MORE NEGROES LYNCnED
ARKANSAS MODS CONTINUE
THEIR DEADLY WORK.
Four More Are Killed Making Thir-
teen in All-Trouble Prob
ably Ended.

Dewitt, Ark. March 28.-Four more
negroes have been put to death IN the
eastern part of this county, making IL
negroes who have been killed as the re-
suit of the rioting which began last
Monday. Kellis johnson, one of the
band of negroes that caused the trou-
BILE, was shot to death Saturday. Perry
Carter, another negro, was found dead
in the woods near where the five negroes
were slain Thursday night by crowd OF
Infatuated citizens.
The last two negroes killed were the
Griffin brothers, Henry and Walker, who
were the cause of the trouble. The ne
groes were reported to have escaped, but
it is known that they are dead and it is
believed they were killed Saturday.
Owing to the remoteness of st. Charles
and to the fact that the news of the re-
suit of the riot is not given out freely
it is difficult to obtain details, but there
is no doubt of the authenticity OF the
report with reference to the death OF the
Griffins.
In the st. Charles neighborhood the
negroes largely outnumber the whites
and trouble has been brewing for long
time and it is said the negroes for the
past two years have been getting in
solent and bellieerent. 1t is now be-

Disagreement Threatened.

Disagreement Threatened.
For time there threatened to be q.
disagreement in the jury. The jury
was brought before Judge Adams, who
asked the cause for the long delay. He
was told that II jurors had agreed,
but the twelfth stood alone. The
court admonished the lone juror that
the expense of new trial should not
be incurred because of him failing to
agree with the majority of the jurors.
A precedent was quoted showing that
the majority of the jurors should de-
eide the case before them, and ver-
dict rendered accordingly. The jury
was then told to go back and poll its
vote once more Soon after the jury
reported, bringing in a verdict, but
Judge Adams found that the third
count in the Indictment had not been
considered, and again he sent the jury
back to consider the case, without hay
ing announced the verdict returned.
The third time the jury entered the
courtroom the result of its DELHI
erations was announced, and United
States Senator Burton stood convicted
on the charges brought against him
in the indictment.
Penalty for the OHense.
There was no perceptible change in
Senator Burton's counte1ance when
the verdict was read. He appeared
completely composed. If the verdict
is sustained, Senator Burton will lose
his seat in the senate and forever be
prohibited from holding any Office OF
public trust. Each count constitutes
q separate offense, and Senator Bur-
ton could receive a penitentiary SEN
tence of two years or 10000 fine, on
each count. Senator Burton's con-
viction is the first under this section
of the statute, which was enacted by
congress in 1864.
Senator Burton was indicted in Jan.
nary last. Although as a member OF
congress he could not be arrested I'M
til after that body adjourned, he vol.
UNFAIRLY surrendered himself to the
prosecuting authorities. He still had
two years to serve in the senate.

pleasure that the Chambe of Com
merce has under consideration the plan
of getting permanent home for itself
and all that it represents. 1 mean by
this that they are working out plan
by which. in the near future Grand
Junction shall have a proper place
for exhibiting the many products of
the earth and of our daily toll.
1t has always been lamentable fact
to me. to think that when we want to
show a stranger samples of our fruit
we cannot do so unless he happens to
be here inst at the fruit season. This
applies equally to our horticulture and
agricultural products.
With your permission 1 would like
to invite other citizens of the Grand
Valley to express themselves through
the press. for l feel sure that the
mon back OF the plan will welcome
any ideas on the subject, and feel
equally sure that full discussion
will bring out plenty of good ideas.
