4eAAh seems 10 DE determined 10
lead in the matter OF fendish crimes
The following telegraphic report
explains itself:
PARIS, TEX, Dec. IA band
OF armed and mounted whitecaps
visitei the home OF man named
Asa Flood. near Glory, Tex. this
morning between midnight and day.
and murdered him by first shooting
him and then cutting or his head.
After killing Flood. the whitecaps
fired several times at his wife. who
had rushed 10 him when she heard
the first shot, and wounded her IA
tally, leaving her lying across her
husbands body.
About half hour before the Wis
IL OF the whitecaps a man named Al
len Young, returning nome late
from Glory, was passed on the rad
by a band OF mounted men, Who
rode close together with their faces
masked. Young thought nothing
OF this circumstance until ne
learned Of the murder this morning
although he could give no clew TO
the identity Of the men by whom he
was passed.
Mrs Flood was still alive when
found this morning and able TO give
an account OF the murder. She said
that Flood had heard a noise about
the woodpile and went out to inves-
tigate II. Hardly hal he reached
the spot when she heard what
sounded TO her like a volley OF mus
kerry. She sprang out the door and
stumbled over her husbands body.
then heard a crash and knew no
more until morning.
A bloody ak was found near the
woodpile. II is thought II was used
IN cutting of the colored mans
head.
Floods wife was half-breed In
dian while he was the man who hal
a difficulty with a white man on the
streets Of Paris last Saturday and
who fed, pursued by a mob. He
had been In hiding since that time.
There Is no allegation that Flood
killed the white man or that ne
committed or attempted TO commit
q heinous offense upon a white fe-
male. The flemish manner in
which he was murdered and the hor
rible treatment accorded his wife,
.:7Sho is said TO be fatally wounded
beggars description. A man would
be safer In the midst OF rowing
bands of Indians than he apparently
is IN this Civilized" section OF Tex
as. The account tells It's own story.
The wiping out IN blood of this en-
tire family il q closed chapter, so
far as the officers of the law are
concerned. We cannot understand
how 1t is that coIored men Will not
realize and understand that In COM
munities where no protection is az
forded, they must protect them
selves. All colored men must
know that when the iynchers are on
their trail, be the ofrense alleged,
trivial or heinous, their enc has
come and IL remains for them to
fight to the death. giving no quar-,
ter and asking none.
