MOBBED BY DEMOCRATS

Baptist Church tonight mob of 800 white
Democrats stormed the office of the Berke-
ley Improvement Board, in which were
County Treasurer Lyons. Commissioner Of
Revenue Nichols, Town Recorder Old.
Deputy County Clerk w. H. Lyons
and nearly score of negroes, and
rushed the entire party from the building
to the street. County Treasurer Lyons was
kicked half way down the stairs.
The crowd then assailed the Berkeley
police station and found there County Clerk
A. H Martin. a Republican, seated at a
table with Rev. John Sumler, a negro coun-
Gilman. Martin was attacked. severely
choked and slammed against cell door.
AS he stood there, powerless, denunciatory
speeches were delivered TO him and he was
then escorted to his home by the police.
The mob composed of 300 men, all
white, and nearly all armed, shotguns and
repeating rifles being plentiful, while revol-
vers and clubs were also in evidence. Sew
eral shots were fired In the street, but no
one was hurt.
The riot was caused by bitter political
feeling which has existed between the
straight-out Democratic element In Norfolk
county and the fusion element controlled
by Martin. 1t is charged by the Democrats
that the county officials present In the
office of the Improvement board had assem-
groes surreptitiously and that on the other
hand obstacles are placed In the way Of
white Democrats qualifying to vote.
In the crowd was G. W. Rockefeller, a
first cousin Of the Standard Oil magnate,
and the Rev. Herbert Scholz, a Christian
minister.

SULLIVAN, Ind, Dec. SIT is believed
by people at the mining settlement of
Antioch that Joseph Moroush, the Hun
garian coal miner, who found dead in
the mine at that place Friday. was mur-
dered and the evidence brought at the
coroner's investigation indicates that Mo-
roush had met with foul play. Ii was at
first believed that Moroush was killed by a
shot" but the fact that there was but
one wound OH his body and that a hole in
the back of his head the size of a dollar
disposes of that theory. The body was
found sixty feet from his cap and lamp and
between the two points there was a trail
such as would be made by the heels of a
man being dragged by another.
The settlement at Antioch is composed of
Hungarians and Kentucky miners, between
whom there is deep feud which breaks
out at the slightest preteXt and the Hun
garians fight among themselves. Moroush
had been a ringleader in these affrays and
had made many enemies. He leaves a
widow and two children In Austria but
had no relatives in this country.
