outrage, and who
were being brought to Saffold for identifi-
cation.
Bainbridge. Ga, July 23.-Since the das-
tardly crime committed at Saffold last
Thursday hunting parties have been out
in search of the guilty negroes. One Of
the negroes appeared at an old darky 5
house near BTinsOn, Ga, and asked to be
narbored. The old man went to Brinson
and informed of his presence. A posse re-
turned with him and captured the negro.
who gave his name as Louis Sammin.
The man was taken to SaffOld. where he
was identified by Mr.. and Mrs. Osletree as
one of their aSSaiants. He said there
were eight negroes in his gang, and that
they came from Augusta. He said two of
the gang were not far away. One pOr-
ton of the mob went in pursuit of those
two, while the other hung Sammin and
riddled hts body. The other two were
oVertaken, shot and scalped, a party
bringing their scalps TO Saffold this even
irg. A hundred armed men with blood
hounds are after the remaining five of
the gang, and If caught they will be
lynched.

with fifty-seyen survivors OF the Edmon-
ton trail. These unfortUnates had been
on the trail nearly two years. They r.
lated tales Of hardship and demonstrated
the non-feasibiIity Of both the land and

sent out relief parties to bring in the
several hundred sick and starving still
struggling along the Lard and Peliy
Rivers. During the past winter IL Is es-
timated that fifty died Of scuTvy AMI as
many more were drowned, while others
returned to Edmonston.
Strong language is used concerning the
Misrepresentation sent out by agents Of
the transportation and trading companies
operating at Gnd about Edmonton. as well
as the Canadian officials. who said the
route was a practicable one. A majority

are American citizens, and the local au-

Baltimore, Nd, July s.-At a picnic
given by the employees Of Steih's piano
factory, Senator Wellington, in a speech
to-day, created a sensation He attacked
the administration expansion policy as
follows.
We have now reached a momentOus
time, one fraught with many critical situ-
ations for the nation. I pray that as a
faithful people We shall not forget the
principles established BY our forefathers-
II we would be successful We must not
stretch out the arm OF expansion. We must
not 20 6,000 miles beyond the westward
course OF our power and possessions TO
bring IN over eleven million MOngolians,
who are lower than any laboring class in
this land. ! hope the administration Will
call a halt.
Il hope the lawmakers Of this nation
viii deal with this crisis bravely and non
estiy. This country must leave foreign
dominion alone. Let the lands and the
peoples. possessed by bloody conquest re-
main to themselves and free, even as We
once fought and prayed for deliyerance
and freedom. / oppose the policy OF ex-
paHsion, because / believe it would be a
great and perhaps iTreparable wrong 10
the American people. Now let US 90 th45'
and We will go onward and upward, pros
pering and powerful.
Il say the American government should
call a halt, and more, beat a retreat II
necessary 10 the honor and welfare Of
the people. When this is done, justice
VIII be done.
we 90 not need ether lands and other
people. We have the great West and the
great South; we do not need more. Let
the people Of the West govern themselves
according TO their wishes. Now, my
friends, when you 20 back to the work
bench and the counting-room, go with a
renewed sense of honest patriotism and
feel that every good American citizen
Will do his duty. Keep this principle ever
in your hearts-the noble pride of pro-
