Troops Suppress
Mob at Danville
Four Companies Are Sent There
from Springfield

Danville, ILL.,: Four hundred SOL
diers with bayonets fixed kept peace
in Danville Sunday night. Two thou
sand people walked the streets behind
the picket lines, visiting the scenes Of
the mob tragedy of Saturday night
From ranks of excited citizens sounded
the jeers at the troops and cries of
eviction for the negroes of Danville
and threats of vengeance on Sheriff
Hardy Whitlock, who, with his hand
full of deputies, withheld the lynchers
from wreaking fury on FIVE other
black prisoners in the county Jail.
The common fear is that Danville is
on the verge of a race war of disas-
trous proportions, unless immediate
measures for quelling the intense feel
ing are taken.
Two killed and % wounded, the po-
lice station wrecked, the county Jail
with few of its windows left unshat-
tered, the city in the hands Of state
troops and feeling of uneasiness and
dread prevailing everywhere, is the
situation left by the race riots of Sat
urday night and early Sunday morn
ing

follows:
Inspecting the battlefield we found

ed on both sides.
"Our side has to lament the death
of General Henrique Urdanetta.
ION the side of the enemy General
Aurelio Valbueno was killed and many
other officers captured, including %
Generals, 81 Colonels and many Off
GERS of low rank. All the latter have
