Salesman Murdered.

The dead body Of Charles Freeman, a
travelling salesman, representing prom
inent packing concern at Keystone, Nc
Dowell county, w. Va, WIS found Mon-
day. His throat had been cut and his
pockets had been relieved OF money and
other vsluables.
Yesterday evidence was secured which
pointed strongly to the fact that num-
Der of colored policemen were the guilty
parties. Warrants we're sworn out yes
terday for J. F. Johnson, Lum Doss
and Kid James. The feeling became so
strong against these men that it was de-
cided to carry them TO Welcb.
Last night the mayor of Keystone re-
moved all the other colOred policemen
from the force. For time it looked as
though a race riot was imminent.
Freeman was prominent Odd Fell
low, and members of that order have
made up fund for the prosecution of
the perpetrators OF the crime. A clash
between the whites and the blacks at
Keystone would be no surprise.
