The Identity of Mississippi
Lynchers Has Been
Established.

''''''' ''''aGFf were COMMITTED
White "Hoodlums" Killed Negroes
Want0nly and Burned the Homes of
Many Who We're Not Even in Sym.
pathy With the Criminal Blacks
The Men Will Surely be Captured.

Asssciated Press to The Evening Times.
New Orleans, Dec. 27-That white
men protected innocent negroes and
that every effort is being made by
whites to punish those "hoodlums" of
their own race who were responsible
for the Christmas riots in Kemper
county, Mississippi, was the informa-
tfon in detailed accounts arriving
early today from the little towns
which were the scene of blood shed.
"A conference has been held" these
dispatches say, between the civil and
military authorities at which evidence
was produced that will establish the
identity of five white men of good
families Of the county who took part
in the lynchings."
District Attorney Currie has made
a public statement in which he says:
Il find upon an investigation that the
trouble was caused by lot of hood
lums and outlaws who openly violat-
ed all the laws of God and man and
decency. The four men killed Christ
mas day were not connected with the
affair in any manner, and I am in
formed that the houses burned were
occupied by negroes who were not
even in sympathy with any of those
who were connected with the out
RACES. These men will be captured
if it is in the power of the state of
Mississippi to do so."

H0.MESTEADER

Special to The Evening Times.
Imperial, N. D., Dec. 27.-M. D.
Donovan, homesteader living five
miles north Of this place was found
frozen to death within five feet of the
homestead shack of Frank Warwick.
The man had been missing Just a
week when his body was found. He
had been holding down his home
stead for eight months and would
have completed his residence at the
end of December, when he could have
made final proof. He was a printer,
and several days each week he had
been assisting with the work in the
Office of the Crosby Review at Crosby,
which is about six miles from his
farm.
On Saturday afternoon, December
15, he left his work and started on
foot for his homestead taking with
him quantity of provisions. He
stopped and delivered mail at home
steader's shack two. miles distant
from his home about dusk Saturday
evening, which was the last time he
was seen alive. Not returning to his
work early in the week, a man was
sent to his claim to see If he was
there. A careful investigation of the
place showed he had not been there
for number of days
Searching parties were sent out in
all directions from this place and
Crosby and the search was kept ur
vigorously until late Saturday night,
but was unsuccessful.
Frank Warwick, the man who made
the discovery had been absent from
his claim two weeks, so was net
aware of Donovan being missing, nor
did he know Donovan. He came to
town at once and told the story of his
discovery and it was surmised that
Donovan had been found. A party
went out to the place late Saturday
evening and identified the corpse as
that of the man that was being lock-
ed for.
The body was found between the
shack and a deep snow drift and was
almost covered with snow. The door
of the shack was locked, but would
have been accessible easily by break
ing the window. A cord of wood,
a large stove, several heavy blankets
and provision enough to last at least
a week were in the shack. 1t is the
general belief that he was nearly ex-
hausted that he could not break into
the shack or that he lost his reason
ing in wandering through the deep
snow, and from suffering from the in
tense cold.

received that the Yaquis were upon
the war path and that a few people in
the neighborhood of the station and

Col. Maxon and his party continued
to station about fifteen miles far

signs of the uprising became alarm
ing the party decided to return. Tne
train started back toward Lanche and
when it arrived the station house had
been burned and demolished and four,
human bodies laid along the track.
The party stopped few minutes
in the hope that the survivors might
be found and taken to place of
safety While the train was at the
ruins of the station, desperadoes ap-
peared in the distance, but did not
come within range of the few armed
people on the train. The bodies of
the victims were still warm wilen
Maxson saw them, and with the aid of
others on the train they were given a,
hasty burial. Not many miles along
the scene was duplicated. Four more
dead bodies of Mexicans and Ameri-
cans were discovered along the
tracks
