Mob After Negroes.

Columbus Junction, Aug. 31-"Lynch
hint Were the cries which greeted the
captors of one of the negro ASSISTANTS
Of two white men here last night as
they marched their captive up the
street to the Jail.
The crowd echoed the shouts and
struggled to get at the prisoner and it
was with the greatest difficulty that
the man was lodged in Jail, where his
comradeN already was.
The two negroes at $3.50 last even
ing, shot and perhaps fatally wounded
William O'Connor. an elderly one armed
man, and another resident of the city.
John Pedy by name The attack was
uttedly unwarranted and reused the
fury Of the town to pitch never before
known here. O'Connor and the other
man were near the railroad station
when the former accidentally brushed
into one of the two sitting negroes.
Words ensued and without warning one
OF the negroes drew a revolver and
fired on O'Connor. The other second
later shot at Pedy.
Both men dropped and the negroes
turned and ran. One was captured
without difficulty and hustled to jail.
The other, heeter of foot, sped out Of
the town and down into the bottom
country. Most of his pursuers fell back
but three men, Ed Hanft, Charles Boil
lenach and Bunk Green, kept UP the
chase. which lasted for six miles. The
negro doubled once on the huntsmen
and made back toward the city. He was
finally brought to bay with a well di-
rected bullet which caught him in the
leg.
His captors marched him into town.
Word got out Of their coming and then
the demonstration began against the
prisoner. The movement led even to
the bringing of rope, but lacking an
energetic leader, the mob was foiled.
There is still talk of lynching the
negroes but danger Of such an event is
believed to be over.

Iowa City, Aug. 31.-After attempt
ing to murder Miss Florence Fuhr-
meister. at the home of her grand
father. three and one-half miles north
east of Iowa City, William Doehef
shot himself and died instantly. 1t is
thought the young man, whose atten-
tons had not been encouraged by the
girls family, was insanely jealous or
her.
The shooting took place between ~
and II o'clock in the evening. Doe
hrer, who is 81, called at the residence
Of Fred F'uhrmeister, where the girl
had been staying for few days nufs-
ingl a sick man, and asked to see Mlss
Fuhrmeister, saying that he was going
away and desired to bid the young lady
good by. Thinking that he would not
bother the family any, longer, the girl
was called and went out 10 the gate.
She says that after talking to him for
a little while he called her attention to
some thing that was supposed to be
going on at the house, and when she
turned to look he fired at her. The
shot struck her in the back of the head
near the base of the brain and a little
to the right of the vertical line or the
skull. The noise of the shot aroused
the people in the house and they rushed
out.
AS the people came from the house
they say Doehrer stepped back about
sixteen PAGES. He then placed the
forehead and shot himself in the center
Of the head between the eyes. He fell
over dead.
The girl was taken into the house
and after time revived so as to tell
incoherently what had happened. The
body of Doehrer was placed on bed
In the house and the authorities at
Iowa City were notified. In thel abb
sence of the coroner, Justice Horack
and Sheriff Rowland went out to the
farm to make an investigation.
AS nearly as can be ascertained.
Doehrer had made but one remark that
indicated his intentions. In the aft
ernoon he was cutting weeds along the
side of the road, when the girls father
came along in buggy and asked him
to go to town with him. Doehrer said:
Il guess / will. There will be plenty
of weeds to cut after l am gone"
Whether this was a mere chance re-
mark, or indicated something wrong
with the young fellows mind, will new
er be known. The only explanation of
the tragedy Is that Doehrer was in
sanely jealous of the girl.
Miss Fuhrmeister, who is Is years
old, but large of her age, is a beauti-
full girl. The effect of the wound had
not been considered fatal up to today
There was no paralysis. But the bull
let remains in her head, and phys
icians deem it inadvisable to probe for
1t. She is very weak from the shock
and the loss of blood.
