TEXAS HAS
RACE WAR
Five Hanged Together-Another shot
While Trying to Escape 7 Three
Others Killed and Two Hurr''
Away for safety.-Both Sides Arm
for Conflict.

Houston. Tex, June 23.-Nine ne.
oroes met death last night at the hands
of mob in the vicinity of Hemphlli' III
Sabine county. Today both races Sc
cured arms and the tension is such to-
night that race clash appears immi-
nent.
The lynchings followed the killing
of two white men by negroes. Two
weeks ago Hugh Dean and several
other white men visited negro church
and schoolhouse, where a dance was IN
progress, presumably in quest Of
liquor, it being the custom Of some Of
the negroes to sell whisky during the
progress Of such affairs. During the
evening Dean was killed and six ne
groes were held for the killing.
AT the preliminary examination evil
dence tending to show that the plot
was planned at the dance to kill Dean
was produced. Saturday last Aaron
johnson, a prominent farmer, was as
sassinated while seated at the dining
table with his wife and child, the bull
let being fred through window. For
this crime Perry Price, negro, was
arrested, and, it is stated, confessed,
duplicating Robert Wright, a relative
of one of the negroes held for Dean IS
murder. Price declared he was offered
S. to kill Johnson.
Then followed the forming Of mob
last night, the overpowering of the
jailer at Hemphill, and the lynching of
the six negroes held for the murder of
Dean. Five were hanged to the same
tree, while another attempted to escape
and was shot to death.
Later in the night William Mccoy,
another negro, was shot and killed
while standing at the gate of the John
son home, and this morning the bodies
of two more negroes were found in the
creek bottom. Wright, the negro who
confessed to the killing of johnson, and
the man implicated were taken to Beau.
mont for safekeeping under guard of
the military company of st. Augustine.
Sabine county is situated in the most
remote part of the eastern section of
the state, with sparse railroad and tele-
phone facilities.
