TDABEL, Okla, April 3.-Oscar
Martin, a negro, was taken from the
Justice of the peace's courtroom mere
Monday morning about 1 o'clock and
hanged at the rear of the courthouse
in which the preliminary trial had
been in progress. There were about
five hundred persons in the mob,
nearly all of whom had listened to
the evidence in the trial in which the
negro was the defendant. According
to the evidence the negro had com
mitted a statutory offense upon a
13-year old white girl while she was
with d girl companion gathering wild
onions in the woods near BiXmarck
in this county.
At the time the mob took the negro
from the courtroom all the testimony
in the preliminary trial had been com
plcted and the justice of the peace
was ready to announce his decision.
The trial had been held on the sec
Ond floor of the courthouse. The mob
overpowered the officers in the court
room, placed a rope around the ne
gro's neck, rushed him out onto a
porch, tied the remaining end of the
rope to the porch railing and pushed
the negro off He fell about twelve
feet and died within few minutes.
A few pistol shots were fired, the mob
dispersed and during the afternoon
the town had become quiet The
negro's body was cut down and is
here awaiting claimants.

beef cattle in sufficient quantity had

All Is COncialitary.
The state department officially de-
MED during the day a report that in
Guiry had been made of General Car
rama regarding troop movements in
northern Mexico. Neither the state
nor the navy department had dis
quieting information of any kind.
The American consul at Monterey
advised the state department that eX-
element there following the Colum-
bus massacre and entrance of Ameri-
can troops into Mexico had complete
ly subsided.
Friendly relations between the
United States and the de facto gov
ernment, the dispatch said. were well
understood by officials and the native
population in that vicinity and Ameri-
cans were receiving considerate treat
ment.
Navy department dispatches report
ed all quiet on both sides and west
Mexican coasts.
Rumors that the Washington gov
ernment would object to sales of mu-
nitions by foreign countries to the de
facto authorities were formally de-
MED at the state department. 1t was
pointed out that the United States
was selling such supplies to Carranza
and would not be in a position to OBJ
iect to similar action by another ma
ton.
Henry =. Fletcher newly appointed

Pershing 1t was expected that cars
with such supplies rendered for trans
portation by General Funston would
he ready tomorrow.
Secretary Lansing said no response
had been made to the Carranza gov
ernment regarding amendments to the
proposed protocol suggested by Cen
eral Carranza.
An indication of progress of the de
facto government toward re-estab-
fishing its fiscal affairs was found in
the presence here of a CarranZa spe-
cial representative seeking informa-
tion for Director Ralph of the bureau
of printing and engraving for estab-
| lishment of such plant in Mexico
Heretofore the de facto government
