PIERCE CRY KOB
Homes Of Negroes Burned ard One
Man Cremated- But Few Blacks
Remain in the City.

PIERCE CRY, Mo-, Aug. M.-Quiel
has succeeded excitement ami the ter
rible scenes OF the last three days, and
IL is believed there viii be no further
bloodshed. However, II negroes sus'
peeted of the murder Of Miss Wilde
and now under arrest Ia different
cities were brought here tonight,
there is not the slightest doubt that
their lives would pay the forfeit Il
their connection with the crime could
be established.
For nearly fifteen houB, ending Al
noon to-day, this town OF 5000 people
has been in the hands Of a mob Of
armed whites, determined to drive
every negro fom its precincts.
In addition 10 the lynching last
night OF VIII Cooley, accused Of the
wanton murder OF Miss Gazelle Wilde
and the shooting to death OF his
grandfather, French Cooley, the moi
to-day cremated Pete Hampton, a
negro in his home, set the torch tc
the houses OF five blacks, and Wit
the aid OF the State militia rifles,
stolen from the local company's arse
nal, drove dozens O. negroes from the
town. After noon the excitement died
down, the mob gradually dispensing,
more from lack Of negroes upon which
to wreak their hatred than from any
other cause.
MANY NEGROES IN HIDING.
Many OF the negroes who fed from
the city are hiding in the surrounding
woods, while others have gone greater
distances in seeking safety. Every
negro has left the town, except a few
railway porters, known to be respecta-
BILE, but who must also leave.
The citizens of Pierce City say that,
as negroes have committed several
such crimes in the last ten years,
none shall live here in the future, the
same feeling already existing at Mon
nett, four miles east of Pierce City,
and the end Of Frisco division. 1t
may be necessary to change all porters
in Springfield hereafter.

should have at least a 100000 surplus
