Houston, Texas, June 23.-As a
result of two murders in Sabine
county, committed by negroes, of
which white men were victims, there
was a wholesale lynching Sunday
might, five negroes being hanged to
one limb, another shot as he ran,
two others shot and thrown into a
creek and the ninth shot as he stood
at the gate of one of the murdered
victims
Two weeks ago Hugh Dean, a
young white farmer Of Sabine coun-
ty, was killed at a negro church. 1t
was rallying place for negroes and
near there whisky could be purchas-
ed from blind tiger" that being
a local option community. Dean had
gone to get some of the whisky. He
was shot down and his body left ly-
ing all night where it was discovered
the next morning. The negroes made
up a purse for the escape of the man
who fired the shot, but six were ar

rest of six negroes who have been
held without bond in the Hemphill
Jail. There has since been friction
between the two races and high ten
sion, armed men of both races be-
ing continually watching each other.
The affair was brought to a eli
max Saturday night by the killing
of Aaron Johnson, young white
had just eaten supper and was lying
on a cot playing with his baby while
his wife sat near by. The shot which
killed him was from a double bar
relied shot gun, being fired through
the window tearing his head off.
State rangers Investigated 1T and ar
rested Perry Price, a negro who had
been working on the Johnson place.
Price confessed to the killing, claim
ing that he had been paid IS by Bob
Wright, a brother-in-law of Johnson,
to do the killing. Wright was at once
arrested by the sheriff of the adjoin-
ing county and arrangements were
made to take them both to other
jails for safe keeping. Sunday night
about 3 O'Clock a crowd of $50 arm
ed men went to the sheriff of Sabine
county at Hemphill and demanded
his keys; he refused, was overpower-
ed and the six negroes being held for
the Dean murder were taken out.
Five were hanged to the same
limb of nearby tree and one who
ran from the mob was shot down in
his tracks. The dead:
Jerry Evans, aged % years.

One Hundred Melons VIII Be Cut a
Chautauqua Park for the Boys
and Cirls-The Monday
Night Services.

An evidence of the growth of in
terest in the mems meetings at 10
O'Clock in the court house is the
constant increase in attendance. The
service this morning was the best
yet Men as rule do not memori2e
much scripture and it was very sur
prising to hear so many quote pas
sages from the bible at the mo- u
man present who felt impressed to
do 50 to remain seated and give just
one verse from the bible. So many
were anxious to do so that they ran
over the time allotted for that part
of the service and the evangelist had
to ask them to stop and allow him
to proceed with the sermon.
A new feature of the revival meet
ing was introduced last night when
Il series of pictures on the life of
Christ was thrown upon the canvas.
When it was announced Sunday that
stereopticon pictures were to be
shown every night this week a great
many people were at loss to know
! how the pictures could be shown in
/ conjunction with a revival service
! but it was demonstrated beyond all
| doubt that this could be done sue
cessfully. Before seven-thirty the
streets and cars were crowded with
men and women and boys and girls
toward the Methodist church. For
fifteen minutes tie audience was de-
lightfully entertained with the beau
tifully colored pictures showing the
different phases of the life of Christ.
Rev. Gill has consented to lecture
each night on the pictures and this
will prove an added attraction.
An announcement was made last
night that will greatly delight the
young people. On Friday afternoon
at the Chautauqua Park there is to
be a watermelon feast for the boys
and girls and young people, and one
hundred ice cold watermelons are
! to be cut and distributed among the
crowd. 1t is expected that at least a
thousand of the young people will
attend. The street cars will be char
tered to run to the grounds to carry
the crowd.
Before the sermon last night
Messrs. Jolly and Smith sang solos
which were greatly enjoyed
Dr. Walton took as a subject THE
DEVILS Note Book"
He recited many of the excuses
that the devil puts into the hearts
and mouths of men for not accept
ing Christ as a Savior. In strong
terms he denounced the people who
are saying there are too many hypo-
critics In the church. Are there any
more hypocrites in the church thar
there are in business?" said the
evangelist. Just because there are
hypocrites in the grocery business
do men desist from going into tha
business?
Then there are some people WHIT
say there are too many things tt
give up. Too many pleasures to fore
