WILLIAMSON. W. VA, Apr.l
The saloons OF Williamson lro
closed Indefinitely owing to a daoas
ion today of the county court which
is now In session here.
IL seems that the city council and
the county court have been arguing
for some time as to the proper dis
position of the license to be issued
for the ensuing year. but could come
TO no agreement. The court adyo-
eating the granting of license TO all
saloons and the council only few.
Thus 1t was today when the city
council granted It's license tho court
refused to allow any at all. revolving
those which the city had allowed
whereupon tho city refused to grant
any license az all.
Williamson viii bo dry. Mt least
until the question IS reconsidered.
which will be at the next. term or
the county court. convening tho
fourth Tuesday In the month.

Negroes at Fort Reno.

Lawton, Okla, Oct. S.-Miitary of ticers in charge of Fort Reno are employing strenuous means to pre- tect the people of that vicinity as well
 as themselves against any lawless soldiers who may be among the negro troops now stationed at that post. No negro soldier is permitted to leave the post except on actual business er- rands. These are the negro troops implicated in the Brownsville. Tex, trouble. That the diligence of the officers is not without cause is shown by the report that a shot was fired into the headduarters of one of the officers recently by an unknown hand.

Mob Is Avenged.

Mobile. Ala. Oct S.-The crimes committed upon Edna May Fowler, Lillian May Savell, Ruth Sossaman and attempts on others whose names are not given, were revenged by a party of forty-five men Saturday afternoon at 12:3o o'clock in a lone ly place just off the Holt road in the neighborhood of Prichard's Station. were all armed with revolvers, shot guns and rifles, not to fire d shot and the orders were carried out.
 Robinson. who committed the first crimes that started the people of Mo- bile and worked them up into q fury, was first strung up. A long half-inch rope was thrown over the limb of a live oak tree According to the state ments of the leaders, Robinson con- fessed and was then swung up. He slowly strangled to death. Robinson was jerked up a distance of about fif- teen feet and the rope fastened. Ac- cording to one of the leaders, Robin son confessed and called the Associat- ed Press reporter over to hear it. but Robinson looked frightened and said heiwas not the man.
 His body was swung up at l2:3 o'clock
 Thompson was hanged as soon as the body of Robinson had been strung up.
 The hanging of the negroes was conducted in very quiet manner, and during the time that the work was going on, hardly word was spoken, At one time one man in the crowd wanted to hurry the lynchinS, but the was stopped until all the arrange mentS were complete.

 This, he admitted, would he placing great inconvenience on the whites, who would have to be included in the law because of the fifteenth ameEd- ment, but he declared if this plan or some peaceable one was not adopted immediately. the country was surely rushing toward the brink of an abyss which meant a horrible and bloody race war of eXtermination.
