LYNCHING AVERTED
IN TENNESSEE TOWN
RAIDS ON NEGRO GAMBLING
DIVES IN UNION CITY RESULT
IN THE INJURY OF SEVERAL
OFFICERS.

Memphis, May IA Commercial-A Appeal
special from Union City, Tenn, says that
as a result of raid on negro gambling
house there today, in which Chief of Po-
lice Pardue and two patrolmen were
slightly wounded, the lynching of a negro
wh is alleged to have done the shooting
has been averted only by prompt meas
ures on the part of the officials in spirit
ing him away to Dwyersburg.
Accompanied by four of his men, Chief
Pardue invaded a notorious negro dive
this afternoon. A number of inma tes had
barricaded themselves in an upstairs
room, and when the police demanded ad-
mittance several shots were fired through
the door. Chief Pardue received a bullet
in the wrist, and Pa rolmen Fonsee,
White and Thomas BroSn were wounded
in the hand. Tho door sgas finally broken
in. All but four of the negroes had leap
ed from the windows and escaped The
remaining quartette were placed under
arrest and taken to Jail, The sight of the
wounded policemen marching through the
streets with their prisoners attracted a
large crowd, and threats that were made
to clean out the negro dives of the city
were closely followed by the crowds in
Vaolng the negro quarters DlVekeepers
and habitues were given a limited time to
leave the city, and there was prompt ex-
odus of scores. John Clemmens. the ne
gro believed to have fired the shots that
wounded the policemen, had escaped, and
a posse was formed to serch for him. The
negro was apprehended a few miles from
the city after several shots had been fired
at him, all of which went wide of their
mark
When the prisoner was brought back
to Union City, hundreds of persons were
gathered about the jail, and threats Of
lynching became general. Perceiving the
temper of the crowds, and fearing an at
tack on the jail, the authorities took quick
action. Clemmens was rushed from the
jail by a rear entrance. placed on a train
and was well on the way to Dwyersburg
before the fact Of his departure was made
known.
