Atlanta, Ga, Sept. 24.-All was quiet
in the city this morning, except the jail
episode, after thirty-six hours absolute
terror. Since late Saturday night the
city has suffered from a race war, and
only the hurried presence of troops
checked a murderous mob.
Riots Began Saturday.
All Saturday night and Sunday morn
ing frenzied rioting occurred, white
men Strengthening negroes. 1t was the
result of repeated assaults on white
women by black men.
Assault Reports Start Trouble.
Saturday afternoon four cases of as
sault were reported. The news excited
a white mob, and 5000 began riot and
an attack on black men generally, who
were pulled out of cars and killed or
run out of town. All this created a
scene or terror, and up to this morning
eighteen negroes are dead, forty in
jured and thousands run out of the city.
Mayor Calls for Help.
So fierce was the rioting yesterday
that the mayor, being unable to quell
the disturbance, called on the COVER
nor, and eight local infantry companies
are modified. This brought about
quiet, although last night two negroes
were fatally shot in Mcdaniel street
before the soldiers could arrive to
save them.

wreck Of the Los Angeles Limited
train at Red Buttes several weeks ago.

sister lived there, but nothing has been

the fellow told him his relatives lived
at Oakland, but in their brief acquaint-
ance the name of the man killed was
not made known to Milne.
