Directions Their Houses Burned
and Riddled With Bullets.
Pierce City, Mo.-For nearly fifteen
hours this town of 5000 people has
been in the hands of mob Of armed
whites, determined to drive every
negro from it's precincts. In addition
to the lynching of William Cooley, ac-
cused of the wanton murder of Miss
Gazelle Wild and the shooting to
death of his grandfather, French God
lev, the mob cremated Peter Hamp-
ton, an aged negro, in his home, set
the torch to the houses of five blacks,
and with the aid of State militia rifles,
stolen from the local company's ar
senal. drove dozens of negroes from
town.
Reckless firing broke several plate
glass windows and train was fired
into. None of the passengers was
hurt. The local hardware stores sold
out their arms early. The mob was
composed of a thousand or more. and
no masks were worn. Thirty negro
families were driven from their
houses.
After noon the excitement died
down, the mob gradually dispensing,
more from lack of negroes upon whom
to wreak their hatred than for any
other cause Every negro has left the
town except few railway porters
known to be respectable, but these
must also leave.
1t is now believed that the man,
William Cooley, lynched, was not the
real culprit. A negro named Stark.

the border from here, tailed exactly
with the description Of the assailant.
He was held there awaiting Identified

Eugene Barrett. also known as Car
ter, in confession while a rope was
around his neck, accused Joe Lark. a
Frisco railroad porter, Of being i'm
plcated in the crime, and Lark was
arrested at Springfield. Later Lark
gave n detailed statement as to his
whereabouts Sunday, and he is not be-
lieved to be guilty.
Oklahoma City, Okla. Ter.-William
Favers. the negro porter who is under
arrest here, accused of the murder Of

that he was in Pierce City on Sunday,
but says he can prove his innocence
by five men. He says he was at the
station from 1910, the time when the
bob" train returned from Monnett,
until after the finding of the girls
