WOULD LYNCH NEGROES
Six Blacks Have a Narrow Es.
cape in Chicago.

Six negroes narrowly escaped lynch
ing at the hands of a mob of more
than 5000 people in Chicago. The ne
groes were engaged in a crap game in
the yards of the Illinois Central Rail-
road company on the south side of the
city when watchman employed by
the company ordered them to move on.
The blacks refused and in the al
tercation that followed one of the crap
shooters pulled a revolver and shot
the white man. News of the shooting
quickly spread to an amusement re-
sort nearby and in an incredibly short
time a mob formed and Threats of
lynChing spread like wild fire.
The police, however, were soon on
the spot and managed to get their
prisoners to a nearby station. The
mob followed and endorsements were
hurried from the Hyde Park and other
stations. The mob made demonstra-
tions of violence, hut later dispersed.

STATE RESTS CASE
IN BROWNIES TRlM
Link and BeCkGmayer Tell Of
Receiving BrIbe Money.

The state rested in the case Of Lee
O'Neil Brownies trial at Chicago on
the charge of brining certain Illinois
Legislators to vote for William Lorimer
for senator.
The last two witnesses called for
by States Attorney Wayman were
State Senator Isley and Mollie Vande-
Veer. lsley, however, was not allowed
to continue his testimony.
Representative Beckemeyer, who on
the stand swore that Browne had paid
him $1,000 for his Lorimer vote with
out any previous promise, took the
stand at the opening of court for cross
examination.
At the conclusion of Beckemeyer's
testimony Mr.. Wayman asked Judge
McSurely to call Representative Mich
ael S. Link to the witness stand. The
court did so over strenuous objections
by the defense
In the most dramatic session of the
trial, sometimes on the verge of tears,
sometimes throwing the court and the
jury into laughter, Link told that
hC hoO NOlC0 IO1 AO1 duu T6C01N6Q
$1,000 from Browne. He elated the de-
fense by saying no money had been
promised him for his vote and no ex-
PLANTATION made when it was paid.
Under a grilling cross-examination
by the defense Link nearly broke
down. His description of torture in
the sweatbox, which was drawn from
him by Attorney Erbstein, was hailed
by the defense as a victory.
Did you not break down in the
states attorneys office and say you
would swear to anything if you could
only get out and see your wife?"
shouted Erbstein. YES" gasped Link.
And didn't Mr.. Wayman say you
would have to choose between your
wife and the penitentiary?"
YES" said Link, his voice husky
and his eyes wet.
"And didn't Wayman say the in
dictment would be quashed if you
went before the jury and told them
the story you have told here?" "Yes,"
said Link, who admitted also that
after he had told the story about get
ting money the perjury indictment had
been withdrawn.

HERO IF FLOOD IS ANXIOUS ID BE

Season in Prison Fails to Cure Him of Thirst for
 Enemy's Blood

PARIS, May 23-Police and magis. trates were puzzled for more than a week by most respectable man who had fallen into their hands, He was real hero and excited their admira- ton during the inundations. but all the same they would have been glad if he mad onl y made up his mind earlier to go home and be good. The absurd and sublime were never more deliciousIy mixed up, This well-to.do resident of the suburbs, whose neighbor was endan- gered during the flood, helped to rescue him, his little daughter and some fowls in boat from an island that was be- ing submerged, and on which the man was living. In passing through an oc- trol station on their return the little girl forgot to "declare" their fowls. The petrol inspector saw this and ran after the girl to make her pay sum of l franc 10 centimes, and also to draw up a process verbal for a prospective fine.
 Let these people alOne,' said this honorable resident. eff there is any thing to be done, shall come tomorrow and settle it.''
 He did go on the following day, but arrived just ten minutes late at the oc- trol station. The papers had been sent away and criminal prosecution was to be started. The good resident thereup- on became so yeXed at the official 's has ty action that he called out for gun to shoot him. But after reflection he thought it better to deliver himself up to the police than to commit murder, and so he did.
 CT shall murder that man, he said to the police commissioner, eff you do ont lock me up."
 The police officer had no choice left. He did lock him up, and thought that by dinner or supper time his wrath would cool down. But it did not. The

ORDEAL IF VETERAN
Saves Life by Cutting Bite of Rattlesnake from
 Only Limb

NEW YORK, May 23.-The Rever- George Legrand, a crippled veteran of the Civil war, was walking through a strip of woods near his home this morn ing, when he encountered large rattle snake, a species now seldom seen in South Jersey. The snake showed fight and made savage attack upon the old soldier, sinking its fangs in his wooden leg. As if angered by the mistake, the rattler even more viciously made an- other strike, and Legrand felt the poi son sink deep into his good leg.
 Legrand managed to beat the snake off with club and then he deliberately cut around the wound it had made in his leg, using heavy pocketknife. Stop ping the flow of blood as best he could the plucky old warrior made his way home and summoned a physician. The latter said Legrand had probably saved his life by his heroic treatment of the bite, but that he might have to lose the lower part of the injured leg.
