COLORED TEACHER IS
MADE VICTIM OF
LYNCHERS
He Shoots and Mortally
Wounds Superintendent of
Schools Who Refused to
Renew His Certificate
Negroes Body Is Kicked to
Pieces and Burned.

BELLEVILLE. Ill, June County
superintendent Charles Hertel was shot
and mOrta1ly wounded in his Office this
evening by w. T. Wyatt, coIored
teacher, who lived in East st. Louis,
whose certificate to teach HerteI had
refused to renew. Wyatt was arrested
and taken TO Jail and afterwards
lynched. Supt. Hertsel was removed to
hospital, where the physicians probed
for the bullet, but they stated there
was no chance for his recovery. HerteI
was aroused sufficiently to tell that
Wyatt had shot him because of his
refusal to renew certificate for teach
ing.
A young man named Fielder was in
the Office when the shooting occurred
He grappled with Wyatt, but the negro
beat him off with the butt of his re-
volver, fnficting severe scalp wound
A passing policeman arrested the ne
gro. He was hurried to the Jail and
the place was surrounded with police
men, as 1t was feared that a mob
might form. ~
Two hours passed, when suddenly a
mob appeared before the Jail and forced
passage to Wyatt's cell. Securing
the prisoner, despite the protests of
the mayor and chief of police, the rab-
bic dragged him out and hanged him
to telephone pole in the public square
nS1i TIE court mouse. BeIOre execution
Wyatt asserted that the shooting was
the result of political grudge. When
Wyatt was pronounced dead the body
was kicked to pieces and burned
Even while his body was jerking in
the throes of death from stranguIation
members Of the mob built fire at the
foot of the pole. When it had begun
to burn briskly, the negro, still half
alive, was cut down, covered with coal
oil and cast into the fire. Means of
pain were heard from the haIf-dead
victim and these served to further in
furiate his torturers. They fell on him
with clubs and knives and cut and beat
his burning body almost to pieces and
not until every sign of life had de-
parted did they desist and permit the
flames to devour the body. After the
body had been reduced to ashes the
mob departed and all became quiet.

MATRIMONY WAS
THEIR ONLY CRIME
Montana City Pays Damages for Arrest
of Wrong Couple.

Special to The Globe.
MISSOULA, Mont, June 6.-Owing
to the fact that they answered the de-
scrfption Of man and his wife wanted
by the police of an eastern Montana
town, Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Donley, on
their honeymoon, were forced to spend
several days in Jail here. The police
had received a telegram to arrest on
the west-bound train Mr. and Mrs. John
Felkner, accused of arson, and IN the
telegram were given a description Of
the wanted couple
The FelAners failed to arrive on the
train it was expected they would come
on, but Mr.. and Mrs. Donley, who had
been married less than zen hours, did
arrive. They answered the description
that had been furnished the local po-
lice and were placed under arrest. AS
they knew no one in the city it be-
came necessary for them to telegraph
to Mandan for the father of the bride
to come and identify them before they
could secure their release.
When the father arrived and found
his daughter in a cell there was a scene,
but all parties finally were pacified and
the young married couple were sent on
their way rejoicing, richer by several
hundred dollars than when arrested, as
the city was anxious to avoid a suit

Russians as Protectors.
Many Russians of both sexes nobly
exerted themselves to protect the.

OF artillery off duty did likewise, but
from no quarter of the city did learn
of any attempt being made by Russian
or Moldavian clergymen to perform a
similar Christian duty. Instances of
incredible baseness on the part Of the
Molday1ans were given me by various
witnesses. These Moldavians Iured the
fug1tives to supposed places Of safe

RIDES WHEEL DOWN
A MOUNTAIN SIDE
Montana Boy Will Have a Good Story
to Tell His Grandchildren.

Special to The Globe.
ANACONDA, Mont, June Cas-
per Weiss, aged fifteen years. has per-
formed a. marvellous feat. Casper is in
the hospital here, but the doctors hone
to save his life.
Young Weiss was on top of the
mountain overlooking this city, and
decided to ride down the f1ume leading
to the flats on which the city is built
Once started, he could not stop his BIZ
cycle, and to throw himself from his
wheel meant instant death. So he
stuck on, even after the bicycle jumped
from the fume and began tearing
down the rough side of the mountain.
Long jumps through the air the
wheel took, but the boy held on. He
reached the fiat in safety, with the
wheel badly disfigured. When he tried
to check his sped he found that the
brake had become broken. In his path
was a stone wall, into which the ma
chine dashed at full speed. The boy
was thrown head foremost against the
wall and was unconscious when picked
up.
The distance from the top Of the
mountain to the stone wall is more
than 1000 feet. yet young Weiss made
the trip In less than a minute and a
half

DULUTH, Mimi, June 6.-MichaeI
]. Mclaughlin, city marshal at Noun
tain Iron, was shot and instantly
killed tonight in a desperate battle with
three highwaymen whom he sought to
arrest He fired several shots at his
assailants, and although it is thought
that one or more of them were hit, they
got away.
An Italian was held up and robbed
Of 500 earlier in the day and he re-
ported the matter to the marshal,
giving a description of the footpads.
The marshal saw the three men in the
railway yards and made dash for
them. One of them drew a revolver
and began firing. The marshal emp
tied four of the chambers of his own
weapon before he fell. Citizens made
hurried search for the murderers with
out success. The weapon with which
Mclaughlin was killed was found close
to the scene of the fighting. Three Of
the chambers were empty. One of
the bullets entered McLaughlin's head
and another struck him in the stomach.
A posse of thirty men started out in
the direction Of Virginia, four miles
distant. and all avenues of escape were
guarded all night. 1t is reported that
a man running on the railroad track
passed Iron Junction at 10 o'clock and
appeared to have come some distance.
A lynching will probably take place if
the men are captured. Mclaughlin
was twenty-eight Of thirty years of age
and had been marshal of Mountain
Iron several years. He was unmar-
ried.

Their experiences are too dreadful

the women to satiate their brutalities

never be known.
