FEOLPE WAITING TO LYNCH
NEGRO.

Washington, Ca, Oct. 6.-At one
o'clock this morning a mob of more
than a thousand persons that had
been waiting in the courthouse
square for the arrival of Sheriff
Kelly, of Lincoln county, was
growing restless. The mob had de-
manded that Jack Gordan nero
slayer of Deputy Sheriff Red Free
man of Lincoln county, be turned
over to them, but were persuaded
by cooler heads to await the arrival
of the Lincoln Sheriff.
Sheriff Kelly arrived at the Will
kes county Jail at 2 o'clock this
morning accompanied by several dep
uties from Lincoln county. He
took the negro Jack Gordan who is
alleged to have shot Red Freeman
in Lincoln county Saturday night,
and started back to Lincoln county
with him.
Part of the crowd from Lincoln
county who had been in the mob
in front of the court house all night
left half hour before the Sheriff
arrived and said they would wait
in Lincolnton for the sheriffs ar
rival there with the prisoner. A
dozen cars filled with Lincoln coun-
ty people, however, waited here for
the Sheriff.
'rhe crowd was orderly. The sher-
iff loaded him into his automo-
bile and started for Lincolnton the
dozen automobiles trailing be-
hind.
1t will be after daylight before
the extent of the mobs activities
during the night will be known. 1t
will not surprise the residents OF
this county of Sheriff Kelly is
forced to give up the negro. Gordan
| before he reaches Lincolnton. The
rarty will have to go close to the
scene of the lumber camp where
the 5 others are said to have been
rounded up.

NATURE OF COMPROMISE

London, Oct. 5.-(By the Asso-
ciated ress.)-With dramatic
suddenness in the quiet of the
London Sunday afternoon it was
announced to knot of people in
Dowing street that the great rail-
way strike which appeared to
have brought the conutry almost
TO the brink of revolution was
settled, and that the strikers would
resume work as quickly as possib-
le.
The terms of the settlement are
in the nature of compromise. The
National Union Of Railwaymen ag-
rees to call off the strike, and the
government consents to a renewal
of the negotiations, the continuance
Of existing wage scale for another
viously offered, and the establih-
ment of a minimum wage of 81 shil-
lings while the cost of living is 11O
per cent above the pre- war level.
The settlement Was the result of
q long conference roday between
ing representatives of the railway
mems union, and rePmier Lloyd
George and Andrew Bonar Law in
the famous conference room in
downing street. Prior to this there
was cabinet meeting.
1t is conceded on al sides that
the settlement is the outcome
of the moderate, but determined, ef-
fcrts of tn executive of the Trans
port workers Federation and men
like Arthur Henderson and John
Robert Clynes, who throughout
have set their faces steadily against
the ideal of a sympathetic strike
until every possible avenue of med
iation had been explored.
James Henry Thomas, secretary
of the National Union of Railway
Men, received a tremendous ova-
tion tonight when he appeared
! to address some 5000 of the men
at Albert Hall. 1t was an impres.
