"Southern Outrage"
Not OF The South.
Illinois Farmers Lynch; Then Be-
came Maddened Mob-Large
Negro Colony Wiped
Out.

Thebes, Ill.,, April 26. An un-
known negro, aged about II
years, was lynched by the mob of
angry farmers near the village of
Santa Fe this afternoon, for at
tempting to assault the 1O-year
OLD daughter of Farmer Branson
Davis, and this was followed by a
general onslaught upon a colony
of negroes living in tents who
were engaged in bridge construc-
tion work. The tents were burn
ed and many negroes were shot,
but SO far as known none were
killed. Hundreds of shots were
exchanged. but no whites were
hurt.
Branson Davis lives one-half
mile east of Santa Fe, a small
village near hear. While his TO-
year-old daughter was in the barn
yard today the negro accosted
her. She ran, but he seized her
and her screams brought her
mother to the rescue. The negro
fled. Officers were notified and
were soon in pursuit. News of
the assault speedily spread among
the neighboring farmers and re.
suited in an angry mob starting
in search of the assailant. The
negro meanwhile had been cap
tured by officers and was .being
brought to Santa Fe, when a mob
OF farmers was met. A fight fol-
lowed during which the farmers
secured the negro. He confessed
to the crime, but begged for mer-
cy. Without a word the mob
started with the prisoner toward
the new bridge being constructed
across the Mississippi, where he
was hanged to an oak tree with
out ceremony or delay. After the
body had dangled in the air few
moments it was riddled with bull
lets.

Alden, Arabia, April 25. Brig.
Gen. Manning after an engage.
ment with the Mad Mullah' S
forces has relieved Col. Cobbe,
near Gulnburru, Somallland, As
miles westward of GaIadi. About
1900 of the MulIah's men were
killed. The British loss is not
known.
The few details obtainable of
the disaster to Col. Plunkett's 3 de-
tachment April II show the Null
lah's forces consisted of 1000
horsemen and 10000 spearmen.
They surrounded Col. Plunket' s
force in the open and the Somalis
after a heavy fire, charged re
peatedly, with their horsemen and
spearmen, on all sides. The Brit
ish detachment held out until its
ammunition was exhausted and
tn en- charged with the bayonet but
it wes ultimately overwhelmed by
weight of numbers. The British
force fought until all its officers
ani ITO men'were killed. Most
of the handful of men who reach
ed the camp were wounded. The
Somalis' losses are reported to
have been enormous.
The Mullah's forces are re-
ported to aggregate from 5000
to 1000 mounted men and about
1000 spearmen.

The Greedy Bottle.

"A poor, underslzed hoy, named
lin, sitting by u bottle, and look
ing in, said: 81 wonder if there
can be pair of shoes In it,"
His mother had mendei his clothes
but said his shoes were 80 bad he
must 90 barefooted.
Then he took a brick and broke
the bottle, but there were no shoes
in it, and he was frightened, for
it was his father's bottle. Tim
sat down again and sobbed 50 loud
that he did not hear step behind
HIM until a voice said:
."Well ! what's all thi-?"
He sprang up in great alarm; 1t
was his father. &,
"Wko broke my bottled" he
said.
81 did said Tim, catching his
breath, half in terror and half be-
tween his sobs.
"Why did youl" Tim looked
up.
The voice did not sound as he
had expected. The truth was, his
father had been touched at the
sight of the forlorn figure, ST. very
small and so sorrowful; which had
been over the broken bottle.
"Why," he said, "I was look
ing for pair Of new shoes; |
want a pair of new shoes awful
bad--all the other chaps wear
| shoes.'
GLOW cane you to think you'd
find shoes in the bottle?" the faith
er asked.
"Why, mother said so. | asked
her for some new shoes, and she
said they had gone into the black
bottle, and that lots of other
things had gone into it too coats,
and hats, and bread, and meat, and
things; and l thought if | broke

"No, | guess you won't he said,
laying hand on the rough little
head as he west away, leaving Tim
overcome with astonishment that
his father had not been angry with
him.
Two days after he handed Tim a
parcel, telling him to openit.
"New shoes: new shoes!' he
shouted. GO father, did you get

ORDER ISSUED TOMORROW

Monday morning Chief OF Police Burt
will issue an order requiring all hackmen
and cabmen in making trains TO remain
at the side of their conveyances and hail
passengers from that position and place.
instead OF lining up on the depot plat
forms and interfering with the passage
Of people to and from the depots.
Considerable complaint has been made
at police headquarters lately by people
annoyed By hackmen lining up on the
platforms and almost forcibiy taking
their grips from them in the endeayor TO
get passengers. 1t IS thought that these
reports have been greatly exaggerated
and that the conditions are not as bad )
stated, but in order 70 do away with all
interference with travelling people the
police decided that some action must be
taken. A line was established at ali OF
the depots in the city some time ago and
the hackmen were instructed to remain
on the side farthest from the trains, and
this was effective for a time In a short
time, however, the hackmen began creep
ing closer to the train and finally they
had gone back to the old practice. A
short time ago Chief Burt asked the rail-
road companies to get together and es-
tablish a line where the hackmen should
gather and hail passengers. He received
word from several Of the companies yes
terday stating that he should deem il his
duty to keep them entirely off OF the rail-
road property, that is, off Of the plat
forms. AT the Santa Fe they will be al
lowed to back their conveyances up TO
the block surrounding the platform on
the north side as usual, but must remain
at the side of the hacks to do the hailing.
They will also be allowed TO draw their
hacks up TO the rear of the depot to take
passengers. At the Missouri Pacific de-
pot they must take their stand on Doug
las avenue south of the depot or west
and in the rear of il. At the Rock Island
they will have TO remain in the street or
in the alley west Of the depot, and at the
Frisco there is no place for the hackmen
with the exception OF Douglas avenue
Chief Burt stated yesterday that no hack
man would be allowed TO stand in front.
