MOB AT CENTRALIA
Drives Negro From His Home And
Destroys the Building.

Word was received at the Mar
shal's Office this morning of the
work of mob at Centralia Sunday
night, which destroyed the house
occupied by negro named Whit
mire, and drove the occupants out
of the neighborhood.
The members of the mob were
mounted and announced their ar
rival by firing voIley through
the house.
The members Of the negro's
family who had retired were ar
reused by the shots and crouched
in terror on the floors to escape
the deadly missiles that were rip
ping through the thin boards OF
the house.
The mob, after shooting the
house full of holes, dismounted
and completed their work with
axes. The terrified occupants
were driven out into the night and
the strncture speedily razed.
No reason is assigned for the
work Of the mob, except their OBJ
lection to having negro residents
in the neighborhood. No arrests
have as yet been made.
