Sulphur Springs. Texas, Aug. %
In fight with an armed posse near
here late today, Joe Richmond was
shot and killed, and his brother, King
Richmond, both negroes. was serious
ly wounded, later the body OF the
dead negro was burned at the stake
with his wounded brother in Buford
Park. in Sulphur Springs.
The negroes early today had shot
and killed Deputy Sheriff Nathan A.
Flippen and probably fatally wound
ed Sheriff j. B. Butler.
When the posse arrived here with
the negroes a large crowd had gath
cred and demonstrated the burning
to be staged in the public square.
Several influential men counselled
that the bodies be not burned, saying
there was nothing to be gained. since
one negro was already dead and the
other probably fatally wounded.
Finally. however, the mob removed
the dead and wounded negroes to
Buford Park. in the outskirts of the
city, where they were burned. There
was little disorder and as soon as the
bodies had been burned the crowd
quietly dispersed.
The sheriff and his deputy had
started to arrest King Richmond on
q minor charge at a negro settlement
south OF here Both negroes. with
out warning. opened fire. killing Flip
pen instantly ana woundins Butler.
The negroes beat Butler over the
head and he Is said to be in pre-
carious condition.
Within short time hundreds of
armed men were searching for the
negroes. They were located in a
battle that ensued Joe Richmond
was killed and his brother wounded.
Peace officers. who joined in the
search, were far in the minority in
the mob spirit.
1t is estimated 1.500 men and boys
trailed the negroes to their hiding
place in the woods. The negroes,
brought to bay, fired several shots,
but their fighting was of short dura-
ton, as the posses fired hundreds of
shots into the covert
1t was learned tonight that Sheriff
Butler wounded one of the negroes
at the time he and the deputy sought
to arrest them at the settlement.
Six thousand people had gathered
in the public square here when the
posses arrived with the dead and
wounded negroes. Pleas of cooler
heads were unavailing and the mob
carried out its work in Buford Park
with little ceremony.
Sheriff Buffers wounds consist of
a broken arm, a shot through the top
OF his head and three fractures OF
the skull.
