Mobile, Ala, Dec. 20-Four ne
groes, among them two women, ac-
cused of the murder Of DR.. E. l.
Johnston here last week, were taken
from the Jail at Shubuta, Miss, to-
night and lynched according to infor-
nation received in Mobile. All four
were hanged on the girders of a
bridge spanning the Chickasawha Rlv-
er.
Information from Shubuta reach
ing here by distance was to the ef-
feet that the jailer was called into
the streets and 'handcuffed by
member of the mob. He was then
made to unlock the prisoners and with
them was taken in an automobile and
rushed out of town. The: jailer was
put out of the machine before the
party reached the bridge where the
negroes were lynched.
DR.. Johnston was shot and killed
from ambush while in a barn. Major
Clark, one of the negroes lynched,
was arrested and, according to the
county authorities, confessed, impli-
eating the others and stating that ne
had shot DR.. Johnston at the request
Of one Of the women with whom the
dentist had trouble. The negroes
lynched were two brothers and two
sisters, Major and Andrew Clark, and

doing over here, now that we have
abolished the censoring Of mail.
We have been over here for a year
trying to get a rap at the Hun fleet,
but had no luck with the exception
of a few submarines and cuisers, un-
til yesterday when we proceeded to
sea. and met them and brought them
Isn't that enough to take all the joy
Gu. Of life? Now we have got to go
home without a real battle. Maybe
you think all hands aren't sore over
it. Of course, it was a little excited
when. we first came in sight Of them,
for we didn't know for sure If they
were really going to surrender, so all
hands were at their battle stations
and all guns manned and loaded.
But it was useless, for there wasn't
any fight in them at all, so you see we
can't expect much credit for blood
less victory. It was too much like
taking candy from a baby.
We came over here last December.
One battle squadron, composed of the
New York, Texas, Arkansas. Wyom-

the British grand fleet to make up for
a squadron that was lost in the battle

we were to proceed to France to work
with the French fleet. But our
work was done so we'll that when our
time was up Admiral Beatty. COM

A Soldiers Letter
sergt.. G. NJ. Rauton Tells of
Last Days Of War.
somewhere in France, Nov. 1:

Somewhere in France, Nov. 13.
Dear Mother:
By the time you get this letter we
may be started home, though no one
knows. You have known for some
time, but just can't help saying that
the war is over. No doubt all OF the
people were glad to hear through the
papers that the war had finished, but
it did not sound as good to you as It
did to us to know that at eleven
o'clock on the eleventh day Of the
eleventh month the fierce fighting and
the roaring Of the big guns would sud-
denly cease.
We all knew few hours before
that time what would happen, so we
stood at the set time in silence, though
we could hear very very clearly the
bursting Of big shells and the moan
ing of the guns even the small ones,
the time passed very slowly but II
did come. Sounded like the earth It
self was one mass Of dynamite and
had been touched off. Then came a
silence but that was soon broken by
loud shouts, from American boys ana
French; bells rang. whistles blew and
auto horns. made more noise than
a thousand wild mules would make In
tin stables
Though they are a worn out look
ing lot Of horses and men, the French
soldiers are passing in great numbers,
shouting LA Guerre Finish" About
all we can answer is "Oui, bon"
Well if the Germans come to the
terms which they agreed to and to
which they will have to, there won
be very much left of them.
This has been a pretty day here, 1ts
a bit cool but the. sun has shone most
all day, which it has not done Tor
quite a while.
We have been living in dusouts for
sometime, though not just at present.
Henry is about a quarter OF a mile
away, across some muddy hills in a
dugout. He likes it fine. We all hKe
it when we get a good one.
Well, will close for now. You
might hear before long that we are
on our way home. That is if Henry
and don't decide to stay over mere
| here a couple Of years.
! Love to all. Your loving son,
| Sergt. G.. NJ. Rauton.
