tackled white girl. Della Krause, In
the Jail kitchen and slashed her face
and arms with knife. One man was
injured by Martin as the mob entered
the jail to drag out the prisoner. After
assaulting Miss Krause with a razor,
Martin was placed in a cell in the
county Jail. Tonight a mob of several
hundred men formed outside the Jail.
The first intimation Sheriff Cook had

men appeared In the kitchen Of the
Jail house and with guns ieyeled at him
told him there were 200 armed men
waiting outside for the negro and he
had better not attempt to make any
trouble for them. In the meantime an
other masked man had entered and
while the first two held the sheriff. a
third man took the keys of the Jail from
the sheriff's pocket and then the three
started for the negro's cell.
On the way they met DIR. Miller. who
had been summoned to dress the
wounds Of Martin, self-inficted with
the same razor with which he had as
saulted the girl and turnkey Johns.
They were ordered to stand aside, with
faces turned away from the mob. The
negro was then taken from his cell and
hurriedly marched through the court
house into the street. Arriving at a
lamp post short distance from the
Jail, the negro was quickly strung up
to post.

NEW YORK PRIMARIES.
Fight on in Greater New York Today Is
of Unusual interest.


New York Aug. 29.-The primaries
throughout greater New York will be
held tomorrow. Special interest CEN
ters in Brooklyn. where the leadership
of State Senator McCarren is in the
balance and the fight promises to be
bitter one from the opening of the
polls. The labor leaders in Brooklyn
today served notice on State Chairman
Cord Meyer that Senator McCarren
would have to resign as chairman of
the state executive committee. Meyer
gave no definite answer. The primary
election this year means more to the
republicans than usual, owing to the
fact that under Governor Odell's plan
to strengthen the organization in New
York county the size of the county
committee has been doubled and ad-
ditional members will be elected tomor-
row.
