FEELING RUNS HIGH
AGAINST ACCUSED NEGRO

Meadow, s. D., Oct. 13.-Damaging
admissions are said to have been made
by Joseph Hickman. charged with the
murder Of Mrs. Ellen Fox and her 49,
year-old daughter, Mildred, whose
charred remains were found in the
ruins of their home near Bixby.
Feeling in this section is running high
and the authorities are taking extra
precautions to prevent a possible
%lynching.
Hickman had persisted in trying to
pay attentions to the girl. and had
been repeatedly rebuffed. Mrs. Fox
became so angered that she ordered
him to stay away from the house. 1t
is claimed that he had made threats
against them.
Both bodies had been mutilated be-
fore the house was set on fire. leaving
no doubt of a murder having been
committed.
In addition to bullet holes in the
woman's head, she had been slashed
with a knife until the flesh was prac-
tically cut from her breast and back.
There were numerous stab wounds on
other parts. Of her body, and her skull
had been crushed, apparently by a
hammer.
The girls skull had been crushed
and h was stabbed several times.
The mother and daughter came to
this part Of the country and worked
hard to prove up on a homestead. The
mother frequently worked for other
settlers to obtain money for their sup
port and both worked in the fields dur
Ing the summer.
