dred people began forming about the
Jail and the officers slipped the
black ont the rear OF the Jail and
into an auto and hurried him out OF

safe keeping.
The negro's name is Alex Jeffreys.
Physicians who examined him after

Negro, Who Was Arrested For Cr'm'
Taken From OFFICERS, Shot TWICE
by Mob and Left for Oead-Recov-
cred and Escaped

Pauls Valley, Okla, April 3.-Ih
city has been wrought up since last
n.sht. when Lee Shiveman, white
deputy constable, was shot to death
at negro dance here.
The officer was the only whlle
man present and is said to nave
been trying to quiet disturbance
AT the dance when he met his death.
The facts leading up to the shooting
of Shiveman may never become
known. as the blacks tell one story
while friends OF the dead oflcer'
who we're with him short time De-
fore he went u the scene o. MS
death. tell another. Although the
officer is said TO have on some occa'
slons used intoXicants, friends OF
-Sniveman insist that he was not
drinking, while the blacks say the
officer was intoxicated and was ex-
ceedng his authority when he met
death.
An unknown negro, who recently
began cooking at a local boarding
house, was arrested by officers Tor
the crime. While being taken by
the tailor from the court house to the
lail shortly before midnight, moD
of twenty-five or thirty men took
the black from the TAILOR and shot
him twice in the breast. Believing
him dead, they left him in a livery
stable, went next door and from
there sent word to some negroes TO
come and get the body. While wait
ing there. the members of the mob
heard a disturbance next door where
the negro had been left. Entering
t..e stable, they We're given only
faint glimpse OF the negro making
mis- getaway. Officers and posses
searched all night and continued to-
Gay. but no trace of the negro can
be found. The feeling against the
black is very high and if retaken
here, there is likelihood that anOth-
er mob will finish the Job which
was attempted last night.
The dead man was about 26 years
of age and leaves a wife and two
children. He was a son of the To-
cl Wells Fargo express agent and
had been an officer about a year.
