Tonight's victim of the race preiu-
dice was an aged negro, William
Dcnigan He was a cobhler and re-
spected as simple and unoffensive
citizen His shop was within two
blocks of the state house Tonight
in the absence of the patrol, the mob
set fire to the shop and the venet
able nigro was compelled by smoke
to run into the street His appear
ance was greeted by shower of
stones and bricks and as he stag
gered under the fuslade he was seized
and his throat cut.
A rope was then run through the
wound and the victim was bound to a
tree There he was found later, un-
conscious and all but dead. DR. Tut
tie who dressed the wound said that
death was matter of hours. A Wit
ness to the firing of the shop turned
in an alarm but when the firemen ap
pcared the blaze was out. 1t had not
gained much Roadway and had been
extinEuished by some of the cooler
heads of the mob.
Troops Disperse Crowd.
Two companies of infantry and
a troop OF cavalry were rushed to the
scene and at their appearance the /
