Joplin. Mo-, April IT.--An infuriated
mob took Thomas Geiyard, a tramp
negro, from the city jail at night and
hanged him to q telegraph pole 1t the
corner Of Second and Wall streets. two
blocks from the city jail.
The lynchIng was followed by an on.
slaught on the negro section OF ths
city by q mob. Houses were burned,
and all negroes were ariven out Of the
city.
The negro was charged with having
murdered Policeman Leslie, who was
shot dead the night before In the kan
sas City Southern railway yards while
endeavoring 10 arrest several negroes
suspected Of theft. Leslie ordered the
negroes, who had taken refuge in a
box car, TO surrender, and when they
failed to do so he bred several shots
at the car. During the shooting q
negro slipped from the car and, com
ing up behind the policeman. shot him
through the head.
During the afternoon Lee Fullerton
located the fugitive in a slaughter
house just east Of Joplin. The negro
was armed with a rife and defled ar
rest Fullerton slipped into the struc-
ture unobserved ana crept up behind
.He negro Suddenly he sprang at the
unsuspecting fugitive. and before re-
sistance could be made he had the
negro on his back with a knife at his
throat The negro then surrendered
his rife. and pointing the weapon at
him Fullerton marched him out or Ihe
building.
|. Part Of the crowd that had congre-
gated seized the negro and pulled TO
prevent him being hanged. For some
moments 1t was a veritabIe tug Of war,
but reinforcements on the free end u
the rope proved the stronger and the
negro. despite his protestations Of In
nocenoe. was finally swung into the
air and strangled to death, while
shouts OF satisfaction went up from
the mob.
As soon as the negro was dead the
mob dispersed. and later the body was
cut down and taken In charge by the
coroner. There is sull great excite
ment in Joplin and it is feared that
trouble will follow in case the asso-
ciates Of the negro are apprehended.

Special to The Globe.
LA CROSSE, Wis, Sept. est de-
veloped today that Herman Rossow,
who attempted to murder his wife and
commit suicide in the German Luth-
eran church yesterday, attempted to
secure his child, a boy born by his first
wife, before the shooting, and to take
1t to the church, kill it, his wife and
himself 1t is shown that the deed was
premeditated and that the triple trag-
edy had been planned for several days.
The parents of Rossow, with whom the
child lived, refused to allow him to re-
move 1T from the house.
Tonight Mrs. Rossow's condition is
improved and the probability for her
recovery is strong. Rossows left lung
is penetrated and he Is gasping for
breath at the hospital. He is not ex-
pected to live until morning.
An attempt was made tonight to
gather mob to take Rossow from the
hospital, as near dead as he was, and
lynch him. The plan was overturned,
however, before it materialized. Friends
of the wife were the instigators.
