SALOONS CLOSED
after LYNCH|NG
Paducah, KY, Citizens Hang Two
Negroes as Result of Attack
Force Way Into Prison.

Paducah, KY, Oct. 17.-On the
heels of two lynchings here yester-
day, Paducah prepared for possible
further trouble last night by order
ing its saloons to remain closed and
by swearing in extra peace officers.
The authorities, it was said, fear
ed the lust for blood among the en-
ployes of large railroad might be
whetted by the summary execution
during the day of two Negroes whose
bodies were afterward burned. One of
them was charged with attacking
the wife of one of the employees; the
other expressed sympathy for him
and, it was said, Landed his act.
The lynchings came after five
hours of labor to enter the cells in
the jail and were the outcome of an
attack made Friday upon Mrs.
George Rose at her home in the sub
lurbs.
The mob gathered about o'clock
yesterday after hearing that the po-
lice had arrested Brock Henley, a
Negro about IS years old who an
swered to the description of Mrs.
Roses assailant. The mob demand
ed the prisoner and brushed aside
the police reserves who had been
sent to the scene. They battered
down the Jail door but found that
the prisoners had been locked in
steel cells.
Failing to find the keys, they sent
for foundryman to cut the bars to
Kenley's cell. Shortly before noon
they had made an opening sufficient
to enable the Negro to emerge. The
march to Mrs. Roses home had be-
gun and on the way Jesse Thorn
hill, about 20 years old who it had
been reported, had lauded Kenley's
attack, was seized. The cavalcade
when it reached the Rose home had
grown to several thousand.
While Henley was being identi-
fed the leaders of the mob resolved
to hang Thornhill. Pleading for his
life the boy was bound and executed.
In few minutes it was announced
that Mrs. Rose had satisfied herself
of the identity of Henley. He was
hanged to the same tree and num-
Der of shots fired into his body.
Quietly the mob gathered quantity
of wood, built fire and placed the
bodies of both Negroes upon it. The
mob and spectators then dispersed.
None of the several hundred per-
sons composing the mob which hang
ed the Negroes has been arrested.

SLEUTHS RAID
Temp BARS
Special Agents of State Seize Consid-
cradle Booze in Keokuk
Establishments.

Keokuk, a., Oct. 17.-Six special
agents operating under the direction
of Attorney General George Cosson
yesterday raided temperance bars in
Keokuk, making many arrests and
confiscating large amount of
liquor.
The Keokuk temperance bars were
licensed by the city at rate Of SIS
"a year. The attorney general sus-
pected that many of these establish
ments were being run for the sale OF
real liquor. He detailed special
agents to work in the city. They Sc
cured evidence on which prosecu-
lions will be based.
II the usual custom is followed,
Attorney General Cosson will bring
action for injunctions against each
of the properties where liquor was
being sold illegally and each opera
tor of bar will be prosecuted GRIM
inally. In addition the liquor will
be condemned and destroyed.
This is the third clean UT Of Mis-
sissippi river cities of Iowa. The
special agents just finished securing
injunctions against nearly thirty
places in Davenport, and prosecut-
ing criminally the operators Of temp
erance bars who were found selling
real liquor.
At Fort Madison, the special
agents found a number Of men
gambling at a carnival. Arrests
were made and fines amounting to
$500 were assessed against the men
found guilty.
The agents then moved here.
The vets were thrown into a panic
by the quick strike made by the at
torney general. Apparently the
temperance bar operators thought
there was nothing to fear. They
were operating with large amount
of real liquor on hand, the special
agents found.
The stuff taken by the detectives
included barrels and half barrels OF
liquor and quarts, half pints and
pint bottles supposed to- contain
whisky. Detectives used search war
rants sworn out before justice Of
the peace for Jackson township, out
side the city, and swooped down on
