A MOB RULES
SPRINGFIELD
Fired With Vengeance
Against All Negroes
Troops From Throughout
Illinois Hurrying to the
Capital

Springfield, ILL.,, Aug. IA threat
ening mob, bent on wreaking ven
geance on the negro inhabitants of
Springfield, because of an assault
committed today by a negro on a
white woman, is raging through
the streets tonight, beating negroes
and disregarding the soldiers of
troop b, first cavalry, ordered out by
Governor Deneen to preserve order
the governor tonight telegraphed
orders for two companies of militia
and another troop of cavalry from
Peoria, and troop of cavalry each
from Bloomington and Pekin to
Springfield. These soldiers are rush.
ing TO Springfield on special trains
to assist the local troops in main
tanning order.
Negroes in various parts of the
town have been attacked by the
mob. In two instances the negroes
turned with considerable effect upon
their assailants. In one miXup
trooper attempted to separate the
combatants and was nearly over
whelmed by those in the pursuit Of
several negroes. A call for help
brought several other cavalrymen to
the scene, but they were disarmed
and their guns carried away by the
rioters
Most of the members of troop B,
Taylorville, were on guard around the
Jail, where George Richardson, the
negro who assaulted Mrs. Earl Hal
lam at her home today, was re-
moved early in the evening to Bloom
ington. The rioters who gathered in
front of the Jail following the incar-
coration of Richardson were enraged
by the ruse practiced by the sheriff
in removing him. Finding the ne
gro gone, the mob amused itself for
a time by looting negro resorts in
East Washington street. The amuse-
ment of the rioters was tragedy for
negroes, many of whom were rough
ly handled and beaten with pieces of
their own furniture. A white man
and his son, names not ascertained,
were shot and injured, supposedly
by negroes. This encounter further
enraged the mob and they began
general search for negroes wherever
they could be found.

shooting of the two white men to-

Hawkins read it with a smile and
stepped upon the trap.
Where the message came from and
from whom constitute a mystery. eBs-
sic is the name of his wife but so far
as is known she is not in reach of
Tucson by telephone. A few days ago
accompanied by her babe, born since
the confinement of the murderer, she
left for the home of her relatives in
Chicago.
Hawkins left a message which may
result in the freeing of an innocent
man from Folsom. He confessed this
morning that there was a convict
there who had been sent up on false
evidence by him. He did not at the
time mention the name of the convict
but he left it to be understood that
the man had gone to Folsom with him,
he having served a term there for
burglary. The convict was an older
man and got a longer term.
Last week he received a letter from
this convict but he tore it into bits af-
ter reading it. The officers of the
sherifTs office however had opened
and read the letter and it is under
stood that they know the name of the
writer. 1t is also understood that Haw

The hanging of Hawkins had been

mother had not arrived and at his re-
quest Sheriff Pacheco agreed to defer
the execution for twenty-five minutes.
There was still no message. There was
a further wait and it was two o'clock
when the murderer was led to the
ScaffoId.
Hawkins manifested the utmost
coolness throughout and as he stood
on the death trap he was less visibly
affected than any Of the spectators. He
stood without a tremor, during the
brief religious ceremony and while his
legs and arms were being pinioned and
while the black cap was being ad-
justed.
The trap opened and Hawkins shot
downward: the rope rebounded sharply

The Contention of an Attorney For the
Southern Pacific.

San Francisco, Aug 14-Peter f.
Dunno, attorney for the Southern Pa

the railroad commissioners today hav-

Rebates. he eOntended, were good
things in themselves, and he thought
nothing would be better for San Fran

freight for nothing.
