An INDIANA TOWN IS
TERRORIzED BY NEGROES
Serious Race Trouble at Cement

cradle Shooting Has Been Done,
Though Without Serious
Effect as Vet.

Jeffe,sonville Ind, Dec. 27.-A race
war is on at Cementville, small sta
ton on the Pan Handle road five miles
north of this city, and serious trouble
is expected at any minute.
The negroes are all armed and the
whites are keeping within doors to
avoid them.
The outbreak began yesterday after
noon, vixen Lee Ranger and John Red
mond, negroes both Very drunk, start
cd in TO intin1idate tie whites. When
their insults were resented, other ne
groes jumped in with the liquor-crazed
Men and captured Sam Kendall's sa-
loon. Nearly twenty shots were fred.
but no one was hurt
An appeal by telephone was made to
Sheriff Rave for he p and he drove out
to Cenentville in a buggy and to some
extent quieted the negroes whl.e ne
WAS present.
After his departure another out
break took place. and message after
message came to the local police to
send men to thu town. Sheriff Rave
IVES again asked to go to the scene,
but he declined to go last night.
Kendall, in addition to his saloon,
conducts dry goods store, which was
being attended by his wife, and into
this the negroes tlocked after the fir
ing at the saloon.
Mrs. Kendall was badly frightened,
and her husband ran into the place

hanger was shot. but how badly is not
known, as he was carried away and
sec.eted by his companions Kendall's
life was threatened, and about mid
night he managed to escape from his
store and came direct to this city,
awakening Prosecutor Montgomery.
and begging him to issue warrants
and have deputy sheriffs sworn in to
serve them.
1t Was almost daylight when the
community became quiet, the negroes
having everything their own way. So
far no outbreak has taken place. be-
cause the whites are intimidated to
such an extent that they are using ev-
cry possible precaution to prevent
collision with the blacks. 1t is be-
lieved that the slightest quarrel Will
bring about a bloody riot.
There is no direct telephone connec-
ton With the place, but a private line
owned by the railroad is being used to
keep the officers posted. If trouble be-
gins this will be cut out by the rioters.
