Memphis, Tenn Memphis suffered .
genuine snow storm sunday. and in tho

Records in the weather bureau show
no parallel in forty-onc years. and a
general alarm has been raised by fruit
growers, who declare that the unprcce-
dented weather has Killed crops.
The change was sudden. Toward mid
night the skies began 10 cioud Saturday

RACE WAR IN TEXAS TOWN
Twelve Negroes Beaten and One White
Man Injured.

Coleman, Texas.-Twelye negroes bad
ly beaten. one white man seriously in
jured and the entire negro population
OF Coleman, of between $50 and 200
men, women and children, driven out Of
town, is the result OF race riot which
occurred at O'Clock Sunday afternoon.
Until the Santa Fe railroad began
using negro labor ON construction work
in this section, a black face was a rarity
here, and trouble has been brewing ever
since negroes in considerable numbers
began moving into town. This feeling
has been greatly intensified recently by
alleged inflammatory utterances Of some
of the negro leaders, who asserted that
they were here, and here to stay.
With this feeling of hostility existing,
ii needed but spark to start trouble,
and this spark was furnished this after
noon when two white youths became in
volved in a fight with a negro.
