Dead Bodies Of Negroes Found In All
Parts of the Town and the White
Conductor Who Was Ambushed
Passes Away--Three Blacks Report
cd to Have Been Lynched.
Jackson, Miss, Dec. 26--Governor
Vardaman received telegram from
j. A. Quarles, prominent citizen Of
Scooba, Miss, stating that Il further
uprising had occurred in which 1--WE
unknown negroes were killed. and
that their slayers had been captured.
and asking that % troops be dis
patched to that place to help hold the
prisoners. Governor Vardaman in
structed the colonel commanding at
Meridian to ask for special train
over the Mobile &c Ohio railroad and
to go to the scene as quickly as pos
sible.
Wahalak Miss, Dec. 26.--The state
troops, called here to suppress the
racial rioting, have all returned
to Meridian, their commander having
expressed the belief that there would
be no further use for them. Conduc.
tor Robert Harrison of the Mobile &
Ohio railroad, who was ambushed and
seriously wounded by negro, is dead.
The origin of the racial troubles here
was caused primarily by the meeting
in narrow roadway of wagons driven
by q white farmer and negro respec-
lively. The negro abused the white
man, who reported the occurrence to
the white villagers at Wahalak. The
whites Immediately organized them
selves and in q fight with the negroes
of the community a number of white
men were killed, including one of the
most prominenk in the vicinity. The
number Of negroes killed in the riot
ing has never been approximated, but
dead negroes have been found in all
parts of the settlement since the trou.
BILE started. After the arrival of the
troops no disturbance occurred, al
though it is believed that three ne
groes, including George Simpson, one
of the principals in the disturbance
aboard the Mobile & Ohio train last
Sunday, had been 1ynched just before
the arrival of the troops The citizens
of Wahalak will not admit the fact
that the men were captured by
posse, but say they were lost in the
swamp" while on their way to town.
Two sons of Simpson were shot to
death.
AS near as can be ascertained at
this time the casualties resultant from
the trouble are as follows: Unknown
negro, shot by Conductor Cooper on
the Mobile & Ohio train; Constable
O'Brien, killed by precipitation of the
trouble, George Simpson, when an at
tempt at arrest was made; George
Simpson, lynched; Tom Simpson, son
of George Simpson, shot to death by
white citizens near Wahalak; Jim
Simpson, another son, shot to death;
two unknown negroes, lynched; Con-
ductor Cooper, seriously injured by
being cut and stabbed seven times by
George Simpson, not fatal; Leland
Sparkman, soldier, flesh wound in left
knee, accidental discharge of his own
pistol
