UNARMED NEGROES SHOT.
Sheriff Places Palestine Deaths at
From Is to 20.

Palestine, Tex-At least fifteen,
perhaps twenty, negroes, all of them
probably unarmed, we're hunted down
and killed by a mob of from two hum
dred to three hundred men in the
Slocum and Denison Springs neigh
borhood of Palestine, according to
Sheriff Black, who returned here
after twenty-four hours in that dis
trict. He told of fierce man-hunt in
the woods, of riddleG bodies found on
lonely roads and of the terror among
the inhabitants in the southeastern
part of Anderson county
Sheriff Black says his estimate. of
the dead is conservative. He made
a careful investigation, and after tell
ing of it's results, added:
I'VE won't find some of the bodies
until the location is revealed to us
by the buzzards.
I'VE found eleven bodies, but from
what / have heard the dead must
number fifteen or twenty. We came
across four bodies in one house on
marsh between Denison Springs and
Slocum.
II am led to believe that the trou-
BILE was due to a controversy over
promissory note. r. Alvord, white
man, who is cripple. had gone on
negro's note. The note came due,
and he got after the negro to renew
it or to pay it or something of the
kind, and the negro refused and
cursed him. The incident caused bad
feeling. This negro was killed, and
then they went to killing them all
over the country.
II have two deputies working in
conjunction with the rangers, and
think the situation is now under con-
troll"
