REIGN OF TERROR IN
BLOODY TANGIPA HOA
Jail Broken Open and Four
Negroes Hanged.
CHARGED WITH BURGLARY

Men Were Suspected of Having En-
tered the House of Henry Hotfelter.
His Wife Becomes Insane From
Fright-Negroes Flee the Town.
New ORLEANS, Sept. 21.-A reign of
terror broke out in Bloody Tangipahoa
parish again last night when four ne
groes were hanged after the Jail in the
village of Pontchatoula had been broken
open and the prisoners suspected of rob-
bling the family of Henry Hotfelter had
been taken from their cells. Mrs. Louise
Hotfelter, his wife, was choked and
frightened by the black ruffians so I'M
mercifully that she lost her mind
There were IA of the negro suspects in
the Pontchatoula jail Last night a
committee of white citizens called on
the sheriff Of the parish to give up the
keys, but this he refused to do. Axes
were brought and the Jail Immediately
broken open.
-Four of the suspects were hanged to q
tree about two blocks away after being
made to confess. They were Isaiah
Rollins, aged IS; Nathaniel Bowman,
aged AZ; Charles Elliott, aged 20, and
George Bickham, aged 90. Their bodies
were allowed to hang all night until this
morning when they were cut down and
turned over to the coroner. The jury
which was empaneled by him returned
the verdict, changed by unknown
hands,"
Mayor William jackson is doing all
he can to restore order today, but is
making slow progress as committees of
citizens are securing the parish, arrest
ing all the negroes they can get their
hands on. These are being crowded
into the little Jail at Pontchatoula and
a wholesale hanging is feared.
The better element of the negro popu-
lation is fleeing to the churches where
the time is being snent in .nraYing.

Kohinoor and Turkey Run collieries, be-
longing to the Philadelphia and Read

Run, the property of the Thomas Goal

shut down tight today.
The men at the Kohinoor and Kelley
Run collieries were driven from their
work by crowd Of striking Lithunians
and Poles armed with clubs and stones.
They smashed windows and other mine
property. 1t was with difficulty that
superintendent Baird and a posse of
men prevented numbers of the strikers
from entering the slope at Kelley Run.
After the workmen quit the strikers
retired A trolley car was held up and
all men were roughly handled. Some
of them were thrown out Of the door.
The strikers policed every path to the
colliery and, by threats, inundated
workmen and thus induced them to re-
turn to their homes. Much excitement
exists.
Daniel Christian, chief of the coal and
iron police, says his force is unequal to
the task Of guarding the collieries and
that Sheriff Toole of Schuyllzill county
has been appealed to for assistance.
