TWO NEGROES LYNCHED
BY People of Their Own Color Near OcaIa,
Florida--A Posse Saved Others from the
Same Fate.

OCALA, Fla, June 1.-TWO negroes
were lynched at Dunnelton last night by
a mob of their color. Some weeks ago
Marshal Payne was shot by a negro. Sat-
urday the negro was captured and re-
turned to DunneHon, when it is supposed
some negroes were employed to take him
down the river and drown him. Sunday
evening the laborers of the Dunnelton
phosphate mine heard of it, and at once
organized to mete out similar justice to
those implicated. They succeeded in
lynching two of the men and We're only
prevented from lynching others by the
appearance of Sheriff Nugent and an arm
ed posse, who went down on a special
train from Ocala. The posse returned
this morning and reported everything
quiet.

Geraldine Allyn had not lost faith in

And one reason why the she" refer

that the sisters Nevins and Allyn had
booked" their passage nearly two
weeks before it being useless to remain
longer on the Pacific coast in hopes of
finding the fugitive husband, for the
