OKLAHOMA MOB
HANGS J NEGROES
One Strung Up, Freed,
Then Slain, Despite
Pastors Plea.

Nowata. Okla, Sept. 29.-Two ne
proes. accused Of being implicated IN
the killing of Deputy Sheriff James
Gibson during jail delivery here to-
day, were taken from the Jail by
mob tonight and lynched in front OF
the courthouse.
A first attempt to lynch one Of the
negroes, Immediately after their capt
ure, was frustrated by the Rev. Perry
F.. Pierce, a Methodist minister, who
pleaded with the mob until the sus-
nended negro was cut down, uncon-
scious, but alive.
The mob dispersed, but public feel
ing was not allayed. and the mob re-
formed later. with the announced IN
tention Of lynching the two men, VINO
had been returned to jail. when thee

short work was made of putting them
to death. I'll.
Events eliminating in the double
lynching moved with dramatic swlft,
ness. Three negro prisoners ehected
an escape from the county lall Iate
TODAY. They were discovered in the
act by Sheriff James May, who was
knocked down and robbed OF his pis-
tol. Gibson went to his aid and was
shot to death.
II was only a few minutes after the
negroes had gained their freedom that
a mob bent on vengeance was in close
pursuit. Two of the negroes TOOK
refuge in a house in the outskirts OF
Nowata. where they were surrounded
and rearrested. The third negro ap-
parentlv made good his escape.
One of the rearrested negroes, John
Foreman, alleged TO have been the
man who killed Gibson, was wounded
when taken into custody and was not
molested. but the unwounded negro
was seized by the mob, which had
grown TO large proportions. and a
parade through the principal streets
began, with the negro screaming for
mercy. at a ropes end. When the mob
reached the Methodist Church a large
tree offered the opportunity which the
rope suggested.
Lets lynch the negro on holy
oround," shouted some one. The pris-
oner was swung clear OF the grounu
and was being choked to death when
Mr.. Pierce appeared, attracted by the
negro's screams. He rushed from the
house and began his pleadinss for the
seemingly doomed mans life.
The mob paused to hear what the
minister had TO say.
"Men, beseech you, in the name OF
God, not TO desecrate this holy ground,
pleaded Mr.. Pierce. "DO not stain the
name Of our city"
Five minutes the pastor spoke, until
one Of the mob leaders shouted: Men,
Mr.. Pierce is right Take the negro
back to Jail and let the law take Its
course"
The mob obeyed the pastor for the
time, but shortly after the dinner
hour Foreman and the negro who had
been rescued from the mob in the af-
ternoon were taken from the jail by
another and larger mob of citizens.
Foreman was strung up to lamppost
near the courthouse. and Powell was
hanged from tree few feet dis
tant. The Sheriff was not at the jail
when the mob sought entrance.

Saws Defence Is mistaken.

The Kaiser's armies, the Chancel-
lor declared, have built up sue
cessful defence against all hostile
attacks. "The situation Of our faith
full brave allies is unshaken," he
added.
"The battle of the Somme will cost
further sacrifices. Still another
trench and another village may be
lost, but they will not get through y
Of the economic situation the
Chancellor said:
Last winter there was pusillani-
nous anxiety as to whether our food
stuffs would suffice. They have suf-
feed. This years harvest makes US
much more secure than was the case
last year"
Bethmann- Hollweg made a fierce at
tack on Great Britain. He declared
that country was breaking one inter
national law after another, and was,
above all, Germany's most egotistical,
fiercest and most obstinate enemy"
"A German statesman" he said, who
would hesitate to use against this
enemy every available instrument Of
battle that would really shorten this
war-such a statesman should be
hanged"
The Chancellor declared his contempt
for those circulating reports that all
Germany's means of fighting were not
being employed TO the fullest possible
extent. He added that in order to dis
appoint the enemy, who is on watch
for every breach of our inner determi-
nation" he would not give details.
This was his answer TO his critics at
home.
The Chancellor said he realized the
troubles of the people coincident with
the war and that he shared the deep sor-
row for the fallen and mutilated. IL bow
my head" he went on, before the
heroism with which women and men
without distinction of rank or class
bear their sacrifices, united in an ard
ent love for the Fatherland. Still
more sublime and still greater is the
defiance of death with which our sons
and brothers in the field withstand the
violent assaults of the enemy, who.
superior in numbers, are fighting with
the utmost bravery. World history

HOLLWEG PUTS.
VICTORY FIRST
"Germany's House
Burning, We Must
Put Out Fire."

Berlin, Sept. 29.-"To-day, after
two years of fighting, struggling,
suffering and dying, we know more
than ever before that there is only
one watchword-perseyere and win.
We will win."
That is Chancellor Won Bethmann-
Hollweg's answer-made before the
Reichstag-to assertions of the
Allies that the tide is turning against
Germany.
The Chancellor repeated once more
that Germany was fighting for
nothing but defence of her right to
life and liberty" and that she had
declared her readiness for peace be-
fore. But the Allied lust of con-
quest, he added, made peace impos-
sible.
Germany will not be permitted
to think of peace while her house is
burning" he said. "She must first
extinguish the fire."

GERMANS FAIL
COUNTER BLOW
Allies Now Seek to Flank
Bapaume from the
East.
IBy Cable 10 TIE Tribune.

London. Sept 29.-In an effort to
stem the British push toward the Ancre
and Bapsume the Germans opened
heavy counter attack to-day in the
Thiepval sector. But Hsig's line held
firm and his troops succeeded in ex-
tending their gains north of the
Somme.
East of Les Boeufs, where their OBJ
jective is Sally and the positions on
the Bethune road to the north, the
British drove back the Kaiser's troops
along a front Of five hundred yards.
Earlier in the day they had captured
strongly fortified farm a quarter of
mile from lie Sars, on the Bapaume-
Albert road.
The heaviest fighting took place
around Thiepval Here the British, hsv-
ing won the Schwaben redoubt, hold
positions which threaten the German
line all the way to the Ancre, as well
as the northern valley of the river. I'm
less they can be dislodged from this
hold an advance that will bring them
close to the western flank of Bapsume
is possible.
Germans Hurl Tons of She'll
From Beaumont and Mirsmount. ly-
ing beyond the Ancre, the Germans
hurled tons of she'll on the British po-
sitions around Thiepval. But Haig's
troops were able to take refuge in the
cnemy's old dugouts, and so clung to
their ground.
Then the Kaisers forces launched an
infantry attack. The British had won
ar important sector of the strong Hes
sian trench north of Thiepvsl. Before
the fury Of the German counter drive
they had to yield it. But soon return
ing to the attack. Haig's troops drove
cut the foe, and then pushed beyond. In
this action alone the British took more
than five hundred prisoners.
The British line is now practically
o.raightened from the north of Thiep-
val to GueJecourt. On the left Haig
is striving for the crossings of the
Ancre, in the centre he is pushing for
ward along the Bspaume-Alber road,
while on the right the offensive, in
conjunction with the French, aims to
drive a wedge eastward between Pc

BEHIND THIS YEAR
MARCH WILL PROBABLY SHOW A
DECREASE AS COMPARED
WITH 1915.

Realty transfers for the remainder
of the month will have to "pick up"
considerably if the total for March is
to equal the total for the same month
of last year. So far the transfers for
the month aggregate $4,000. For the
same month of last year they were
s17S,000. In a week therefore the
totals must reach $4,000. II the
transfers for the remainder of the
month should not do this 1t will be
the first month of the year that has
failed to show a substantial increase
over the corresponding month Of the
previous year.
