"Kill the negro protector" yelled
the mobbers as the cfowd swayed
over the sheriff, knocking him to the
pavement and preventing those who
had the rope from stringing him up
on the moose.
The feet of many flynch-crazed men
crushed the sheriff, Swapping ribs and
tearing his flesh until he cried out
that he would tell where the negro
was secreted. Then the sheriff was
lifted to an automobile truck and riot
ers dashed away. in the direction in
