lynched three negroes. One OF the mob
victims was alleged to have thrown
kisses at white women; another was
accused of insulting two white women
and knocking them down, and third
had been convicted of numbering a negro
woman and was under sentence of death.
The bodies Of two OF the negroes,
Gene Marshall and Wade Patterson, were
found later, but that of the third, James
West, is still unaccounted for, although
he was seen in the hands of the mob
with a rope about his neck.
The two bodies recovered were found
about quarter of mile apart That
of Marshall was found hanging to a
bridge near the jail, while that Of Pat
terson was found in Cedar Greek. Pat
terson, it is said, attempted to escape
from the mob and was shot. His body
was thrown in the creek

ILLEGAL DEER KILLING.
Alleged Violations in Rochester Have
Been Investigated.

Lyndohville, Jan. u. State Fish and
Game Commissioner Titcomb has for
some time been aware OF continual vio-
lation OF the game laws, especially the
taking of deer, in the town of Roches-
ter Deputy Warden L. L. Shepard OF
that town, together with County Warden
b. nj. Newton, gave the matter some vtg-
orous attention last week Armed with
six search warrants they proceeded to
search as many premises AT the rest
dence OF Charles Johnson, they found
forequarter of fresh venison, and at
the home of Wallace Russell a fresh
deer skin and nearly half OF deer car
eass stored in milk cans. Johnson and
MarteH with the venison, were taken to
Rochester village and placed under bail
Of $3.50 each for appearance at Windsor
county court.
The wardens are inclined to believe
that the timely use Of the telephone
gave other persons an opportunity to
get venison out Of sight The people Of
Rochester express pleasure at the result
of the search and state it is the best
piece Of work ever done there by officers
in enforcing game laws
