OKLAHOMA APPROVES
LYNCHING OF NEGRO

Durant. Okla. Aug. 15.-Although lit
tie condemnation was offered here to-
day for the members of the mob who
yesterday burned to ashes the body Of
a negro who assaulted Mrs. l.. r.
Campbell, north Of this city, county Of
ficials said today that every effort
would be made to apprehend the lead
ers of the mob.
Mrs. Campbell, who was shot by the
negro after he had attacked her, was
in serious condition today. The ne
gro. who was a stranger In this COM
munity, has not been identified AS
his ashes were scattered to the winds.
there Is little probability of identifiica-
ton.
Negroes Ordered to Leave.
Persons believed to have been men,
bers Of the lynching party last night,
spread the warning that all negroes
must leave Durant The negro element
mere Is limited to about 20 servants
Most of these left the city this morn
ing. Serious race troubles is feared at
Caddo. IL miles north Of this city.
where there are many negroes, and
from which place the negro is said to
have come.
The attack upon Mrs Campbell, It
was learned today, followed a series Of
wild crimes which lead to the belief
that the negro was demented. Early
yesterday he attempted to rob a negro
nagman near this city and when the
negro ran fired three shots after him.
He then started across country, south
west, and after attempting to hold up
the clerks who slept in the Berwick
country store. and being driven away
with shotgun. entered the Campbell
home
Running Fight With Posse.
The posse found the negro IL miles
southwest OF here when a running fight
ensued, the negro lodging through the
woods. hiding behind trees and shout
Ing like mad man.
The posse numbered Is men, 1t was
estimated that at least 10 shots were
fired at the negro by each man before
mis- mangled body was picked up. The
corpse was brought to this citv In an
automobile. The ALARM, of the negros
crime had preceded the sheriff's arriy-
al. He was met at the outskirts of the
city by a mob Of 500 persons, aroused
from early morning sleep and some
half dressed.
The posse was powerless. The dead
negro was taken from the officers and
carried to the home of a physician
where Mrs. Campbell was being treat
ed Although apparently near death
herself, Mrs. Campbell identified the
body as that of her assailant The body
was taken to vacant lot near the CEN
ter OF the city and burned on pyre
of dry goods boxes. Mrs. Campbell was
taken to hospital in Sherman, Tex.

drunken Niger do UP such q white
man, as Ricey"
The throng was instantly trans
formed into riotous mob. The at
tack on the hospital was then made.
There were only the Superintendent,
four nurses and a policeman in the in
stitution at the time and 4 defense OF
the negro was impossible. The crowd
swarmed into the hospital through
doors and windows and before most of
the mob knew 1t, the wounded and
frightened negro was being taken out
of the building. Still lying on the cot
he was carried through the streets and
out of the city to the Newland farm.
He had been tied to the bed with
ropes and as the crowd tore fence rails
and gathered wood and other inflam-
mables. Walker writhed on his cot and
tugged at his bonds, but could not
free himself.
TIL enegro pleaded for mercy. He de-
clared he killed Rice in self defense.
Don't give me cook death because
I am not white"
Only vile oaths greeted his pleas.
Mob Leaders Marked.
All the leaders Of the mob wore
masks of handkerchiefs tied around
their faces. They did their work
quickly and piling up the rubbish
placed the cot, with its shuddering VIC
tim on 1t, over the pile. A dozen
matches, 1t seemed, we're simultaneous
ly applied to the pyre and in an in
slant the negro was enveloped in the
flames.
The fire burned the ropes that held
him and he made a dash for liberty.
Walker reached fence and was about
to climb it when stalwart hands seized
and dragged him back and hurled him
into the flames. He writhed In terrible

members of the mob left the scene.

BREAKS UP A COLD
IN SEVERAL HOURS
Most Effective and Harmless
Way to Cure a Severe Cold
and End All Grippe Misery.

There is not one grain of quinine in
Pape's Cold Compound. which. when
taken every two hours, until three
consecutive doses are taken, will sure
,ly end the grippe and break up the
most severe cold, either in the head,
chest, back. stomach or limbs.
1t promptly relieves the most mis-
erable headache, %dullness, head and
nose stuffed up, feverishness. sneez-
ing, sore throat, running of the nose.
catarrhal affections. soreness. stiff
ness and rheumatic twinges.
Pape's Cold Compound is the re-
suit of three years research at a cost
of more than fifty thousand dollars.
and contains no quinine, which we
have co%nclusively demonstrated is not
effective in the treatment of colds or
grippe.
Take this harmless Compound as
directed. with the knowledge that
there is no other medicine made any
where else in the world which will
cure your cold or end Grippe misery
as promptly and without any other as
~sistance or bad after-effects as. a 25-

RAILROADS CLAIM
LARGE CREWS ARE
NOT NEEDED NOW
Say at Full-crew Hearing That
Modern Appliances Give
Trainmen "Snap."

A hearing or. the proposed full crew
law. requiring railroads to carry an ex-
ira brakeman on all trains, took place
in freeholders' room at heC Court louise
today. The hearing was attended by
officials of all the railroads, but most
of the time was taken up by ]. Stewart
Patterson, counsel, j.. r. Alexander, su-
~perintendent of motive power, and J. b.
Fisher, superintendent of the New York
division of the Pennsylvania railroad.
About thirty trainmen from the va
rious railroads were present and the Of
flcials were asked many questions By
the men. 1t is the contention Of the
company that the introduction of me-
chanical appliances, such as airbrakes
and patent couplers during the last fiji
teen and twenty years had made the
work of trainmen vastly easier than i'll
| previous years.
THE last ten years of railroad life
declared Mr.. Alexander, have been the
| safest since railroads came into exist
ence. In fact, since automatic couplers
and airbrakes came into use the worl;
of trainman is really a gentleman
job"
l.. B. Rice and George Reed, Penn
sylvania railroad trainmen, led in as
serting that their work was harder
than ever and more dangerous.
