NEGRO LYNCHED AT IDABEL
FOR ATTEMPT TO RAPE
Immediately After Hearing Crowd
Tied Rope Around His Neck
and Kicked Him Off Sec
Ond Story Balcony.

Monday morning at 11:40 o'clock
an infuriated mob Of citizens of Ida
bel, in McCurtain County, lynched
negro, Haskell Martin, as he was
.emerging fro mthe justice court
where he had been bound over to the
District Court upon the charge of
attempted rape.
The negro's attempted crime was
committed in the woods last Friday
afternoon upon a little 13-year-old
white girl, named Edna Murphy.
The little girl and little chum we're
aut in the woods digging wild on
ions when the negro came up to them
and asked them for an onion. The
girls gave him an onion and he then
asked the Murphy girl for the knife
she had with which to dig himself
an onion.
The Murphy girl handed the knife
to the negro and the other girl start
ed off. She had gone only short
distance when she heard her COM
panion scream, and looking around
she saw that the negro had her down
on the ground.
She ran to a small stream a short
distance away where a bunch of ne
groes were fishing and told them this
negro had attacked Edna Murphy.
They paid no attention to her, so she
started back to where she had left
her chum and met her coming down
path.
The two girls went into BismaTk
and reported the matter to deputy
ed the fiend. The girls identified the
man ana he was taken to Idabel,
where he was given a preliminary
hearing.
AS soon as the trial was complet-
ed the sheriff was told to take the
criminal in charge, when a crowd of
men stepped forward and said that
they would take charge of him.
A rope was thrown about his neck
and he was taken out to balcony at
the back of the court room. The rope
was tied around the banisters of the
balcony and the negro was kicked off
after a hard struggle.
AS he went over the side of the
balcony he swung his feet around
one of the supporting posts, which
prevented the rope from tightening
and started to climb the post. Some
one in the crowd on the ground then
grabbed the negro's feet and pulled
him down, but he started back uI
the post again when someone shot
him in the stomach couple of times
with a revolver. The shots and the
strangulation caused by the rope
soon put an end to his struggles.
It had been learned that some time
during the first of last week thu
same negro had attempted similal
crime in Arkansas and was running
from the officers when he made tn,
attempt on the little Murphy girl las
Friday afternoon.
Neither attempt was successful, a
the negro was scared off both times
The report is also that the fien'
who was lynched had been out o
the Arkansas penitentiary only
short time, where he had been serv
ing sentence for similar crime com
mitted in Arkansas some years age

ENGLAND REFUSED DEMANDS

England has refused the American
demand that Germans taken from
the American, liner, China, be re-
leased. The Germans were taken
from the vessel during search on
the high seas. This brings up cen
tury-old issue, which caused ore war
between England and the United
States; and If the Britishers persist
there is no exact telling where the
controversy will end.
