and oiled faggots were placed about
his legs and ignited. As the fire
gained headway his screams could he
heard for half a mile. He was seen
trying to pray, but the words were
inaudible In the confusion. Persons
was burned to a skeleton while citi-
zens of Memphis. men, women. bows
and girls, leaped about in an INSANITY
of vengeance.
Persons had confessed to chopping
OFF the head OF the young school girl
and then assaulting the dead body.
He was captured from the sheriff last
night. when he made an additional
confession TO the mob duplicating two
other negroes of mistreating the body
of the dead girl
The burning was delayed several
hours pending the arrival of a crowd
from Mississippi who desired to wit
ness the event The city is agog with
excitement. Far from taking the mat
ter seriously. a carnival spirit pre-
vailed. Many business houses failed
to open; the newspapers closed their
editions early so that employees might

II is being asserted that some negroes
favor the cause OF Germany and have
threatened not TO serve the United

The mob is now hunting the third
negro implicated by Persons.
While Persons was burning the
mother of the dead girl pleaded with
the mob not to shoot the negro. as
she wanted to see him suffer as her
child had done.

GROWING MORE RABBITS

Rabbit growing enterprises are re- ported from various parts of the country, the animals being raised both for fur and meat. A California com pany is to establish a large fur-rab- bit farm and pack the meat as tin potted hare. Business men of Hamil- ton, Canada, have taken over a fur rabbit farm and will raise Siberian rabbits for fur and meat. This lat ter species Is said to comparatively new to Canada. It sometimes reaches a weight of IA pounds. is black in color, grows very quickly and one doe will produce about 100 young in 8 months. The meat can be produced at cents a pound. 1t is said, and the belts are of very good quality, for rabbit fur. Uncle Sam is looking into the wild Western jackrabbit, which is killed by millions every year as a pest by farmers. It is maintain ed by the Department of Agriculture that jankrabbit meat Is good game when fresh and that the hams when corned and smoked will compare well with German goose hams.
