LYNCHING RILES THE BLACKS.
Negro Gathering at Chicago Comments
on Peirce City Affair.

Chicago, Ill, Aug. 22.-Delegates
to the second annual convention of
the National Negro Business league
which is in session in Handel hall,
declare the lynching at Peirce City,
Mo-, an act of madness, an atrocity.
The fact that within a few hundred
miles of Chicago the citizens OF town
had proclaimed that no negro will be
permitted hereafter to live or spend
the night in the village astonished
the delegates.
Booker I. Washington, president
OF the league and leader of the con-
vention, would not talk about the
affair. He said it would be too diff
ficult to express himself, so that he
would not be misunderstood.
1T is disgrace to American civil
ization that such atrocities are COM
mitted, said Edward E. Cooper of
Washington. Look at the partici-
pants as individuals-the black who
committed crime against a white
woman and the white man who com
mitted a crime against innocent
blacks-do they not belong in the
same sentence of condemnation? Let
the law be carried out against offend

After Two Months Search.

two months of unremitting search
the body OF John McCarty, late game
commissioner of Arizona, has at last
been found, only few miles from the
camp at which he was last seen alive,
in the southern Mongollon noun
tains. The body had been torn to
shreds and there was every evidence
to show that the hunter had been
killed by one of the enormous bears
ofthe locality. Near by was his shot
gun with twisted barrels. At vari-
ance with his usual custom. he was
hunting without dogs. He was es-
teemed the most skillful hunter ofthe
Southwest and annually killed more
than one hundred mountain lions
and a score or more of bears. He
expressed a sense OF impending dan
ger just before starting away on his
last expedition. and at that time in
sured his life for $4,000. A few
years ago In the same vicinity two
pedestrians were set upon by bears
while travelling along a well-trodden
road and one OF the men was killed.
