OUTRAGE BY NEGROES.
ian Shot aud Woman HarshIy Treated
Near OIiphant, Pa.

CONNELLSVILLE. Pa, April 20
The Connelsville coke region is all
stirred up again over the dastardly deeds
Of gang of negroes who attacked Hiram
Mcmillan, a white man, and his wife in
1 lonely house near Oliphant, and shot
lhC man twice, probably mOrtally wound
ing him, and brutally assaulted the wom-
an, who also is in q serious condition
Eom the abuse.
McMillan's house sets back from the
highway near the old historic Oliphant
furnace Mcmillan is about 40 years
bid, but his wife is quite young woman
and the two were alone. Suddenly the
negroes, in the party being two black
women, came from hiding and attacked
he house. The men burst in the door,
dragged Mrs. Mcmillan from her hus-
bands arms and carried her out behind
IN outbuiding, where the six men as
saulted her.
Leaving their victim prostrated, the
men gave their attention TO the frantic
husband, who had been engaged in bat
tie with one or more Of the men through
out this terrible ordeal. Mcmillan
broke from his assailants and as he dart
I'd back into his house the negroes, evi-
lently thinking that he was going for
gun or a revolver, drew Il bead on him
aud bullet pierced his body just below
the heart. Mcmillan fell at his door
step, but before fleeing the negroes shot
1t his PROSTATE body, another bullet lodg-
ing in the fallen man near the kidney.
For some time after the negroes had
led the husband lay at his door bleeding
and his wife lay unconscious behind the
Jutbuilding about so feet away. The
woman came to herself first and found
her husband. Mrs. Mcmillan gave the
alarm and Immediately a posse was or
ganized TO hunt down the negroes.
The posse did not lose much time in
getting started over the hills and in
couple Of hours came across Wesley
Lewis, one of the supposed assailants,
who thought he would elude the officers
by hiding in some bushes. He was hand
cuffed and brought under guard to the
Fayette county Jail, where he is now be-
hind the bars. Bessie Wares and Lizzie
Jones. the two colored women impli-
Gated in the rioting, were also locked
up in Uniontown. In the meantime the
word had spread throughout all Of Fay
cite county and a great number of in
furiated whites are now securing the
foothills of the Alleghanies in the hope
Of finding the other five negroes.
Mrs. Mcmillan is at her home and has
suffered severely from shock and brutal
treatment Her friends and relatives
swear vengeance swift and terrible on
the negroes if they can get them from the
officers.

Simpsons Victory Over Drake Uni
versity tho Cause.

v6TUSy tn0 O0OoOs
Indianola, Nov. 2.-Indianola was in q
ferment last night in celebrating Simp-
CONS great foot ball victory over Drake
at Des Moines. When the special train;
arrived from Des Moines last evening,
bearing the victorious team and about
GOO enthusiastic rooters who had attend-
ed the game, pandemonium broke loose.
The college band, the college faculty and
hundreds OF citizens were at the train to
welcome the team. Huge bonfires were
built in the city square, and enthusiastic
college men and business men seemed
determined to keep it going all night.
simpsons team this year is good one,
end. the indications are that the other
iowa college teams will have to bend
the knee to them. The teams record now
stands:
Sept. 2s-East Des Moines high school
o, Si.lpson 81.
Oct. 5-Des Moines College 0. Simp-
son 35.
Oct. 12-University of Missouri o..
Simpson 10.
Oct. 19-Cornell 10. Simpson II.
Oct 26-state Normal 6, Simpson 6.
Nov. drake 8. Simpson 10.
There had been SO much talk Of the
great prowess of the Drake team that
Simpson went to Des Moines Friday
morning hardly hoping to win, but de-
termined to keep the score down and to
score themselves. They went into the
game hardly knowing what to expect.
but it did not take them long to find
that they were masters of the field, and
they won the game in grand style. All
Indianola rejoices over the victory and
ell Indianola is happy today.
