HARTFORD CITY, Ind, Aug. 4.-Not-
withstanding armed men stood guard all
last night surrounding the Whitman woods
in which the negroes, who mutilated George
Hershey, a 19-year-old farmer boy, not the
slightest trace of them could be found
While a few entertained the possibility of
the young man injuring himself, the
straightforward story he tells cannot be
disputed. There is no motive in either case
The search was practically ended this
morning and no further effort will be made
by posse to apprehend them. To-day the
farmers in that vicinity and the citizens
here raised a $500 fund to be given as a re-
ward for the capture of the negroes. The
attending physician has stated that from
the nature of the wounds it would have
been impossible for the young man to in
f1ict them on himself. His condition to-
day is much worse than yesterday and 1t is
now said by the physician that he will be
perma nently injured.
1t is probable the leaders of the mob
that gathered at the jail last night and
demanded that committee be sent
through it to see if the prisoners were
really there will be prosecuted. The ex-
element has entirely subsidized and the
officers are almost unit in saying that if
the negroes were captured they would not
be brought to this city.
