ARMED MOB AT MUNCIE

dered to Leave Their Homes
Before Friday Night.
ASSAULT ON A WOMAN

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

Special 10 the Indianapolis Journal
MUNCIE. Ind, Jan. ia reign of terror
was inaugurated among the colored resi-
dents of Normal City, the west suburb of
Muncie. when forty masked men carrying
guns and revolvers tonight appeared at
the homes of the seven negro families in
the suburb and warned them TO move out
by next Friday night or suffer the conse-
qucnces. The masked men styled them
selves as vigilance committee" and would
permit no protests from the frightened
negroes, who were threatened with being
shot on the SPOT.
The present trouble arises from an as
sault made on Mrs. Emmett Hogan, wife
of well-known white resident of the su-
burb, last Thursday night by William
Hardin, negro who had lately come into
the suburb from Greensburg, Ky. Mrs.
Hogan was alone, but her screams fright
ened him away. When her husband re-
turned he secured his shotgun. organized
small posse and found the negro. He was
marched back TO the Hogan home where
Mrs. Hogan identified him Hardin was
then made TO walk to the police station.
the husband following with his gun, ac-
companied by large crowd. Hardin con-
fessed and got of with thirty-days' Jail
sentence, imposed by Mayor Sheriff. and
a fine OF So. The light sentence angered the
fifty residents of the suburb and they have
jury investigate the case in order that the
negro may be brought before the Circuit
Court and given a heavier sentence.
The crisis was reached tonight when the
vigilance committee was quietly formed
and proceeded TO order all the negroes from
the suburb The first negro visited was
William Jordan. who has always borne a
good reputation. and owns his own home.
Jordan, terrified. hastily came across White
river and Informed the police OF the visit
of the masked and armed men. The police
made a search of the suburb but could find
no clue to any OF the vigilance committee.
Residents OF the suburb professed ig-
noEance of the incident.
The report spread rapidly among the
LOCO negroes living in the eastern part OF
the city. and the police were told that any
effort to drive the colored families out OF
Normal City on Friday night would meet
with resistance.

Capt. s. P. vestal. Of the Seventh

that the troop should be located 10

the two troops 80 close together
would be mutually helpful 70 each
other and that II would be much bet
ter TO equip cavalry troop In the
town than to maintain an infantry
company.
The cost OF equipping the companies
would fall on the National govern

HARRISON DECIDES
TO GIVE It Up
President Donnelly Of the
Butchers Didn't Care 70
Attend the Mayors
Meeting.

CHICAGO, Despite the mayors IN
tervention the prospects for peace in
the packing house strike were far
from reassuring today. The packers
at meeting held last night in Swift's
offices appointed . committee to rep
resent them at q conference with the
mayor but today an official Of one of
the big companies poured cold water
on the enterprise by declaring there
was nothing on earth the mayor
could do" to bring about a settle
ment. The packers attitude was that
while nothing could come Of such a
meeting they would not refuse to 60
to the city hall. On the other hand
the strike leaders were equally antag-
onistic. President Donnelly said he
could not attend as he had an engage
ment to address the hog butchers
union and the hog butchers are a
great deal more important to me than
the mayor" he declared.
Without waiting for time to be
set, the packers sent committee to
Mayor Harrison and informed him i
would do no good to arrange ioin'
conference with the strike leaders
The committee contended it had al
ready won the strike and it would dc
no good to meet the strikers. They
also said they would accept nobody's
Intervention. The mayor is reported
to have said in reply he was satisfied
his good offices were useless
would make no further effort to brins
about meeting between the pack
ers and strikers.
