IN CONTROL.
Four Men Shot TO Death at Hemp

As the result OF the bloody battle AZ
Hampstead, Tex, Monday night, when
four men were killed and others injured,
Hampstead was Tuesday night under
control of the Texas rangers. Martial
law has not been declared, but the adju-
tant general arrived with a number OF
rangers and assumed charge of affairs.
No one is permitted to bear arms. and
the excitement manifested during the
day BIZ. quoted down.
Ro!. I'D Brown, the son Of one of the
men killed at the prohibition mass meet
ing Monday night, was Tuesday placed
under arrest on a charge of firing the
shot which killed Representative Pinck-
ney. He stated that his father was I'M
der the influence of intoxicants when re
attended the meeting, and that he (the
SOM attempted to dissuade him from at
tending. His father, however, was firm
in his intention, and went to the meet
ing. The son followed and took part
in the shooting.
1t has been established that the trou-
BILE began when Capt. Brown attempted
to secure recognition to speak at the
meeting. 1t is said that his language
was offensive to several ladies present,
and the fusillade began Immediately af-
terward. Congressman Pinckney was
shot our times and was almost instant
ly killed. Thomas pinckney, a brother
Of the congressman, was shot twice in
the back and killed, and Capt. Brown re-
ceieved a bullet through the heart. John
e.. Mills, the remaining victim, took no
part in the affair and was accidentally
killed by a stray bullet.
The killings are the direct result of a
prohibition movement in Waller County,
which was begun some months ago, and
the feeling has been intense. An cleo
ton was held in Waller County OH April
20, and the prOhibitionists. with whom
the Pinckneys were affiliated, were sue
cessful. The Prohibition League was
called together Monday night to wind up
its affairs and disband. A resolution re-
questing the governor of Texas to send
troops to Waller County for the purpose
of enforcing the law against liquor sell
ers was eXcitedly debated. 1t was at
this juncture that Capt. Brown, who
had figured prominently as an anti-pro-
h~ibitionist, attempted to have the chair
man recognize him, and it was shortly
after shat the firing began.
