Chicago, and was sent in by a Long.
view negro. and had reference to Il
young white girl that had been as
saulted by negro Of that vicinity, and
who later met the fate of those kind
of brutes. Longview was placed under
martial law on Monday, and at the
present time all is quiet in that city.
The Port Arthur trouble arose over
a negro smoking in a street ear. and
