and on investigation the miller found
the body lodged between two large
iron cog wheels. The body was hor-
ribly mangled and almost cut in two.

NEGROES KILLED BY M0BS
TWO AT CHARLESTON, MO-, ONE
AT COLUMBIA, ALA.
Two Accused of Murder and One Of
Attempted Criminal Assault.
Jails Stormed.

Charleston, Mo-, July 3.-Two ne
groes were lynched here this after
noon forthe murder of William Fex,
a planter of Mississippi county. They
were taken from the county jail by
a large crowd of infuriated citizens
who broke down the doors with
sledge hammers shortly after 4
o'clock. The negroes we're alleged
to have shot Fox in the back while
riding in his wagon about two miles
from town last night.
He died after identifying his as
sailants.
The negroes approached Fox yes
terday afternoon in Charleston, where
he was trading. He said they were
working for a threshing outfit near
his place and asked permission to
ride in his wagon. Between and
8 o'clock Fox started for his home.
six miles from Charleston. with the
negroes in the wagon.
Shot From Behind.
Two miles from town one of the
negroes shot Fox through the back
and both searching his pockets. An
approaching wagon caused them to
run.
The approaching men were friends
of Fox, and at once notified the sher-
iff. Bloodhounds were put on the
trail and the negroes were soon
captured. They were brought to
Charleston and locked up.
This morning farmers began ar
irving in town, and alarmed by
threats of lynching, Sheriff Culp ap-
pealed to Gov. Hadley for assistance
and swore in a number of deputies.
The deputy sheriffs were powerless
to check the mob, however.
1t required two hours to break in
to the Jail. Then the men rushed in
on the frightened negroes, and, with
yells, took them outside.
One Hanged at Once.
One negro was hanged in the Jail
yard after he confessed his guilt. The
other was hurried into an automobile
and taken to the spot where he had
hid the revolver with which Fox was
shot. This weapon found, the negro
was taken back to Charleston.
In the presence of nearly 5000
people, who yelled their approval,
the second negro was hanged from
the yard arm of a crossing sign at
the intersection of the two branches
of the Iron Mountain railroad. The
mob was bent on burning the negro
section of Charleston, but cooler
heads prevailed and order was re-
stored late tonight.
A coroner's jury returned verdict
that the negroes came to their death
by parties unknown.

all appearances in his customary

WILL LEAVE PARISH
Rev. J. w. Jones Makes a Tenta-
tive Resignation to Vestry.

Rev. John w. Jones, a former rec
tor OF st. James parish, who left Os-
kalOOsa about two years ago to &C
cept the call to the larger parish at
Council Bluffs. seems TO be out of
harmony with part of his vestry and
congregation. The following letter
addressed to a church meeting has
found its way into print and explains
the tentative resignation which Rev.
Jones has presented to his parish:
"RectOr's Study, st. Pauls Parish,
Council Bluffs, Ia, October 3, 1910
TO the wardens and vestrymen of St.
PauEs Parish. Council Bluffs, Iowa,
Gentlemen: We are on the eve of a
crisis in our parish, which apparently
means that the congregation as a
whole is to be thrown into an unhap-
py turmoiI-either by the resignation
OF majority of the vestrymen or be-
cause OF an ecclesiastical investigation
by the bishop in an effort by the said
majority of the vestry to compel the
resignation o" removal OF the rector,
which effort the rector has been de-
termined and convinced that he would
be able to defeat. .....
That the vestry, the majority OF
whom are not and have not been sup
porting their rector in his efforts for
the spiritual upbuilding OF the church
nor properly attending to the TEN.

fully enforce the removal OF a rector.

you have made or can make against

OF such conflict. Already they have
suffered enough because of the 'antag.

vestrymen.' And l hereby state to
you my willingness and intent to re-
