LYNCHlNG AFTERMATH.
Colored Man Nearly Beaten to Death
at Springfield, Ohio.

Springfield, Ohio, March S.-During
the excitement incident to the lynch
ing of Richard Dixon, Monday night, a
colored man, said to have made often
sive remarks to white persons was
Knocked down and probably would
have been beaten to death had not the
police rescued him.
One fact, especially noticeable, was
that no real leader of the mob appeared.
No speeches We're made exciting the
mob to storm the Jail. During the
evening the street cars brought a
steady stream of men from Lagonia. a
suburb OF the city, where large shops
are situated and where Coils was 4
former employe. Many of these men
knew Coils and while they made no
demonstration it was clearly seen that
thy were determined to have his
slayers life before they went back to
work.
All night crowds of men and boys
passed the body of the nob's victim
hooting ut it and occasionally firing a
SNOWFALL or stone. Negro residents of
the city, with few exceptions, went to
their homes upon learning of the lynch
ing. y few of them, however, were
with the mob to the end and seemed to
enter into the nights work in the same
spirit as the white men.
DiXon's body was literally riddled
with bullets. While the whole affair
was done in the glare of electric lights
no masks were used and handkerchiefs
wore not even resorted TO by any of the
men to conceal their faces. Neverthe-
less it was the general opinion here thas
it would be difficult to secure the con-
viction of any of the participants.
