Wednesday morning, was held up by
robbers near Walkers station, Is
miles south of here, at a. M, and
the express car badly damaged, but
the booty of the robbers amounted
to little. Two men boarded the train
at Cottage Grove, climbing on as the
train pulled out. After passing Walk

The train was ordered to stop, af.
ter which the frmean and helper
were ordered to uncouple the train
between the express car and the first
coach. Engineer Nichols was then
ordered to pull ahead, the fireman and
helper being left behind. After 60
ing a short distance the train was
stopped, and the robbers proceeded to
the express car, taking with them the
engineer. The express car was blown

steady fire over the engineers head,

The Robbers DesIsted.
The robbers then gave up their eff

and went for the mail. They secured
the registered mail, then cut the en-

ordered Engineer Nichols to pun
ahead. They ran to Jenkins point, in
the outskirts of Eugene, where they
disembarked, and ordered the en-
gineer to return and get his train.
The train arrived here at 1880, about
four hours late. The news was wrnd
from Saginaw, and officers went out
In search of the robbers, but as yet

Lynchings still continue with the vic
TINS Afro-Americans and the lynchers
whites. When will such things cease?
We do not object to any man, who
commits crime, being punished, but
we want all persons accused of crime
tried in a legal manner, and, if found
guilty after a proper hearing, pun
ished according to law. Suppose Doc
Reed, who was in Jail in indianapolis,
for an alleged assault, had been gotten
hold of by the mob. He would now
be dead. but thanks to the good jail
and the lapse of time, he had an op-
portunity to prove an alibi and his
life was saved. Many poor innocent
black man has been murdered by mobs
that did not care whether their vic
tins were innocent or guilty so long
as they were black. AS we have al
ways contended we still reiterate, the
criminal is worse than the crime if
black, in the, eyes of the mob. Lynch
ing must be stopped.

SATURDAY. MARCH 9, 1901.

Not only do they lynch Afro Ameri-
cans for alleged crimes, of which,
many times, the victims of their
prejudice are innocent, but they do not
allow an Afro-American to express his
views On their actions-if they are in
opposition. Ralph Brown, of Brazil,
Ind, last week took occasion to de-
nounce the lynchers of Ward at Terre
Haute in severe language. A number
Of his white fellow workmen procured
a rope and threatened to lynch him
and he actually had to flee for his life
and seek protection at the police sta
ton. We supposed a man had the right
of free speech guaranteed to him in
this country, but it seems this is not
the. case if his skin is black. Verify
the lot of ble black man is a hard one
in this country which in its bill of
rights declares all men are born equal
and endowed BIZ their Creator with GER
tain inalienable rights, among which
are life, liberty and pursuit Of happi-
ness. This is a great country.

The second Inauguration of Presi-
dent William Mckinley passed off with
much eclat last Monday. The presi-
dent says the Endorsement he received
at the hands of his constituents at the
polls was also an Endorsement of the
men whom he appointed to office, so he
will make few removals except for
cause. He will, therefore, not be very
likely to remove any of the Afro
Americans who are now in Office, and
has already added to his appointments
and will do more along that line when
