SPRINGFIELD, I'LL, Aug. 20
Springfield was inflamed tonight by a
report that Rolla Reyes, a 17-year-old
boy, who testified before the special
grand jury when that body, indicted
George Richardson for an alleged as
sault upon Mrs. Mabel Hollam, had
been shot by friends of the accused
negro.
Before the rumor had time to spread
far, however, it was learned that the
shooting was accidental, the wound
having been inflicted by bullet from
q revolver belonging to a companion
of Keyes. The boy is so seriously In
jured he may not recover.
Because of the excitement caused by
the first reports of the accident extra
precautions were taken by Col MORT
arity and Col. Foreman, in command
of the two military sections of the city,
to prevent the gathering of crowds.
True Version Circulated
The members of the patrols were
also instructed to spread the true YER
sion of the accident and to arrest any
person discovered counseling violence
to negroes.
The occurrence caused fresh fears in
the BLACK belt despite the attempts
of the officials to quiet the town.
The arsenal was crowded with refu-
gees again.
There was large number of negroes
who slept under the protection of a
guard from the Seventh regiment at
Camp Lincoln.

He had not been gone five minutes

laughed too. Then Mickey got the
hook, raked in the fruit, and they had
